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.

HTC S710 Hard Reset

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.

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!

Another method is to go to phone menu than go to Expert folder and open clear storage.
Hope this helps someone.

How do I hard reset my fuze?

I've been trying this over and over and all I get is the initial bootup screen.
I hold down the Volume Down, Enter (center circle button) and then use the stylus to hold down the Reset button. I hold all 3 down at the same time.
Every time I do this the phone reboots as if I only pressed the reset button using the stylus.
I've tried holding all 3 down for over 5 seconds and I've also tried releasing the reset button first and continuing to hold down the Volume Down and Center/circle button (which is the way described here on xda) and all it does is do what I believe is a soft reset.
Shouldn't I be seeing a screen saying it's going to delete all data?
What am I doing wrong?
EDIT: I should mention, I just finished installing TAEL's new rom ([ROM][WWE][PRO|FUZE][WM6.5.5.5|23518][14JAN10] TAEL ROM v3.23518 • SENSE EDITION • ), which is a windows mobile 6.5 rom, but every time I try the hard reset it's showing windows mobile 6.1. Although it does show TAEL rom at the initial screen where it also shows the wrong windows mobile version.

You must keep holding the volume up and the circle button pressed AFTER you remove the stylus. this should take you to the RGB screen and then instructions on how to continue.
Good luck

Actually, that method didn;t work for me either.. but this one did...
Take out the battery... put the battery back in...
Press and hold the CENTER BUTTON and VOLUME DOWN... While still pressing them press and hold the POWER button. Then you will get a screen saying press volume up to hard reset...
I hope that works for you

That was so easy! Thanks.

Many people often let go of the buttons before it turns back on.
Note: You can release the reset button but still have to hold Vol Down and Center to get to the Bootloader.

[Q] button combination to force a shutdown

I must be searching for the wrong things. What is the button combination to force a shutdown on the Note Pro? Thanks.
eric

Press and hold:
Power only - power off
Power + vol up - recovery
Power + vol dn - download mode.
Is this what you are needing?

Those were what I was expecting. But the power+vol combinations aren't doing anything on mine. It is a Verizon LTE version, but I wouldn't think that would make a difference?

They should work . . . best way IMO is to just do a shutdown from within the OS, then while the tablet's off press and hold a vol/home combo prior to pressing and holding the power button. Once the model number splash screen appears let go of power first while holding the other two . . hold the other two for a second or so and then let go.

Ok, this is really silly, but I don't find any way from the Note Pro's OS to do a power down, other than the popup from holding the power button?
(Sorry, bit of background, this all started from a problem that my power button was only working to wake the tablet, but after that, had no effect whatsoever. After mucho playing, for no apparent reason, finally the popup menu came up, I did a restart, and it's been 100% since than. But it has left me worried how to do a shutdown if the power button isn't working. No pulling the batteries on these things.)

Correct, when booted into android OS a momentary holding of the power button will bring up the power menu one option within which will be to power off. This is typical of many android devices.
Are you sure your power button is operating normally?
I have read elsewhere of a user having issue with his power button not feeling right (less travel than anticipated without much tactile feedback when depressed indicating possible defect).
I would like to add for clarity that there is no force shutdown via hardware button, only force reboot. Holding power down for several seconds will force a full reboot. Holding it down briefly to get the power menu gets the power off option in the menu to fully turn the tablet off. If your tablet reboots after this option is chosen then something is wrong.

No, because after returning to working fine yesterday it is acting up again. Not a hardware problem - if the tablet is off, the button will always work to wake it up. But once again, it is now not being responded to when the tablet is awake - either a quick push, a long push, or in combination with the other buttons.
It seems like this is a software problem, either driver or app, since mechanically the button works every time to wake up the tablet. And, of course, I can't do a shutdown or reboot to see if that clears it, because its not responding to the power button. Can't remap the power button because no root available on the Verizon LTE model. Frustrating.
eric

I would take it back to Verizon. IMO software shouldn't interfere with a long depress forcing a reboot. That function is fundamental. This still sounds to me like a possible hardware issue where a long press is not identified as such (intermittent connection in the button).

But a short press also doesn't work when the tablet is on, but does work when the tablet is off. But then it clears up, and always works properly for awhile.
Unfortunately, unlike phones, taking out the battery isn't an alternative option...

I dunno what to tell you. Without root I don't see how any software you have installed on the tablet would have changed anything, and without the ability to get into download mode I'm not sure there's a way for you to do a factory reset that will fix the issue (if it is indeed a software one). I hope someone else chimes in that can help. My suggestion to take it in to Verizon still stands though.
Good luck!

rebooting s2 3g

I see a lot of you saying you've rebooted your watch. Can someone please tell me how that's done. Cuz i'm not seeing where that's possible.
I can't get any apps to install because i'm getting the gear2 not connected message. I've rebooted the phone but that didn't fix the problem.
THANK YOU.
ALSO, how do i check for and download the latest rom for the s2? If there's an update.

Press and hold the bottom right button
Assuming you wore the watch on your left hand, there are two buttons on the right side - towards the fingers of your left hand.
Press and hold the button on the bottom, and it will show you a menu to power off.
Repeat to start again.

From Tmobile support :
A master reset restores the original factory settings and may delete your personal data on the internal storage, such as downloads, ringtones, images, apps, contacts, and Visual Voicemail.
If the device menus are frozen or unresponsive, you can master reset using hardware keys. To perform a master reset, follow these steps:
Make sure that the Gear is powered off.
Press and hold the Power key until you see Galaxy Gear rebooting.
Release the Power key and then repeatedly press the Power key until you see the Reboot Select Mode screen.
Press the Power key to highlight the recovery option.
Long press the Power key (5-8 sec.) to select it. The device will reset and return to the factory initialization screen.

You can also directly reboot by simply holding the power/home button a bit longer -- about 10 seconds.
Press and hold, and when you see the "power menu" with the Power Off option, just keep holding the button until it appears to power off / go blank. Then, let go of the button. It will shortly display, "Rebooting...", and reboot.
Now, for those compsci folk out there, I don't know if this will cause any problems with caches/etc., leaving behind corrupt file system data structures or corrupting actual data, because it's not a proper shutdown of the linux kernel on the watch.
Yet, it is much simpler than the shutdown/restart method, and easier on the button (one press vs. two).
I'm not too worried, though, for a whole bunch of reasons about how linux is implemented on small and embedded devices like this with NV storage.
