I so cant hard reset my Verizon touch pro...
 

Ok, I have been all over this site, XDA Developers, Modaco, PDAPhoneHome looking for a simple way to hard reset this thing.. I have read NUMEROUS times that you just hold down the vol down, center of the D pad, and the power button while the phone is turned off nad a message will come up asking you to hit the vol UP to hard reset.... well.... thats so not working for me. I have tried the power button, I have tried the reset button, I have pulled out the battery held the power vol dwn center d pad nd had my wife put in the battery as I held the buttons... NOTHING IS WORKING!! Man, on my Omnia it was so easy... Settings>system>hard reset.... is there a cab I can install or something? I have used the clear all storage, but im not sure that is doing what I want. I am wanting the phone to be reverted back to the VERRY begining. as in, touch screen to set up device, now tap these dots to calibrate screen, yadda yadda yadda... I am flashing my phone about every day, some days multiple times... still trying to find that PERFECT rom for me... (god if only I could find a good guide on how to cook...) I just wish that I could hard reset a couple times after I flashed just to make sure that there are no lingering ghosts from the prievious rom.

Can some one PLEASE help me out?

SEARCH!

Ok now that I got it out of my system. Yes, all the google links are wrong. I found the answer on this site.

1 turn phone off (not to sleep). Hold the power button down for a few seconds and will ask if you want to power off the phone or pull the battery and reinstall it.

2 hold volume down, insert the stylus into the reset whole and then hit the power button.

You can always go into settings and use clear storage too.

The ppcgeeeks kitchen community is very helpful and has a guide on cooking and what you want or dont want can be changed VERY easy!

I know the clear storage works on mine, I just forgot to mention 1234.

I guess there are older phones that work with the D pad to reset. Mine never did. I can't find the link now but the volume down, reset and then power one works for my TP.

got it... dpad and hold the reset. thanks guys. gonna find that article now on cooking... thats my next project. :) been using Scrosslers kitchen last few days, but I dont want to be limited to just whats in that. I want to add a few things that I have found and remove a few that he offered that I dont use.

Once again, thanks for the help.

The only way i can "hard reset" is through the software options - can not do it with hardware.

I've tried a lot of different ways and nothing as well. Never been able to since i got the phone!

Re: I so cant hard reset my Verizon touch pro...
 

I have three Sprint TP's ported to Verizon service & they are damn near impossible to hard reset with the hardware buttons. I don't get why this is such a PITA, but it most definitely is.

Using the clear mem option is not really an option for me as it resets all the EPST settings & then they all need to be redone to get it back on VZ service (hard resetting with the buttons does not do that)

I needed to hard reset one of them two days ago. Half the time I just reflash the ROM again as opposed to an actual hard reset, but this time I wanted to reset. I must have done the button combination 25 times in a row before it finally worked. I swear I did EXACTLY the same thing every time, but on about the 30th try it worked............

I've had troubles doing a hard reset on my Pro before as well. You just have to ensure that you are not hitting any of the directional buttons on the side of the center key. With the phone turned off, I was managing to "fat finger" the hard reset, and holding in one of the directional buttons along with the center key (and the volume down button) - and therefore never getting the hard reset done.

That is EXACTLY what I was doing the other night, I think it worked on about the 28th try............

Re: I so cant hard reset my Verizon touch pro...
 

not sure if it will work on your Diamond but for the TP all you have to do is press down on the OK(center button of the pad) and hold down while you press and hold the soft reset button. press and hold both and wait for the gray screen to pop up.
