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
Oh ok gotcha, thanks for the tip
do you mean press and hold the "pick up" and the "hang up" and the power button?? beacause its not clear for me?

Yes, that is wat he means ;-)
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.

But since HSPL is out thanks to Olinex, you can upload many new custom cookes roms which are available for the Rhodium.
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.

Settings --> General --> Factory reset.
I got it to go to the factory reset screen after I clicked yes on both questions it said factory reset disabled by kills witch and went back to my home screen and didn't do anything
hello, trying to help a friend, he forgot his pass and his home button is not working
therefore can not enter to recovery to do a factory reset.
is there any other way without the home button? thanks
please help guys, tried adb shell but i need to allow the connection on the screen, can't because theres password
also can't get to recovery for factory reset because the home button doesn't work so i can't use the combination.
any suggestions?
A friend of mine brought me his phone to do a factory reset.
But when i try the power button and volume down hard reset it doesnt work.
When the LG logo appears i release the power button and press it again, but it just goes to the Verizon screen and boots as normal.
Any suggestions besides the factory reset in Settings?
Thanks
