I've been trying for a couple of hours: Press Comm Manager button and Voice Command button + reset button. Nothing happens--it just acts like a soft reset.
I need to do this because I believe my comm ports are messed up. I can't pair the device with a GPS.
I had the same problem with my GPS reciever but I just played with using different port setups and eventually figured it out... though I can't remember how.
Hard Reset
Press and hold the voice command button and comms manager button then use the stylus to press the reset button for about a second whilst holding the other two buttons down. After releasing the reset button and still holding the other two down wait until the screen gets some white writing on it about hard reseting and formating... this is the point you can now let go of the comms and voice buttons. Then press send

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!
Wouter
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)
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!

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...

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.

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.
Click to expand...
Click to collapse
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!

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:
Can anyone guide me how to hard re-set Wizard (Qtek 9100)
all i can do is soft-reset. I cannot find any button which could hard-reset it.
Start->settings->system->clear storage
Alternatively you can hold down the voice command button and comm manager button then press the tiny hole on the side with your stylus. (i think thats correct perhaps someone can refresh my memory)
Press & hold the Comm Manger button & Voice Command button on the device.
Keep the two buttons pressed and at the same time use the stylus to lightly press & hold the RESET button.
check for wizard manual @ xda ftp site..

I've just hard reset my phone this weekend :
1) Press & hold the Comm Manger button and Voice Command button on the device.
2) Keep these two buttons pressed and use your stylus to press the reset button.
3) Keep everything pressed for about 5seconds then release the Reset button (with your stylus)
4) Release the Comm Manager and Voice Command buttons
5) A message should appear on the screen
6) Press the green phone button to validate the hard reset ...
Thank you, You guys solved my problem.
thanks again
Heyhey,
I had to do a new romflash. After reading a bunch of posts, I found out that a hardreset for my Wizard is by pressing: Comm button + Voice command button and slightly push the softresetbutton.
but all this did not work for me.
I tried some other combinations, the only combination which worked for me is:
COMM button + Voicecommand button and power-on button.
Are there more people who have to use this combination for a hardreset?
Try pressing all the buttons again, but this time let off soft reset and continue to hold down comm manager and voice, after 10 seconds you should see a black scree with white text. Then you can release the other two buttons. If the black screen doesn't come up for 20 seconds or so, try removing and replacing the battery, powering up, and going through the motions again.
