Hi I just got my xda 2 and was wondering how to do a hard reset ? Can anyone advise me? Thank you
It's in the instruction book. Have you read it?
Hold down the on/off switch and press the stylus into the small hole at the bottom.
If you've only just got it, there shouldn't be any need for a hard reset.
My New Compact 2 has suddenly developed a speaker fault, cannot hear any callers, but they can hear me, hopefully a hard reset will resolve but how? t mobile say hold power and press reset but this doesn't work.
Please Help i am at my wits end :x

it scares me that tmob still dont know how to hard reset the kit they are supplying
to hard reset, push and hold in both the camera and record buttons, while doing that, press reset and release BUT continue to hold the two buttons for a further 5 seconds and the screen will pop up a message saying "to format press send, to cancel press any other button"
obviously press send and itll start the format (reset) process
it goes without saying, but back up all your conatcts and data first as it will wipe it completely

I have the European version TP2 but i believe yours, unlike mine, as a 3.5mm jack for the headphones doesnt it? Take your stylus and carefully put it in the 3.5mm headphone socket and broddle it around carfully a few times and see if it goes off. Ive had this fault when i had an Xperia X1i which was made by HTC for Sony Ericsson. There is a small switch inside the socket and it becomes stuck with muck and dust.
Let us know if it works.
Insert headphone in and out a couple times
Thanks it worked. Glad to see it's helpful people around and respond fast. Tahnks againm
Hi everyone,
Here's my problem :
Since some few days, my Captivate won't start up, and won't connect anymore.
The screen stays black!
I tried usually things : removing battery,sim,microsd, then pressing vol up, down and power, connecting with ODIN3.. Nothing happends.
It was bricked after a custom ROM update. I did format data, cache and .. system ! As usually, because I tought formatting system was necessary. Maybe it was the wrong thing that made it crashes..
So, I thank you a lot for bringing me any help !!

could you give pls a little detail. as to what custom rom did you flashed, is it the froyo rom or ginger rom? and elaborate further on what did you do when this happens it might give other people here some more understanding on how to help you. If your your phone won't power at all and the soft bottons won't light up and won't respond with key combos or even a jig you likely had a perma brick as in hard brick.!!......If you are still on warranty no worries just tell them that your phone suddenly dies and that you have no clue what happens to it.
You can also try this if you like read the thread: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1020976&page=3
Thanks for your answer!
I flash many of my phones, so, unfortunately, I can't remember what kind of ROM it was! I also try many of those I can find on XDA.
Here's what happens :
Had formatted data,cache, and system. Then, flashed the ROM, and selected "reboot". Just after that, I was making coffee.. So, I came back 5 min after, and the phone was .. dead!
After many, many, many Captivate's ROM flashes (maybe 70 !?), first time it happends!
The phone is no more under warranty, so I can't do anything..
Btw, what is a "jig" ? Heard alot that word but..
And thanks for the thread, but I don't think there's a solution in it!?
I will browse it tomorrow, thanks
Thanks again for help!
JIG youtube video

Here ya go....http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Rdn5GoRjhn0
The jig is usually the last resort for some. That is if holding volume up and volume down then plugging in the usb cable into your phone ( the other end being already plugged into your computer) does not put it into download mode.

U can either buy a jig from someone like mobiletechvideos on YouTube or make one urself using resistors (tutorials are scattered around the forum). U plug it into ur micro USB slot and it will put ur phone onto download mode. This works if ur phone is soft bricked and it may not work for u but definitely worth a try

Sounds like you flashed a single bootloader and hard bricked your phone. Either jtag it or buy a new one...
JIG2WIN4LIFE if you can still turn on your phone without a perma black screen anyways
Hi,
I took a look over "JIG" on eBay, and found it for approx. 8 $.
But it says it can be used for ALL cases, at the exception if the screen stays black ! And that's my case..
So, do I have to buy it anyway, or is it really dead?
I don't want to buy another one!
Thank you.
sometimes the jig works, if you take out battery, DO NOT TOUCH ANY BUTTONS, put in jig. worked for me.
BUT your phone is under 1 year old. it has a warranty. if it happens to get broken in a way that they cant tell, and can never read the phone again... you get a [email protected]!!!
think speaker magnet or
2 seconds in the microwave 1 or 2 times MAX.. dont want phisical dammage! and there is plenty of electronic parts to get messed up very easy this way

Wow, nuking it will cover your tracks if they try to access anything on it?
if it is electrically damaged and wont work, they cant access it, and they cant see your tracks...
and my buddy nuked a phone before, to destroy it for fun, there were sparks immediatly. if that happens the phone aint going to work anymore. so do it in very short bursts. you do not want any physical damage.
or wave it in-front of a LARGE magnet to degause it until it doesnt boot anymore.
Hi,
Thanks for your reply, but my phone is no more under warranty..
There was no warranty when I bought it from USA (on eBay), and I'm living in Belgium! So, no way
I will have to try the JIG then.. I suppose it's my last chance
yup jig is your last chance..
now the other day i bricked and the jig wouldnt work either unitl I found a trick that helped my jig work. this worked FOR ME in my situation. not all.
remove battery count to 5 and replace battery
DO NOT TOUCH ANY BUTTONS
put in jig. download mode!!!!
if i touched ANY button the jig would not work. worth a shot.
jigs are about 8$ on ebay or can be made with a few resistors for a couple dollars. (or whatever currency you have in Belgium). there are many threads on how to make them in the captivate forums on xda here. just make sure not to touch the resistors with your fingers if you make one. use tape to hold it.!! good luck buddy!
Thanks a lot!
I will buy a JIG on eBay then.. It would be safer!
We are using Euro currency in Belgium . So, a JIG is approximately 6 €.
It's a cheap price for this kind of tool! But by the way, HTC has much more solutions to unbrick their devices..
Hi Guys.
I have a problem with my Audio Connector.
When i plug in the cable it instantly falls out again and if i hold it there is only music on my right speaker.
I thought about replacing it: I found something here: http://stellatech.com/lg-p920-optimus-3d-audio-connector-kopfhörer-anschluss,a,de,813541.html
Does someone know how to replace it safely or how the repair it without replacing it?
Would be nice if someone has an answer for me

Jack is not hardwired to the logic board. It's just a ribbon.
It's extremely easy if you don't lose the screws.
Remove the screws from the back and unplug the clips holding it in place. Then you need to remove the sim board , then the logic board...
The headphone jack is held in place by a double sided tape.
Remove the old one , plug in the new one and close up.

WAIT THAT'S NOT NECESSARY!!
I've had this problem too, it's because the Optimus 3D's Audio Jack isn't protected from dust !
Get a toothpick and carefully take the dust out like 3-8 times or so, you have to go DEEEPAAHHH (wtf)
and at the bottom, press the toothpick against the wall and drag the **** upwards! get it to the choppah!!

Well that's how you do it, I should probably leave the computer now lol
