Hey mate, glad it worked! I just saw your PM minutes ago and accidently sent you incorrect instructions as well ( accidently, honestly!). Nice that you found out how to do it, have fun with your unlocked MDA!

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)

hold camera and connection button (on the left of the device) keep pressed and then hit the soft reset button at the bottom of the device. keep the 2 side buttons pressed until a message pops up asking if you want to hard reset. press green call button to accept.
Alternative method: Go to :arrow: Setting > System > Clear Storage . I t will tell you to enter '1234' and then press 'YES'. It will hard reset you PDA.

Thats the correct answer, according to dioxda2 the 'clear storage' option does not do a hard reset and now that I tried, I know he is right.
It's my first time hard-resetting my wizard (random resets are finally getting to me), but I was wondering how on earth am I supposed to do this. I follow all the procedure, and all that appears is a screen filled with the colors red green and blue. I hold for about a minute more after that screen shows up and nothing more appears. I know i'm supposed to see some dialog box that asks if I want to clear it, but I'm just not seeing it.
Hi - this is the way i do it.
Turn device off.
Hold comm button (top left) and record button (top right) together.
Turn device on - keep fingers on two buttons above.
Black screen should come up with some writing (take fingers off buttons above) - press call button (green)
and it will hard reset.
This may work. But that is NOT what the manual says to do. It says to hold the top side left and top side right buttons and use the stylus to push in the reset button on the right side. But I did this and it did nothing.
HTC Wizard, i-mate K-JAM, Cingular 8125:
While holding the Comm manager button and the Voice Command button, push in on the soft reset button (reset hole) once. Keep holding the Comm Manager and Voice Command buttons until there is a screen asking you if you want to clear all data. To commit, press the green send key.
Note: The Cingular 8125 also has a software hard reset option. You can find this application in the Settings folder under "Clear Storage."

I've tried the hardware button method several times (camera button, comm button, and turn on) and I even tried the other method (which did nothing) but when I perform the comm and camera method, all I get is a multi-colored screen that has two strings of numbers on it. So the next question I got to ask is, is a clear storage for the 8125 as effective as the hardware reset?
Some people think it is, some don't - I think it's pretty close give it a shot
Just navigate to clear storage its easier.
Start > Settings > "System" tab > clear storage
It will ask if you really want to, tap yes then it should hard reset.
This is how I hard reset to UPGRADE or RELOAD the ROM from my PC:
I keep the device on... I hold the top left (comm mgr button) and top right (voice command button) then I press the reset button on the right side with my stylus. ONce the device goes to black screen, I release the top left button while still holding the right... wait 3 seconds then release the top right button. At this point you should be to a DOS like screen with a USB label in the lower left. You can then load the ROM from your PC to the device.
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
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..
