How to reset to factory defaults

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."

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.

Tablet Hard Reset
I don't have experience with
this specific tablet, but many
Android devices use a similar
procedure.
Start with the tablet fully
powered off (not just in
standby). To force the tablet to
a fully off state, hold the power
button pressed for until it
powers down. This can take 10
to 20 seconds.
Hold the volume up button
pressed (some devices may use
the volume down button), and
then press and hold the power
button, until a small menu
appears. Release the power
button and then the volume
button.
Use the volume up/down
buttons to select the required
menu entry, and then tap the
power button to action the
selection.
I hope this works for you

[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.

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!

[Completed] [Q] 7in Trio Stealth G2

I have a 7in. Trio Stealth G2. Its is stuck in a boot loop. Im currently waiting on the battery to die so I can try to hard reset that way, and to get to the Android recovery menu. The reset button on the back is completely useless at this point. Other than bouncing it off the wall im at the end of my rope. Tech support reps at Machspeed are anything but tech support. (they asked to walk me through the hard reset 3x)

Hi there,
From this thread I will quote the steps for reset: Trio Stealth G2 Hype frozen at boot logo
Hard Reset G2 – In the case of password lockouts or freezing, doing a hard reset on your android device could help you get back to the factory defaults. First you need to make sure your tablet is powered off. Hold down on the Volume + button and hold down the Power button at the same time. As soon as the tablet's screen turns on let go of the Power button but keep the Volume + button held down until you see a large Android in the center of the screen. At this point you will see a screen with boot options. Use the Volume – button to go down to Wipe Data Factory Reset and tap the Power button to select this option. On the next screen use the Volume – button again to go down to Yes and use the Power button to select. At this point it will be going through the wiping and resetting process. When it's done you will see the first screen you came to when you first started the setup. Just tap the Power button to select Reboot System Now.
Make sure tablet is powered off.
Hold down Volume + button and Power button at same time.
When screen comes on let go of Power button.
When the large Android shows on screen let go of Volume + button.
Use Volume – button to scroll to Wipe Data/ Factory Reset
Tap Power button to select.
Use Volume – button to scroll to Yes.
Tap Power button to select.
Tap Power button to select Reboot System Now.
