Anyone know how to hard reset the Wizard?

Lets say its crashing on boot. What is the key combination to hard reset it?

Hold the comm manager buton and the voice command button at the same time.
While holding these push the soft reset button. Keep your fingers on the Comm and voice Manager buton. After about five seconds a screen will appear asking you to press the green send button.
That's it.

Disable "safe mode" function before soft reset.

Yes mine froze to after pocketplus 3.0.0.3888 too but not with 3.0.0.3652
How do you disable "safe mode" function before soft reset. ? :idea:

go into "setting" and then icon Spb Pocket Plus, and bottem feature on menu is safe mode, un-tick it.

Update: on my I-Mate K-Jam (ITA) I was not able to perform any HARD RESET with keys.... (screen never going black, not after minutes !!!).
I had to use an util provided with the K-Jam "reset memory", which asked me to type 1234 and the confirm before performing...
Just my 2 cents...
Ciao

Hold the buttons, and press reset for a short time. Still hold the buttons, and press talk when asked.

ok heart attack over.
:lol:

I have the same problem. I disabled PocketPlus Safe Mode...but still cannot do a hard reset. Where is the utility that you mentioned? I cannot find it on my device.

VJEschaton will hard reset a wizard...

For newbies like me i push up again this thread.
Again, there are two methods available to perform a hard reset of your HTC Wizard. The first method is the easiest, but seems to be the least known method:
* Open the Start menu
* Select Settings
* Select the tab System
* Select Clear Storage
* You will now be prompted with a warning about the consequences of a hard reset, and will be asked to copy a word into a form and to confirm by pressing the left Soft Button
The first method is only availalbe when your HTC Wizard is functioning correctly. If that is not the case, a second method using only hardware buttons is available:
* Press and hold both the Comm Mannager Button and the Voice Command Button
* While keeping those two buttons pressed, press the Reset Button with your stylus
* After about a second you will be prompted for confirmation. Press the Talk Button to confirm
This method is tested and works on Qtek 9100, I-mate K-JAM, MDA Vario, Orange SPV M3000, O2 XDA Mini S, Dopod 838, Cingular 8125.

Thanks a lot man

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....?
Wouter

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:
Wouter

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.
Wouter

Which one is the "Sent key".

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

WM5 Password Forgotten

Hi, a helpfull friend has set the WM5 password to strong alphanumeric and has forgotten it,or just wont tell me what it is. Can anyone tell me, how can I get around this to get MDA Vario working again?
Many thanks

I think a hard reset may fix.

But I am not to sure.

I have tried that, device is still coming up with password request.

All I can think of is flashing it with a new ROM but if it goes bad it could kill the device and I am not sure it would remove it but in theory it should. Other members may have some hacks to fix it.

A hard reset will definitely remove the password, maybe you are just soft resetting the device.

I have tried as says in manual many times, it comes back up with the password screen every time.
I can only try it with MDA:
Turned off
Turned on with password screen illuminated
Manual says:
88 Managing Your MDA Vario
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.
RESET button
Voice Command button
Comm Manager button
I have tried it with MDA:
turned off
turned on showing password screen

Sounds like you are doing the reset wrong....
Hard resets are awkward - hold in the two top side buttons, press the reset and keep holding the top two buttons after you have removed the stylus from the reset hole. About four seconds should do it.
Hope that helps.

you'll know if you got it because you'll get a black screen with white lettering that says "press send to format" or the like
otherwise its just a soft reset. On an older ipaq I had, if I had a password it would ask on teh PC everytime I synched. This was with PPC 2003. I'm not sure if you'll still have a problem when you try to sync your data though.
Good luck.

Bilbo_28 & others - You were right, I was not doing a hard reset properly and getting only the soft reset.
It seems after doing it a few times, that the hard reset instructions in the manual should read something like:
hold in the two top side buttons, both the send and receive buttons leds should come on and stay lit.
Insert the stylus in the reset hole and observe both send and receive buttons extinguish
remove the stylus from the reset hole and keep holding the two top side buttons until:
The screen goes black and the following message appears:
Press send to restore
factory default,
Other keys to quit
Release the top two side buttons
Then press SEND to restore factory default
or press any other key to abort hard reset
I think an e-mail to T-Mobile telling them to update the manual would not go amiss !!
Many thanks for your assistance.

Thankz man
hey thankz man really got a great relief

Wow. I was doing the hard reset wrong. I had the same password problem. But now its stuck on the "align screen" menu wth? It moves the cursor around the screen and yet it comes back to the menu. I've run through it at least 10 times now

Colored Screen after WM6 Softreset

Hello everyone,
the last days i am trying to flash my Blue Angel up to WM6 (WM5 would be OK too).
I tried about 1001 times to get into the boot options, but everything i could see was this /%&§ colored screen.
However, i managed to get it an installed WM6 sucessfully.
But now my Problem:
After softreset WM6 was gone and everything i could see, was this %&$§" colored screen again!
Back to 2003SE works fine.
I tried it many times again, stuck at the colored screen, after 1001 tries i managed it again to get into the boot options, and the same again, softreset ad wm6 was gone.
Anyone out there who can give me a hint, what to do?
I was wondered to see only the R 1.10.00 on the colored Screen.
Whats with P an G? Do i need it for WM6? Where to get it? Need i special versions for WM6?
Thanks for help guys!

I think you were doing just right, read WiKI steps more carefully for setting No Yes Yes and then pressing message button.

I was really... really really shure, that i did it right.
But you made me so confuse, that i read the Wiki again and again.
Testet it, and ist the same problem...
Just this morning, my XDA fell down, the battery disconected and all of my data were lost.
Might it be a problem with the internal battery?
Or is it normal, that every data wil be lost, if the battery is removed?

1. You did not made proper hard reset in WM5/6, that's why it could not boot. No suprise here.
2. Yes, read the manual - lack of power = HardReset in PPC2003. If your backup battery is dead (nothing special in such an old device) even a while without battery kills the memory. New BA holds the data just for few minutes.

After the flash process finished with 100%, i resetted with softreset and holding the power button. Isn't that the hard reset?
The windows software says, that the internal battery is 100% loaded but it made me a little confuse, that all the data was lost.
I really read the wiki

Could you send us the link to "wiki" that you were reading?

man, you really have plenty of time doing as much as 2k+ resets.
anyways... you need to hard reset your BA.
use the record+camera combination for hard reset.
like i posted in this link
hope that works

From the WIKI:
When the upgrade is completed, you must perform a Hard Reset
Press and hold the "Power" button, and then press the Reset Button. Colored stripes (the bootscreen) will appear on the screen.
If you have a PH20B device such as MDAIII, QTEK 9090, XDAIIs, PDA2K etc, EITHER:
Quickly press "Record" & "Camera" before the versions appear at bottom right
OR press "Power" & "Camera" & "Record" buttons and Reset at the same time
If you have a PH20B1 device such as SX66:
Quickly press "Record" & "Windows Media" before the versions appear at bottom right EITHER
OR press "Power" & "Windows Media" & "Record" buttons and Reset at the same time
You'll see three options on screen. You must change the second and the third to yes.
If you have a PH20B device such as MDAIII, QTEK 9090, XDAIIs, PDA2K etc, use "Camera" and the "Record" buttons.
If you have a PH20B1 device such as SX66, use "Windows Media" and the "Record" buttons.
Note: The "Record" button moves up and down the menu and the "Camera" button toggles Yes/No. When you're done, press the button in the middle of the D-Pad to continue booting or press the "Mail" button. A white screen will show for 30 seconds, while it is clearing your device in preparation for the new ROM to start executing
When the bootscreen, aka. the colored stripes is displayed, wait more, you are booting. The welcome screen to set up your device will appear shortly ...

Hard Reset

Hello everyone, I recently got a Titan, and was installing programs on it, and one of the Programs I installed deleted everything, and somehow deleted my password, so now I can't use my titan at all. I've searched the forum on how to Hard Reset it, but haven't had any luck.
How do I hard reset my Titan?

hold down the two soft keys (Claendar & Contacts) and then reset.
Keep holding the solf keys down until the reset screen appears.
Then just follow the on screen instructions.

More important, what program did you install so we can all avoid it?

The program was GSlide - http://freewareppc.com/utilities/gslide.shtml.
are there any keys in particular? I've tried resetting it and holding a variety of pairs of buttons with no luck, or will it take several minutes for the Screen to appear?
[EDIT]
It just hit me that all the paper manuals are from my service provider, that's why they're all useless, and the actual manual was electronic. I just looked up Hard Reset, and it said very specifically for a hard reset you hold the left and right Softkeys (The two with only a single dot on them)
Problem fixed Thanks

Regarding GSlide
Hi
Sorry to hear about your problems.
I am the author of GSlide. I just want to point out that GSlide should risk free as it actually does not install on your phone. The odds that your device hangs permanently because of GSlide is very unlikely.
The standard implementation of GSlide is a file explorer and as such it is of course sensitive to user actions.
thanks
Lars

hold the 2 buttons with dots under the screen, then with the stylus poke the small hole on the bottom of the phone to reset it, hold the 2 buttons till the screen comes on.
