That's a good one! I always wonder whether the members of HTC development team are aliens..
Second that! I never (not yet?) succeeded to make a hard reset. You guess that till now I haven't made a hard reset after flashing a ROM, just backup with Sprite. Conclude that it is not necessary.
HTH.
the answer is yes or no

Are you sure or just think so?
With the Kaiser you needed to do an extra hartreset after a flash, but with most other you don't need to do that.
Because flashing a ROM normally flashes everything (except for your internal storage) so no need to do an extra hard reset.
I don't know what's the case with the Diamond...
i just want to know do u need to flush after every upgrade or no
i just want to know do u need to flush after every upgrade or no????
Remember that after you flash a rom, system performs a SOFT Reset and NOT a Hard Reset. So always its better to do a hard reset after every flash, to fully clear the memory from those hidden or system files from the previous installation.

FYI. Here is how to Hard Reset our new toys .
To perform a hard reset
1. With the device turned off, press and hold the TALK/SEND, END and POWER buttons until you see this message on the screen.
"This operation will delete all your personal data, and reset all settings to manufacturer default. Press VolUp to restore manufacturer default, or press other keys to cancel."
2. Release the TALK/SEND, END and POWER buttons.
3. Press the VOLUME UP button to perform the hard reset, or press any other button to cancel the reset.
You'll need it ))
Just asking but isnt going threw the settings and memory clear then it will tell you to put in "1234" to confirm it the same? Thats what i did and it restored it to all factory settings or does this way do more?
yeah, you can hard reset that way... but someday you'll need to hard reset the hardware way.... ie: after flash cooked rom, when the "touch here bla...bla..." message appear, you'll want to hard reset straight away... much faster than setup, and then hard reset later...
@doublecheese: nice info... thanks..
While I was trying new programs to my TP2 , the phone just hang, even after soft reset, it was just hanging on the opening screen so the phone never could start, so I had no chance but to Hard Reset the phone.
So you'll need it

Will a hard reset replace the core files, i.e the bluetooth ones that TomTom has corrupted? As I've tried using someone elses and no dice

Hard Reset will put the phone back to how you got it (or if you've flashed a ROM, to how it was just after you flashed a ROM).
So, Yes

in soft reset the phone will only turn off and on..
just like if u restart ur computer..
u wont loose anything.
Is there any reason why resetting wont work? I tried it several times. With the send/end/power combo and also with vol+/vol-/power combo. Neither of these combinations worked. It's non branded TP2 and only 2 weeks old.

Am I doing something wrong? I never get the confirmation for a hard reset. I have held the green, red and reset button at the top through a whole power cycle and no dice. I also tried just the green and red buttons, what is going on?

I think a Verizon TP2 has a different key combination.
Try this:
- Power off the phone using the 'end' key.
- Hold 'volume down' and 'send', the press 'end' till you see blue text. Follow hard reset prompts.
Thanks, I will keep that in mind for next time fore I have already used the clear programs avenue.
Awesome! Thanks for the info.

Are you sure Settings->Privacy->Factory Reset doesn't work? I've used it twice already and it did the job.
Anyway, try Home + Volume Down(not Up), then power on.

If you have the key combination right, it should give you instructions for a factory reset as soon as the phone turns on.

not possible to get into that booting menue to hardresett the device completely.
It just starts normally, doesnt matter witch keys u press....
I've tried every button combination too and no hard reset.
WEIRD. i did left and right (back and menu) to boot and it booted me into safe mode?
Nah, same problem.
Get a "safe mode" screen.
If anyone knows the button combination, please share.
Seems a lot has been done... could it be there is no such option for xperia at all, to get to boot mode?..
You must flash doomkernel for xrecovery.
For doing that you must unlock bootloader.

Help pls.. My sony st15i doesnt repond to touch,.. I think it is because of the script that i run to fix the overhet issue.. The prob is it boots but i cant unlock and i cant type numbers.. How can i input that to my phone.. i cant unlock it T_T
Hold back and menu, then press power briefly until it powers on and then release power, don't let go of the back and menu buttons until the phone powers on, it should say safe mode down the bottom left, then go ahead and factory reset the phone.
Hope this helps.

Hey guys,
When i get my new phones, i like to start off with a factory reset before setting it up. call me weird or what-ever but that is what i like to do.
I've tried searching, but i get factory reset instructions from a rooted phone.
is the factory reset the same as the NS?
I don't know if it is any different in ICS........
can some one give me a quick break down???
i know i know i know..... ***flame suite on****
settings > backup & reset > factory data reset
thanks for the reply!
what about factory reset from the boot screen?
You can hold down both the volume up and down keys and the power button to boot into the bootloader.
Cycle to recovery using the volume rocker and use the power button to select.
I believe you can then wipe data from recovery but I haven't tried it on the GN.
Maybe someone else can confirm.

how long should it stay when i do a factory reset.. because i selected it and the screen is locked on the htc logo for ages now :|
That's to long . I think its a warranty case
Any chance that your battery level is too low ?
RMA
Looks llike a hardware problem.Go to the service center and get it repaired
Just selsct "Hboot" with volume keys & Press Power key on "hboot"
then you are on previous screen of hboot menu located 1. Fastboot 2. Recovery, 3. Factory Reset etc etc Selst 3 option by Volume keys & press power key. It will reset your phone to factory defaults ( you will loss all our Data).
Please do on your own Responsibilty, I am not responsible for any damage.
Press THANKS button if you like.

Do you have ClockworkMod installed or is it the Default Recovery?
If its clockwork, then read on...
1. Power+Volume Down
2. Wait about a minute for HBOOT to do its thing.
3. Key DOWN. Press POWER
4. Wait a few secs
5. Volume Down x2 then POWER
6. Then Volume Down x7 then finally Power.
That is a factory Reset.

You can also perform a factory reset straight from hboot, just boot your phone to bootloader ( pull out battery, insert it back in, hold vol down and press power button ). Now when you are ( hopefully ) in bootloader, all you have to do is wait 30 sec ( it will check sdcard for possible files to flash ), and then press volume down 3 times, then just hit power button. It should reboot once to standard recovery ( to perform a wipe ) and once again to system, you should be able to hear startup sound if everything went OK.
Thanks, I gave it a go. No way to be sure really so I'll just cross my fingers!
