Hard reset after flashing

[GiODi]

So I don't know about everyone else, but I find it a pain in the ars to perform the hard reset procedure.

My question: Would the Clear Storage function be just as good after flashing?

Yes. Clear Storage is a software app that helps you perform a hard reset. the ROM flash process, by default, performs a hard reset when it overwrites your firmware. the hard reset/Clear Storage that is recommended after just insures that any dirty data that may have gotten left behind is dealt with. That gives your device the best chance to function as error free as possible.

Hope that helps!

OH No! You should NEVER hard reset after you flash.

If you do it will make your phone clear any remaining data and keep to memory clean for your set-up install process. Plus it will make your phone run better. And no one wants that.

</sarcasm>

Honestly though, whether its psychosomatic or not, I believe my phone works better if I hard reset.

You guys have to keep your hands on the two soft keys for good. I use my left hand (index and middle fingers) to press them and in my right hand to reset until i get the white screen to hard reset.

Make sure you don't have the USB cable in and if you have fat fingers try using chopsticks instead.

I can't manage to pickup a 20oz steak with chopsticks (even if I stab it)! What makes you think I could use them for hard resetting my Tilt? :rolleyes:

[cyninger]

I ALWAYS hard reset and contrary to my post/member date, I've flashed quite a few ROM's. My problem is that I remember to do the hard reset after I've gotten about 1/4 way through getting the device set up after a fresh ROM update.

Tilt user

No cable plugged in
No fat fingering the keys
Used 2 pens to firmly hold down the soft keys then hold soft reset with stylus.

Never works.

Another Tilt User,

No cable plugged in
No fat fingering the keys around two softkeys,
With device turned on, used 2 fingers to firmly hold down the softkeys then press soft reset with stylus, the keypad flashed after 2 seconds, it works every time.

[JimmyMcGee]

OK Then. My Tilt, I Hard Reset ALL the TIME.

Press the Soft Keys Down. Feel and look to make sure that's all you have pressed down. Then Press your Stylus in and hold for 10 seconds or the screen turns Grey. Which ever in last.

I can't manage to pickup a 20oz steak with chopsticks (even if I stab it)! What makes you think I could use them for hard resetting my Tilt? :rolleyes:

Wait Chopsticks are for eating? I couldn't wait that long for the food to reach my mouth. :p

[ziddey]

maybe you guys arent holding in the reset button long enough? doesn't it take 5-10 seconds for it to give you the hard reset screen? it does for me. ?!?!

20oz with chopsticks? bring it.

[pyraxiate]

Works with my Kaiser, but never on my Tilt...:confused:


Hard reset works on my tilt fine. YOU ARE PRESSING THE CORRECT SOFTKEYS RIGHT????? ( its NOT the red and green buttons...as explained many many many times here ) its the 2 buttons on the INNER keypad above the IE smbol and above the Mail symbol...... give that a shot.... I set my tilt n a table, use 2 fingers to hold down the keys and palm the phone to hold it in place as i push in the reset button...works 100% of the time ... just did it 10 times in a row for the heck of it :)

[GiODi]

First of all.. thanks for the replies.

I am familiar on how to do it, but it just doesn't work well for me. I would say it takes me about 6.7 min's on average to get the stupid thing to hard reset.

Wowza....... takes mine like 10 seconds ..... wonder if theres really an issue with your phone? I wonder if the bootloader ties into the hard reset functions since the bootloader is the primary firmware for the phone. Could try reflashing HardSPL and see if it makes a difference?
