How to Hard Reset — HTC Touch HD
The HTC Touch HD is a 2008 Microsoft Windows Mobile 6.1 Professional device powered by the Qualcomm MSM7201A with 288MB and 288MB | 512MB internal storage. It features a 3.8", TFT resistive touchscreen, 65K colors, 480.0x800.0 display and is available in Black.
The Touch HD is equipped with a Removable Li-Ion 1350 mAh battery, a 5 MP, CIF@30fps main camera. The device uses a Mini-SIM configuration. It weighs 146 g.
Hard Reset on the HTC Touch HD works differently than it does on Android, since this platform uses its own menus and terminology. Follow the steps below, written specifically for this device rather than adapted from Android instructions.
On this device this is just a forced restart/power-cycle — it does not erase data by itself. See Factory Reset for the data-erasing option.
Windows Mobile devices generally don't have a hardware button combination that wipes data the way Android's Recovery Mode does
The closest equivalent is the in-menu Factory Reset described in the Factory Reset guide below
If the device is completely frozen and won't respond to the Factory Reset menu, remove the battery for 30 seconds (if removable) to force a restart, then try again
Exact steps vary by exact model and firmware version — check the printed manual or the manufacturer's support site if these don't match your device
