Can't Hard Reset

I'm selling my O2 XDA Mini-S and want to Hard Reset it for various reasons but it won't work. I've tried the combination of comm manager voice dial and reset buttons either from off or on position but it still won't hard reset.
The only thing i've done away from the norm is have it unlocked for all networks. Has this stopped me hard resetting it. When I reset it I get the following info :
ipl 2.21
spl 2.21
gsm 02.07.10
os 2.21.4.1
Can anyone offer any advice quickly please as I sell it on Saturday?

how about start - settings - system - clear storage?

Will that clear the add/remove programs too ? And the registry tweaks I've added for my Today screen ?

Yes it will do, Hard Reset is like reverting your phone back to its out of the box condition.

No, I CAN'T hard reset. I was advised above to use Clear Storage and was asking if this would remove the registry tweaks ?!

*Faint*. Just for your information, the "Clear Storage" is a HARD RESET.

Oh, thanks very much for your advice all.

It means it'll wipe the Memory clean, giving you a fresh copy of WM6.

how do i wipe it clean if the screen of the iis gets frozen right after it's restarted and it wont sync with the PC because of that reason

You can also simply go to settings>system>Clear storage

That's actually not the same as a hard reset. As it's run from within windows mobile, some files tend to be left behind (files that are in use at the time, at least). Best is still to hard reset from phone start.

help me plz !!

I need to experts to solve this problem ,

What do you mean lost? What information? How did you lose it? Did you flash another rom or hard reset without backing up information? You need to provide more information so we can assist you.
If you did a hard reset or flashed another rom without backing up your information then it is lost forever, as both these tasks basically format device back to basic operating sytem & default settings of whatever rom is on device.

A hard rest should erase all that stuff. Try it again.

You're not doing a real hard reset, you're doing a soft-reset.
Do this:
1) On the Home screen's Settings tab, tap Menu > All Settings > System > Clear Storage.
2) Enter 1234.
3) Tap YES to perform the reset, or tap NO to cancel the reset.

If its still there then format the sd card

SD card won't make a difference, you can actually just take it out and not even use it if you want, it has no bearing on settings etc.. unless you are flashing a custom ROM using sashimi or UC or other restoration things.
