I ruined my VOX! I need HELP!

My vox keeps on restarting when the microsd card is inside, and when it's outside its just doesn't getting to the home screen. It's getting stuck on the second HTC logo.
It is after I did soft reset to my device after I used the SDA_ApplicationUnlock and the new comm manager style (list):

I've tried hard reset:

And it doesn't seam to work... ):
When I push all the 3 keys altogether when the VOX is off the phone doesn't even turn on, just pushing only the power button turning the VOX on.
So, how can I rescue my VOX?
By the way, I soft reset my VOX by pulling outside the SIM slot and then pushing it back inside.

to hardreset you have to :
1. turn off the phone
2. press and keep pressed the 2 softkeys
3. press power button for about 2 sec
4. release the power button, but keep the other 2 keys pressed about one more sec
5. a black screen will aprear with some white text asking for hardreset confirmation.
good luck

Nothing happens… only when I press just the power button the phone turning on.
Maybe I don't know what are the two softkeys?
Help!

the sokt keys are the 2 keys between the home and back keys and the d-pad, ie the keys above "1" n "3"

Well, I was wrong about the two softkeys. But its still doesn't seem to work.
When I follow the instruction above the phone is turning on, as usual, but nothing else happens (the phone still gets stuck at the second HTC logo).

when you press the power button even if the screen lights up keep the pw button pressed for 2 sec then release it but keep the other 2 but. pressed

Still doesn't work, its continuing to the screen with the "windows mobile" logo.

I had the same promblem, fixing by removing SIM and go ahead
1. turn off the phone
2. press and keep pressed the 2 softkeys
3. press power button for about 2 sec
4. release the power button, but keep the other 2 keys pressed untill...
5. a black screen will aprear with some white text asking for hardreset confirmation.

Hi It still doesnt seem to work with me.
Because i have the same problem and i tried to do all the things from above.
This is bad. man my phone doesnt work.

That's strange, if the phone can go as far as the second htc screen I thought it should be able to hard reset.
Also make sure usb cable is not plugged in while you try to hard reset. I just tried it and I don't get the white text on black screen when I have the cable in.

ן succeeded in doing a HR a couple of days ago, but I forget to write it down here.
The instructions are:
1. Take out the battery of 5 sec.
2. Put in the battery.
3. Press the two soft keys (above 1 and 3), and don't stop pressing.
4. Press the power button. The sec the green light blink, next to the HTC logo, you remove your finger from the power button (this is what no one told me).
5. You are asked to press the SEND button to confirm the HR.

are you sure nobody told you that ?

Sorry, let me rewrite myself:
I didn't fully understand this instruction, and if I didn't understand it good enough maybe other people would understand it as me. So I wrote a farther instruction.

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.

It´s highly recommended to read the Wiki!

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.

[SOLVED] Entering bootloader not possible

ok, after following directions on how to flash back to original spl my winxp crashed-blue screen. Haven't seen that in a while and now my maple is stuck.
Even going in the bootloader won't do no more. When i hold the volume down button it's showing directly the 9% progress bar.
Did i brick it for good? Or can i still try the goldcard method?I'd have to buy the software but want to be shure that it will work.
Any advice is very welcome...

First of all: Did you remove the battery? Just remove it, wait a couple of seconds, press and hold volume down and press on/off. Release on/off and then volume key, you should be back to the start of flashing.

Thanxs, tried again and it worked. Was able to flash to the original ROM...didn't press the VOLUME-DOWN and POWER-BUTTON long enough...

i had the same problem now i'm stuck in 9% progress bar...
i really don't know what to do...i tried so many things but no good...
it would be nice if someone helped me..

Hi there,
i just tried the same:
- battery out
- battery in
- volume down
- power down
But the phone starts directly without pressing any key. Directly when i insert the battery it starts to boot.
Windows looks like working but it shows "insert SIM" and reboots. Again and again.
Reaction to the lightsensor is there- but no keys are working...
I think the windows hangs- but until i'm not able to enter the bootloader its not possible to flash the phone...
in other forums is written about press vol UP button here is written about vol DOWN button... What is the correct?

Captivate will not hard reset.

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

My One S never boots up and keep restarting automatically

My One S has worked fine until now. Now, however, it suddenly started to reboot nonstop. I get the first two starting screens, then it shuts down, and in a few seconds it starts again. The process continues until the battery is dead. I've tried to hold in the shutdown button for various amounts of time and it leads to the process halting, ie the mobile keeps being off. But once I release the button the process continues once again.
Any ideas?

Can you get in to bootloader?
Power down then power + Volume

Are you HTC Dev unlocked?

This didn't work on my phone :S I tried hard reboot and factory reset, both doesn't work. :S
What else I can do, I'm so panicked at the moment, please help me.
I can't get to the menu screen, it just keeps reloading between htc one s and htc logo please help.

I was having this issue the other day. It took me a while to get it figured out and this thread helped me: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1630459
To get into bootloader was hit and miss for me. I found that the best and most consistent way was to hold down the power + down volume, let go of the power while holding down the down volume after 5 sec and then press the power again then let go of both buttons.
