Re: how do you hard reset the tp?
 

Another hardware button combo for hard reseting is:

Enter (Center D-Pad button) + Volume Down + Power + Reset (the recessed button you activate with your stylus).

It's a little tough to hit all those simultaneously, but it can save you a little time if your device doesn't bring up the hard reset screen on your first try with the other method. You can activate a hard reset at any time (device on or device off) with this method, so you don't have to wait for it to power up and then shut down again.

When doing a hard reset, will I lose all the settings and installed "aftermarket" programs?

Re: how do you hard reset the tp?
 

You most definitely will. Hard reset means "back to as it was when you bought it" (or "back to how it was when you flashed whatever ROM you have on there" if it's a custom ROM)

I just performed a hard reset...now it's stuck at the Touch Pro screen with the red writing at the bottom. It's been like that for about 10 minutes. Any ideas or is it bricked?
