Hold Volume UP + Lock key, Softreset, wait for confirmation, press SEND (Call) key

It might take 2-3 times before the device finds the inputs!

-- edit --

Hold the buttons until you see the format screen. Just hold the buttons, softreset the device while holding the buttons and keep the buttons pressed :D

Tell us if it worked?

Unfortunately this way is not working. This is not a big problem, because I managed to run the phone. However, it is strange why none of the methods of HR is not working on my phone.

1. Test the buttons if they're working seperately on WM.

2. Try it multiple times, as it's most likely you missed the combo.

3. Did you flash your phone? It could be you corrupted your bootloader..

Could you please change your topic title to 'Hard reset (hardware) not working'?

It's easier for people to know what the topic's about :D

Thanks!

1. Buttons working properly. I tested it many times.

2. I tried for several hours :D

3. Yes. I use the Secany's ROM. How to check the bootloader?

At first, thanks for changing the topic title, it will help many users find what they need!

Second, I dont know how to check the bootloader.

Strange part is. I just checked if the combo's worked on my B7610.. it's not working at all :(

Trying to get some workaround done..

Have you had success?

I was trying to HR mine too (Win 6.1 stuck at bootup after wrong dialpad-skin installation).

In all possible described ways - without any luck.

Cheers

I've problems with a hard reset also. I wanted to change my rom from 6.1 to 6.5 with Octans (vodafone, so I can't do it with NPS). Then octans got stucked. Now It stys in the downloadmode and does't seem to work anymore?

Never mind. I got it to work and now I've 6.5!!! ;)

I came back to WM 6.1, and this method "pres button "Volume UP" + lock key and hold it until it ask you for Hard reset or cancel..." works now :)

For those with no luck so far:

HR on my Omnia Pro works with pressed Lock and W&L Button (instead Vol Up).

Don't ask me why, it just works.

  1. Press Lock and W&L Button (do not release)
  2. reset the Device w. Stylus
  3. at the first Samsung Boot Logo press Call and End Call Buttons for 0,5 sec.
  4. voila - the "do yout want to format" Question appears immediately

Confirmed. Work like a charm on my device. :) (WM 6.5, PDA: B7610NXXIK2 CSC: B7610NXEUIK2 PHONE: B7610XXIK1)

But You have to remember to not release Lock and W&L Buttons during whole procedure, and to press Call and End Call Buttons imediately after reset

Thank You

Absolutely right, don't wait for the Samsung logo to appear! It is a four finger salute!

Great tip!

thanks a lot for the tip

Is the first time i'm able to hard reset by hardware on this device.

As said before just have to hold the w&l and Lock buttons before soft reset and as soon as it vibrate press send and end buttons without releasing the W&l and lock buttons

You don't even have to press reset button. The simpliest way: Turn off the phone. Press and hold "w&l" and "lock" buttons and then press "call start" and "call end" buttons together. The phone will turn on (do not release buttons just wait) and after a few seconds device format screen will appear.

dial *2767*3855# can hard reset ur device. But make sure u have backup all ur data as it will directly HR after dialing.

But you have to be able to normally turn your phone on. The "hardware keys" hard reset is handy when the system is faulty and the phone doesn't boot up.

You don't have to press the buttons before reseting with stylus...I usually place the phone on the table, softreset it with stylus and right after it press lock+W&L buttons with one hand and green+red with the other...simple...
