Can't get my K-Jam to hard reset

Hi everybody,
I just can't seem to reset my K-Jam. I tried it a dozen times but it still is a soft reset. Ok before everybody get's angry: I know how to hard reset (hold the two side top buttons and press the reset button). I tried it in different timings like first holding down the two side top buttons then pressing the resetbutton and holding it for almost a minute. Or first pressing and holding the reset button and then the two buttons but it is always a soft reset.
I guess it is a soft reset because I don't get the calibrate screen thing.
Any tips here because I want to get rid of the slowdowns from the virusprogram....?

Hi,
I had the same problem. Theres a facility in settings called 'Clear Storage'
start>settings>system>'Clear Storage'
this actually does a hard re-set.

Thanks Webster,
I didn't think of that one! That did the trick!
Wouter

Hold down the Comm Button and Voice Button continuously while tapping the reset hole.
As long as you keep holding down the two buttons, the screen will go black and soon prompt you to hit Send to hard-reset (wipe the unit), or any other key to continue with a soft-reset (reboot).

Thanks Beyondthetech,
I'll try that next time when I need it :wink: .
Great blog you have! Has been very useful in making up my mind.
I'll install TT 5 later now I know how it can be done. :lol:

Just a small update
Just to let you guys now. I finally found out the proper way to hardreset.
The trick is not to let go of the Communications and Voice Command button until you have stopped pressing the soft reset hole. Just wait with releasing the two buttons until there is a message on the screen asking you to press the Sent key to hard reset.
Another funny thing is that you can restore a backup (made with Sunny Backup) on another K-Jam device. It still runs. This came in handy because I exchanged mine for another because of some hardware problems.

Which one is the "Sent key".

the telephone "call" key (green handset) (left side)

Please help, I can't read text msg and url after open...

Hi,
Please give me a hand...
I can read text messages' headline only, but I can't read the contents.
Whenever I touch any headline, which shows blank.
Actually it's empty (white screen without format).
And IE was happening as the same case also.
Sigh...
I recently installed a trial version software as a cleaner for release more memories.
I deleted some files and let main memory of 13% free,
but I'm feeling so bewilder that I have making a quite mistake.
I couldn't read webpages on ie and couldn't read any text messages on mailbox,
after I deleted "some lnk files", "the whole directory of GPRS MONITOR
in My Device\Program Files\" on my O2 Atom.
Could any one help me to solve my problem, please? :?

You have to try to reset your device.
Have you tried the soft-reset of your device ?
If that does not work you will have to do a HARD reset.
For soft reset, press the small recessed button at the bottom of the Atom.
For HARD reset (you will lose all your data, but at least you will get back a working Atom), with the Atom OFF, press the small recessed button at the bottom of the Atom AT THE SAME TIME press the power button at the top.
You will be prompted for hard reset press BOTH the CALL and HANGUP buttons.
Last option : Reflash yor ROM.

I've already tried soft reset it for many times before I post this message. :?
:roll: I made the hard reset at last....
You're right, at least I can recover my Atom.

help me in reseting phone

hey guys, please help me...i bought imate jam used one form some of my frnd...now i want to hard reset ...can anyone tell me how can i do that...and one more thing lets say i hard reset it, will it setup automatically or do i have to put everything on my behalf....please help me....

Push the bottom button and quickly hold the Power button
If that doesn't work, try the other buttons. I think it is the power button.
It will setup and runs nicely as a phone. No worries.

Yup,
Its the power button. Hold your power button and soft-rest your device for a Hard reset. Yu will then be prompted with a screen saying your device will be customized automatically in 3secs. If you want to save space, skip that by a soft-reset again.

XDAII soft resets when powerbutton pressed

Hi,looking for some help please. The PDA has suddenly started to soft restart everytime the powerbutton is pressed, either to switch on or off. I can only get it to screen off on auto timed shut down. It will take incoming calls okay but if I press the on button to make a call it resets. Any ideas before I hard reset it? Last thing done was add a contact, no updates or the likes.
Had quick search for this but couldn't find an answer, for this problem just the jammed soft reset button which my has not got that works normally.
Thanks inadvance
Chris

Have you tried to switch it off by an application like ppcShutdown, to see if you have the same problem ?
Cheers,

Hi Dotfred, I haven't no. It will time off okay after 3 minutes of nil use. But have to press the powerswitch to turn back on. Then wait for soft reset function to run its course.
Do you have to use the powerswitch with ppc shutdown to 'switch' it back on?
I've been able to back everything up now so will try the hard reset see if that sorts it.
Any other thoughts would be appriecated
Many thanks
Chris

I was trying to find out if it was related to the switch off of the ppc or to the power button.
Since it seems this is purely related to the power button, I wonder if an installed prog has been assigned to the power button and so generates a soft reset. I think that your best choice is indeed a hard reset, because I really don't know if there is an easy way to find out what's happening with the power button.

How to hard reset the magician (SPV M500)?

Hi,
can someone please tell me how to hard reset the magician?
There seems to be a bluetooth com problem (there are no com ports), and a wifi problem. Hopefully a hard reset will sort this out?
Kind Regards

Take the battery out - that will wipe the memory.

press and hold power button and do a softreset.

Press and hold the power button while doing a soft-reset and that will make a hard-reset..
