I've got an O2 Stealth that I'm trying to clear the contacts and calender memory. I did a Google and it said to do a Hard Reset. So I followed the instructions, hold the Windows and OK key and hit the reset with the stylus. It seemed to work, but after about 2 blue bars into the reset (it says Format Dsk2 on the screen, black background) it says "Fail -Reboot", the phone automatically restarts and then hangs on the Welcom O2 screen (I waited 5 hours the first time).
I pulled out the battery, put back in and then the phone turns on and works like normal - but no data has been cleared.
Any ideas?

I am an avid kaiser user but I have some friends with the S710 devices and they have some wierd problems which I think would be solved by doing a hard reset but I do not know how to do this.
I can do it on my kaiser but how do I do it on the S710 device.
This device is also known as a vodafone v1415
Hi Tom Williams,
A hard reset is pretty standard with all handsets, I can help with this.
All you need to do is, while you're in one of the options on any of your menus, take the battery out of the phone to kill the power, then take out the SIM card for around 10 minutes.
Replace the SIM and battery and switch it back on, you will then update on the network.
Hopefullyuseful

Hard reset S710.
Hello
another way to this is:
1. Take out the battery.
2. put back the battery.
3. Hold in both keys next to the navigation button on the front keypad.
4. While holding in both buttons press the power button. make sure you only release the power button and keep holding in the other to buttons while the phone starts up.
4.once the phone indicates that it is resetting with a black screen with white text you can release the buttons.
5. Please keep in mind that if you do this all data will be lost. Make sure you save all your data before using this option. And all files on your storage card will be locked if they are marked for encryption on WM6.
So this should only be your last option to hard restart the phone.
One extra step!

Another method is to go to phone menu than go to Expert folder and open clear storage.
Hope this helps someone.
Hi,
I have upgraded my MDA to NO EVIL ROM Windows mobile 6 version from this forum. Device was working great for couple of weeks. Now suddenly it stopped booting. When I do soft reset the
S.N.E ... Presents screen comes up.
Then HTC Wizard screen comes up
The Touch No Evil screen come up and then it stays at the same screen. It does not respond even to power button now.
The radio light (green light) blinks. The system does not respond to even hard reset.
I am tosed. Please help. Any response to recover from this situation is usefull.
Thanks in advance...
From the sounds of it, something you have installed or configured isn't allowing the phone to finish booting. You basically have 2 choices at this point... Hard Reset or Reflash the phone.
When you say hard reset doesn't work, are you sure you are doing a hard reset? Pull the battery out and let the phone rest for a minute or so. Press the power button a couple of times (yes with the battery out) to discharge any power in the device. Then put the battery back in, and press the top two buttons on either side of the phone (Comm and Record), and while holding those in press and release the power button. After a couple of seconds you should have a black screen with white text asking you about resetting the phone. Press the Send key (the green phone key that you use to answer the phone) and you will have completed the Hard Reset. If you get errors then you need to tell us what they are. If you never get the black screen with white writing then you aren't holding the buttons down correctly.
To reflash the phone, put it in bootloader (press and hold the recorder button while pushing in and releasing the reset button (or while turing the phone on)). Once you get the tri color screen, hook up the USB cord and it should say USB in the lower left. Now you can flash it (even though the phone won't connect to ActiveSync).
Good luck and hope that helps.
Able to reboot
Thanks for the advise. After several tries, was able to hard reset and started booting and working OK.
I have not done any soft reset after this event. What should I look for to correct, if any errors.?. do you recommend that I reflash the ROM?. The only software, I had installed was Microsoft Voice recorder. I have not installed the same after the reboot.
Thanks

Now after resetting, I see my phone getting into vibration mode all the time. Even if I set to ring mode, it will automatically go back to vibration mode after some time. Any idea on how to fix the same?.
Thanks
Hi !
my phone hangs sometimes after 10-20 minutes of working.

holding volume down+call+power ...but phone just turned on.
holding volume down+hang+power ...but phone turned on too.
Are there other combinations to do hard reset on LG KS20 ?
You can hard reset your phone using only software buttons.
Just press Start - Settings - System - Clear Storage.-
i've tried to make a hard reset
phone is off. i'm pressing volume- and call then i'm clicking power - phone is on - LG logo appears, then orange logo is visible, i'm still holding volume- and call
after 10s LED blinks (three colours) - i'm releasing keys, then WM logo appears and phone starts.
but there is no hard reset, there are still additional programs and my messages.
btw
there is no Clear Storage under Start - Settings - System.
Hi,
I turned off my phone yesterday and then when I tried to turn it on again it got stuck at the white screen that appears at first - it shows the HTC logo and the information about the software in red letters. I waited for a few minutes but nothing happened, then I reset it from the button under the back cover and still the same thing happened - it stuck at the same point. Any ideas how to fix it? Thanks so much in advance!
Sounds strange, i would try to do a hard reset, but you´ll lose all your data on the device if you do this!
Any other ideas?

To hard reset your phone which means to delete ALL personal data and settings and have the phone in factory default conditions as if you turned on the phone for the first time after purchasing, press the following buttons:
1. With the device turned off, press and hold the VOLUME UP and VOLUME DOWN buttons, then briefly press the POWER button.
2. Continue pressing the VOLUME UP and VOLUME DOWN buttons until you see this message on the screen:
"This operation will delete all your personal data, and reset all settings to the manufacturer default settings. Press VolUp to restore manufacturer defaults, or press other keys to cancel."
3. Release the VOLUME UP and VOLUME DOWN buttons.
4. Press the VOLUME UP button to perform the hard reset, or press any other button to cancel the reset.
You can also use Clear Storage to reset your device back to factory default settings.
1. On the Home screen, slide to the Settings tab and then tap All Settings.
2. On the System tab, tap Clear Storage.
3. Enter “1234” and then tap Yes.
If you have HSPL applied, you could be able to use MTTY method and upload new ROM.
Mtty tool recovery is nothing to mess with, it is a last resort. If you don't know what you are doing, you can easily kill your phone.
Do a hard reset, if that doesn't work, ( I anm assuming that since this is your first post, you do not have a custom rom ) find a copy of your rom and re flash it. But try severral hart resets first.
Thanks to all of you guys. The hard reset did the trick. I had my data backed up on the SD card so I will restore it from there. Thanks for the help.
Hi, I have been flashed TAEL ROM, radio last month. Everything running fine until early of this morning.
I have not do any changes recently.
suddenly this morning I could not turn on the phone from standby. So I soft reset it, right after soft reset, it keep on reboot itself after reach TAEL ROM screen, sometimes after Windows Mobile screen.
I tried to get into bootloader screen but the nothing happened.
the reset button seems like cannot function now.
I press and hold vol down button then press on Reset but phone have no respond at all...
Anyone have experienced this and solved it?
Thank you!!
Try pulling out the battery for a while. That fixes this problem sometimes.
I would try a hard reset, if things do not improve.
Had to do one yesterday and it took me some time to find out how it's done for this phone so if you're not familiar with it here it comes:
1) Turn off the phone (take out battery for 5 sec, then put it back in)
2) Hold volume DOWN button and press the centre of the circle (enter button)
3) While holding those 2 buttons, power up the phone (and keep pressing this combination until you enter into bootloeader)
4) When in bootloader (I normally keep the volume DOWN and Enter button pressed, until I see the message in bootloader saying that in order to hard reset I should press volume UP, or any other key to cancel).
Hope this helps, and remember that you'll loose everything (programs, contacts, SMS, etc) if you do this.
Good luck.
Remove your sim and sd card before doing the hard reset..right?
It's not necessarily REQUIRED, but it is recommended.
