when you do a cold boot (hard reset) you have to

1. Power off the phone. Remove and re-insert the battery to make sure.
2. Press and hold the middle of the Volume button (so that both + and - are pushed down) and the Camera button. While holding these button also press the Power button.
3. Wait until the screen shows "Cold Boot" then release the Power button only.
4. Keep holding the middle of Volume and Camera buttons pressed until the Welcome screen appears.

This may require some fingering to get it right. If you don't get it right you may accidently enter the emergency download mode.

If this doesn't work you can use the download mode to deploy a NoDo rom that might be available for you phone.
