Can not hard reset my device.
Guys, I've tried both methods,
Turn phone off, press left key, right key and power button, all at the same time..
and also have tried
Turn the phone off, press left and right key and using stylus to press reset button..
Tried both so many times, but just can not hard reset my device. Any ideas where I may be going wrong?

Hard Reset
Yes, i have same problem,i can t make hard reset.If i try i have only white dispay with blue sign .....pres R on keyboard for reset or press X for cancel....But i don t see any keyboard and if i try press any button nothing happen.For way go out from this situation i take out battery.Later i put back this battery turn onn and everythink return to normal. Out of reset.

I have the same problem. After two hard resets I can't hard reset. Problem is the phone restarts after entering PIN. I even tried an othen SIM card or no card at all but nothing happened. When I try to hard reset with the stylus it does absolutely nothing. If I try with the power button it doesn't hard reset, it starts normally. Any suggestions? Please help me, I've got the phone for just about 30 hours.

That's entirely right. If at the point that you get the display making you choose between reset or cancel, slide out your keyboard and press the given keys Should work just fine, have done it myself several times.

Hard reset
Thank you,perfect work.

- left&right + stylus in back
Ive never got a hard reset, what am i doing wrong?

I just use the Clear Storage option in settings! Am I missing something?!

Both methods dont work..... TRY THIS ONE

dude thank a lot, i was getting upset, mad and scared, dunno why it got stuck at the green windows mobile screen, not going further.
that was hard to perform lol, hard-reset the "hard way" al by myself.

I have also experienced problems hard resetting the device and have resorted to Start>Settings>Clear Storage and it seems to have the same effect, no?

thanks, this works!

yeah.. clear storage is the same right??? hardreset ya?

can someone take a video on this 'hardreset'
i think this could be very helpful
thanks.

just hard reset my xperia after trying so many times like the others out there.
just wanna add additional info, you have to keep on pressing and holding the 3 keys (2 front keys and the reset button) until you get the blue screen.
if you press then simultaneously for just a few sec w/o waiting for the blue screen, you'll just soft reset your unit.

Hard Reset on HD

Hello
Does anyone know how to do a Hard Reset on HD?
Regards

Hold both volume buttons and press and release the power button I think!

Hi, most HTC using this step
press and hold : 1 Call-key , hangup-key, and power-key
2 then then click yes need hold power
3 black screen, press power again will as for hard reset
hope that help

Oh and phone has to be off to.

page 278 in the manual
To perform a hard reset
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:
This operation will delete all your personal data, and reset all settings to the manufacturer default settings. Press VolUp to restore manufacturer defaults, or press other keys to cancel.
3. Release the VOLUME UP and VOLUME DOWN buttons.
4. Press the VOLUME UP button to perform the hard reset, or press any other button to cancel the reset.

Ladies and Gents,
Now that I have been playing with mine for the best part of 24hrs :-D I can confirm that the best way to do a hard reset is to not bother with the holding down of the volume keys and quickly hitting the on / off button - this didn't work for me ONCE!!
It is however possible if you select the CLEAR STORAGE option in the settings menu and key in 1234.
Works perfectly.
Good luck, and enjoy your HD

Hi,
I need to wipe my HD - it's going back and I'm getting a replacement (original has dead pixels).
Does the Clear Storage actually clear everything like a hard reset?
Also - does this wipe the SD card?

hard reset will not wipe your storage card. It will however wipe your device storage.

Clear storage will do exactly the same thing as a hard reset. It sends your device back to the time it came out of the box for the 1st time.
It leaves your mem card alone.

Cool - thanks for the prompt replies!
I suppose another solution would be to remove the SD card before wiping!
Hope the replacement is ok -then I can start putting my apps back!

Here a Youtube Video how it works:

Thanks Mate I have just tried it and It works perfectly. Although you have to be slight quick because the actual volume button are on the cover. You know what I mean.
EDIT: You can just turn off the phone press the volup and voldown button and press the power button it will go for hard reset. No need for opening back cover.

Thanks!!!!very useful......

It's work.

thanks for hard reset

so, if clear storage is the same as hard reset, why do people still bother with the hard way of hard reset?

Clear Storage requies Windows Mobile to be running.
Hard reset provides the same function at a hardware level - i.e. you don't need Windows running...

If your phone does not reboot even after a hard reset I would try flashing a different rom. Would start by restoring stock rom first then using Dummies Guide top flash custom rom

Tried now but nothing happends

OK, can you make sure that you have got the external battery charger connected and switched on just in case you have a battery problem. Then try switching on or doing a reset (if it doesn't boot but there appears to be power). Just a thought.

how this was happening for you?

Try taking the battery out and then popping it back in before switching it on again. This is a known issue that occurs from time to time. There is no need to perform a hard reset as advised above.

Tried this serveral times but no luck..

Could maybe be a battery charger/battery or phone short (amnongst other things). I think it might be a return to supplier or HTC job. A backup battery charger/spare battery might help or it might waste time. Sorry.

by the way-
as i remember( i didn.n use blkstone for ages);
to enter bootloader on blkstone- just hold down volume btn and press and hold a bit power btn
- so "mariansony" u r absolutly RIGHT,
Ur problem "mariansony" might be.... take a look at the volume buttons under back batt cover.
you will see :
A\both- up and down btns are coated in black,
B\ one or both are well used,so you can see metal contacts....
if A applies -try HR than again
if B applies- u must press down button with no back cover on , use more pressure ,ideally with help of som metal stick (come on,bend fork's "middle finger" )
hope this will get u to btldr
