[Guide] Android Phones: Hard Reset

[jepetu]

I've reseted the MB501 but this phone is hardlocked (user entered to many times wrong subsidy code) so phone now dont detect ANY SIM CARD and don't ask for 'special code' for unlock whe you put a non-tmobile sim.

I've handled to bring the special code screen with this code #073887* but phone don't accept unlock code anymore. Always says unsuccessfully unlock try.

So until now no solution for hardlocked CLIQ XT Motorolas.

My two cents, hope someone can find a way to unlock this phone when is hardlocked.

4. Press and hold the Volume Down key
5. A yellow exclamation will appear on the display. Wait until a menu with options will appear.
6. Using the touch screen select Factory Reset and press OK.

That's all.

How long does it take for the exclamation mark to switch to the menu screen? I've been waiting minutes...
Do I continue holding down the power button until eeeverything is done? or can I let go after the exclamation mark appears?
same for the down button. when can I let that go?

Thanks!

Another option at step 5 instead of waiting for menu, is to enter " ALT W " after you see yellow exclamation.

How to hard reset the HTC Desire

We show you how to factory reset the HTC Desire to clear all data and restore its original settings

Published on Mar 18, 2010

The HTC Desire is highly customizable and you have been hard at work tweaking it to your liking, but now the fun is over and you want to return it to its factory settings again. Here, we show you how to hard reset the HTC Desire with step by step instructions.
Please note that all data will be deleted from the HTC Desire as a result of this procedure. This process does NOT delete data stored on the microSD card. We recommend backing up all of your personal data before proceeding.

1. Turn the power off. If your HTC Desire is frozen, pull the battery out and reinsert it
2. Hold the Volume Down button
3. Press and release the Power button
4. You are now presented with a menu that allows for Fastbook, Recovery, Clear Storage, and Simlock
5. Select Clear Storage by pressing the Volume Down button
6. Press and release the Power button
7. Now simply confirm your decision: Volume Up for YES and Volume Down for NO

If you selected YES, all data including third-party applications will be deleted from the HTC Desire. Once the wipe is complete, the phone will reboot to its factory fresh state.

How do you enter " ALT W " when there is no keypad? It is a touch screen phone.

How can you enter " ALT W " with no keypad? Obviously, you have not seen this phone.

Hi

The Reset procedure for Moto BLUR (MB300) differs from other Motorola ANDROID Models.

1. Power off phone.
   2. Hold camera button and power on phone at the same time.
   3. Release the camera button when prompted to.
   4. You will see a message screen telling you to press the up or down volume button
   5. Press  and HOLD the down volume key (ignore message 'Volume Up Key Pressed')
   6. When triangle and phone screen appears
   7. Press on the screen just above the back key
   8. You will now see the "Motorola system recovery" menu
At this point you will have three choices: 

   1. reboot system now [Menu+Back]
   2. apply ssdcrad:update.zip [Alt+S]
   3. wipedata/factory reset [Alt+W]
You can simply tap an item to select it. 

At the bottom of the screen you can select OK to apply your choice from the menu. 

There is also an opportunity to select Hide on the bottom left, I don't know what that does (I tried it and nothing happened). 

Selecting Wipe data/factory reset and tapping Ok and the screen changes to a box and a phone (Get it - out of the box) and you see what is happening on the phone. 
pick 2 
-- Wiping data...
Formatting DATA:...
Formatting CACHE:...
Data Wipe Complete. 

Press Menu+Back to reboot 

pressing Menu+Back did nothing for me so I tapped 'reboot system now' on the menu and Ok. 

The phone restarted and took me through the setup prompts.
