I have a very tricky question:
Does anybody know how to perform a hardreset if your volume up/down keys don't work. I bricked my raphael with a backup and the volume keys where faulty for a long time. Now I hang at the blue starting screen and thats it
HELP
Not sure if you're comfortable with taking your raph apart, but sometimes if you press the key directly w/o the housing it works.
You can hardreset your device by the following:
start=> settings=>system=> clear storage

I am an avid kaiser user but I have some friends with the S710 devices and they have some wierd problems which I think would be solved by doing a hard reset but I do not know how to do this.
I can do it on my kaiser but how do I do it on the S710 device.
This device is also known as a vodafone v1415
Hi Tom Williams,
A hard reset is pretty standard with all handsets, I can help with this.
All you need to do is, while you're in one of the options on any of your menus, take the battery out of the phone to kill the power, then take out the SIM card for around 10 minutes.
Replace the SIM and battery and switch it back on, you will then update on the network.
Hopefullyuseful

Hard reset S710.
Hello
another way to this is:
1. Take out the battery.
2. put back the battery.
3. Hold in both keys next to the navigation button on the front keypad.
4. While holding in both buttons press the power button. make sure you only release the power button and keep holding in the other to buttons while the phone starts up.
4.once the phone indicates that it is resetting with a black screen with white text you can release the buttons.
5. Please keep in mind that if you do this all data will be lost. Make sure you save all your data before using this option. And all files on your storage card will be locked if they are marked for encryption on WM6.
So this should only be your last option to hard restart the phone.
One extra step!

Phone starts normaly
Another method is to go to phone menu than go to Expert folder and open clear storage.
Hope this helps someone.
Hi,
I have upgraded my MDA to NO EVIL ROM Windows mobile 6 version from this forum. Device was working great for couple of weeks. Now suddenly it stopped booting. When I do soft reset the
S.N.E ... Presents screen comes up.
Then HTC Wizard screen comes up
The Touch No Evil screen come up and then it stays at the same screen. It does not respond even to power button now.
The radio light (green light) blinks. The system does not respond to even hard reset.
I am tosed. Please help. Any response to recover from this situation is usefull.
Thanks in advance...
From the sounds of it, something you have installed or configured isn't allowing the phone to finish booting. You basically have 2 choices at this point... Hard Reset or Reflash the phone.
When you say hard reset doesn't work, are you sure you are doing a hard reset? Pull the battery out and let the phone rest for a minute or so. Press the power button a couple of times (yes with the battery out) to discharge any power in the device. Then put the battery back in, and press the top two buttons on either side of the phone (Comm and Record), and while holding those in press and release the power button. After a couple of seconds you should have a black screen with white text asking you about resetting the phone. Press the Send key (the green phone key that you use to answer the phone) and you will have completed the Hard Reset. If you get errors then you need to tell us what they are. If you never get the black screen with white writing then you aren't holding the buttons down correctly.
To reflash the phone, put it in bootloader (press and hold the recorder button while pushing in and releasing the reset button (or while turing the phone on)). Once you get the tri color screen, hook up the USB cord and it should say USB in the lower left. Now you can flash it (even though the phone won't connect to ActiveSync).
Good luck and hope that helps.
Able to reboot
Thanks for the advise. After several tries, was able to hard reset and started booting and working OK.
I have not done any soft reset after this event. What should I look for to correct, if any errors.?. do you recommend that I reflash the ROM?. The only software, I had installed was Microsoft Voice recorder. I have not installed the same after the reboot.
Thanks

Now after resetting, I see my phone getting into vibration mode all the time. Even if I set to ring mode, it will automatically go back to vibration mode after some time. Any idea on how to fix the same?.
Thanks
Hello all! Sorry to be a goof, but I cannot figure out how to
hard reset/cold boot my Qtek 8310 with the soft keys (comm mgr & camera) + power on. I only manage to get to the boot loader and it gives me no options.
I know I have done it before and on other devices there was usually a menu choice that enabled you to hard reset / go to bootloader.
I would be very grateful for advice on this topic!
Thanks for a great forum!
Turn off the phone and hold left and right soft buttons (start and contacts) then swith on pushing a power button about 1sec. When you see blask screen press 0.
Understand?)
another way: Turn off the phone and hold camera button, after that insert USB cable. Wait 3 sec the bootloader will show.
you have 4 buttons on ther bottom of the screen
press the right on and left one and power in the same time
ask to factory default tape 0
then the fone hard reset
Thanks to GSM-CLINIQUE.COM
My power button does not work at all. It doesn't put the phone to sleep nor can it wake it up. Holding it down doesn't even give me an option to shut it down and presumably it can't turn the phone on either.
So basically I think I just wore the button down. Now in spite of that, is there a way to reflash a new ROM without being able to turn it on using the button? I mean, if I remember the procedure correction, you just have to turn it off to take the sim card out and to put it back in. Can I forgo this step?
I mean, I am just sliding out my keyboard to wake it up but I fear if my battery ever fully runs down.
Try to Hard reset your device..
To perform a hard reset
1. Pull out the stylus.
2. With the device turned on, press and hold the VOLUME DOWN and ENTER buttons, then press the RESET button with the stylus tip.
3. Release the RESET button, but continue pressing the VOLUME DOWN and ENTER buttons until you see this message on the screen:
This operation will delete all your personal data, and reset all settings to manufacturer default. Press VolUp to restore manufacturer default, or press other keys to cancel.
4. Release the VOLUME DOWN and ENTER buttons, then press the VOLUME UP button to perform the hard reset, or press any other button to cancel the reset.
Yup, didn't work. Am I boned if my phone ever turns off? Jeez, and I just received that extra battery too.
Is there a way to remap the sleep button to the PTT key?
you dont have to pull out the stylus or have the device on to do a hard reset. just turn on the device and immediately hit volume down and center. once the screen lights up you can let go then wait for the reset message and press volume up.
anyways, if you have a att fuze, take it in, its under warrenty, theyll replace it. in any case you need it fixed. you cant live your live hoping your battery will never die. you cant turn it on or flash a new rom or anything without a working power button. if you dont have att im sure you can call htc and tell them you want it fixed and theyll mail you the supplies to get it shipped. just hope you can live without it for a couple days. its youre only options if you want it working.
I came back here all excited to post that it suddenly started working but it is back to the way it was.
The phone is really old so it's just of warranty and I don't think it is worth it to have it fixed when so many other problems are wrong with it. I guess it's time to be looking at new phones.
And now the power button is working. This phone just boggles the mind, people. I'm sure it'll stop working in a couple of hours though. Does anyone have any ideas what could be causing this? Maybe a short due to rain or something? Worn down contacts?
Same power button over here.
Sorry for reply on an old article but Google won't help me. I'm havin' the same problem. Na responds on the power button neither can i do a hard reset.
Anyone has a sollution. Phone is out of warranty ...
Is it a hadware problem of something with the software. Still has the (updated) stock rom. I've tried to reflash it with this latest rom but this didn't solved the problem.
Solved (for the time being..) The button seemed to be stuck. With my fingernail I managed to 'lift' it.
I can not launch the Touch Flo 3D it say to Tap the window but it does not launch. Does some type of reset need to be performed? If so what is the correct procedure?
Thanks

Did you do anything before it got to this stage such as install a new app or theme ?
If you did then try one of the threads listed here http://www.google.co.uk/#hl=en&safe...S3Dg&sqi=2&ved=0CCEQrQIwAA&fp=fb65bc885a9abf7
If you didn't do anything and it just won't start then try a soft reboot (take off the battery cover and there is a red reset button under the stylus)
As a last resort and i mean last as this will lose anything that you haven't backed up including contacts stored to phone , programs installed to phone and messages etc you can do a hard reset.
Before doing a hard reset i strongly recommend you have a look around the forum and see if you can find a backup utility that will back everything up to your pc and will save you time and having to lose everything.(can't recommend one to use as i really don't have all that much to backup on mine so have never bothered)
To do 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 a message on the screen telling you all data will be lost.
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.
A hard reset will restore all factory settings but please note this will remove anything that you have added to the ROM that is on there from programs to contacts and messages.
