Hi guys,
I upgraded my phone a while back using c_shekhar's excellent ROM. I've just come back to using the phone again and after charging the phone up from completely dead I now get no buttons on the phone dialler skin. If you use the stylus where the buttons should be you do hear the keypad tones, just there are no visible buttons. I've tried several things, such as changing themes and resetting the phone (although I cant remember how to hard reset the phone) but none of this has worked. Anyone had this, or have any ideas? I did search the forum and found loads of posts on buttons and screens but nothing to help me out.
Cheers
There is a soft button (bottom left) when you are on the dial page that says keypad. Is that still there? I assume you have already checked this and pressed it, but perhaps not. It may have been renamed due to the skin you are using, removed, or perhaps you changed it yourself at some stage accidentally.
Let us know if this helps.
There is no keypad soft button. However, if I just hit random places where the buttons should be, and then press the physical call button, the phone dials the number and then the keypad soft button appears (although just the text appears, not the button itself).
Is there a way to hard reset this phone with the WM2005 ROM? I have tried what used to work on the factory installed O2 ROM (holding the power button and using the stylus to press the reset button), but this doesn't seem to do the trick as all my details and info are still there when it fires up again.
I have also taken the battery out and left it for a couple of days to let the backup battery die too. This hasn't helped.
it appers that the dialer is corrupted..try to hard reset else try other Dialer skins..search the forum's for them
I have a Verizon Touch Pro and the phone wont boot into windows. I tried this but it wont hard reset...
"With the device turned on, press and hold the VOLUME DOWN and CENTER buttons, then press the RESET button with the stylus tip.
Continue pressing the RESET, VOLUME DOWN and CENTER buttons until screen."
I called customer support they said only way to hard reset was thru windows - Clear Storage.
Anyone have any ideas.
I can get into the bootloader fine. Dont really feel like going through a replacement.
Nevermind, just found it.
Instructions from the user manual
1. Turn off the power.
2. Press and hold the ENTER (Center) key, and then press the POWER key.
3. Release the POWER key, but continue pressing the ENTER key until you see the following message on
the screen.....
Cant believe a tier 2 tech at verizon couldnt find this.

actually i work for verizon and i bought the touchpro the first day it was released and I had to do a hard reset shortly after i received it because of all the tinkering i was doing with it. anyways, the only way to hard reset the xv6850 is to do the clear storage process. the method of holding down the buttons and doing a soft reset WILL NOT WORK on the verizon version. yes and i am very aware of the idiocy that is our technical staff. anyways hope this helps.
I'm trying to figure something out and I don't yet own a touch pro-the answer may effect my buying.
After you preform a hard reset and go through the screen calibration, does the ROM install any software? I mean does it give you an auto prompt that says something like customizing your device? If you've ever hard reset a xv6800 or used a custom UC rom you'll know what I mean.
I have some theories about making the device faster or removing some stuff based on the way our xv6800 was. Mnasr87, do you know the contents of the Verizon extROM?

Correct way is to hold down the center key and press in the reset button.

i'm sorry i don't know what the contents of the extROM is but i do know that it does go through the customization screen after doing a hard reset. i hope that helps in the process of hacking the touch pro pm me if you come up with anything, tc.
open clear storage in settings/systems and enter 1 2 3 4
it will restore to the original rom

Thanks, I posted a thread about bypassing customizations to possibly speed up the verizon rom. Usually Verizon has a couple cabs that monitor registry changes and slow things down. But if you bypass the customizations I still don't know what else there is missing (good and bad.)
But knowing I can bypass customizations and that there are now custom roms is a good thing! Now, I need to start begging my parents.

this works for the xv6850, the verizon touch pro. but technically you should simply tap the power button and not hold it down too long and don't let go of the center button until you see the hard reset screen.

This was quick easy and painless. Thank you. I was trying to do it the other way listed online which was not working.
That was phone upside down hold volume down press the enter key and then hold down the reset button. This was almost impossible to do with only 2 hands lol. Also it wouldn't work.
when the phone is off, jus hold center and volume down then hold power. make sure there all being held down.
Out of all methods listed, the only two that work for my Verizon XV6850 are hold the center button and reset button, and of course the clear storage icon in system settings. Just tried them all. The other ones just bring up a screen for completely powering off the device.

This is also the ONLY way my Verizon TP hard resets as well. However, I was flashing my friends vzw TP and his won't do it any way but the clear storage way? What gives? Whats causing the difference?
Just as a couple of the guys said before..... For a Verizon Touch Pro not sure about anything else..... but a simple power off...... press and hold the center button... power up and BAM!
all that holding the volume button down....press the reset.... double tapping is totally wrong.....
What in the world is the Center button?
also just wondering if there is another way to HR besides going to settings and clear storage does it do anything different?
hard resetting on Verizon
i think that they disable the way with the down arrow and the other stuff i think that the only way that you can do it on a Verizon phone is by doing it with the whole clear memory thing and 1234 or if you can find a rom that works and so far i have only found one rom that see to works right . and also the one in the manual doesn't seem to work either
I found this thread looking to hard reset my xv6850. Tried everything, but only one method worked for me. I figured I would post here for others trying to hard reset:
with the power on
hold down the center button
press the reset button
btw ... rom ver 1.08.605.4

Hi,
Just swapped my note to a Lumia. Running 12070.
I got this issue that the screen don't turn itself off when i leave the phone alone.
The time is set to one minute but nothing happens after that. If i reboot the phone it will work a couple of times as usual, but then after a bit it is the same again.
I have done several factory resets withot any luck. Btw there is something really strange with the factory reset. When i start the phone up after the reset it remembers my Nokia account name? How could that be so? It's like the reset isn't quite resetting everything.
Any ideas?
Thanks.
EDIT:
*facepalm to myself* found the error...
The camera button was half pressed down by the softcover. Now the screen functions normally
But the mystery with remembering my Nokia account after factory reset is still a big ???
soft reset with hardware button, or hard reset with phone menu?
if you really want to hard reset it, try this, hardware method:
presse volume down+power+camera 5 sec together, wait the vibration.
then stop pressing only power button but keep pressure on volume - and camera, wait reboot
tell us

Actually i have tried both methods with the same result.
Very wierd.
Hi guys,
I have a major problem with my Lumia. It has the newest firm ware (12220) but for some reason it started doing strange. If the screen locks now (if you press the button on the side of the phone, or wait a while on this it does automatically) it just does not react at any tough on the screen. Then I have to reset it by using the power button and the volume down button so it restarts again. This keeps happening every time. So I tried the soft reset, hard reset but unfortunately nothing works. Is there a possibility to install the software again, maybe that works?! If yes, how do I do that?!
...same issue
Hello!
I have the exact same issue right now. Did you ever find any solution?
Kind regards,
Peter

Hi,
You got an old man noob here.
I got an Android Smart Rearview mirror from Ali express. It worked fine until I did a software update.
It is now stuck in a loop doing the "Optimizing Apps" thing. I have left it run for days trying to let it work its way though, but no luck.
I want to do a factory reset on it, but the only hard buttons are the power button, and a reset button.
I have tried to hold both buttons, just the reset button, just the power button, and randomly pushing both of them.
Any ideas would be great.
Thanks
