Hi everybody,
I have been trying out various softwares (install/uninstall) on Jasjar and was planning to do a hard reset to go back to original factory settings (like a format and complete reinstall WinXP on my desktop PC) and only install the selected few I liked and need.
Reading these threads for hours gave me the hint the hard reset is not going to do that for me. I am still a little confused; would somebody please describe what HR is on a Jasjar?
If not a HR is what I am looking for, how should I clean up all the tracks of junk (former programs that I deleted or tried to delete, but got an error message).
(Please, be easy on me and detailed, I am not a tech geek, have not even gone into registry yet…)
Thank you for your help!

A Hard Reset will do exactly what you want. As long as you haven't been playing silly buggers creating your own ext.rom.. -- given that you haven't touched the registry yet, I doubt you have..
Hold down all the required buttons, and press the Reset button at the back, wait 20 mins for it to rebuild itself, and you'll have a nice fresh Jasjar ready to go.
The only thing you may be confusing it with is a Soft Reset, and that's literally like turning your PC off. Nothing is gone, no information lost, it just reboots it.

It hangs sometimes and when i soft rest, it doesnt reset... if i hard reset it it doesnt reset... please advice on how to solve this problem.
Confused.
You mean you soft reset but it doens't reset? Or it hanged after the reset (e.g. while loading WM5).
And you tried hardreset? The manual for the hardreset procedure may not be good (they've copied over from the Magician). On your hardreset, did you see the device saying something like.. Press send to format the memory and Formating FAT something like that? Just to make sure you really hard reset it.
i think i'm having a similar issue. in the last 3 days my jam hangs on soft-reset in the picture of the initial display screen, and the only way to bring it back to life is to hard-reset, which on the move can be a pita.
im building a cab for all the settings and these hard-resets push me to continue developing it, but in the end it's becoming annoying. i've upgraded recently to taxist rom and it's stable since 2 months, but then i had to flash it again and since then it sux
can anyone tell me if the registry is reset when a hard reset is performed? for a while my phone has been running incredibly slow and no number of hard resets has fixed it
when you hard reset, it put everything back to how it was!
hmm
it doesn't seem to be doing that, i installed zagat to go on my wizard the other week as did a couple of people i know, it's made all of the devices crash constantly and no number of hard resets are fixing it
How are you "hard reseting"? If by using the stylus in the reset hole then that's a soft reset. A hard reset is performed by holding Record and Camera buttons and reseting with the stylus, then pressing the Send button when instructed to format. You can also "Clear Storage" from Settings\System. You will lose all settings and have to start all over.
i've been doing a true hard reset. i've found the issue now, the software that was causing the problem seems to install something or change the registry settings when connected to the pc even if you don't install the software itself.
i'd recommend to everyone to avoid zagat to go like the plague
Zagat OK
I've been using Zagat for six months without trouble. I have it installed on the miniSD and have about 30 cities. Zagat isn't nearly as useful as Vindigo, but Zagat operates fine. It doesn't have a program running on my PC so there is no mechanism by which the PC could be changing the registry of my MDA through activesync.
I think everyone knows the differences between hard and soft reset but my question today is different from what usually have been asked here:
A) performing a soft reset (by pushing the side small reset button with the stylus) or
B) turing off the wizzy ( by using the top button) and then turining it on again has any difference?
is it A) truncate any process, file, reg and therefore its not clean procedure ?
by performing several times A) it has any consequences ?
the question can be silly but sometimes i'm silly
:roll:
They both do the same thing. The only difference is one asks you "are you sure" 1st and the other one just does it :lol:
I don't think there are any consequences in performing a soft reset several times in a row; although I don't see why anyone would want to do that unless they like their boot screen 8)
thanks
my question is because a soft reset without question i was think can cut some process suddenly bypassing some internal procedure...
but maybe im thinking too much
just trying to know better my Wizard
Actually there is a difference. Any updates you have recently done to the registry will be lost of you reset with your stylus. If you reset with the "off button" the changes will be flushed to disk before shutdown.
I have also lost recently received SMS messages when I reset with my stylus. This has never happened when I reset with the "off button" so I assume the same "disk buffer flushing" is the cause of this as well.
And d yes, I reset a lot but not because I like my boot screen
hi guys, this might seem to be posted a lot of times but i havent found anyone who experienced the same problem as me. ive flashed a custom rom (not found in xda dev) and the phone went well for 3 weeks to a month.however, today(lunchtime) i had a problem i soft reset my device and i was stuck at the 2nd splashed screen. i dont think my hermes is bricked because i can do anything a normal hermes do before. (pda function, calls, sms) really no problem at all until today. ive done what the wiki said like
Problem 2: stuck on windows mobile screen
Try to soft reset with stylus and wait 5 minutes on the windows mobile screen to see if OS boots
If all you get is same windows mobile screen, remove the battery for some time (about 20 min should be enough) and put it again.
Again, if all you get is same windows mobile screen do a hard reset.
If doesn't solve the problem do a hard reset, but do not press spacebar to reboot after. Instead, do a soft reset with stylus when the device asks you to press spacebar.
Check if you might have the NO GSM Problem
well i cant go pass the 2nd splash screen so what i did was hard reset it. and problems gone. my concern is ive lost a lot of documents because of what happened. so i just wanna ask you guys what could be the problem and the solution to prevent this from happening again.
much respect to all here!
TIA
What do you do just before the problem occur?
best thing to do is hard reset you phone this will reinstall you OS and resolve the problem. You need to old the 2 top soft key and press the reset but with your stylus. This will then bring then take u into the hard reset mode. follow the prompts on ur screen by using your keyboard .
This will work as i have experienced the same problem
kind regards
Ash
Did u happen to
a) disable the bottom tray
or
b) set PIE cache to storage card?
Both tend to cause this, tho not in every case.

Hi There
I've been using Helmi WM6 R0 and its been working like an absolute beauty, until just now. I had a call, it hung. I tried to soft reset which is it did, it goes past the 4 colour stripe screen then shows windows mobile screen and stuck!!!!!! nothing more. Tried soft resetting loads of times but nothing....please can any1 assist!!
Perform hard reset, read wiki about howto
Do I have to?
Please say there is another way around it.....please.....
If you want to get your data from the storage memory there is only one other way: Use hammer, rip off the flash and send it to Ontrack or other data recovery company.
If the value of data is lover than device itself, just perform HR and... remember about backup.
Hey man, I've had the exact same thing on mine with WM5 half a year ago, I was able to reboot it after (I believe) the 17th or 18th reset, but flashed another ROM on there afterwards,
Must say, if you should have SPB Plus installed you can press and hold the windows mobile screen and it will boot in safe mode...
Besides this, sorry, no option, unless if you just want to retrieve data on there, press record + camera button on the 4 colored boot screen and clear your registry, this should normally leave everything on the storage... But all the apps installed afterwards won't load anymore of course...
Regards,
backup....
whilst we on the sore point of backup.....wats the easiest, best, free backup option for wm6? (btw plz dont murder have not searched)
Cerr
Don't really know, always try to have all on my pc (contacts - calendar) so after synchro all is back immediatly, the easiest way if you wanna flash your device on every Rom that gets posted here
But you might have a look at one of these perhaps
