Hard Reset Verizon Touch Pro2

[8notime]

All of these methods may be in other forums and in the manual but nothing posted so far actually works on the Verizon TP2.

And BTW, clear storage on the VZW TP2 is actually in settings>system>memory>clear storage not in settings>system.

i just did it and it works fine. the method i posted on the previous page, directly from the verizon tp2 user manual, works perfect.

I swear I've followed those instructions to a T, but I'll try again

Edit: Okay, I was wrong. I misread the instructions that razorloves posted. Where it says:

1. With the device turned off

It literally means with the device powered down. I thought it just meant off as in turning the power off with the button on top.

Verizon made the hard reset button combination on the tp2 different from everyone elses tp2, just like they did with the tp1. So, you get a bunch of sprint (and others) people giving the wrong information on how to do a hard reset, so just make sure you are following the verizon instructions.

No, but I wish he did!

8notime, what - exactly - did you do? How did you get this to work... still to this moment I still can't do it.

Thanks.

If the phone is booted up, hold the End key to power it completely down.

Then hold the Volume Down, Green Phone Button, and Red End Button at the same time.

If you wait a few seconds you will see it go into bootloader. Keep holding and then you will see the white screen come up with 3 options. Option 1 & 2 both do the same things as far as I can tell (I did them both). You will have to *228 option 1 when it comes back up & reprogram your phone.

I just did a hard reset on my Verizon TP2 and the instructions in the manual are correct (unlike the reference in the manual to the included screen protector!). The key is the hold the 3 keys down until the reset screen comes up, then release them all at the same time. If you don't, it just does a soft reset; I had that happen twice. I do like that Verizon gave us a choice to remove the carrier customizations this time, but since there are very few 'gimps' on this phone, you don't really need to.

Just did a hard reset on my Verizon TP2 (With the phone turned off, press & hold Vol down + Talk + End), I noticed a typo. instead of restore, it says "resotre". Lol

Just did my first hard reset with my VZW TP2, and the instructions above are right. With phone off, vol down + red key (power) + green key (talk). I found it easier to do with the back off, because the volume down button is isolated from vol up.
