Hey guys,
When i get my new phones, i like to start off with a factory reset before setting it up. call me weird or what-ever but that is what i like to do.
I've tried searching, but i get factory reset instructions from a rooted phone.
is the factory reset the same as the NS?
I don't know if it is any different in ICS........
can some one give me a quick break down???
i know i know i know..... ***flame suite on****
settings > backup & reset > factory data reset
thanks for the reply!
what about factory reset from the boot screen?
You can hold down both the volume up and down keys and the power button to boot into the bootloader.
Cycle to recovery using the volume rocker and use the power button to select.
I believe you can then wipe data from recovery but I haven't tried it on the GN.
Maybe someone else can confirm.

That's a good one! I always wonder whether the members of HTC development team are aliens..
Second that! I never (not yet?) succeeded to make a hard reset. You guess that till now I haven't made a hard reset after flashing a ROM, just backup with Sprite. Conclude that it is not necessary.
HTH.
the answer is yes or no

Are you sure or just think so?
With the Kaiser you needed to do an extra hartreset after a flash, but with most other you don't need to do that.
Because flashing a ROM normally flashes everything (except for your internal storage) so no need to do an extra hard reset.
I don't know what's the case with the Diamond...
i just want to know do u need to flush after every upgrade or no
i just want to know do u need to flush after every upgrade or no????
Remember that after you flash a rom, system performs a SOFT Reset and NOT a Hard Reset. So always its better to do a hard reset after every flash, to fully clear the memory from those hidden or system files from the previous installation.

Well the only thing i could advice is a factory reset and if that doesn't help go back to the store
Edit : buttons don't work CRAP !
Edit : hold the power button down untill it restarts.....but I assume you already did this

how long should it stay when i do a factory reset.. because i selected it and the screen is locked on the htc logo for ages now :|
That's to long . I think its a warranty case
Any chance that your battery level is too low ?
RMA
Looks llike a hardware problem.Go to the service center and get it repaired
Just selsct "Hboot" with volume keys & Press Power key on "hboot"
then you are on previous screen of hboot menu located 1. Fastboot 2. Recovery, 3. Factory Reset etc etc Selst 3 option by Volume keys & press power key. It will reset your phone to factory defaults ( you will loss all our Data).
Please do on your own Responsibilty, I am not responsible for any damage.
Press THANKS button if you like.

Do you have ClockworkMod installed or is it the Default Recovery?
If its clockwork, then read on...
1. Power+Volume Down
2. Wait about a minute for HBOOT to do its thing.
3. Key DOWN. Press POWER
4. Wait a few secs
5. Volume Down x2 then POWER
6. Then Volume Down x7 then finally Power.
That is a factory Reset.

You can also perform a factory reset straight from hboot, just boot your phone to bootloader ( pull out battery, insert it back in, hold vol down and press power button ). Now when you are ( hopefully ) in bootloader, all you have to do is wait 30 sec ( it will check sdcard for possible files to flash ), and then press volume down 3 times, then just hit power button. It should reboot once to standard recovery ( to perform a wipe ) and once again to system, you should be able to hear startup sound if everything went OK.
Thanks, I gave it a go. No way to be sure really so I'll just cross my fingers!

The main option is to a factory reset
Turn phone off
Press volume down & whilst holding it down also hold power button
Use volume keys to scroll to recovery & power button to select
When the android logo appears hold power button then with it held press volume up
At the recovery menu press volume down until you reach wipe data/factory reset
Press power button to select
Use volume down & power button again to confirm
All data will be wiped and your phone will restart
Thanks
