Hello,
How can I do a hard reset with wm5. If i push power and reset button. It will not hard rest. Because everthing in my agenda and all my contacts are still there.
And how can i format my sd card.
Thanx a lot
Press and hold the "Power" button, and then press the Reset Button
Colored stripes (the bootscreen) will appear on the screen
* Quickly press "Record" & "Camera" before the versions appear at bottom right
* OR, press "Power" & "Camera" & "Record" buttons and Reset at the same time
Either way mentioned above should work
You'll see three options on screen. You MUST change the second and the third to "yes"
* You can do that with the "Camera" and the "Record" buttons.
When you are done, press the "Mail" button
A white screen will show for a while - just wait.
It is presently clearing your device in preparation for the new ROM to start executing
When the bootscreen, aka. the colored stripes is displayed, wait more, you are booting
The welcome screen to set up your device will appear shortly ... and you are done...
After having thoroughly read the 280 pages of the UM of my Rhodium, I've tried several times (three digits number !) to hard-reset my machine, but alas, without success.
I've tried every possible combination of ON/START/STOP buttons but none works.
I either happen to make the message "do you want to switch off your mobile" (in french, as French am I) or the menu to activate ringer/vibrator etc to appear, but never ever got the ability to hard-reset my unit.
What's wrong with me/my Rhodium ?
Thx in advance mates !
Instructions on how to hard reset are in the wiki. Don't know what these "ON/START/STOP" buttons you mentioned are. The buttons involved in making a hard reset are the Power, Call Send, and Call End keys.
Alternatively, you can go to "Clear Storage" in your settings and follow the directions on screen.

You do know that you need to turn off the device first? Alternatively, do a "clear storage" as mentioned above, if you still have access to your device.

Yes, I do know, thank you for your response, and I tried either way unsuccessfully !
I do have access to my machine but needed it to be fully reset.
"clear storage" works fine, but that does not explain me why the "three finger salute" fails...
You are keeping the SEND and END keys down whilst you turn the POWER on aren't you? then releasing only when you see the tricolour screen
I updated the wiki page the other day to make the steps a bit clearer.
Give it antoher go .

Problems with Hard Reset on a Verizon Touch Pro 2
Hi Guys,
I've had my Verizon version of the phone since the beggining of the week and I cannot make a Hard Reset work either. The combination of Send/End/Power buttons do not work, and on my Verizon version there is no "Clear Storage" item under the system tab in settings. I've watched the U-Tube clip in the Wiki, and I note that HTC's site for the Verizon variant refers to using "Clear Storage".
Looking in the Windows directory there is a Clear Storage html file but there is no ClearStorage.exe. I have extracted a ClearStorage.exe from my Tilt and inserted it into the Windows directory of the Touch but to no avail.
Does anybody have a fix for this? Could this be another "exclusion" by Verizon to stop us working with our phones?
Sorry to insist, but you have turned the device completely OFF, right? So it's not just in "stand by/screen off" power saving mode, but completely off? So that when you press the power button, the phone starts loading WM etc.
Again, sorry to insist, but I couldn't figure out any other reason for the hard reset not to work.
Don't mind you insisting because this issue is stupid. Yes I have turned the phone completely off by pressing the End button until the phone states "Your phone will be turned off. Press No to cancel.
When I attempt the Hard reset it the phone merely restarts regardless of how long I press the buttons.
All this would not be so much of an issue if "Clear Storage" was available. Short of waiting for the first cooked ROM (and therefore Hard SPL) to appear for the CDMA phones, is there any way to put that back? Obviously it requires more than copying the .exe to the windows directory. My Tilt has a 6.5 cooked ROM. Is is possible that the .exe is slightly changed in that one vs 6.1?
Other Verizon phone owners - can you confirm that the "Clear Storage" is missing?
Edited:
On my Verizon, the Clear Storage is on the System tab, under 'Memory'. Select 'Memory' and select the Clear Storage sub tab.
Taken from ppcgeeks:
FOR VERIZON TP2 ONLY (Sprint & GSM have different settings)

I just confirmed that this works on a Verizon phone. I got the hard reset prompt with this key sequence.
For Verizon users that want to do the clear storage through the OS, it's located under Memory in Settings on the Clear Storage Tab.
Settings -> All Settings -> Memory -> Clear Storage
Happy formatting :-D
Thanks everyone
Thanks everyone for resolving this.
This is what HTC Touch Pro2 (Verizon) site says under FAQ "General & Others":
"Q. What does a Hard Reset do and how is it performed?
A hard reset removes all information from your device and returns it to a state just like it has never been used before. All contacts, messages, emails, 3rd party applications, etc. will need to be reinstalled after performing a hard reset. To perform a hard reset, navigate to Start > Settings > All Settings > System (tab) > Clear Storage. Follow the on-screen prompts to complete. This process will take 5-10 minutes".
Clearly no reference to being under the Memory Icon. The link is:

Could we ask the moderator to arrange for the Wiki to be updated for the CDMA vcersions?
I have a Verizon TP2. Clear Storage on my phone is located at Settings/Memory and then the Clear Storage Tab. It asks you to enter a number to reset your phone and restore Verizon default settings.
Edit: Bah, guess I didnt see the second page )
running CM 10.1.3
Clockworkmod installed.
My Vol. Down is broken, so I cant boot into recovery the normal way.
Any ideas? I need to hard reset asap.
CM has "advanced reboot" built in, enable this feature in Developer Options, hold POWER key, choose Reboot and you'll see the option to reboot into recovery.
If you're not using a touch recovery, you might still have to flash one, in case some actions require both volume keys.
Sent from Google Nexus 4 @ CM11
You may have to enable the advanced reboot menu by doing this:
1enable developer options. These used to be in the normal settings screen for the phone but they are hidden now.
1go to about phone
2scroll to the bottom
3find the “build number” field
4click on it seven times and it will turn on developer options.
2go back one level to the main settings screen and you’ll see developer options now. Open that
3Enable advanced reboot options by clicking on the relevant checkbox
4go back to the main settings menu again and then click on “System” under the interface section
5Inside the system menu click on “Power Menu”
6Make sure “reboot menu” is checked.

When having any issue after an update.
Anything from battery drain to the pin lock numbers showing up as white squares has been known to be fixed by this.
First:
Boot the device into the android system recovery menu
Press and Hold the volume up key, the Home key and the Power key. When you see "Recovery Booting" in very small blue text at the top of the screen you may release those keys
The Android robot will appear
A dos-looking menu will appear (note that your touch screen is disabled in this menu)
Using your volume keys as directional keys and your power key to select the desired option.
Highlight the option that states "wipe cache partition"
Press power key to select
the option "reboot system now" should then be highlighted; select that option using the power key
i done it but still have the same problem !

Are you using a replacement battery? Not all are nfc capable. Also a case could block the signal, but you should still see the options.
Hi,
I got a little annoying problem that I can't seem to get fixed.
I don't get any vibrations whenever I get a notification apart from Whatsapp and Instagram.
So Mail, Snapchat, ... nothing.
Notification sound does work though!
But I got some more information which might help troubleshooting.
I use Lightflow because I don't want to have the LED except on very certain apps and I disabled these really annoying Banner notifications completely with the ADB command "heads_up_notifications_enabled 0"
I am pretty sure that I had working vibrations before the ADB thing but I don't see a real connection between Banners and Vibration especially because WhatsApp works correctly, just everything else doesn't.
I tried this solution but it didnt work:
Code:
Go to Setting -> Apps, click on the 3 dots in the upper right hand corner and select "Show system apps"
Scroll down and click on "BadgeProvider" app
In app properties, click on "Storage", clear both the Cache and Data.
Shut down the phone and following the directions below to "wipe cache partition".
Wipe cache partition
Turn off the device.
Press and hold the Volume Up key and the Bixby key, then press and hold the Power key.
When the Android logo displays, release all keys ('Installing system update' will show for about 30 - 60 seconds before showing the Android system recovery menu options).
Press the Volume down key several times to highlight “wipe cache partition.”
Press the Power key to select.
Press the Volume down key to highlight “yes” and press the Power key to select.
When the wipe cache partition is complete, “Reboot system now” is highlighted.
Press the Power key to restart the device.
Galaxy S9
Telekom
Unrooted
ADB: Changed Banners and Ran the bxActions thing
I hope someone has an idea.
Thanks
EDIT: Okay it's solved. Apparently the mail program decided to switch the vibrations off by itself randomly and in Snapchat it was my stupidity to overlook the settings. Nevermind then
