do a factory reset like this guy said, or flash a .sbf file (be sure to flash the GINGERBREAD file, any other and you risk hard bricking your device)

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.
I downloaded starwars rom followed instructions now i am stuck a the front screen were it says to touch. will not proceed says "process com. android phone has stopped unexpectedly". I was fully rooted and using bootstrap. How do i get back into bootstrap. I have plugged into wall with phone off and bootstrap will not start. HELP
newalker91 said:
You HAVE to flash it over Alien rom using bootstrap. These roms are not meant to be flashed without unlock in the first place, it's pretty random that it even somewhat works with boostrap. What you need to do is SBF back to stock, unlock your bootloader, load up a recovery, flash alien, make a backup, relock your phone, root and install bootstrap, restore alien backup, then flash star wars rom. Make sure you read carefully before flashing roms because you can easily brick your phone missing info like that.

My phone started to act up after i went from cm7 to 9, maybe i did not do it right. Today, i went back to cm7 to stop the problems, but i had the same exact problems and it only got worse. I tried to sbf back to i think 2.3.4, and i have done a sbf before and did the samething i did last time. Now, i am stuck in a boot loop. I think the problem is that when i did the sbf it had no details about my phone. Please tell me what i should do.
Did you wipe data? I have never sbf'd but I've read that bootloops are common and wiping data usually fixes it.
From Moonshadow:
17. Whether or not your phone boot loops at this time, I HIGHLY recommend performing a factory reset from the Android Recovery menu. This is also the process of fixing the boot loop.
a. Pull the battery.
b. Plug the battery back in.
c. Power up your phone by pressing and holding the VOLUME DOWN BUTTON and then pressing the POWER BUTTON until you see the words FASTBOOT (in white) at the top of the DX2’s screen. This should only take about 3-5 seconds.
d. Press the VOLUME DOWN BUTTON 7 times, or until you see the words ANDROID RECOVERY.
e. Press the VOLUME UP BUTTON and the screen will add “Entering Android Recovery” under the words ANDROID RECOVERY.
f. In about 5-7 seconds, you should see a white triangle with a yellow exclamation point in the middle and a little android down and to the right of the triangle.
g. Press both volume buttons at once.
h. The Android system recovery utility (second line of text) will come up.
i. Press the VOLUME DOWN BUTTON until “wipe data/factory reset” is highlighted.
j. Press the power button to start the process.
k. Once the wipe data/factory reset process has completed, press the VOLUME UP BUTTON until reboot is highlighted.
99% of the time I have not wiped data and cache after an sbf I boot loop and I am guessing that's the issue just pop into android recovery wipe those two and reboot it will take a few minutes for the first boot as usual but should be good after that

it work for me thank you very match
My cell phone model is Huawei Y536A1. It suddenly turned on by itself for several times and then finally my phone screen just stayed on the "android". I tried several ways to deal with the problem, but sill could not work.
I tried ...
1. Alternate Master Reset Method: a) press and hold the Volume Up and the Power key for 8 seconds, then release b) Press the Volume down key until "wipe data/factory reset" is highlighted c) Press the Power key to select > Press the Volume down key until "Yes -- delete all user data" is highlighted d) Press the Power key to select e) Once data has been wiped, a green "OK!" with a checkmark will be displayed f) With "reboot system now" highlighted, press the Power key to select.
--> it did not work for my phone.
2. I also tried "wipe cache partition". It still did not work. It went back to the logo "android" again.
3. I went to AT&T store. They could not help because of out of the warranty. A staff even did not want to try. It's very frustrating. Later, I asked them to change my sim card to my traditional old AT&T phone. So, my Huawei Y536A1 is no sim card now. However, i still want to use it if it can work.
After I took out of the sim card, my phone screen will stay a global sign for a while and then turn of by itself. ><
I would very appreciate if anyone could give me possible suggestions to fix that problem.
Thank you.
