my hard reset button doesn't work. should I open up the puppy and see if something is bent inside?
HI. YES. IT IS A GOOD IDEAL. BUT BEFORE YOU DO SO, TRY TO RESET THE BATTERY HOLD FIRST. WAIT 1 MINUTES AND PRESS THE RESET AGAIN. AFTER IT COMPLETE BOOT, TRY THE HARD RESET BUTTON AGAIN IF IT WORK OR NOT.
robinsac, the hard reset is not immediate, one push disconnects the battery from the electrical devices, the next push reconnects.
thanks, when I push the hard reset button, nothing happens at all.

if you by this mean that you press the tip of your stylus into the hole in the left part of button of the xda once then yes
then try to turn it on using the turn on / off button
I tried, but it did not turn on, when I put it to cradle led is green, but when I get it out of cradle I do not see any light on led. I tried to power it on pushing that button, but nothing happens
is anybody able to help me?
If it neither works in the cradle or on battery power then I would suspect a component on the charging circuit has died or your battery is kaput, by doing a reset it should switch on automatically.
but holding power button and doing soft reset I could get to wallaby bootloader, so battery does work. any other suggestions?
If holding power and rest works then the power button is functional, have you attempted to flash the xda before this happened? What happens if you push the green telephone button bottom left of your xda? Have you tried a hard reset, using the unscrewed top half of stylus to push once in the tiny hole bottom right of xda, leave for 1 minute then push once more. You will lose all data but your data isnt much good if you cant switch on.
yes, I tried to hard reset it several times, but had no result. now I am trying to wait for several minutes during hard reset. when I press green button - nothing happens. I did not try to flash my XDA before those problems appeared. no it did not turn on even after 5 minutes... :-( please help!!!!
I had installed KSE TrueFax 2 and this power issue happened to me. Could not switch it on at the XDA at all, and had to so a soft-reset to get it to switch on. After I uninstalled the fax sowftware, everything worked okay again.
so you can power phone on pressing button and dping soft reset. yes? what do you see? wallaby bootloader? what to do next to run operational system? I just see 4 color stripes and below GSM OK, that is all, what should I press?
dmjass, it seems to me that you have lost or corrupted your rom, if you havent been flashing the xda its beyond me why this should happen. I would download a new rom, not radio stack, just the rom and use the sd card method of flashing, this should restore your system if the hardware is all ok, you have a working bootloader and an intact gsm stack so give it a try as you have nothing to lose by doing this.
I think trying to do the SD-card ROM update is your best bet as well.
If it turns out that you cannot get your unit running again, I would be interested in purchasing it for testing purposes and replacement parts.
Good luck!

thank you friends for your advices, but please let me know how to perform flashing rom by sd card. I will appreciate all your help, please describe that process in details. ok? thank you.
PDA bad ROM?
I am experiencing the same problem after having dropped it off my belt clip. Now the unit just says "Welcome to T---Mobile, G324e4 // R6.25.02 // 4.01.16 and none of the buttons work except for the boot stylus ones. Can anyone help?
I sold an old XDA to a friend, which was in perfect condition. However, a few days later he sent me this email. Do you guys have any tips for diagnosis when I take it back?
I left it off all night last night (waited a whole night before pressing the hard reset button a second time). But when i inseted the SIM card today it was still telling me that "the phone is off. Turn it on and try again." I keep pressing the green phone button and it either doesn't react, or tells me 'operation failed' or it just hangs. It also hangs if i want to get into the phone settings.
All this happened after I changed some connection settings and i said 'yes'
when it asked me if i wanted to soft reset to update the settings. sigh.

Is it possible he changed the band setting to 900/1900 in the phone settings? I can't think of anything else off the top of my head.
Please help him (and me) get this XDA back into working order! Thanks

He could try entering bootloader, reset and power switch at same time, then push the button below the antenna, choose his gsm freqency from there. He could also try clicking the signal icon at top right of screen and switch it on from there. Also are you sure he is doing a hard reset, this is carried out by inserting the top half of unscrewed stylus in the hole below the headphone socket, push once, wait a minute, push once more.
why not try to do a hard-reset!
Hi all
I have a Lobster 700tv phone which I think is brilliant, but I'm looking to upgrade the software from mobile 5 to mobile 6. I have windows xp on my pc is this possible?
The reason I'm asking is that my phone is somehow stuck in headset mode (even without the headset plugged in) and I can't figure out on how to get it back to normal. Even when the phone rings, I get the ring tone, but have to plug in the headset to answer the call. (I've done a cold reboot and it's done no good). I took it to a phone repair shop yesterday and they've said that it's a software error.
Has anyone else had the same sort of problems?
Or if anyone can advise on a possible solution (apart from throwing it out of the window!) I'd be grateful.
Thanks
If its a software issue a hard reset should bring you back im not sure what a cold reboot is so you may have tried this, also never heard of your phone so i wouldnt know ho to hard reset. If hard reset doesnt work then you will probably have to flash a new rom, possibly to wm6 if you can find the rom.My advice is lots of searching and reading... good luck
wm6 won't come soon to my and your lobby's screen
it requires a LOT of time to be done, special tools, extracted ROM for the operation and so on, (btw the phone isn't very commercial, wide-spread and so on, which is demotivating programmers)
ANYWAY, now on the topic:
you can try the CLEAR STORAGE option
found in accessories, it does almost fully hard-reset the phone, but preserves DAB app (I read somewhere, that hard resetting did remove the app, but I'm not sure now...)
anyway, here's how to do the hard reset:
1. Press and hold soft1 and soft2 keys (i.e. menu keys).
2. Press and hold power button for around 1 to 1.5 seconds. Release power button. Keep holding both soft keys.
3. After a while, black screen should show instructions asking user to press '0' key to reset to factory default.
4. Press '0' within the timeout period (which is very brief).
If instructions don't appear on the screen, repeat steps 1 to 4.
it'll show the boot screen, and afterwards a black background with the typings, quickly press 0 to reset, sit and wait
as usual, backup all contacts, data, apps, stuff like that, and then do the job

Hi there Prodigyfied,
Greetings from cloudy and overcast England.
Thanks again for the info.
I've tried what you've suggested, and it's still the same. Do you or anyone else have any other ideas?
Thanks
Paula
Sorry I didn't see this thread sooner!
it is a common fault with HTC phones and is a hardware issue - here is one of the MANY threads on modaco
http://www.modaco.com/content/HTC-T...aCo-com/229405/C500-Stuck-on-Headset-profile/
Should have enough suggestions to get you working!
Good luck.
Thank you
Thanks Confusious,
The suggestion in that other thread has done the trick.
You've made my day
Thank you.

So by accident I launched a CHT file from my SD Card which essentially crashed sense. No biggie, did a hard reset and thought I would be okay.
Wrong.
When I hold down the end key (to either load johcos' end key or even if i uninstall it) my screen is dead. The hard keys work, but not the screen.
Anyone have a suggestion? I have been using tmo-us stock rom without problems until yesterday when this started. I realize I could flash a new rom and maybe it is time...but tis very annoying this is happening after a hard reset.
Thanks.
still not working after flashing energy rom
argh.
flashed energy.
same problem.
now have to work...but any suggestions? my long hard key is dead and freezes my phone. hard reset/ new rom did nothing.
thanks.
same with android
so now anytime my phone goes to lock screen the screen stops functioning though the hardkeys work just fine.
thought i would try android and be savvy...but wrong.
same problem.
any ideas? i am ready to take a hammer to this damn thing...
This recently happened to my GF's phone, She said she was just playing a game one day, it froze so she popped the battery out and rebooted. Now every time she uses the End/Power ( red ) hard button to shutoff or wake up the device, the screen stays locked and won't respond.
I have tried soft reset, hard reset, different lock screens and what not. The only solution I found, besides sending it in, is to let the screen shut off by itself, and then wake it up with the Call/Send ( green ) hard button.
You can also try using the End/Power hard button to lock it, but then as long as you wake it with the Call/Send hard button it should be fine.
It has worked every time now. Try it and see if it helps! It's a little annoying but it saves money and insurance!
Going to repost this in all those previous listed threads to see if it helps anyone else.
Good Luck!
hey there,
damn im so nervous right now.
ive not got too much time right now to fix my smartphone but I need it urgently.
i have a s3 with gorgoid custom rom, which i flashed like 4 month ago.
since then I DID NOT make ANY change to the rom or anything. no flashes etc.
I just used it.
now I just wanted to write someone back on whatsapp.
and suddely: smartphone goes off and on again. but I only see the first s3-logo: http://media2.giga.de/2013/10/Samsung-Galaxy-S3-Teaser-Bootloop.jpg
then it turns off and then on again.
...bootloop...
why so suddenly whithout any change to the system?
and even more: what can I do to rapidly fix it? at best without loosing any data........
thanks a lot!
edit: when inserting the battery back in it again, the s3 starts after 3 seconds automatically.
when I try to put in the battery and then quickly hold down volup-home-power button, I shortly see the recovery menu (I have cwm 6 or so) but the phone reboots quickly after it...
Reflash your existing rom, same version, don't wipe data. Clear cache and dalvik, try rebooting.
If that doesn't work then you'll have to factory reset, or may have bigger issues like efs corrupt.
edit: your power button is broken, try wiggling it or replace it.
I cant even get into recovery, thats the f***ing big problem always when inserting the battery, the phone starts itself.
isnt it normal that the phone starts itself when inserting the bootloop or how do you assume my power button is broken?!
and how to "fix" it at least so that it doesnt start itself anymore!? I cant break it off the phone... because then I cant start my phone anymore...
OMG and already fixed it.
what I did:
let the battery out for 15min.
in the meantime tried to rattle the power button a bit (to loosen it in case it somehow stuck and thus pressing constantly).
with 3 fingers pressing vol-up + power button + home button, then with another finger inserting the battery.
that lead me into recovery which then worked.
cleared cache and dalvik cache.
system reboot.
works now
PUH!!!!!!!
Next time if this problem occur again, try to "playing" around with your power button (like push harder three or five time).
I think your power button got stuck, that is why your phone always looping around like in the link you gave.
