there is nothing in the wiki or anywhere that explains how to hard reset (unles i just missed it somewhere)
Not sure if they apply to the CDMA but here are the ones from the Wiki:
http://wiki.xda-developers.com/index.php?pagename=Raphael_For_Beginners
I use a variation of those on my GSM RAPH, try #1 to see if it works for your CDMA RAPH:
1) Hard Reset
- Turn off
- Press & hold Action
- Press & hold Volume Down
- Turn on
- Wait for TriColor Bootloader and release buttons
- Follow onscreen instructions
2) Bootloader for Flashing new NBH
- Turn off
- Press & hold Volume Down
- Turn on
- Wait for TriColor Bootloader and release button
- Start ROM Flash utility on PC. If flashing a RAPHIMG.NBH on SDCard, flash begins automatically.
HTH,
For my sprint tp, I've found the easiest way is with the device turned off, I press the vol. down then the center of dpad while holding both then press the on/off button holding all three untill the onscreen instructions appear.
this thing will NOT hard reset, its about to go HARD against the wall LOL
I get a window that says
"warning"
power will be turned off,
and you may lose data if
you have not saved them.
Do you want to continue?
if i hit yes it just rebbots, and obviously if i hit no it does nothing
just cleared storage and will try after to hard reset.
NOPE still not working, im holding the vol down and the enter key then pressing the power button on top and holding all three down and i still get the same message.
even tried it with vol down/dpad/power and noada zip zilch zero

Do you happen to have a Verizon Touch Pro, if so the only way to Hard Reset is to do Clear Storage under Settings, System.

This operation will delete all your personal data and restore the device to its factory default settings.

Strange.
Very strange! After doing the procedures, the rose ask to do the reboot and stop in logo of HTC. I had never happened me in any pda.
Now what i do?
You have to wait about 4-5 minutes then Rose will reboot again and will install the additional software.
1. From the Home screen, press the Start button.
2. Press More
3. Select Accessories
4. Select Clear Storage
5. You will be prompted to enter a code, enter 1234
I had the same probleem, my HTC S740 freezes after reboot with the HTC logo screen. I tried the follwoing and it worked:
- press and hold vol down and the navigation key
- pres and release directly the power botton
- a messege will apear, press the navigation key.
- the device will reset to factory settings
- a messege appear asking to press vol up to restart
- device will restart and begin reinstalling the software, reboot after then.
May i ask what are the applications (that came installed with the phone) that are gone with the hard resetting ?
Thanks
HTC s740 backup before reset
hi...i would like to know if there is anything one can do to back the information up before resetting the Phone as i have crucial Data i cant affort to loose. PLS HELP!?
There are few backup softwares which can backup almost everything on your phone, and you can easily recover it after hard reset. I personally use Sprite Backup, which is probably the best one.
Hey XDA! my friend is currently locked out of my LG MyTouch. The phone came out a little over a week ago so there's no forum dedicated to it yet, so I'm posting here.
She used a pattern lock and can't remember the Pattern nor her Gmail account or her password. With the past two Android phones I had, I would just Boot into recovery (Vol. Down & Power button), but this phone won't load into one. I also tried Vol. Up and Power. Nothing. I then tried both, but it went into the "S/W Upgrade" screen. Is there anyway to bypass this without having to send it back?
Thanks a lot for time guys! Hope you can help.
Hey daft
im locked out too, and cant find a way to do a factory reset :S did you solve your problem?if so..how!!
did a quick search for you. didnt render any answers. try existing methods for entering recovery mode.
1.volume down+power
2.volume up +power
volume up+down+power
the phone deff has to have a recovery system. once u get in there use the volume down button to highlight factory reset then push power
then highlight wipe data/cache and hit power. when finished reboot system now
hope this helps

also if you are familiar with adb you can navigate to adb then type adb reboot recovery

Vabeach, thanks i've already tried all of those:S
volume up and power
volume down and power
both of them dont do a thing :S
and when i try the volume up + down + power....the phone goes into S/W upgrading... could it be that i need to do the upgrade and then itll let me do the factory reset? :s
Try this. Hold volume down and power. Keep holding until the lg logo comes up. Once that goes away release both buttons

finally the t-mobile page decided to tell us how....
i tried the link but it wont let me post..so ill paste it
A master reset (factory reset) restores the original factory settings and erases all user data (including settings and downloaded content) stored in the phone's internal memory. It does not erase data stored on the SIM card or memory card (if available).
Note: If the handset is locked, frozen, or unresponsive, you can perform a master reset using the hardware keys instead of the menu.
Note: Timing is critical in pressing/releasing keys.
To perform a master reset using hardware keys, follow these steps:
Back up all necessary data. See: Preparing for a master reset on Android.
Turn off the phone.
Press and hold the Volume Down and Power keys.
Wait 3 seconds and press the Back and Menu keys.
Note: If you see the LG logo before pressing the Back and Menu keys, the reset hasnt been completed and you will need to restart.
Release the Power/Lock key after you see the LG logo.
Release the remaining keys after the LG logo flashes (blinks once).
The Android Unpacking screen appears.
The phone will restart and complete the factory reset.
Note: If you unintentionally press the Volume Down, Volume Up and Power keys simultaneously, the phone will display a circle icon with two arrows and 'S/W Upgrade, Please wait while upgrading...' message. You will need to pull the battery and restart.
it worked on the first try!
happy holidays
Glad u found the answer

(sorry about my chinglish )
So here's how:I locked my nexus10 and forgot the password, and I do not see the "Forgotten" button on the screen and also I didn't turn USB debugging mode on, so is there any possibility I can save my data instead of cleaning them up? Thank you (btw, I deleted the original recover files(because I once booted Ubuntu Touch on it) how can I reset it anyway?) Tanks a lot
Don't think there's a way..
And you should be glad because if it was possible anyone could break into your device.
P.S.
chinglish - like!

yeah........I see, so how can I clean everything, the recovery is dead and I didn't turn the debugging mode on
Right from Google:
1.If your tablet is on, power it off.
2.Press and hold Power, Volume Up, and Volume Down at the same time for several seconds. You will see the word Start with an arrow drawn around it.
3.Press Volume Down twice, until you see the option Recovery mode.
4.Press Power to restart into Recovery mode. You should see an image of an Android with a red exclamation point.
5.While holding down Power, press Volume Up.
6.Use the Volume keys to scroll to Wipe data/factory reset and press Power to select it.
7.Scroll down to Yes - erase all user data and press Power to select it.
Note: If at any point during the above steps your tablet becomes unresponsive, you can restart it by holding down the Power button for several seconds.

The recovery has been deleted by me when I boot Ubuntu Touch on it

Fastboot
You can use Fastboot without USB Debugging enabled.
"To use fastboot, power off, then hold down the power button and both volume buttons. That will take you to the bootloader screen where you, or the toolkit, can do fastboot commands."
I've attached a CWM Recovery image for your device.
Place it somewhere on your computer and open the Terminal application on your computer. Run the following command:
fastboot flash recovery <image location>
Then you can backup /data using advanced backup, perform a factory reset, CREATE A FULL BACKUP, then restore /data using advanced restore.
Old LG G5 I had previously installed Lineage on. Was in a drawer until I decided to charge it up and let one of my kids play games on it. When I input the correct screen lock pattern, it goes black, then comes back to lock screen.
I am able to hold power button to then select power off, restart, etc. From power off, I power on and get the orange triangle recommending to lock the bootloader. But no combination of power and vol-down or power and vol-up will get me to TWRP. It just rolls right back in to Lineage.
Also, from power off, if I plug in to my Linux laptop, it will power on and go to fastboot.
Feels like USB debug got turned off and/or trust somehow got revoked, but I never had this laptop connected to it so probably doesn't matter. But like I said, my unlock pattern is working. I get different response with correct pattern versus incorrect.
I'm also able to see the phone from my https://google.com/android/devicemanager page. I tried to send a secure and erase thinking it might let me start from scratch, but I only see a notification that "Device Located" and it never does anything.
And finally, lsusb -v does see the phone, but adb devices never does.
My question is any idea how to get back to TWRP to wipe and push an updated image or even put an updated TWRP?
Try this ...
It's like getting into Stock Recovery. To get into TWRP Recovery using button combination (hard reset) you'll need to hold volume down button and power button simultaneously, releasing power button (temporarily) once LG logo appears then quickly pressing and holding power button again, all the while maintaining hold on volume down button. The stock recovery message (white background) will appear requiring you to select volume up/down button to continue to reset software (see attached image). If you select yes it will appear to factory reset but will actually boot into TWRP.
Hope that helps!
