    Nice write up ArkieKDealer..If that does not work (which didn't work for me).. You can do this:

    This will delete all the data.

    1. Press Volume Up key, Call Key, Middle Track Ball and End Key...It should take u to fastboot
    2. Connect your phone to computer
    3. Open command prompt
    4. Navigate to your android\tools folder.
    5. Type fastboot -w
    6. After it is complete power cycle the phone.

    Your hard reset is done.
