Hi
We got a MDA Compact II for testing at work. Worked fine, but now the device is dead slow and needs ages to start. Soft reset didnt help and the main problem is we cant get the hard reset to work. From the manual it should be the Stand By Button + Reset Button pressed. But only thing that happens is that the screen goes black, nothing else. tried to hold it for longer time but no luck. It wont hard reset. We installed Mcaffee antivirus on it, it said it was the WM5 version but the uninstaller uses unload.exe which is not WM5 conform. Cant it lock the Hard Reset??
Anybody has a clue??
Thanks
Sascha

Hard reset on the MDA Compact II / HTC Charmer:
Press and hold both buttons on the left hand side (camera and record).
Use stylus to depress reset button.
Release reset button - keep holding the two side buttons for a count of 4 or 5.
Press the green phone button (Send) to format the phone.
Thanks. So the manual of t-mobile is wrong

Hi all
my device has become stuck and wont accept any screen inputs, but it will let me access some functions via the standard buttons. I think I need to perform a hard reset.
I have tried doing this by ressing power and soft reset but it doesn't seem to work.
As I dont have my booklet here I dont know if there's something else I should be doing.....
any advice at all please?
Thx
Press and hold both soft-key buttons, stick the stylus in the reset hole, release reset and wait for bootup to begin before releasing the soft-key buttons.
As I recall you get a confirmation screen.
Soft keys being the 2 hard keys above the ok and windows keys.
some random reason mine dosen't work
it will work.... use any solid PIN / Needle while prss n hold soft keys... mine worked
I did the Hard-SPL and followed the instructions to a T. The phone rebooted after the hards-spl and everything worked fine. I installed BlackBerry Connect to my device and it rebooted. Now it just sits at the windows mobile screen and won't proceed any farther. Anybody have an idea why? Or what I can do to get it working again? I did the HardSPL using windows XP and not vista.
When I enter the bootload this is what I get.
KAIS*0 MFG
SPL-1.0.OliPof
CPLD-8
Serial
Please help.
Anybody have any ideas?
Go to the wiki and look up how to flash from a microSD card, then flash a clean copy of whatever rom you had put on there so you can get a fresh start. Unless something is physically broken with the phone, that will save it. Saved me plenty of times.
Just had to do a hard reset. Fixed the problem. Loaded new HTC ROM everything is up and running.
How did you do the hard reset? I can't even get it to work. (hold right & left soft keys and press/release reset until some screen I never get)

hold the left and right soft keys while pressing the reset button simutaneously for 5 seconds.

continue holding the left/right soft key after you put the stylus to reset, and the extra screen will show up.

i held the cam.+ power button and held the reset button and its doin the same thing it does when i soft reset it
all 3 actions must be at the same time and hold for 5 secs. if you get the short vibrate, just keep trying over and over. it wont hurt anything. at least it never did to mine.
Yep, you cannot install the BB connect software to the SD card & then reset. Your device will be looking for the BB connect software before the device SD card has booted & come online.
HOWEVER,
with SK Tools you can go into the startup folder & reorder the start up files. If you move BB Connect down to the end of the start up sequence it might work. Well, it did for me. Ylu have to go in after installing though, & before the reset & change the start up sequence down so that it's the last item to auto start.
You will have this type of problem with any program you install to the SD card where the program has a higher priority auto start because as I said before, you have an item trying to boot before it's operating files are available. Therefore, you stop the whole boot sequence because it can't move on to the next start up item without finding the start item it's looking for.
AS for the Hard reset. I find the easiest way to do this is:
1. Soft Reset.
2. while the device is soft resetting depress both soft keys.
3. When you get to the first boot screen depress the soft reset key & hold while simultaneously holding the soft keys.
4. follow the instructions on the screen, i.e. push send (green phone button) to restore, etc...
Works every time for me.

This is not random!
When I press:
RightSoft + LeftSoft it always works.
LeftSoft + RightSoft it never works.
Sequence is important. Not sure if it is left or right first though.
If other can confirm, could someone put it in the wiki, please. I've pulled a lot of hair over this topic.

that is to enter BootLoader NOT to start a Hard reset. when holding the power AND the camera button then resetting using the stlyus you should see the tri-color screen listing your SPL, Kaiser model, and one more thing i forget right now
EDIT - Make sure you are not pressing the ok button while going into BootLoader as the way the buttons are laied out its easy to press the ok by mistake.
Anyone any ideas?
Cant soft reset anymore - still "feels" the same with the stylus, but it won't reset.
Now either removing battery or holding power button to reset
Hi, try this : http://www.pocketgear.com/en_US/html/display_product.jsp?id=prod6672748 .
Thank you
Still bother as to why the physical button won't work
Could be a problem should I ever hard reset
But thanks again for the utility
Sorry for the post hijack:
@Leez and nc35
I see you're both running a cooked rom on the Orbit 2, have either of you installed the Blackberry client and does it work on your roms?

Does anyone know how to reset a Samsung Omnia?
Mine's stuck at bootup and i cun press anything.
I need to know if there's a series of button presses b4 poking
with the stylus to hard reset the phone to factory settings.
Thx in advance.
Did you do anything to the phone, in terms of modification? I was really interested in that thing, but having to do a hard reset on a brand new phone is a little disconcerting...
I tried installed everything that i had on my touch cruise
and everything was working superb.
Then this morning i installed HTC Home Plugin v2.1
and that hung my phone after i restart.
Now i've got no way on getting pass bootup screen.
A google search of "hard reset omnia" yielded this.

26th June 2008: Was advised by the customer service rep (CSR) on the phone that the only way to solve my hanging issue is to bring to your Customer Service Center for a firmware software reinstallation.

How awfully true..
Just got back from the service centre at Plaza Singapura.
Yup. Upgrade of software was the way to go.
The lady did say that the hard reset was the same as HTC,
pressing of the call and end button thingy but mine couldn't work.
Anyway, it was silly of me to go install the HTC Home Plugin.
Thx anyway bros for all replies..
Omnia Rocks!!

turn your phone off, than press red and green buttons and after press phone on, you will get 2 options, 1 format: press phone on, 2 cancel: press phone off, in italy omnia this procedure is working.
It works man!!
Eureka!
Yes it does 2 x's now and one after a firmware update to version i900DXHK3/DXHK3 (Singapore). Which I did earlier today.
I had some how managed to put a pass I could not get right (how who knows).
After several attempts and finally an 8 min. mandatory wait. I did it. My final solution was that I had to wait and keep device awake for time to pass. 8 long agonizing minutes~!
1. Wait till reset timer is elapsed and devices is awake.
2. press both call and end button (ie green and red) I didn't press too light or hard just normal.
3. Push stylus on soft reset and within 5-8 secs eureka format screen.
4. hit call button.
This may not help every one but those with pass problems mab.
Hi,
My CECT X1 was playing up recently and whilst playing around with It I accidentally reset it and skipped the stylus calibration screen. The screen is also locked and I cant unlock it
Does anyone know how to hard reset a CECT X1
thanks in advance
i don't know CECT.
The technical support people where I bought the phone from claim to hard reset the device you hold the `volume up` button and the `camera` button while pressing the `power` button. After 100`s of attempts and differing combinations of this process I still cant get it to reset????
Try to remove the battery and then to press those buttons while fitting it back on.
Mobile phone developers are strange creatures and seem to have more than 5 fingers, so they come up with all this crap...
Cheers,
vma
thanks for the suggestion vma, I just spent 10 minutes trying it but still no luck
Sorry for late reply but I JUST found out the combination to hard reset the phone!
thoguiht I would share incase anyone else has the same problems
It is as follows:
press the following keys simultaneously: Camera button, power button & dial key (green key)
I now got my X1 back on the road
