hi, i have tryed to hard reset my xda mini s. i cant semm to doo it.
can anyone help?
RTFM?
Hold the comm manager button and the voice command button at the same time. Press soft reset button (keep holding the other two). It will ask you to press send if you want to hard reset (press the green voice key to hard reset). Easy really.

sorry
dos it need to be off??
Hard reset
Pressing the hardware buttons seems not to work for me too.
Other way of hard reset: Goto Start\Settings\system\erase storage.
You'll get asked to enter 1,2,3,4. Then press ok and the wizard will appear again in factory defaults.
Good luck.
Make sure it is on and not in sleep mode (i.e. you can see teh display). press and hold the two buttons mentioned. Press soft reset. Wait for a bit and the screen will go black (keep holding those 2 buttons). It will then ask if you want to reset/format. Let go of the two buttons and press teh sendkey (the green dialler one). It does work....
Actually, it doesn't work for all of us. I had to do it through system settings too.

On a sample of both my O2 XDA Mini S's it did work; as it is listed in the user manual as well as the method to hard reset then I believed it. Ah well.

To completely hard reset the device, you need to hold 3 buttons at the same time (comm manager, voice command and power) and press soft reset button under the infra red port. It will COMPLETELY HARD RESET THE DEVICE, so do it only when you really need to hard reset.

What's the difference between "Hard Reset" and "Clear Storage" (press 1234) in Settings?

Thank you very much Lord Buckingham, it's done now!

I had same prob, so did a quick search on here. Great wealth of information!

holding those buttons and quickly pushing soft reset, they said it realy hard to find moment to release buttons...

There is no timing...
Just press and hold comm. button and the voicedial button.
Than put your stylus for one sec on the reset hole and still hold the 2 buttons mentioned above.
Than the phone will boot and you will see a screen asking you to press the (green) send button to hardreset.

i had the same problem with hard reset yesterday (my first hard reset ever . after a few tries i found that most proper way to hard reset device is:
1) press & hold comm button + voice dial button
2) press reset button (while holding buttons mentioned above)
3) KEEP HOLDING comm & voice dial buttons
4) after a while hard reset is done, so we can release all buttons
big thx eva_d!
arrggh!
This has been the best forum i have come accross. My phone function ends up as being a blank in the task manager and i constantly by mistake quit i while i am trying to quit something else. a proper pain...
I am tryin to hard reset the phone so i can set it up in corporate mode...i just seem to be completely unableto get it...i have been trying to hold the two buttons and press reset while still holding the two buttons....five minutes later still nothing....arrgh. Any solutions.... :shock:
This is from the manual:
To perform a hard reset
1. Press and hold the Comm Manager button and Voice Command
button on the device.
2. Keep the two buttons pressed, and at the same time, use the
stylus to lightly press and hold the RESET button.

it is frustrating at first but it is easier with practice. in my experience i released the stylus after about 5 secs and i was prompted with a question if I wanted to format the device [hit send button to start]
Do you really need hard reset?
Did you try clear storage?
Some times it is enough to clear your phone...
If you're feeling generous, can you try hardreset using VJEschaton?
I've never tested it on WM5 hardware, I haven't had a good reason to hardreset yet.

VJEshscaton now works on the Wizard, although I think there are easier ways to reset our phones Eg, using them!

Hi,
Desperately trying to hard reset an MDA Vario.
Holding comm button, voice command button and hitting reset but after 100 times its just not working.
Is there another way of doing it? Just what am I missing??!?!
Thanks in advance,
HPJ
You are doing it the correct way, after you hit the reset button you should see something like "Press send to restore factory default" you should then press "SEND" ie: the green telephone button.
You could also try "Settings/system/Clear Storage"
Cheers.
That did the job, thanks. No idea the usual way would not work, and its good to know that 'clear storage' performs a hard reset....I orginally thought it may only do a soft reset!
Cheers
Could it be that you were still holding the buttons in after you pressed reset?
You have to let them go as soon as you press the reset.
Cheers

as well, I struggled with this for ages as well. On my Wizard with the latest imate ROM you have to HOLD the Comm Mgr + Voice Dial (and when still held in) press & release the reset button BUT CONTINUE TO HOLD THE TWO BUTTONS until a message appears on screen saying press the green send button to Hard Reset
Dave idea "Settings/system/Clear Storage" is better..i was struggling with hard reset
how to do hardreset??
I was going to say RTFM but amazingly enough this is not mentioned in the FM...
One way is to press and hold the Camera and Comm Manager buttons simultaneously and then press the Reset button (through the small hole at the bottom of the phone.
Another way is Settings -> System -> Clear Storage.
Before you do this, keep in mind that Hard Reset will wipe all your installed applications and data. Make sure that you have a good backup before proceeding!!!!

I tried this numerous times but instead of hard reset the soft one occured...
EDIT---> It does work indeed!!
Actually, abubasim just forgot one miner detail:
It's camera + comm manager + power, hold those 3 and soft reset. A black screen should come up saying: "press send to restore defaults". Press the green phone button to complete hard reset or any other button to cancel.
Can anyone guide me how to hard re-set Wizard (Qtek 9100)
all i can do is soft-reset. I cannot find any button which could hard-reset it.
Start->settings->system->clear storage
Alternatively you can hold down the voice command button and comm manager button then press the tiny hole on the side with your stylus. (i think thats correct perhaps someone can refresh my memory)
Press & hold the Comm Manger button & Voice Command button on the device.
Keep the two buttons pressed and at the same time use the stylus to lightly press & hold the RESET button.
check for wizard manual @ xda ftp site..

I've just hard reset my phone this weekend :
1) Press & hold the Comm Manger button and Voice Command button on the device.
2) Keep these two buttons pressed and use your stylus to press the reset button.
3) Keep everything pressed for about 5seconds then release the Reset button (with your stylus)
4) Release the Comm Manager and Voice Command buttons
5) A message should appear on the screen
6) Press the green phone button to validate the hard reset ...
Thank you, You guys solved my problem.
thanks again
Hello,
I have a Verizon Imagio (HTC Leo) and cannot figure out how to do a basic soft reset. Does anyone know how to perform this via either button combinations OR a program on the phone that does a SOFT reset (not the full HARD reset). Thanks for any help on this!
Cheers!
~Dubhead
that's the whitestone.... look a little further down the page...
Also wouldnt it be the power button that you hold down, i think its not a dedicated button so i will guess the call end button will do this.

Hold down the power button (hang up) and an option to power off the device will be shown.

Is this to power off the device or to reset the device? I think it is to power off...
Poweroff is a soft reset.
A hard reset blows away all your info and settings. Like a format
Hold the power button down and you will get a prompt.
of
pull the battery
Or hit the reset button under the battery cover. Little red button.
Hard reset is holding both the volup and voldown buttons during poweron
You could try Touchoff... it installs as a cab file and when you hold your power button down, it gives you the option of shutdown, soft reset, etc... or pxshutxp... which is an app that you have to tap to open for the same functions as touchoff....
