Which process is best for hard reset ? The reset option in settings or using volume keys after restarting ?
I don't think there is a difference, I used the one in the settings three times and it ended up fine so yeah just go for itWhich process is best for hard reset ? The reset option in settings or using volume keys after restarting ?
Go with the hardware way (volume down+power+camera). I had a bad experience with the software method. It went straight to Cog loop. Only a button reset fixed it.
Will hard reset delete my Lumia black ??
Not sure, but just remove it before doing the reset.The data on the SD card will also be deleted ?
U said that the hardware reset ia to hold the volume,power and camera key. But in a website it is given that only power and volume down buttons is to be hold. Which is correct ?

"it went straight to cog loop" how do you know this? There is no way of knowing when it's bricked because it looks exactly the same as when it isn't bricked... My first time hard resetting took almost 24 hours, at first I was sure it had bricked but no it just took really really long
so you are saying that my phone was bricked but it resurrected itself? That makes no sense.... Also the other 2 times that I did a hard reset it took atleast 45 minutes...and it shouldn't take that long. That's why it's called the cog loop. A hard reset shouldn't take longer than 10-15 minutes, half hour tops.
I would also assume they knew this since it is their phone and they were actively watching it do the cog loop.
Aargh I am defeated!No. In fact the only person (until now) to use the word bricked is you.
Also if you think all loops are infinite then to be honest I'm not sure what I could post that you would understand...
Edit - Actually I found a concise definition that gives the meaning in relation to computers and electronics.
a series of instructions (as for a computer) that is repeated until a terminating condition is reached
After 30ish hours awake I was having a hard time thinking of an easy way to word this...but I think the good old dictionary works well.
Also a truly bricked phone by definition shouldn't even power on.
No one argued that point...
I was saying it is called the cog loop because when something goes wrong there's no way to know if/when it will complete.
