Hi,
I broke my Hermes and want to sell it as defective through Ebay but I want to HR it before shipping to delete my contacts. The problem is, I have the white screen/ non-functioning d-pad problem so I cannot do a normal HR since the buttons don't work.
Any ideas how to HR W/O screen or buttons?
Cheers
press the left and right menu keys (keys above the menu and OK keys) and press the reset button with the stylus.

Ive had a problem with a dead XDA2, ive been helped out alot but ive got one stupid problem.
They all tell me to press the D pad directional pad inwards, press the power button and soft reset.
I can do the first 2 fine but i dnt know what soft resetting is. Is it a program, is it something on the phone, if so where id it please.
Please could someone help me on this.
Thank-you
Don't be serious
To get in Boot loader mode
Just press D-pad + Power button + soft reset button
The soft reset button is on the bottom of your device
You will notice the tiny hole. Just put your stylus into it and push it firmly.
Hi everybody,
I just can't seem to reset my K-Jam. I tried it a dozen times but it still is a soft reset. Ok before everybody get's angry: I know how to hard reset (hold the two side top buttons and press the reset button). I tried it in different timings like first holding down the two side top buttons then pressing the resetbutton and holding it for almost a minute. Or first pressing and holding the reset button and then the two buttons but it is always a soft reset.
I guess it is a soft reset because I don't get the calibrate screen thing.
Any tips here because I want to get rid of the slowdowns from the virusprogram....?

Hi,
I had the same problem. Theres a facility in settings called 'Clear Storage'
start>settings>system>'Clear Storage'
this actually does a hard re-set.
Thanks Webster,
I didn't think of that one! That did the trick!

Hold down the Comm Button and Voice Button continuously while tapping the reset hole.
As long as you keep holding down the two buttons, the screen will go black and soon prompt you to hit Send to hard-reset (wipe the unit), or any other key to continue with a soft-reset (reboot).
Thanks Beyondthetech,
I'll try that next time when I need it :wink: .
Great blog you have! Has been very useful in making up my mind.
I'll install TT 5 later now I know how it can be done. :lol:

Just a small update
Just to let you guys now. I finally found out the proper way to hardreset.
The trick is not to let go of the Communications and Voice Command button until you have stopped pressing the soft reset hole. Just wait with releasing the two buttons until there is a message on the screen asking you to press the Sent key to hard reset.
Another funny thing is that you can restore a backup (made with Sunny Backup) on another K-Jam device. It still runs. This came in handy because I exchanged mine for another because of some hardware problems.

Which one is the "Sent key".
the telephone "call" key (green handset) (left side)
Tried to install VGA files from here. Now on soft reset mx xda exec hangs on boot with select/exit options on the bottom of the screen but gets no further than the o2 logo.
Im away from home, can anyone tell me how to hard reset.
Thanks!

hold the two '-' buttons on the top row where the red and green phone buttons are (all on the keyboard) and then press the reset button. keep buttons held til u see the menu screen.
Thankyou! phew!
Hi. Every time a reminder pop up, the 2 bottom hard buttons that correspond to the soft button don't work. if i press on the display, the fuction works, if i press the hard one, don't work... gettin' crazy
Hey everyone, just got a Hermes100 and installed a new 6.5 rom and trying to hard reset after flashing as it is advised, but my phone does not hard reset!
I press Windows Key + OK Key at the same time (Above the Send/End Keys), while they are pressed together I click in reset, then let go of 2 keys together. (even tried holding them longer and shorter).
I concluded i'm either doing somewthing terribly wrong or my phone has no hard reset for some reason (2nd hand phone).
I have soft reset and bootloader works.
Is there another way to hard reset? that actually has the same result as one.
thanks heaps guys!
My hermes has a crappy screen too, white flickers (slight) now and again when booting up (anyone have this)?
I'm not certain which keys you are pressing, (windows and okay keys are below start/end in my t-mobile vario 2).
You need to hold the 2 soft-keys, (directly below the screen) and keep holding them after you press reset until the confirmation screen comes up. Then press R.
I have a JasJam, there are Windows and Ok keys are above send and end on JasJam.
I read somewhere the soft keys are the Win + OK keys, but it seems they vary on device model.
OK, I have 2 keys below the screen, then below them are Win + OK, then below that is the Green + Red Send/End keys... so i shuld be pushing the 2 closest to the screen?
OK, now my screen has gone white,,, argh (not related). will try when i fix it.
Good luck with that.
The softkeys are the two which are the same as the bottom taskbar in windows, so it sounds like it IS the 2 closest to the screen.
Thanks jez83uk, you are correct, the guide I read was wrong, well i suppose it depends on Hermes 100, 200 or 300.
Mine is JasJam Hermes100 and the 2 keys are the closest to the screen, and it now HR's no problems.
cheers for the help matey!
