How to restore to default on Atom Life? - iPAQ rw6828, XDA Atom General

Can anyone please tell me how to restore everything to default just like when I first bought my device? There is nothing like restore function on the Atom Life. I used to have a P535 and a Softbank X01HT ..... both of this have this function.

Err... how about HARD RESET? Press and hold the power button, then do a soft reset. Do not release the power button until you see an instruction asking you to press the Green and Red buttons. Do that and the device will hard reset.
Warning though, any software installed by the vendor (or shop) that you bought the device from won't be there anymore.

Thanks for you advice ..... just read the manual !!

White Screen only

I just installed this program, used default settings, apllied, My 8125 soft reset.
Now I cannot see anthing past the initial screen that lists IPL and SPL version.
Just a plain white screen, Active sync wont work, no buttons work. Please help !!!!!!!!!!
If you're stuck I think the only next step would be a hard reset which is going to drop it back to the base factory build so you'll lose anything you've installed etc.
How do I hard reset 8125, with buttons only (key / button combination) OS does not boot or visible.
press the "connetions" button (on the left hand side of the unit next to volume up/down) with the "voice" button (right hand side of the unit opposite the connections button) and then use the stylus to do the normal soft reset and it should hard reset back to factory settings - it's described in the manual
Tried hard reset several times, no luck.
All I did was installed registry wizard from here
http://forum.xda-developers.com/viewtopic.php?t=39725&highlight=registrywizard
and now I can't get it to do anything, anymore suggestions ?, your help is really appriciated, I have only had the phone to 2 days and its dead already
try holding the same two buttons and then hitting the power button instead of the reset thingy... this method was easier for me... If this dosen't work you will have to enter bootloader mode and reflash the rom.
For the detailed reset procedures try here
By the way, did you use that program to change the default input method?? I use it all the time and the only time it gave me the whitescreen is when I tried to change the default input...Oops. I believe that you should be able to use that program safely, just leave the default input alone... Hope this helps.
Thanks for info, I did manage to reload the ROM. and Yes I did change the default input method, that might have done it. Thanks all, for your Help.
raheelb did you have the warning that the proggie cannot recognize the AKU version?
I had had such a warning, unfortunately bypassed it and had the same issue (white screen) - any one knows why the RegistryWizard cannot recognize AKU version? I have the original Qtek 2.17 ROM installed... :?

Alternative Hard Reset

Hello. First all sorry for my english.
Since a few days the buttons of my pda are crazy and don't work properly.
For example: The power button don't switch off the pda, but if I press and hold the button for a few seconds, switch off the ligth of the screen. This mean that the button isn´t broken, is it??? With the cam and record button it´s the same. If I press those buttons on windows 6 it works perfectly but i want to hard reset my pda and when reset and press whe i have to change "Clean Registry Hive " and "Format Storage" I can't change these options and cant make hard reset.
Then that is the question:
How can i make hard reset?? is there an alternative metod???? At Qtek S200 there is an application that clean the memory. It Exists for my blueangel??'
There is any application than do it???
Thanks. I´m waiting for answers.
u can use psshutXP it can do a hardreset with confirmation by holding the upper right corner of the application.
Hello.
Thanks for your answer.
I have tested your option, but it seems that the hard reset doesn´t work in wm6. It changes time and date, but don't clean memory, because i have the same programs than before.
I need another metod.
Thanks.
here u are..
just reset first your device, than after you see the stripped screen, press the record and camera button quickly before the the version appears (radio,etc).. then you will see the three options..
enable kitl should be no
clean registry hive should be yes
format storage should be yes
to choose just use the camera and record to change the options...
good luck
cheers

Hello evoluzionne.
I know that way to do hard reset, but my problem is that i can´t change the options:
enable kitl should be no
clean registry hive should be yes
format storage should be yes
In Windows Mobile 5 or 6 the camera and record buttons works properly, but when I reset the device and press the record and camera button quickly before the the version appears (radio,etc).. i can´t change the optios. It´s seems like the buttons don´t work. But i know that the buttons works, but the buttons don´t change the options. It´s very stranger.
In the power button is seemed. I can switch on the device, i can switch on/off the screen if I press and hold the button but i Can´t switch off the device. It´s incredible. My buttons are crazy. So i want to do downgraded to WM2003 ( so I need to do hard reset).
Do you know why are my buttons crazy????
Thank for your answer, and sorry for my english
Ciao
Hi,
Just wondering if you resolved the issue. I am having a similar problem on pda2k upgrading from wm5 to wm6. Buttons work except during boot menu so i cannot change options.
Appreciate your help.

Hi,
I have an exact problem as you. I've followed any info about hard reset, I've red wiki 100times, searching using Google but perform hard reset or enter to bootloader mode on my BA is IMPOSSIBLE!
In November I've upgraded to WM6, ROM from pdaviet, OS 5.2.2000 (Build 20000.1.0.0.PV.HAT)
MDA is working without problems, I can use phone, wifi, camera, record, BT, ActiveSync 4.5.
Right now I want to upgrade to new ROM from pdaviet but I stuck with a step: enter to bootloader mode
I've tried psShupXP software, which is capable do a hard reset. Still no luck, after software hard reset my BA comes on with all files installed...
Unfortunatelly mtty doens't works too, I can't see any WCEUSBSH001 port...
I'm not alone, but the bad news is that I don't find any solution
Thanks for any hint
R.V.
I have the same problem as you do, except I can enter BootLoader and Hardreser, but I can't turn off my device with power button, and if I hold it for long it shuts the backlight.
If anyone had any sucess solving this please share how...
Thank you.

I am following the same exact steps...flashed rom for the 5th time...hard reset is not working. The problem...'Mail' button (the hardware key) does not respond. I can change the options from No to Yes. But after pressing the 'mail' button nothing happens. Please let me know if there is another way to clear the registry hives and format the storage!!!
have you guys tried the MTTY alternative? i think it's somewhere here in the forum.
I am having the problem described in here.
By holding the record & media button, it *does* go to the hard reset menu, so obviously the record and wm buttons do work (ie is not a physical problem with the buttons), since these buttons do get it to the menu, it just does not allow any changes to the options (KITL, format storage, format registry hive)...
It is maddening, because I am stuck with the oldish pdaviet WM6 rom that crashes for me all the time and I want to try the newer 6.1 ROMs but can't hard reset and have seriously considered finding another used BA on ebay to start fresh it is driving me so nuts.....
I am about to search for the MTTY method described by samurai above... assuming I locate and can do it, I'll post results....
what do you mean "it just does not allow any changes to the options"? do you mean it wont let you navigate through each options? or do you mean it wont let you change from yes to no or no to yes?
any changes to the options are executed only after you have pushed the "mail" button

Help me please!
What was the last thing you did before it stopped working?
Did you install something?
Are you sure you preformed hard reset? You must hold power + camera + comm manager buttons (all on the sides) then press and release the reset hole (at the bottom).
Then you will see a question asking you to confirm hard reset. If I remember correctly you need to press 'send' (the green phone button) to preform hard reset.
Please be sure to read the instruction on he screen.
See the wiki:
http://wiki.xda-developers.com/index.php?pagename=Flash_From_Bootloader
You have a G3 device, so make sure if you use a RUU, you use a G3 specific one.

Hard reset dind't work

Hi everybody,
on my Trinity hard reset doesn't work anymore. After for example flashing with a new rom bootloader just blinking. OS is booting normally but hard buttons doesn't work only the "joypad" in the middle. For hardreset i have to press Send button to accept hard reset when i remeber well. But nothing happend when pressing the button. In fact that the device wants a hardreset, softreset is the same problem. I have to replace battery to access OS and boot device. Has anybody a solution? Or is there a progam for WM which can make a hardresend?
€dit:
Is it possible that something is wrong with the bootloader?
thanks and best

I searched google and got the method to hard reset.
-------------
To perform a hard reset (Full Reset) press and hold the left SOFT KEY and the right SOFT KEY, and at the same
time, use the stylus to press the RESET button at the middle left side of your device.
Release the stylus, but continue pressing the two SOFT KEYs until you see the following message on the screen:
This operation will delete all your personal data, and reset
all settings to manufacturer default. Press Send to restore
manufacturer default, or press other keys to cancel.
Release now the two SOFT KEYs, and then press the TALK (Send) button
---------------------
But when I press the reset button phone restarted but nothing siplayed as mentioned above. Again it went to windows screen and hung there! Cant even do hard reset? What can I do now? Please hlep.
