hard resetting?

[Tregrad]

I know im going to get beat up for this one but for some reason the hard reset isnt working. I havent done it in a LONG time so do I have to let go of soft keys in some kind of order or what?

thanks, but

"To hard reset use the stylus to push the little button on the left side of the USB port on the bottom of the phone and hold both the left and right 'soft keys' at the same time. A screen will show up (don't let go of those 2 softkeys!) and will ask if you want to hard reset. Press the key that has the option you want (yes or no). Once it's done you will press the space bar."


still didnt work, do i have to do all 3 at same time one at a time, stylus first hit keys before vibrate, how long to hold soft kesy etc.

pisses me off when something so basic is kicks my butt.
bout ready to just run the RUU again

If you can boot into windows mobile why don't you just hard reset from there..instead of using the soft key/stylus method?

ok, help a brotha out and let him know how lol.
I had no idea you could do it from within windows, sounds much easier than giving yourself carple tunnel syndrome bending your fingers like a pretzel.

I hold both buttons, then poke the stylus, release the stylus and then release the buttons. It takes a few tries at times.

after about the hundredth time I gave up and just ran the RUU again, now I hang my head low in defeat

Well you can do it from the device it self by going to Start>Settings>2nd tab (forgot name)>And look for Clear storage select it and its a hard reset.

lol yeah, but all is good. I had just ran the RUU anyway and hadnt installed any programs, it was more or less irritating me because i couldnt do it. I just ran the RUU again but now i know for next time.
I always thought the "clear storage" thing was for the storage card itself so i never did it (stayed away from that thing like the plauge)

thanks for all the help everyone. I still dont see how everyone does the hard reset using your fingers, I guess the older one gets the harder things get :D
