Manual Hard reset?? - Touch Pro2, Tilt 2 Windows Mobile General

Is there a way to manually hard reset the TP2 w/o having to go into settings??
Please help!!

Turn off your phone completely. If buttons and touch screen become unresponsive, pull the battery out.
Hold both "send" and "end" button, then press and hold "power" button. Follow the on screen instructions.

for verizon
Hold down the end key till the device powers off, then hold volume down, send
and end till you see blue text on a white background. Follow hard reset prompt

I think this is for the At&t version below
1. Turn off the TP2. In my case, I had to pull the battery out since the on-off button didn't work
2. Press and hold the SEND and END keys simultaneously
3. While continuing to hold the SEND and END keys, press the POWER BUTTON (a bit of finger contortion here)
4. Press the VOLUME UP button

Hold the TALK, END, and backlight( on top of the phone) With the phone off till you get the reset screen. or if the phone is on then hold all 3 and use the stylus to hit the reset button till you get to the screen to reset.

This can be tricky, So I know from trial and error, Since there are not many guides out there that explain in detail on how to do this, with this particular device, I have decided to go ahead and make one up for you guys.
Here are the steps:
Step One:
Preform power down *Hold the power button* Till the phone is 100% powered down and all you see is a black screen
*keep in mind if your device is plugged into a power source or computer link this will not work!*
Step Two:
(Use both hands while doing this it will be much easier!)
Place 1 finger on each of the Soft keys.

Step Three:
Press the power Button and hold for no more than 2 sec well holding the two soft keys (do not hold the power button till the phone turns on) ONLY PRESS THE POWER BUTTON DO NOT TURN THE PHONE ON. After pressing the power key keep your fingers on the Two Soft keys until you see a the phone turn on and a black screen come up with white writing. Once you see this screen Press the Green Send key and there you go you have just performed a hard reset on the T-Mobile dash without using the settings screen on the phone. 8)
---- end crtl+<c> / crtl+<v>

I recive answer from HTC:
The way you do a hard reset on a touch Pro 2 is :
1. With the device turned off, press and hold the VOLUME UP and VOLUME DOWN buttons, then briefly press the POWER button.
2. Continue pressing the VOLUME UP and VOLUME DOWN buttons until you see this message on the screen:
3. Release the VOLUME UP and VOLUME DOWN buttons, press the VOLUME UP button to perform the hard reset, or press any other button to cancel the reset
Thank you once again for your continued patronage.

But, this instruction not work.
Try holding the Vol Up and Down together and Reseting with the Stylus. (Just a guess BTW )
P.S. Did you get my PM ?
Thanks

From what I've read about the Topaz:
Hold Vol UP and Vol DOWN together (keep them pressed down and do not release). Then press the reset button with the Stylus and hold it for a few seconds, then remove the stylus keeping vol up and down pressed.
Or if the device is off hold down Vol Up and Vol Down (keep them both pressed until you see the message) and then Power On.
A Hard Reset is usually a two button combo whilst the device is powering on (either from a reset or from a cold boot).

That screen reads like the software is dead due to it being a beta test.

I have the same problem. Can anybody PM me with a solution to this? Tried all I know and nothing works...
Ok, here it is.
To hard reset Touch PRO 2 you have to press power + start call (green) + end call (red) buttons. Hold them all and press reset button. Keep holding them untill you see screen that says to press volume up button to reset .

Haha, me 2.
Think he meant to say, turn the phone off, hold start call and end call keys and then press power on while holding down the two buttons. Nothing needed with the reset button.

Thanks! That did it! Team effort though!
What is this, some pre-release touch pro 2?

Hard reset without stylus :)

For those of us who get frustrated with the reset button being hidden under the TP2 cover, I'm happy to have just discovered that you don't even need to go there... Just hold down the volume down button and do a soft reset from within the software and hey presto. Same result.
For a hard reset?
Never needed a stylus.
Just navigate to Settings - All Settings - System - Clear storage - 1234 - Done.
Easy enough with my finger.
And where do you find a soft-reset button on you Rhodium??
(I had to install Smaberg's util for a softreset button)
personally I downloaded the "reboot" app from the market place...

take the cover off, opposite side of the vol. buttons.
Holding down the volume? That doesn't do anything on my Tilt2.
I usually use the HD Soft Reset applet that installs along with HD Tweak (placed it in the TouchFlo Programs tab for quick access). Or else I just hold the power button to shutdown, then power up again. The latter "usually" works when other things on the phone are locking up. But occasionally the phone will be completely frozen, and I need to resort to the stylus button inside the battery cover.
Vol Down? this accesses the boot loader not Hard Reset!
in anycase you don't need the stylus my friend.
Hard Reset : Switch Off the phone, hold call + endcall and power button.
Boot Loader : Switch off the phone, Hold Vol Down + power button.
cheers
^ What he said. I just hard reset the other day using this method, worked like a charm
Any way to reset the phone when it's locked up without taking the cover off?

Can't get into download mode

I've tried what the "[GUIDE] Rooting the Samsung Captivate Glide i927/i927r" page said, ie:
Turn off the phone
Press volume UP and keeping the button pressed, press the power button
a screen should ask you if you wanna continue - press volume up to confirm
but it won't start up in download mode. Any thoughts?

When you press Volume Up what does it do? Just reboot? once you press Volume Up you should be in D/L mode without doing anything else.
When I hold down the volume up key it doesn't do anything.
Turn phone off
Take battery out
Wait 2 minutes
Put battery in
Press volume up
Press power and hold both until the download confirmation screen comes up.
Thanks rovar, I've got it working now.

Getting into recovery Mode no power button (resolved. Answer inside)

Hello,
I want to upgrade my unit from Android 6 to 8 but I have never been able to get into recovery mode with the buttons on my unit. I do have a reset, and I do have physical buttons, but I can hold the reset button and the lights never flash. I also dont have a power button, instead the knob, which I push it down is a mute mode. ive tried using the method between the reset key and mute knob with no success, I've also tried holding the reset key for 15 sec, 30 sec, 1 min. The lights never flash.
I tried the keyboard method, but it doesnt appear my keyboard is responsive until android begins to boot, the numlock key doesnt respond.
The keys on my unit are as follows:
Navi, Band, Menu, Mode, Knob for Volume, that knob pushes down to mute. The other side I have eject, track forward, track reverse, play/pause and a knob for tuning the radio/dimming lights.
Can I modify the mcu to change what the buttons do? Please help!
halp!
no one?
YES!!! I figured it out!!
I went into key study, changed the push button for the left volume knob from mute to power button. Then its just normal procedure. Hold down the new power button until it turns off. push it again for it to turn on and hold it down to go into recovery.
Hopefully this helps someone in the future
