My phone has decided to stop connecting with activesync. So I wanted to do a hard reset, but PDA Viet in his infinite wisdom decided to remove the Clear Storage function from his ROM. I've tried the power+reset button which doesn't work, and read another way to do it that involves a camera button, but my phone is the camera-less version, so I don't have that button. What can I do?
Edit: Was able to get into bootloader mode to reinstall a ROM, but when it completed and booted back up, the old ROM and all my settings were still there! WTF?!

hi everybody..
i've got a serious problem..
here's the story..
i was trying to upgrade to the touch v7 by mr. gullum.
after downgrading my prophet to the no vendor id rom, i upgraded my device to the touch v7.
next i tried to hard reset my prophet, realised that i can't do it cuz my camera button is not working.
went to a phone repair shop and fixed the button..the solder was..loose? i mean, the thing was unconnected from the pcb.
fixed it and tried to hard reset again.
black screen of hard reset appeared, but when i released the comm button, it went straight to the white screen showing os ver and ipl, spl ver.
tried to hard reset again and failed, it entered the white screen where we can restore rom dumps..i immediately pressed the comm button and camera button again..and it started formatting the bnfs..thing?
still can't do hard reset, tried to flash the no vendor id again, and this is the problem..i get stuck on 95% and after that it jumps to 100% straight away.
tried to flash gullum's touch v7 but i got the message that no device detected...tried pv 5.0.0.0.5b, pv 4.00.0.6, nanoscopic all with same result...
anyone can help?
oh maybe this will help:
when i tried to flash the no vendor id again, what shows up is this..(see attachment) the from image version is blank..
on the 95% where i get stuck, the progress bar on my device turns red as when it happens on the 80%.
thank you, everybody...
progress..
hi there,
it's not that usual mistake people make..i think i've screwed my hardware too..
now, my previous problem was unable to hard reset because my camera button was not working..the solder was loose..
i've soldered it and the problem was after every succesful attempt to flash 'no vendor id' rom, it resets and goes to bootloader screen again (tricolor screen)..
late last nite, i tried to hard reset after succesful flash of 'no vendor id' rom (after it resets and enters the bootloader screen)..i succeeded to get into the black screen of hard reset but when i released the comm button, it went straight into the htc white screen without me being able to press any button at all..
everything went well though, and it went to the 'tap screen to set up your device'..at this point i tried to flash the 'nanoscopic' rom (last rom i use before i messed up this phone)..it went well!
after succesful attempt, i tried to hard reset again (no luck again), but after the htc screen shows up, the nanoscopic splash screen appeared!!!
whew, i thought i had my phone fixed already, but when i did a clear storage, it resets and enters into bootloader screen again! i tried soft reset via software and via manual way, and it enters the bootloader screen everytime!
now, i've fiddled some more and i now realise that just by pressing the comm button and doing soft reset can make me go into the bootloader screen..i'm guessing that the technician at the phone shop soldered wrongly...and now my comm button works as camera button too..
i think he accidentaly soldered some other button too to the comm button and that's why i always get into the htc white screen after i release the comm button in the black screen of hard reset..
i'm going to go back to the shop again after work today, but i'm still confused about the way my device enters bootloader after every reset (hard reset and soft reset)..
a friend gave an opinion that maybe, like in desktop, (there's the bios then there's the operating system), the 'bios' of my device is ****ed up?
any help greatly appreciated!
Dear all,
Desperately need help and deeply appreciate if anyone could shed some light.
I recently upgrade my rom. The rom upgrade without problem, after I installed couple of applications, the phone was hang after restart.
I tried re-flashing the rom couple times and it seems everytime restart, the rom will hang.
After several re-flashing, my phone now stuck at the screen where, it stated, system is being configure and stuck on this screen forever.
I tried reset the rom by Vol-down & back key as well as vol-down & center key, Rom upgrade completed successfully but upon phone restart, my phone keep stuck at the same screen.
I do noticed that, by resetting the phone into bootloader mode (reset with Vol-Down, back key) with USB cable attached to my phone, the bootloader detected USB connection but time out.
Is there any software which I should install on my laptop which allow me to transfer another diamimg.nbh to this phone?
Thank you

you should try mtty...it formats your phone and solves all the problem like the yours..a guide to use it is in a sticky thread
or you can try downloading any rom and usually the chef includes a file called customRUU.exe..put your phone in bootloader mode then flash trough customRUU.exe

Hi
im really hoping someone could help....
my phone decided to yet again throw another tantrum and crashed out, i first of all lost bluetooth like last time, and it kept hanging.
I restored the rom but no avail.
Stupidly i decided to wipe everything in clockwork mod and now the phone just shows up the android splash screen flashes and then shines again.
ive tried going into safe mode (vol - and power) but the phone fails to launch it. all it does is vibrate then continue onto the android screen
am i up the creek?
thanks for your help

try the suggestions in this thread?
(simple search brought this up)
I'm curious, did you full wipe and then try to reboot without first flashing a rom? I've always wondered what would happen if you did that, not keen to try it myself
Hi,
Need help. have recently installed the ICS Rom with sense 4.0, was working fine until I go and do a system restore with titanium backup. The phone keeps restarting after displaying messages that the contacts storage has stopped. Message has stopped.
I tried to get into recovery mode to flash the rom again but now I cannot get into recovery mode. I tried selecting recovery from the the phone menu. Tried using volume - and power button it doesnt work.
Please help. Thanks
Can you get into fastboot?
Try taking the battery out, put it back in then try vol- & power
Already tried but it just keeps bypassing the recovery. Tried taking the sd card out, the sim card out, doesnt work...
i was thinking of remotely controlling it...but not sure how to do it
I finally managed to squeeze past the 15 secs window before it restarts to do a factory reset. Now it is back to normal. Just need to try later if can go to recovery.
i have a pretigio multipad 3270b. I was busy putting music onto my memory card when all off a sudden my screen went blank and when it came back on it was stuck on the prestigio screen the whole time. I tried all the button combination i can think of to enter the recovery mode.or clockwork mode to do a factory data resent but i don't seem to get into it, keep going to that one screen. I can get into the device at all. tried the reset button as well and still nothing. Please as anyone know how to get into that recovery mode or clockwork mode to do the factory data reset it will be truly appreciated. Thank you

Johan, I have a similar issue with my Huawei U8652 (2.3.6), I just removed the battery for a few seconds, put it back in turned it on and it worked as normal. But I too now can't do a factory reset now, phone works as normal until I turn it off and plug it in to charge or to the PC. Hopefully we'll get a solution to this, I'm thinking I may have to flash a default ROM but not sure how since my boatloader is borked.
