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.

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.

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
Hi,
Sorry if this has been asked a 1k times before! - I have searched and googled but could not find an answer!
Just a simple one to start with! How do I perform a hard reset on a Magician (SPV M500)
Thanks
Lee
Hi,
Think I found the answer, so posting here for others:
Fairly simple in the end - as I thought: whilst pressing the power button, insert the stylus into the soft reset hole and press the reset button - release both button and the device should perform a hard reset.
Cheers
Lee
Can someone please advise me, I've brought the Xda Mini S today. I am trying to pefrorm a hard reset and following the instructions from the user manual but it keeps on performing a Soft Reset instead.
What do I do? Please help!
start / settings / system / clear storage enter 1234 and away you go!
Thank you very much Lord Buckingham, it's done now!
Thanks again!
So why doesn't the manual say this, and they way it says doesn't work?
I had same prob, so did a quick search on here. Great wealth of information!
some of users said they were able to do hard reset by buttons,
holding those buttons and quickly pushing soft reset, they said it realy hard to find moment to release buttons...
anyone know the button combo? TIA
hard reset procedure: hold comm manager button (the one on the left), power (on the top) and voice dial button (the one on the right) at same time, and while holding them press soft reset buttton. realise soft reset button (stil holding top 3 buttons and format screen will appear. pres green button and that's it.
wow that's a lot of buttons! will try that the next time i do a HR. thanks

There is no timing...
Just press and hold comm. button and the voicedial button.
Than put your stylus for one sec on the reset hole and still hold the 2 buttons mentioned above.
Than the phone will boot and you will see a screen asking you to press the (green) send button to hardreset.

i had the same problem with hard reset yesterday (my first hard reset ever . after a few tries i found that most proper way to hard reset device is:
1) press & hold comm button + voice dial button
2) press reset button (while holding buttons mentioned above)
3) KEEP HOLDING comm & voice dial buttons
4) after a while hard reset is done, so we can release all buttons
big thx eva_d!
arrggh!
This has been the best forum i have come accross. My phone function ends up as being a blank in the task manager and i constantly by mistake quit i while i am trying to quit something else. a proper pain...
I am tryin to hard reset the phone so i can set it up in corporate mode...i just seem to be completely unableto get it...i have been trying to hold the two buttons and press reset while still holding the two buttons....five minutes later still nothing....arrgh. Any solutions.... :shock:
This is from the manual:
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.

it is frustrating at first but it is easier with practice. in my experience i released the stylus after about 5 secs and i was prompted with a question if I wanted to format the device [hit send button to start]
Do you really need hard reset?
Did you try clear storage?
Some times it is enough to clear your phone...
If you're feeling generous, can you try hardreset using VJEschaton?
I've never tested it on WM5 hardware, I haven't had a good reason to hardreset yet.

VJEshscaton now works on the Wizard, although I think there are easier ways to reset our phones Eg, using them!

MDA compact 2 password problem
Hiya mate,
I have a similar problems to yours in that i have forgotten my password for the MDA compact 2 phone. You say you have solved the problem.
Can you please help and say how you did it.
I would well appreciate any help.
Cheers
hold down the two side buttons, camera and memo, then tap the reset button at the bottom with the stylus, keep holding the 2 buttons until display asks to push green to hard reset.
Help!
Please could you tell me exactely which 2 keys these are? I have found the reset but as soon as I push it my phone restarts.
Any help much appreciated!
Stef
it's really hard to guess which two they are, charmer has completely 3 side buttons, from which one is power )
two buttons on the left side they are...
Thanks so much - I wasnt holding the keys down for long enough - you are a lifesaver!

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
