HOW TO: Reset your Diamond2 (Soft/Hard)

---

After messing around with the device, I am now readying it to be my phone...this means, hard reset to go back to how it was + sync + simcard in etc

The rest procedure is as follows:

If device is on:
Hold Vol Up and Down and at the same time, press the reset button (you will have to remove the back battery cover and it is the RED button under the stylus head and NOT the opposite side which says VOID (this is a screw) )

Your device will reboot and then display on a white Screen:
"This operation will delete all your personal data and reset.... etc

Now release your volume buttons and press the Vol UP button to reset it

Any other key will take you out of this and reboot the device without a hard reset.


Obviously soft reset is self explanatory...just press the red button in and release..this will reboot the device without any data loss

This is in your manual too on page 213/214 but it is always easier it being on a forum

Thanks always useful when inevitably I lose the manual

This didn't work on my device but I found out that pressing volume down + the red soft reset button will take you to the bootloader.

Thanks for the useful informations! Much appreciated!

found an easier way. you even dont need to remove the back battery cover to get to the reset button.

1. turn off the D2 by pressing(and holding down) the power button for few seconds! it will ask you if you want to turn of the phone.. "yes"

-for a Softreset just power on again ---> Softreset

-for a Hardreset hold VolUP & VolDn and power on! now you'll get to the white screen telling you everything will be deleted blabla! as akash_84 wrote now just press VolUP ---> Hardreset

Hard Reset for Diamond2 is press 1234 then YES!

Hi Everybody Here,

***DON'T NEED TO REMOVE BACK COVER !!!

***DON'T NEED TO PRESS WITH TWO HANDS !!!

Soft Reset : Press the Power Button for 3 seconds, then YES!

Hard Reset : Go to Start, Settings, System, look for a icon "Clear Storage" ,
Just key in 1234, then YES!

Is this more Simple?
