Hard and Soft Reset Question

[imdarkside]

Just did a complete wipe of the phone (std oem vzw rom) by clear storage in settings system tab to start from scratch so i left the card in to see what would happen. nothing happened to the data on the card as best i can tell. i did have some programs loaded to the card and the programs are still on the card but dont show in the programs listing.

The programs must be reloaded. When you install something, the icons, shortcuts, and registry entries are stored on the device itself. Since those have been erased, the phone doesn't know that there are programs on the SD card

quick question cuz im kind of retarded

when i do i hard reset, it says press action button to reset, all other buttons cancel

Does it say ACTION button or ENTER key? What type of device do you have? when you do a hard reset on a vogue, it asks you to press the ENTER key, which is the center key (middle pad). I've done it countless times and when it is done, you press the PHONE key to finish.

It's a good idea to remove the SD when flashing any ROM.
