good post, very usefull post

hi subrata,

if you also post soft reset that will more power in thread.

like this,

HTC Dream Soft reset



A soft reset clears the device memory and closes running applications. Perform a soft reset when your device hangs or freezes, is running slower than normal, or an application is not performing properly. If a soft reset is performed when applications are running, unsaved information will be lost.
To perform a soft reset
1. Remove the back cover.
2. Remove the battery for a few seconds.
3. Re-install the battery, replace the back cover, then turn on the device

To remove the back cover
1. Make sure the device is turned off.
2. Hold the device sideways with the control buttons on the right.
3. Slide the screen panel up to reveal the keyboard and the back cover release tab.
4. Gently push down the release tab with your finger until the back cover disengages from the device.
5. Pull the back cover out then set it aside.

thanks your great work

how to make hard reset huawei u8100 adroid

[Zukison14]

How can I make a hard reset on this model? I have done the following:

1. Holding the Camera button while turning on your phone,
2. When prompted hit the Volume-Down rocker button to go into Recovery Mode.
3. After you get into Recovery Mode,

But I cannot do the following, because this model does not have a keyboard.

4. Press ALT+L to reset, then Menu+Back to reboot.

I need to hard reset this phone because it is not reading the sim card anymore. The client tried the wrong subsidy code many times.
