How do I Hard Reset Xda Mini S?

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!

Answer the phone on speaker....?

Is it possible to answer the phone on speaker with one button ranther than answer then hit speaker.
I was looking for something like mapping the "Answer" softkey key, not the green handset button, to "Speaker". I think the answer button is worthless as it is just above the pickup button so these 2 buttons do the same job.
Any thoughts?
Thanks for thinking

Couldn't you press green to answer, then hold green to enable speaker?
1 key, 1.5 clicks? 25% saving!

Testing now.
Press to answer, then press/hold to speaker... cool.

First, you have to have the phone on , then press the camera button till the end, meanwhile, do a soft reset, pressing the soft reset buttom with the stylus, keep pressing the camera buttom eh, and now your phone will turn off and then it will appear a screen with 3 colors. So easy like this

OK, by viewing the video, I think I understand....
the problem is with my camera button, which needs too much pressure to work! I saw in the video that when the guy presses the camera button he gets the camera working; in my case this needs extra pressure!
Thanks!

Thank you about your advice about the bootloader page... but it doesn't solve the Splash Screen is White... Apparently it seems that my rom is also no longer can be flash!! (TT)

Ok now, I have my situation solved!
I had to turn it back to the original SPL and then putinthe official ROM to make it back up to the Original state... then re Hard-spl again....
Thanks!
