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.

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?

Hard reset not working??!?

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

hi i have a i mate jaq asking password

hi i have a i mate jaq asking password i try to reset but fail plz help me how to hard reset .....
here i read the procissor but fail to reset plz help
1) Turn Phone Off.
2) Press and hold the two soft Keys at the same time.
3) Turn the phone on (dont let go of the soft keys.
4) When the screen turns on, immediately release the soft keys.
5) A black screen should come up with white text stating to press 0 to reset device. Any other key to exit.
The key to the hard reset using the softkeys is to only press the end/power button for a short time. Then a black screen will come up. Press 0 and the phone will do a hard reset.

If it is the i-mate jam you need to hold in the power button & press the reset button using the stylus.
If you need more info do a search, we have loads of threads on this.

hi sir this is i mate jaq ........not jam .........wbr varun

I believe for the i-mate Jaq the hard reset is as instructions below:
note: all three buttons are to be pressed at the same time
1)push stylus into soft reset hole + press FN key + press right soft key.
2) phone will restart to factory settings

Soft reset procedure for HTC Leo

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....

"This operation will delete all your personal data, and reset all settings to the manufacturer default settings. Press VolUp to restore manufacturer defaults, or press other keys to cancel."
3. Release the VOLUME UP and VOLUME DOWN buttons.
4. Press the VOLUME UP button to perform the hard reset, or press any other button to cancel the reset.
