I haven't had to try it yet on the S620, but most HTC devices will hard reset by:
1. Press and hold soft1 and soft2 keys.
2. Press and hold power button for around 1 to 1.5 seconds. Release power button. Keep hold soft1 and soft2 keys.
3. Later, screen should show instructions to ask user to press '0' key to reset to factory default.
4. Press '0' within the timeout period, which is only several seconds only.
5. If no instruction is shown on the screen, repeat steps 1 to 4.
The timing is sensitive.
Let us know if it still is that way with the S620/Dash. I would be surprised if it wasn't. It is set-up that way on the 3125/Qtek 8500/smartflip as I just did it yesterday.

I need to send my phone in for repair but want to factory reset it first.
LCD cracked after a drop so I can't see ANYTHING on the screen, this is what is happening when I try reset:
1. Remove & replace battery
2. Hold volume down, then press Power whilst holding
3. Four seconds later release volume down
4. Press volume down
5. Press power button (Phone then vibrates briefly)
6. Press Volume Up
7. Wait for reboot....
Problem is that the phone doesn't seem to reboot no matter how long I wait (I never hear the start-up sound/no buttons become active.)!
I have WaveSecure installed, so I did a remote Backup to check if the phone had been reset but it hadn't, I still had data on there!! I have no performed a Remote Wipe with WaveSecure but I don't know if it deletes things like Saved Passwords from the browser!
I'm running the stock HTC 2.1.
Any help is appreciated, I really need to get the hard reset working!
Thanks!
Got it working
Not sure what I did but I kept trying it over and over and when I booted the phone and tried phoning it I realised the ringtone was back to default, so I did eventually get the hard reset working!
I have a t mobile hac touch pro 2 and i em stuck on the part that says (On first boot, hold Volume Up when prompted to get into recovery. Once the Android logo shows, press the Power Button to bring up the menu, use Volume Up/Down to select the option (Install System), then use the End Call button to select.) did the steps then nuting happins just keep on starting up over and over agen please someone help me out
So I was watching a show on my tablet. and then the tablet just froze. I tried to reboot it. and the screen just stays stuck at the Samsung Load screen. I have Team Win Recovery installed on it. So I used the commands to get into it. and see if I could reboot and reset through there. But when I go to reboot it tells me my System has no OS do I still want to reboot, reset or whatever I try to do.
My PC isn't recognizing my device. So I can open it up at all. I did not have a SD card in my Tablet. but I do have one in my phone and it does fit into my Note III so I believe it should/would work for any steps I may need to do to help fix this problem. Any ideas or suggestions on how to deal with this?
I've seen this before...
...THIS MAY OR MAY NOT work (CAPS for emphasis only).
The way we solve that because the symptoms you are describing are often the result of a corrupted cache that effects that startup of processes in the background. Clearing the cache might help if the following doesn't work, but don't clear it first because going through this process sometimes requires that whatever data is in the cache remain undisturbed...
(Remember, Android is just a portable version of Linux).
Part 1 of 2 - Enter Safe Mode (ignore all other directions except for using the hardware keys to enter safe mode)
Safe mode
Turn on and use safe mode
Safe mode allows you to turn on the device with third-party apps disabled. Then you can easily remove all apps that may be causing a conflict or software problem.
To turn on safe mode and use it to fix app problems, follow these steps:
Turn on safe mode
Turn the device off.
Press and hold the Power key.
When 'GALAXY Note 3' appears on the screen, release the Power key. Immediately after releasing the Power key, press and hold the Volume down key.
Continue to hold the Volume down key until the device finishes restarting.
'Safe mode' will display in the bottom left corner of the screen. Release the Volume down key when you see 'Safe Mode.'
Uninstall third party applications
Turn on Safe Mode.
From any Home screen, tap the Menu key.
Tap Settings.
Tap the General tab.
Tap Application manager.
If necessary, swipe right to the Downloaded screen.
Tap the desired application.
Tap Uninstall and then tap OK.
Turn off safe mode
To turn off safe mode, follow these steps:
Press and hold the Power key.
Tap Restart.
The same steps are located on the following URL for entering Safe Mode:
https://support.t-mobile.com/docs/DOC-9049
Part 2 of 2 :
If you were successful in engaging Safe Mode, it is more than likely you will see an option screen come up that lists "TouchWiz" , KNOX (Possibly, and varies depending on your config and KNOW Counter Status {i.e. "0x0" or "0x1}, and TouchWiz Simple.
Please pick TouchWiz and DO NOT pick TouchWiz Simple.
Your Note 3 should then start without incident; however we would recommend you backup your data and reload your device with fresh installs as soon as possible.
Hope this helps.
The Tablet wont even boot up into Safe Mode. the Tablet doesnt boot at all. It just stays stuck at Samsung Galaxy Tab 3 screen.
I can use the hard keys to enter into Odin Mode and Team Win Recovery thats it.
Thanks for clarifying. Different steps will be required then. Be careful, and read the other two links carefully that are listed in order of importance to get your Note 3 back up and running:
[Step 1]
Hardware reset using Hardware Buttons ( You WILL LOSE ALL OF YOUR DATA {CAPS for emphasis only} )
Master reset with hardware keys
A master reset restores the original factory settings and may delete your personal data on the internal storage, such as downloaded content, ringtones, images, apps, and contacts. It does not delete data stored on the SIM card or SD card.
If the device menus are frozen or unresponsive, you can master reset using hardware keys. To perform a master reset, follow these steps:
Back up all data on the internal memory.
Turn off the device.
Press and hold the following three buttons at the same time:
Volume Up key
Home key
Power key.
When 'GALAXY Note 3' appears on the screen, release the Power key but continue to press and hold the Volume Up key and the Home key.
When the Android System Recovery screen appears, release the Volume Up and Home keys.
Press the Volume down key to highlight 'wipe data / factory reset.'
Press Power button to select.
Press the Volume down key to highlight 'delete all user data.'
Press Power button to select and start the master reset. When the master reset is complete, 'Reboot system now' is highlighted.
Press the Power key to turn the restart the device.
Directions also featured on the following URL: https://support.t-mobile.com/docs/DOC-9049
[Step 2]
Forget about ODIN and you can use Heimdall with the build of your choice provided it is supported by the BootLoader (i.e. KitKat BootLoader will not load JellyBean).
The instructions are in the following URL as are links to the appropriate software:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2545009
IMPORTANT NOTE: DO NOT WASTE YOUR TIME WITH A USB3 Cable. Instead use a USB2 cable because USB3 connections via the Note 3 have been known to not be the most stable, and you will receive much more reliable connectivity using USB2 that is essential to the reload process.
Hope this all helps, and please let us know how successful you were.

Have you tied holding Power key and the Volume down key simultaneously for more than 7 seconds? It should make a restart or power off. When phone restarts try pressing HOME + VOLUME DOWN + POWER you should boot to download mode, then try flashing latest firmware with Odin or use Smart Switch. IF you can't get to dl mode I don't know any other way to fix the phone
thy mk)
i tried Volume down key simultaneously for more than 7 second then the red message dissapears for some seconds and comes back
in that download screen i can go btw it is not rooted or smth just original phone
