hardreset without a stylus

im trying to hardreset my p4350, but nothing is working.
i tried with an earring and i can't really feel the reset button in the hole on the bottom.... i can't get it to hardreset.. i hold down the two softbuttons which i finally figured out are the lines not the red and green and not ok/windows... anyway... i hold htem down, press the reset hole, then nothing.
do you do this with windows trying (and failing) to boot, or with the power off? i've tried it both ways with no sucess =(

so you also cannot softreset????
try a hardreset by "start - settings - delete storage (or so)" i guess.
but i cannot belive that you even cannot softreset. and when you can softreset - you should be able to hardreset

holdin the softkeys for 5 sec and once pressing the reset button should do the trick.
but when nothing happens.....

simply throw off the battery for 10 secs, then put it again, press power button shortly and press softkeys and hold it. it will help you without reset!

The hole in the "bottom" ie. next to the charging / sync port is your microphone - please do NOT go poking around in there, or you will wind up with a non-working phone.
The reset button on a Wing is on the left side, directly below the volume slider. A paper clip or ball point pen should work, if you don't have a stylus.
Good luck!

Were you able to get it to reset by using the correct button? If so, does your microphone still work - have you tried placing a call to see if the other person can hear you?
Good luck!

How To Perform A Hard Reset On X1

Hi folks.
There are two ways to hard reset the X1.
First way - Start>Settings>System>Clear Storage then enter the number 1234 and press Yes.
Second way - Press and hold the two silver keys (left and right) situated just below the screen. Now insert the stylus pen into the tiny hole which is situated around the bottom right of the back of the device for 5 seconds. Follow the on screen instructions.
It is advisable to back up your data before performing a hard reset.
FYI - a soft reset can be performed by ONLY inserting the stylus pen into the tiny hole for 5 seconds.

Thankyou mate, been looking for the tiny hole without success
Thought it was missing.

Very nice! Thanks for the info.
For those who can't find the tiny hole, you have to remove the battery cover.

Sorry forgot to mention that you have to remove the battery cover. Also the hole is situated where the stylus pen sits. So you have to remove the stylus pen in order to use the hole.
Thanks tjex for pointing it out.

Do you have to have a full battery before performing a hard reset?

No. Hardreset takes 5 seconds. But don't have your battery almost totally drained

You follow the the line where the stylus is inserted. Form bottom to top, you will encounter a rectangle, then the MicroSD slot, another rectangle and finally a round hole. This is it.

SOLVED:
in seconds
Power off you X1.
Hold down the two "Soft" keys and turn power back on to your X1..
Release the two key....
You should see the white screen with blue text asking if you want to restore to the "factory" default setting....Press "r"

Phew...
Needed the second option, as loaded some software on and it conflicted with some other that was on there - oh well bit of a spring clean as well!
Also might be worth pointing out that you need to enter the commands using the keyboard for the second option - me being a plank was hitting the X-panel button for ages before I realised what it was asking!!!

Well, there would be much less confusion if you said that you have to take battery lid out

How someone can not know about the reset hole is beyond me. I noticed in shop, before I actually bought the device.

It was mentioned on the 2nd or 3rd post

There's the hole location.

thanks alot

Nice. thanhk Bro

You can also hard reset using Power button instead of reset button under( :-/ ) the battery cover.
Just turn off your phone, and press and hold both softkeys (silver ones) and just press the power button (do not hold it)
Strangely, when you want to access bootloader you hold the power button with volume down button until the bootloader appears.

Sorry, but I hardresetted it but nothing happens after the SE logo came and went away. I only got a black screen, someone help me please.
EDIT: Nevermind, got it. Had to wait some minutes

any other option to do it? i try both way, but can't... pls help...

I think you have to let go of either the power button or the hole button (depending on which method you're trying) before you let go of the two face buttons.

Thanks to every bodies. I have practised the soft and hard resets. The tiny hole is really not tiny but was hard to find.
Once again thanks!

Tweak / mod the Power button

Hi!
Is it just me or is the power button real tough to press?
Has anyone thought of adding a small mod to raise this button to make it easier to press?
Any luck?
Thanks!

The left hand side of mine (as you look at the screen) is slightly raised.
Isn't yours ?

Yup, it's raised but just a little; i don't think I'm "fat thumbed" but it's really difficult to press while using just one hand.

I agree but it's not as bad as I found the Tytn II.
I've now got used to aiming at the left hand side of the HD button which is raised higher.
Of course, I often just use the stylus pull to switch on as well.
On the Tytn II I superglued a slice of cable insulation to the button. This worked fine. I used a small black cable and cut the insulation longways to the right size. It needed steady hands but was a good solution.

one good thing in other pda's is that in the settings menu was that keylock applet, in which you could have all the keys unlocked, so you can power on the device only by pressing the front keys, and not bother with the power button.
But i can not see this applet in the rom i have 1.14
Does anyone know how we can have this keylock applet again?

While it can sometimes be a bit of a pain to press I'm glad that it doesn't accidentally get pressed whilst in my pocket, I often don't bother locking it so I'd be pressing stuff all over the place.

Yes, i'm also seriously contemplating that solution
I'm just afraid that the button might get damaged because of the super glue... things might get messy

Well it worked so well on the Tytn II that I never took it off so I can't judge !!

Hard to Press the Power Button !!

Hi All, I have owned a lot of HTC phones and now I have the HD, its the first time I see HTC phone with such small, thin, and hard to press power button !!
especially in the dark, I cant press it and wake up my phone easily !!
I MANAGED TO TWEAK MY HD and now I wake up my device pressing the volume button, but again I have new problem : sometimes when I carry my phone the volume get pressed by mistake and the ringer get muted or low and I miss some calls !!!
Any solution for this problem so I can wake up my phone from the standby without pressing the microscopic power button !!

Take out the stylus and insert it back again. That wakes up the device. Otherwise you might want to search for a G-sensor enabled "wake-up" application. "Shake_it_to_wake" so to speak...

How can you use it to wake up the device? I don't see that option in the description, except the default stylus in and out...

...
I guess S2U won´t help you with waking up your device but if you use volume buttons it will protect you from accidental muting your phone.

I found power hard to press, too, but then I looked closely: This power 'button' is indeed non-symmetrical - at least on *my* device: it stands up a bit on one side, the left side, which is closer to the middle of the HD. So I press it *there*, because obviously enough that's the place where the sensor is located. It works easy every time.

Can you tell me how?

Ducasito. Good observation. I wondered why sometime it was easy and sometimes hard. So the slight non-symmetrical button is not a manufacturing fault but a very subtle design feature. Now I know which side to hit. Thanks

Seems all HD's are different OR I have a very heavy finger.
All I need to do to get it to wake it lightly touch the power button and it comes on.

I suppose it is just a matter of "where" you push the button. Just push it on the left edge (where the small led is placed) and you will not need that much pressure to switch the device on or off. The button sensor is actually under that left edge. the picture shows the powerbutton part (picture taken from the HTC Touch HD service manual). Under the left edge of it is the sensor, so putting the pressure there is the best way of pressing the button

(my fingers are too big for the Power button)
many thanks, Michael

You can use AE button plus. I use this to convert my volum buttons to up and down buttons on single click, select/ok on double click, and volume on hold and press.

Thanks for your answer but I´ve a further question:
Do you "wake up" (from standby) the blackstone by using this AE button? I tried to use this software but I couldn`t wake up the Touch HD from standby by using the volume buttons.

Have you reset it by taking the battery out or pressing the little red button under the battery cover?

Ok, the red button on mine is next to the SD card slot.
I'm guessing you've taken the battery out if you've said theres no button under the battery?
