Hello m8s,
When the Tmobile Dash is powered off... press and hold the 2 softkeys (the 2 buttons above the home button and back button) and then power button for 1-2 seconds.... and then release the power button. After that just press the Call (green) Button to perform a full format.... This is known to help with phones freezed at startup logo. Make sure the battery is fully charged. Or else you will fail to complete the full format.
Best Regards,

that does not work for my dash, I know this works for other htc but dash maybe different to hard reset, how to? tnx.
ok i found 2 options from
http://www.htcwiki.com/page/The+Dash+FAQ?t=anon
OPTION 1
Press Start -> Accessories -> Clear Storage, press enter to launch, you will be prompted to type "1234" and to press Enter. If you do this you will lose all contents and the Dash will be restored to its original configuration. It takes about 5 minutes for it do this and reboot.
If you are locked up and can't get to the Clear Storage utility, turn the phone off; hold down the two softkey menu select buttons (above the home and <- buttons); press power on while still holding the buttons down and follow the prompts on the screen. Timing is critical on the latter option, so if you miss it once, try again.
OPTION 2
(THIS IS WHAT T-MOB TECH SUPPORT WILL ADVISE YOU TO DO)
MASTER RESET PROCEDURES UPPDATED ON 7/23/07
I had to follow the correct steps twice before the reset took effect so don't give up after the first try. Start with Dash powered off.
1. PRESS AND HOLD BOTH SOFT KEYS.
2. WHILE HOLDING DOWN SOFT KEYS, PRESS AND RELEASE THE POWER BUTTON, WAIT 3-5 SEC. (PHONE SHOULD POWER ITSELF ON BY DOING THIS)
3. RELEASE THE TWO KEYS SOFT KEYS.
4. WHEN SCREEN ON DASH LOOKS LIKE IT'S IN DOS FORMAT, PRESS SEND (GREEN ANSWER KEY)
works great. thanks tested 100%
