pull the battery out for 3 seconds
reinsert it
press volume down + power button
when a three android images screen appear
navigate through volume buttons and choose factory reset
"you can choose by the power button"

Hello everybody,
first I wanna say THANK YOU to all people here - it's an awesome forum here !
My problem is the following:
I use ARHD 4.1.11 with EQS from blackdog7. When I want to restart my phone using the power menu -> restart it doesn't restart, it switches off. Does someone have a solution for this or can explain why this happens?
Best regards,
h0leripper
Have you tried quick boot app from market? It's free and you can restart and enter into bootloader and recovery as well.
I just use the 3 button combo to restart, hole both volume buttons and power..

Thanks for your reply!
Do you mean its normal that reboot function from the power menu doesn't work?

Some roms don't. Some roms offer everything from restart to recovery. That's why I always use quick boot.
sorry if you all know this already
So i have found a new way to restart the phone
Press and hold the HOME key and vol- button and phone restarts
I didn't know it. Thanks.
Interesting.Thans man.
i triedur method its not working.... but what i know is that if u keep pressing the power key for 8-10 swconds ur phone will restart and u dont have to be rooted or any thing for that to work....
press thanks if i helped

The method is working. Don't know if it matters, but I press the home button first and then I press vol down for a short time.
@tarunagg:
I did already knew it, but good to know for others. Thanks.
Is it for you the same that with this method the phone is usable again faster than with the button in the power menu mod?

@tarunagg, please change your post to say "home button" instead of "menu key", and thanks for the tip!

flies don't get corrupted, they get squashed
I haven't found any corruption in my files yet.
Cool... it works!
Thanks for sharing
Thanks for sharing. Have tried this a few times and it worked for me. On the stock ROM you can get a screenshot as well by pressing the menu and then the back button. Has anybody tried that?
Yes I know that also

Hello, i tried looking for an answer for this but could not find it in the forum. I have a HTC sensation, my child draw a different pattern and now my phone is locked. I had fastboot enable and know i can´t get into the fastboot menu to erase the phone (no important data in it). Do you guys know a way for getting into fastboot (battery removal or any other way) Thank you!!!
Pull the battery. That should wipe the fast-boot cache so it will do a full boot.
Then do the usual Vol Down + Power trick to get into the Bootloader menu.
pull battery and hold volume down key when booting
Pull out battery, re insert, vol down + pwr

and y do u need to fully wipe ur phone for that, if u still know the pattern, you can choose the (forgot pattern) option and sunlock it using ur google account .
if u don't know the pattern u can just pull of the batterry and reinsert it again and boot into fastboot (keep holding the volume down and power button), run RUU and flash your rom again.
cheers
Viper
Can't you just unlock with google account?
here is the lock screen

No yo just press them and you wait about 2mins and then it will reboot automatically. This will make factory reset and if it works well your phone will be like a new one

You have to completely wipe everything or things break sometimes. Yes that includes internal storage.
