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.

Handy Menu also has an option.
You can use "System Restore" utility available in your PPC. This is actually a hard reset utility.
VJEschaton can hard/soft reset most HTC phones (amongst other things), but don't know about the Ipaq.

Does not work for WM5 and VJEschaton only soft resets it even if you use the hard reset function !! does anybody know of anything else !!
I'd imagine something like SKTools can probably hard reset any device. It's not hard, but requires a bit of code. The hard reset "hack" we used on WM2003 is not effective >= WM5.

I know... I want to do it (hard reset). But the problem is that I can't access the Start Menu. Does anybody knows another way to do it?
if you hard reset your start menu will be restored.
If you have any acess to a explorer aplication thru your today plugins, navigate to the windows/start menu folder.
Otherwise, hard reset with the keys shortcuts, like its explained in you manual.

I can't access anything on the PDA since I turn it ON. It's like it gets stucked on something... I see the START Menu, and the two shortcut keys (in my case calendar and contacts) but I can't do anything unless turn the PDA off... But I will check the manual and see if I can do an hard reset without going to the definitions in the Start Menu (hope that's possible...)
I have managed the situation. Hard reset made "manually". Anyway thank's to everibody that tried to help.
Some moderator/admin close this post please

today i was clearing up my phone with a hard reset with B2btweak and Hd2tweak installed. but after the hard reset i installed back this 2 .cab. and did the tweak setting follow by a soft reset and IT Crash.! b4 my 1st hard reset its workign fine on my device . does anyone knows what actually causes the crash? thanks in advance~
It might help to have more details, what did you tweak?
Why do you have both tweak programs installed?
What ROM version are you using?
what i tweak.-> just those in the tip and tricks thread
rom. 1.66 stock rom
why i using 2 of it.-> because bsbtweak gave extra option like pinch to zoom rotate option wherelse hd2tweak gave more tweak.

You've been very vague in your question, so I can only be equally vague in my answer. What caused the crash? One of the tweaks that you used.
BsB Tweaks is not known to cause problems, but I've read that HD2Tweak has caused problems for some users, even to the point where they need to hard reset.
Do a hard reset and go through the tweaks that you want, 1 by 1, doing a soft reset and making sure that everything's okay after each one. That's the only way to find out what caused the problem.
yup i guess thats the only way to know wat actually causes the problem by trying out 1 by 1.
thx for your reply.
i jus check from other thread. the crash came from 1 of the tweak.
HKLM\System\StorageManager\FATFS/CacheSize: 0 => 4096
to any1 that just/or keen to install HD2tweak don change anything at section 18
i'm using spb shell panel...it's have setting shortcut inside the launcher...i go inside the setting..after that i click system...the problem is:

What is Soft Reset?
soft reset is by far the most common type of reset every PDA users will find, and often useful in solving small problems and strange behavior. When you perform a soft reset your PDA, you're basically causing the device to stop all things that are running, and restart - like rebooting a PC.
If you have programs open and enter data into the time you do a soft reset, you may lose the information you enter, but other than a soft reset does not affect any information you have stored on the PDA at all, and can be done quite safely.
Before performing a soft reset, I usually recommend backing up your data quickly, just to be on the safe side!
Instructions to do a soft reset usually can be found in the user manual that came with your PDA. In general, all you need to do is find the "reset hole" (which may be labeled), and press gently tip of a stylus or a bent paper clip into it. Doing push a small button on the device that triggers a soft reset, so you do not need a lot of pressure. If you are unsure, check with the manufacturer of your PDA!
What is a Hard Reset?
Sometimes also referred to as the "factory reset", a hard reset is the process very seriously, because it always do a hard reset will erase all data from your PDA and restore it to factory when it was originally purchased.
In general, only device manufacturer will suggest you ever do a hard reset, and even then only in the most dreadful circumstances! Even before considering a hard reset, you should always take a thorough backup of your data, and make sure you have a copy of it in a safe place.
Instructions to do a hard reset again usually found in the user guide for your PDA, but if not, you should contact the manufacturer of your PDA and they will be able to help ... but a hard reset should only be used as a last resort!
