I'm doing what it said in the manual:
Hold vol down and enter, press reset. release reset while still holding vol down and enter.
No dice.
Anyone done it?
I had the same issue (don't have the handset now - long story) but I ended up using the Settings, Clear Storage option.
Easier way: Settings, Clear Storage, 1234.
I had trouble doing a hard reset at first. The manual states
Hold VolDown & Enter
Press Reset
Release VolDown & Enter when a message appears
Then press VolUp
The critical omission in the manual is that they mean the round button when it says "Enter".
The button is referred to as "Enter" everywhere in the user guide but is not called that on the diagram on 25 of the user guide.

I had an issue with TomTom and had to do a factory reset on the device. I just thought I'd post the instructions for those who might need to perform this actions.
With the device turned off, press and hold the TALK/SEND, END and POWER buttons until you see a message on the screen. Release the TALK/SEND, END and POWER buttons. Press the VOLUME UP button to perform the hard reset, or press any other button to cancel the reset. Once the restore screen appears press Volume Up to restore the device to its factory settings or any other button to cancel. Once complete press Volume Up to reboot.

You could also go into the memory settings and tap on the "clear storage" tab then make sure the top option says "factory default" then type 1234 on the bottom, then tap ok, and it will do the exact same thing. This obviously will work only if your tp2 is responsive and not frozen.
I had an issue where my phone WOULD NOT (attempted MANY times) hard reset. (I had installed the "Slide2ShutdownPowerKeySetup_v1.1" and I suspect this may have been the issue -- although I certainly do not have proof of that.)
Here is the HARD RESET procedure that finally worked:
"Push and hold 'send' and 'end' key. Using your teeth, push and hold the 'reset' button with the stylus. Finally, push the power button. (all three need to be pressed down when you hit the power). The tri-color screen flashes, then a white screen gives the standard warning of the hard reset."

Hi,
I turned off my phone yesterday and then when I tried to turn it on again it got stuck at the white screen that appears at first - it shows the HTC logo and the information about the software in red letters. I waited for a few minutes but nothing happened, then I reset it from the button under the back cover and still the same thing happened - it stuck at the same point. Any ideas how to fix it? Thanks so much in advance!
Sounds strange, i would try to do a hard reset, but you´ll lose all your data on the device if you do this!
Any other ideas?

To hard reset your phone which means to delete ALL personal data and settings and have the phone in factory default conditions as if you turned on the phone for the first time after purchasing, press the following buttons:
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.
You can also use Clear Storage to reset your device back to factory default settings.
1. On the Home screen, slide to the Settings tab and then tap All Settings.
2. On the System tab, tap Clear Storage.
3. Enter “1234” and then tap Yes.
If you have HSPL applied, you could be able to use MTTY method and upload new ROM.
Mtty tool recovery is nothing to mess with, it is a last resort. If you don't know what you are doing, you can easily kill your phone.
Do a hard reset, if that doesn't work, ( I anm assuming that since this is your first post, you do not have a custom rom ) find a copy of your rom and re flash it. But try severral hart resets first.
Thanks to all of you guys. The hard reset did the trick. I had my data backed up on the SD card so I will restore it from there. Thanks for the help.
I have tried hard resetting my phone, but I cant' get it to work. With the phone off, I hold the "volume down" key and press the power button. If i press the power and release quickly, nothing happens. If I hold it long enough for anything to happen, the phone just starts up normally. What am I doing wrong?
Also, If i reset the phone from the privacy menu, does it do the same thing as the above method?
no idea on the second question but try holding the volume up and down at the same time and then pressing the power button until it starts to boot. Continue holding down volume up and down and release the power button once it starts booting. Let us know if this did it for you.
I think you need to hold the volume control button (both Up & Down together) and the Power button until the Reboot screen appears.
Yea but none of the options will reset my phone...
My son was playing with the pattern lock and locked my phone, recovery using gmail username/pass don't work, so I need to hard reset it...
I've done the "delete all user data" and "delete cache data"
But it hasn't removed the lock... and I see my wallpaper is still the same...
Any other ideas... I am stuck with a $200 paper weight right now!!
Update: Fantastic!! Called Samsung, they said it's a bug and I need to send it in to be reflashed... hell no, back to the AT&T store I go... EXTREMELY dissapointed in AT&T / SAMSUNG.... It appears the standard Vibrant S can reset to factory settings!
Thanks,
Rich
Hi
Is there any way to remove a screen lock om this phone?
My son wishes to make one, but cant remember the code
Do i have to drop the phone into the garbage?
No good phone after all.
Hope some one can help me, or my son, with this.

You can factory reset the phone. I'm not sure, but I think if you keep guessing wrong, you'll get an option of logging in to the Google account associated with the phone, and.... well, actually, I don't know what happens then, since I've never done it or seen it.

Have to ask my son, if he has got that message about resetting.
Thanks
Gaasen
He hasent got that option.
Other options, to unlock ?
Gaasen
Try this:
Hardware key Reset:
1. Press the Power button to turn off the unit.
2. Press and hold down the Volume Down button located on the side of the device, then press the Power button and release it.
3. The phone should start with a menu present a list of options.
4. Use the Volume Down button and navigate to the Clear Storage option.
5. Then press on the Power button.
6. Select Yes to confirm your choice of selection.
Your Samsung Galaxy Xtreme S5690 will now reset back to factory default settings and all your data will be erased.
Hmmm...
The phone just start up, and wants the code
No list as you told.
Any other things to try out?
Gaasen
Make sure you hold down the Volume down button long enough. If still nothing, try other key combinations to get boot into factory recovery.
Cant get the "meny" to reset the phone.
If i push and holds the voloume down, press power for 2 sec, release power and still holding the voloume down, the phone loads until the screen lock appears.
I also tryed the other buttons, but just load until screen lock.
Is there any other way to reset the phone, with USB or so?

Hello Everyone,
My dad gave me this tablet to try and reset/restore or just get it back to original out of the box state. Problem is he set up a password and now can't remember it. Tried a set of instructions I got from a simple google search which involved pressing power 10 times while holding volume down, then pushing reset 3 or 4 times with a paperclip...possibly while still holding volume down? I don't know, the instructions were somewhat vague. Bottom line I couldn't get that to work. Anybody out there familiar with these tablets? Thanks for the help

Can you access the recovery ( usually by turning off the tab and pressing volume up and power button at the same time) if you can you should find an option to factory reset your tab. ( you can navigate to the reset option with volume keys and select using power button).
Press thanks if I helped.

I appreciate that. And as luck would have it, we figured out the password so we're in! Then the issue became on of getting warning pop-ups regarding the security of website certificates at every site we visited. Setting the correct date and time resolved it. So we're good now. Thank you very much for the help. Much appreciated.
