Hard reset?

I have tried to hard reset, but it seems that my phone just hangs afterward.

Powered off. Held down Green & Red buttons and Volume Up.

Screen flashed through the boatloader screen (green, red, white).

It hangs on a gray screen with "Trigger: Ramdump Mode" and "Serial"

What now?

I have given it 5 minutes... just sits there... looking at me... doing nothing... like my dog...

Have you tired just doing it through clear storage?

Try Power + Send + Vol Down, that's the combination i used.

After several attempts, as well as holding my breath this time, I finally got a hard reset... and.... I'm happy I did it!

For some reason, after the hard reset, I now have more ringtones?! Go figure! I only had 5 initially, and was jealous because my wife had more... now there is about 30...

Wonder what else I have now that was missing before.... let's see...

after you do this, Power + Send + Vol Down: which option do you choose, default or custom

Yeah, I'm curious too. I'm planning on doing a hard reset soon.

Didn't see a default or custom. Just wiped the whole thing and started from scratch.

did you do the "Power + Send + Vol Down" way or the clear screen "type - 1234" way.

If you did the first option you should of had a choice to choose.
