Hard Reset of HTC Touch Pro

I've read through several posts regarding resetting my HTC Touch pro but nothing is working. My touch screen stopped working - it doesn't do anything when I tap the icons on the screen. The keys still work but the screen is not working.
With the power off I tried holding down the volume button while pressing the round "enter" button and then pressed the power on button. The only message I get is "you are about to power off the device, you will lose any information not saved". I've also tried holding down the down volume button while holding the enter button and then using my stylus hit the "reset" button on the bottom. This didn't do anything either - I hate this phone!
The phone is on the Alltel network.

How I hard reset my 6850 HTC Touch Pro
Using the recommended method I was not able to hard reset my phone after installing a custom ROM I maid using PPC Kitchen. But what I tried that did work was, Phone off (not just asleep), holding the volume down button, while holding down the round "enter" button, while holding down the power button, then also holding down the reset button holding down all these buttons worked. I did not have to hold them for long till the text instructions came up and I followed them. Let me know if this works for any of you.

I had the same issue. And it did not work for me either. I found this alternative way to hard reset from another site.....
Start/Settings/System and find Clear Storage and that will hard reset your device.

Power Button Doesn't Work

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.

Volume buttons dont work and freezes my phone! PLEASE HELP

I have been using GEN Y 6.1 rom quite awhile now. Lately, my volume buttons dont work. When pressed, my phone bascially freezes and sometimes soft resets by itself when I press the volume buttons. I have not changed anything recently, WHAT GIVES? Please help me.

Headphone button control don't work sometimes!!

I bought galaxy s3 3 weeks ago and i found this problem. With stock 4.1.2 XELLA and original samsung headphones, sometimes,randomly, button on the headphone dont respond to press. After 1 or 2 plug-out,plug-in or a restart they come back to normal. The mic still work even when the buttons are unresponsive. Anyone had this problem? i dont want to hard reset the phone

sometimes that happens to me and if i hold down VOL DOWN on the phone for about 2 seconds, then press VOL UP it goes back to normal

i made an update from xella to emc2, made a hard reset, problem still here. The buttons only response to long press, like answer button that start google now. I try another headphones and still do the same. No solution for that?

Did anyone have any idea what happen to my tablet

I don't know is this is a right place to make this topic
This happen to chinese tablet when install app(coc) to my tablet and it restart itself and I am stuck at the boot screen with nothing on it tried to hard reset it and the problem still there(sorry for my bad English)

I think there is a option of hard reset but long pressing of volume and home button simultaneously. I am not sure which buttons you have to press. So I suggest you to search over Google.
