Hey people, Just started setting up my HTC HD2 when i came to the last page of the setup and pressed "finish" the device locked up and crashed :-(
Then when i put the phone back on none of the settings i had set worked and the setup option was no longer there it just went straight through to the UI.
What do i do to pretend it never happened as if im starting again?
Hard reset:
Hold "volume up + volume down and press soft reset button" (all together)
Soft reset button is under battery cover
With the HD2 switched off, press Volume down + Volume up and then briefly press send end key. The bootloader should appear.
To perform a clear storage.
1. On the Home screen, slide to the Settings tab and then tap Security > Factory reset.
2. Enter “1234” and then tap Yes.
so which method is right? lol
both, one is via GUI (windows screen) the other is manual/mechanical way

How do i hard reset a Prophet?

hold camera and connection button (on the left of the device) keep pressed and then hit the soft reset button at the bottom of the device. keep the 2 side buttons pressed until a message pops up asking if you want to hard reset. press green call button to accept.
Alternative method: Go to :arrow: Setting > System > Clear Storage . I t will tell you to enter '1234' and then press 'YES'. It will hard reset you PDA.

Thats the correct answer, according to dioxda2 the 'clear storage' option does not do a hard reset and now that I tried, I know he is right.
Hi,
For the people who have received their HD (mine is on preorder at the mo.), how are you finding the reliability of the phone. My Hemres and Kaiser left a lot to be desired needing a soft reset every day or so to keep them working properly.
Strange things start to happen to them after a few days, for example notifications for email and incoming calls would stop working, the clock on the today screen would stop displaying all the digits. Oh yeah, same thing happened after a hard reset and different firmware versions.
Thanks,
Mike.
I have the HTC Touch HD a few day's now and i only need it to soft reset because Windows Live (Messenger) was f*cking around and could not stop it.
I'm sure this would relate to what ROM you're using. The stock ones have always been problematic. But build the right custom one and you should only need a restart once a month or less.
no need of reboots after many days of trials. The red button is the only one i didn't try yet!
Do you guys know how to hard-reset this device manually...I mean using the buttons..?
Hard-Reset using Windows OS option I know...but how to hard-reset this device manually?
Nara: There's a button next to the MicroSD slot for resetting, I guess that'll do.
According to HTC's site the following procedure is also for full reset:
Code:
How do I 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:
Warning! Your device will be set back to factory default settings. Please ensure any additional installed programs and/or user data have been backed up before a hard reset is performed.
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.
On Topic, I've had mine since last monday, and haven't had to soft or hard reset it even once.
Only soft reset I had to do was on purpouse to apply some tweaks.
it is not noticeable if one leaves windows xp/vista on for a a day+ that it becomes sluggish? well, windows in general need to be reset once a day to work properly ie..win xp/vista, so the same routine is especially applicable to windows mobile.
Blackstone SIM card?
Does it take a SIM card. Obviously I live in the US & have AT&T. I can't find any information anywhere that says it does or doesn't take one. & do I want the VAT? Don't know what that is but it definitely costs more money.

Hi!
My only problem is the screen with the clock, has changed and now has a silhouette of the woman you would use for a blank contact, and the clock has changed to a small clock with thin numbers.
Changing things in settings, today, doe not help.
I will do a soft reset in a few minutes.

Hard Reset
Hard Reset will do the trick. Hold both volume up and volume down buttons while turning on the device. After this, just follow instructions on the screen. In less than a minute, your device is set on factory settings. On the other hand, he will lose all data on his device memory (not on SD card)
Has he tried doing a hard reset?
1. Turn the phone off
2. Hold down the up and down volume keys at the same time
3. Press end call to power on the phone
4. Let go of the end call button
5. Press up volume to reset the phone
6. Press up volume again to restart the phone
A hardreset as described in the owners manual does not work ! Has anybody got an idea what to do ?
The reason why I want to make a HR is the following : after 2 weeks it happened, that sending an sms an error-msg pops up saying the "addressee is not known, sending anyway ?" This drives me crazy ! And I hope that a HR will solve this!
1. With the phone turned off, press and hold the VOLUME UP and VOLUME
DOWN buttons, then press the END/POWER button shortly and release it. You
will then see this message on the screen.
This operation will delete all your personal data,and reset all settings to manufacturer
default.
Press Volume Up to restore manufacturer default, or press other keys to cancel.
2. Release the VOLUME UP and VOLUME DOWN buttons.
3. Press the VOLUME UP button to perform the hard reset, or press any other
button to cancel the reset.
