I have tried to do so but no luck

hard-reset i900
The Samsung hard-reset of i900 is pain-on-the-a**....
Hold the End and Send button lightly at the same time press Soft-Reset button with slylus.
Just hold the two buttons light, do not press hard, but to my experience, how light... I really don't know... just try many... many time... and suddently, it come up the hard reset menu.
Sometime it took me about an hour... bloody...
Good luck,
KC

sure, already did it a couple of times. its gonna show you to press send to format the device or something like that.

Thanks,
I have tried it for more then an hour, but i will keep on trying

dude, just lay the omnia on a flat surface, use left pointer and middle fingers to press (and hold) the send and end buttons. with right hand, use the stylus to soft reset the phone. i know i did have to try maybe 2-3 times before i got it right. but after that initial uncomfortableness, the next ones were easier.
tricky part is keeping it still while trying to do it.

i success on my first try thanks for explanation guys

Thanks
Worked like charm !!
The trick is not to let go of the End & Send buttons until the reset screen appear ...

i tried till my fingers are numb.
finally worked. thank you man.
press & hold. really does work. and hold for like..6-10secs.

Actually, what I did was press the reset button, while booting up, once the Samsung screen appears, immediately press the call and end key together. It'll ask if you want to reformat, then press the call to accept or end to reject.

kevin
Did you tried bootloader mode and then flash again the rom ?
how do i do that. i took the memory card out and it rebooted.
kevin
Taken from : http://wiki.xda-developers.com/index.php?pagename=Artemis_Resets
To do a hard reset.
Press both soft keys and insert stylus into soft reset button and press.
Release the soft reset button and keep pressing the soft keys.
When the "This operation will delete all your personal data, to manufacturer default" appears on screen.
Press Green call button to restore manufacturer default, or press other keys to cancel.
The bootloader is invoked by pressing down the Power and Voicedialer buttons simultaneously, and using the stylus at the same time to press the RESET button at the left side. Continue pressing the two buttons for a few seconds after pressing and releasing the reset button until the bootloader screen appears.

hi
thanks for your sugestions i took the memory card out and deleted some stuff from it and it works now. this seems to be a problem with the orbit as i have seen a few people mention it on various posts.

Motorola Q9H Hard Reset

Hey guys,
I had a quick search through the forum here and i couldnt see it posted,
My boss's q9h wouldnt boot up so i had to figure the hard reset function with keys.
Incase anyone needs it:
Turn device off
Press and hold the "E" and "Z" keys
Press Power button once
When screen comes on, let go of "E" and "Z"
Press Power button once again.
There should be a black message atop the screen saying reset activated.
Then wait several minutes while it resets itself to factory.
Hope this helps someone.
thank you very much, got mine done as well
cheers
Thanks MAN..
Thanks man its work

Stuck on Align screen (tapping works)

I just resurected my xda IIs from the grave and upon start I come to the Align screen stage. I follow the directions as usual but it just keeps asking for the taps over and over and over. It never passes the same five steps. I've tried different ROMs but they all stop there. Could it be caused by the little internal battery being dead? Is my digitizer crap? Is it martians? Are the forces of evil combining against me? Am I doomed?
I'd like to see this old guy work again.
Thanks for any tips in advance.

hard rest then hold the 2 buttons next to the volume slider only and press the rest button on the bottom using the stylus.this should take you to the 4 color screen with 3 options to be set
1st one leave as NO just press the top button
2nd option as yes by pressing the bottom button then press the top button to goto the 3rd
3rd option change to yes again by pressing the bottom button
then press the message button on the front that looks like an postal letter
this wil reset the options saved kind of like resetting a pc bios to manufacture defaults .
then try again to do the alignment.
I had similar when I flashed pdaviets rom to my blue angel and that resolved it
Thanks for the reply, unfortunately I broke me screen tinkering with it so I'm not able to test your idea.
I started with two LCDs one with a bad digitizer and one with a broken screen. I touch the digitizer off the one a replaced the other so that I had a working screen but then I had the problem listed above. Before I saw your response I thought I might have some dirt or something under the screen causing it to not work so I took it apart but I guess I was just a little too rough this time and cracked the LCD
I'll have to find a new LCD if I plan to resurrect this phone.
Thanks anyways for the help

I´ve tried everything with my XDA III PH20B1 - no camera model -, but I never get the 3 options screen. Just the 4 colors and bottom right the radio version R 1.10.00.
Is there any other way how to make my O2 XDA III boot after the WM6.1 upgrade ( from 2003se) ?
I have the same problem (I have already reply in another thread...), I am still trying to fix it. I suspect from the backup battery, since before I hard reset my SX66 all programs lost their configuration when I turn off and on again my SX66, and when I tried to realign the screen the align cycle repeated forever. Then I tried hard resetting, reflashing to various OS's and I can not pass the initial calibration screen.
Please keep me posted if someone have found the way to solve it.
Thanks !
no need to upgrade or delete anything from bios,this is not a cause of motherboard and software.I removed the motherboard and essembled in a working screen phone.there is no problem all ok,its not a problem with backup battery too.Then i changed working phone motherboard to cant align phone but same as before it dsnt align.Therefore in my investigation its a problem with the touch or screen.
its not a problem with screen cover too.
If any knows the exact solution for align problem screen ,please post it.
eway - press the power/stand by and leave for 15-30secs
then pen reset, press [cam] + [rec] as the 4 colour screen comes on and change 2/3 - as previously stated countless times - press [mail] to reset - this will reboot your new rom.
touch flo user manual is a little allusive
but, soo much too test, soo little time

How to bypass Align Screen?
If you have flashed a proper rom/ hard reset your device, there could be some dust on display which won't let the align screen pass. This is a real annoying feature on WM platform. But guess there are always ways to bypass software related issues.
The display can be cleaned by patting a small amount of water on it, and then running the water along with a visiting card on the edges of the screen. This will take off all the dust on the sides, and will let you pass the align screen easily. You can simply wipe the display propely with a glass cleaner.
If this doesn't help then :
When your phone says align screen, connect the phone with computer and get it detected in Active Sync. Next, you could be able to access Tree/Files on your phone. If you are able to do so, then go to startup and delete files directing to Align Screen, if I remb it was "welcome" something. Delete the file, and there won't be any align screen.
or
You can always go for an easier method. Download Code Factory's Remore Screen Alignment (http://www.codefactory.es/en/downloads.asp?id=108). And simply enjoy.
In both of the case, active connection with Active Sync is important. If you are unable to connect your phone, then I believe there ain't any way other than changing the display.
Hope it helps.

O2 Flame
Hello everybody,
I've got a serious problem with my 2 years old O2 Flame: sometimes, when I reboot my pda, I can't realign the screen. And when I can do it, after a while, the left of the screen doesn't respond, or, when I click on it, it's another part of the screen that answers! I flashed the bios already: nothing changed.
@Gerd
Did you try Remote Screen Alignment?
Sonny
wow, that tool is awesome. My digitizer is cracked.

Hardware or Software IDK BUT I NEED HELP!!!!

Alright my phone just started to act up last night ! My phone just started to take pictures on its on the camera would turn on and sit there and take them. IDK why!!! Also the biggest problem i am having it that my D-pad shuts off!!! when i try to use the soft keys they will not work for me. The Screen works fine! but when the soft keys don't work my keyboard don't work but the phone know i am using the keyboard as in when i press the space bar it brings down the start menu! Also when the soft keys dont work i use the on screen keyboard to type and that is even F%#!%# UP!!! i type on the on screen keyboard but i can not use the backspace on the or arrow keys. Also the scroll button on the side stops working on me also. when i am in call my soft keys shut off and i cant end a call!!! Now the weird thing about all this is i can turn them all on just by pressing one of the top soft key. (the Msg or internet button) and then everything starts to work again. now i have no clue what is wrong with it and i have tried everything from reinstalling the OS to Clearing the OS and that has not helped ! i really hope its not a hardware problem !!! Right now i have my Camera button off and the camera does not take pics on its own right now but my screen does turn on and just sits there and does nothing. But if anyone can help me solve this problem i will Donate to them = D!!!! Please Help Me Out ASAP!!!
Thanks!!!
well thats screwed upp. lol
yea i cant help you. i just wanted to tell you how screwed up it was.
I would try a hard reset first and/or rom reflash.. if that doesn't work better buy you a parts doner phone

Uh OHHHH

After devunlocking last night, now my phone is messed up
The problem is the back,windows and search button no longer work, the portion of the screen that they take up is now like an extension of thescreen it just selects stuff as if it were at the bottom of the screen. Any help to reset all the files in root to factory, I tried to hard reset and soft reset.
Maybe I screwed up the registry or some files. Thanks for any help
try factory reset. hold camera + volume down + power. when phone vibrate release power button while holding the other 2 buttons. should prompt you to reset your phone. hope that works
Thx
I tried that but it enters USB Host mode, I also tried holding down up and down volume and power button to reset which resets it but doesn'tfixmy problem. it's acting like the part of the screen where the windows, search and back button are are now part of the regular screen and those 3 buttons no longer do anything.
This sounds rather like a hardware error. Your calibration of the touchscreen is messed up. I suggest you send it in. You still should have warranty?!
Btw. I don't think this has a connection to unlocking the phone!
If the phone hasn't been tampered with physically, it should be enough to just sync it without re-unlocking it, and it should be locked again.
Thx
I got a new one on the way. I didn't delete any files or regedit a bunch of stuff just a standard dev unlock and it started acting squirrly.
