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:
Thanks

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

Ah ok thanks :wink:

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.

dose anuone know to hard reset?

hi, i have tryed to hard reset my xda mini s. i cant semm to doo it.
can anyone help?

RTFM?
Hold the comm manager button and the voice command button at the same time. Press soft reset button (keep holding the other two). It will ask you to press send if you want to hard reset (press the green voice key to hard reset). Easy really.

Hard reset
Pressing the hardware buttons seems not to work for me too.
Other way of hard reset: Goto Start\Settings\system\erase storage.
You'll get asked to enter 1,2,3,4. Then press ok and the wizard will appear again in factory defaults.
Good luck.

Make sure it is on and not in sleep mode (i.e. you can see teh display). press and hold the two buttons mentioned. Press soft reset. Wait for a bit and the screen will go black (keep holding those 2 buttons). It will then ask if you want to reset/format. Let go of the two buttons and press teh sendkey (the green dialler one). It does work....

Actually, it doesn't work for all of us. I had to do it through system settings too.

On a sample of both my O2 XDA Mini S's it did work; as it is listed in the user manual as well as the method to hard reset then I believed it. Ah well.

To completely hard reset the device, you need to hold 3 buttons at the same time (comm manager, voice command and power) and press soft reset button under the infra red port. It will COMPLETELY HARD RESET THE DEVICE, so do it only when you really need to hard reset.

What's the difference between "Hard Reset" and "Clear Storage" (press 1234) in Settings?

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!

holding those buttons and quickly pushing soft reset, they said it realy hard to find moment to release buttons...

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!

Reset not working

Hi,
I can't hard reset my device???
It just operates as a soft reset, I hold in Comms Button / Voice button together and press reset with stylus and all I get is a reboot????

You have to press 3 buttons in addition to the reset button with the stylus.
The 3rd button is the power button.

You have the correct buttons. Just hold the Comm and Voice buttons. Place the stylus in the hole and release. Keep hold of the Comms and Voice button then you will get a message on the screen. Hit the send key. I.E green talk key.

Regarding the HARD RESET.
a) I unlocked my MDA Vario with the unlock software from here. After the Hard reset , is the telephone then again locked.
b) There is a new update from TMobile for the MDA Vario.If I update it , is the unlock tool still working.
c) What is a good backup program ?
Cheers :?: :roll:

how to do hardreset??

how to do hardreset??

I was going to say RTFM but amazingly enough this is not mentioned in the FM...
One way is to press and hold the Camera and Comm Manager buttons simultaneously and then press the Reset button (through the small hole at the bottom of the phone.
Another way is Settings -> System -> Clear Storage.
Before you do this, keep in mind that Hard Reset will wipe all your installed applications and data. Make sure that you have a good backup before proceeding!!!!

I tried this numerous times but instead of hard reset the soft one occured...
EDIT---> It does work indeed!!

Actually, abubasim just forgot one miner detail:
It's camera + comm manager + power, hold those 3 and soft reset. A black screen should come up saying: "press send to restore defaults". Press the green phone button to complete hard reset or any other button to cancel.
