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)

this is a known bug on 9100, I also had to HARD RESET. there was already such topic, find it, there is a solution there too. HARD reset by holdin the buttons on both upper sides (comm manager and voice command) - it will vibrate, then press and hold RESET button for 5 sec

I´m sorry, but when i press the 2 buttons it doesn´t vibrate, else i push the reset during 5 seconds but it is the same.
Sorry for my poor english...

hmm, why don't you see in the printed manual, page 80. It reads:
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.
worked for me?

Thx for the help.
I have read the manual, and i´m doing exactly it says.
The solution for me was:
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,
and the release the stylus and 2 seconds later release the 2 buttons.
Now i uninstalled the fu**ing Pocket plus.

ur not alone, it got me too.
Mine however would not hard reset, had to use the bootloader to re-flash the rom! The air was getting pretty blue......

Guys - you all just need to chill for a moment...
PocketPlus3 works beautifully with the wizard in all but one area - the Safe Mode.
For some reason the switch to WM5 buggers this up so what you need to do is this:
1) Install Pocket Plus 3 to your device.
2) Start > Settings > 'System' Tab > Spb Pocket Plus.
3) Scroll down the little list and uncheck the 'Safe Mode' box.
4) Soft-reset and be happy
Hope this helps!

Yes I also confirm that I have it running after the mentioned above problems . I think it is worth having, just uncheck the SAFE MODE box immediately after installing SPB and before any resets...

Oh oh, I am really in problems now. I think I have the same problem with Pocket Plus, and my MDA Vario does not start up any more. I only see the bootscreen. After doing a hard reset I see horizontal coloured bars and that's it???!!!!
HELP
How do I get out of this missery?

I use SPB PP + 3.0.4 with safe mode switched on without any problem. During boot is shows dialog what to do if you want safe mode (but i've never used safe mode yet) and device starts well.

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

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!

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

How TO Hard Re-set Wizard

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..
