Important Make sure to back up important data you have on the device before you perform a factory data reset."

Worked on my Lobster which was hanging on windows startup screen.
WITH PHONE SWITCHED OFF
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).
5. If instructions don't appear on the screen, repeat steps 1 to 4.

How to a hard reset with the keyboard?
when I press power button the ppc it blocks at written "windows mobile 6.1", if I attend some minute, it exits to me outside a shielded white screen whit this word: "the device is unable to boot because either you have turned off the device incorrectly or tried to install an application from untrusted source.Press SEND to reset your device or press any other button to cancel. This operation will delete all your personal data and restore the device to its factory default settings.
if I press SEND key it does not succeed nothing

Strange.
Very strange! After doing the procedures, the rose ask to do the reboot and stop in logo of HTC. I had never happened me in any pda.
Now what i do?
You have to wait about 4-5 minutes then Rose will reboot again and will install the additional software.
1. From the Home screen, press the Start button.
2. Press More
3. Select Accessories
4. Select Clear Storage
5. You will be prompted to enter a code, enter 1234
I had the same probleem, my HTC S740 freezes after reboot with the HTC logo screen. I tried the follwoing and it worked:
- press and hold vol down and the navigation key
- pres and release directly the power botton
- a messege will apear, press the navigation key.
- the device will reset to factory settings
- a messege appear asking to press vol up to restart
- device will restart and begin reinstalling the software, reboot after then.
May i ask what are the applications (that came installed with the phone) that are gone with the hard resetting ?
Thanks
HTC s740 backup before reset
hi...i would like to know if there is anything one can do to back the information up before resetting the Phone as i have crucial Data i cant affort to loose. PLS HELP!?
There are few backup softwares which can backup almost everything on your phone, and you can easily recover it after hard reset. I personally use Sprite Backup, which is probably the best one.
there is nothing in the wiki or anywhere that explains how to hard reset (unles i just missed it somewhere)
Not sure if they apply to the CDMA but here are the ones from the Wiki:
http://wiki.xda-developers.com/index.php?pagename=Raphael_For_Beginners
I use a variation of those on my GSM RAPH, try #1 to see if it works for your CDMA RAPH:
1) Hard Reset
- Turn off
- Press & hold Action
- Press & hold Volume Down
- Turn on
- Wait for TriColor Bootloader and release buttons
- Follow onscreen instructions
2) Bootloader for Flashing new NBH
- Turn off
- Press & hold Volume Down
- Turn on
- Wait for TriColor Bootloader and release button
- Start ROM Flash utility on PC. If flashing a RAPHIMG.NBH on SDCard, flash begins automatically.
HTH,
For my sprint tp, I've found the easiest way is with the device turned off, I press the vol. down then the center of dpad while holding both then press the on/off button holding all three untill the onscreen instructions appear.
this thing will NOT hard reset, its about to go HARD against the wall LOL
I get a window that says
"warning"
power will be turned off,
and you may lose data if
you have not saved them.
Do you want to continue?
if i hit yes it just rebbots, and obviously if i hit no it does nothing
just cleared storage and will try after to hard reset.
NOPE still not working, im holding the vol down and the enter key then pressing the power button on top and holding all three down and i still get the same message.
even tried it with vol down/dpad/power and noada zip zilch zero

Do you happen to have a Verizon Touch Pro, if so the only way to Hard Reset is to do Clear Storage under Settings, System.
Can someone please set out in easy to follow steps how I can safely reset my Streak 5 to a factory fresh state.
Many thanks!
go to Settings - Privacy - Factory data reset and push Reset phone.
Turn it off. When off, push vol up and vol down, and turn ir up. When Dell logo appears, release power button but continue pressing vol up and vol down. Then, you'll see a menu, and there is FACTORY RESET.
Please use the Q&A Forum for questions Thanks

In reply to my question on factory reset you said 'Turn it off. When off, push vol up and vol down, and turn ir up.'
What do you mean by 'and turn ir up?'
He meant to say "turn it on".
Turn the Streak off.
While holding down the volume up and volume down buttons, press and hold the power button until the Dell logo appears.
Release the power button, but continue holding the volume buttons until Dell's recovery menu appears on the screen.
Using the volume buttons, select option 1, factory reset, then press the camera button.
Follow the instructions on the screen to reset.
Note: this this requires a stock recovery image to work. If the device has Streakmod Recovery or Clockworkmod, replace them with a stock recovery image before attempting to reset.
My phone started to act up after i went from cm7 to 9, maybe i did not do it right. Today, i went back to cm7 to stop the problems, but i had the same exact problems and it only got worse. I tried to sbf back to i think 2.3.4, and i have done a sbf before and did the samething i did last time. Now, i am stuck in a boot loop. I think the problem is that when i did the sbf it had no details about my phone. Please tell me what i should do.
Did you wipe data? I have never sbf'd but I've read that bootloops are common and wiping data usually fixes it.
From Moonshadow:
17. Whether or not your phone boot loops at this time, I HIGHLY recommend performing a factory reset from the Android Recovery menu. This is also the process of fixing the boot loop.
a. Pull the battery.
b. Plug the battery back in.
c. Power up your phone by pressing and holding the VOLUME DOWN BUTTON and then pressing the POWER BUTTON until you see the words FASTBOOT (in white) at the top of the DX2’s screen. This should only take about 3-5 seconds.
d. Press the VOLUME DOWN BUTTON 7 times, or until you see the words ANDROID RECOVERY.
e. Press the VOLUME UP BUTTON and the screen will add “Entering Android Recovery” under the words ANDROID RECOVERY.
f. In about 5-7 seconds, you should see a white triangle with a yellow exclamation point in the middle and a little android down and to the right of the triangle.
g. Press both volume buttons at once.
h. The Android system recovery utility (second line of text) will come up.
i. Press the VOLUME DOWN BUTTON until “wipe data/factory reset” is highlighted.
j. Press the power button to start the process.
k. Once the wipe data/factory reset process has completed, press the VOLUME UP BUTTON until reboot is highlighted.
99% of the time I have not wiped data and cache after an sbf I boot loop and I am guessing that's the issue just pop into android recovery wipe those two and reboot it will take a few minutes for the first boot as usual but should be good after that
