And they still insist that the Power button isn't required. But I (and several others) have threads on xda-developers and howardforums on this. It just seems impossible without it. And I've never had it fail to reset with using it.

And just as an FYI for others, the Internal Storage is NOT cleared by doing a hard reset.

well is easy i figure it out. this is the easiest hard reset "program/setting/system/ clear storage, enter 1234 and it will hard reset your system.

That works fine if you can get into your Diamond... Not always an option, depending on what you've done to it. Not that I know from personal experience, though...

It says in Manual: Hold down VOL DOWN key + ENTER KEY , then press POWER key once (still hold VOL DOWN & ENTER KEY).. Then you will see HARD RESET message.

I still can't get this to work ??

Did you know that the (ENTER KEY) is the center of D pad ?

I did not and that worked for me. Hope That Helpe

Press and hold vol down, enter & power. While holding all 3 buttons press the soft reset button with your stylus. Continue holding all 3 buttons. The screen will go black. Keep holding until the screen goes gray with the hard reset message.

I believe the manuals instructions are for when the device is off. Vol Down and enter key, then while still holding those two keys press the power button.
