That works better is some phones than others for some strange reason. I have two TP's & both have been hard reset more than once. One of them works perfectly doing exactly what you state here on the first or maybe second try every single time.

The other one is an absolute nightmare to hard reset if it's froze up so you can't get to the clear memory screen. I had it frozen solid from some TF3D mods I was trying out that went bad, so it had to be reset this way.

It was absolutely infuriating, I bet I tried that button pushing 25 times in a row before I got it to work. Before anybody says "did you make sure the power was off first??", I was pulling the battery every time & it was not plugged into a charger.............
