I just got my Orange SPV M5000 (Universal)... but there arent any icons or shortcuts for me to soft reset the phone.
Even when i press the power button, it just turns the screen off and back on. Even when i hold the power button for long, it still doesnt soft reset.
Can someone help?
Have you tried poking the soft reset button, just next to the USB port on the back?
Or try VJEschaton.

thanks, i thought the reset hole in the back next to the usb deletes all my personal data, didnt know it was soft reset. Thank VJ

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!

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)
???????? :evil:
push "standbye" and "cam" button and than the reset
to show the colordisplay
and than put the usb in and flash another ROM

don't work (((
Well, this has happend to me a couple of times too, just hard reset.
Push Camera + Comm manager button together, then soft reset, but keep holding the camera and comm button.
When you get a message, click the green phone.
yeah, not sure what you're yelling, but i think your phone resets and only goes to a white screen and sits there?
happned to me and i almost cried. tried hard resets and nothing. left battery out for a day and nothing. i left it out again for a few hours cause i was pissed, put it in at 4am, did another hard reset and it started to work like normal, though resetted. keep trying!
I'd try all the stuff mentioned and make sure it is plugged in to the power supply.
hard reset and bootloader
for hard reset after you press both cam and comm button press soft reset the trick is dont release bot cam and comm bottons untill it prompts. finally press green button.
for boot loader device must be connected to crable or power. and press cam and power button then press soft reset. still the sam don release power and cam button until you see the color screen.
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
Help guys,
I've read the manual, but i am unable to HARD RESET my HTC Herald, I always SOFT RESET the phone because I have software applications problems - but I want to do a full hard reset, hoping it fixes the phone - (the SOFT RESET doesnt work).
I know you're supposed to hold the reset button down with your stylus after holding the two soft keys, but the moment I touch the Reset button with my stylus it immediatly soft resets...
Any ways to get around this?
you should be pressing the reset button WHILE holding the two soft keys. Make sure you keep holding them. The hard reset confirmation screen won't appear until you release them though

witch keys are the soft keys
On my Herald one only needs to press the two soft-keys, NOT the reset button on start up. In conclusion, 1. turn off device 2. turn on device and directly press the two soft-keys. By doing this at least I get some text on the screen and that I should press send to do a hard reset.
Hi,
how to do a soft reset? I saw in other threads, for example, when I push camera button an power on, and I enter bootloader, to do a soft reset I have to push camera button and press reset with stylus, but.... where is the reset???
take the back cover off, there's a small hole next to the usb port, stick yer stylus in it, that will soft reset.
that's the hard reset!!
for a soft reset you just need to turn your dual off .. shut it down on the power button
