So, Dream_Phyre, I learned something new today. Thought since I was $%TCHING about not being able to hard reset properly, I would share my findings with you and the group.

When I got the heads up that I had to hold the buttons in the specific order, I went back to my old method of starting without the battery in, and found out that I was just pressing the buttons in the wrong order! So, sorry if I made it sound like it was something that you caused, I truly apologize

So, here's the easiest method of how to hard reset (no reset pin needed):

*After you sucessfully flash, take out your battery. Hold your phone in your left hand, with your pointer finger on the top by the power button, and your thumb on the side, by the volume buttons.

*With the phone powered off, push the VOLUME DOWN button FIRST and hold, followed by the CENTER button SECOND and hold (be careful not to hit the directional buttons on the outside of the center button,) and then finally the POWER button THIRD and hold.

*As long as you did it correctly, the phone, instead of vibrating, should go directly to the screen asking you to push VOL UP to reset.

This is definitely MUCH easier than holding your stylus in your teeth to push the pin or whatever other ingenious methods you've found to hit that reset pin.

Hope this helps some of you in your flashing addiction!

With the power off,
