Clear storage - hard reset is done via software.

No problem
Hi guys
I upgraded my XDA II a long time ago from 2003 to WM5, and all was fine, however any time I put a new version on 6.1, I still get the old programs installed from a previous version. I tried "downgrading" back to 2003 and there it works fine, however any time I install a 6.1 ROM, the old apps (and their error messages) keep coming back.
Is there a way that I can COMPLETELY wipe my Himalaya device and then install a 6.1 ROM from fresh?
Your help is greatly appreciated
Jim
do you HARD RESET, clear storage?, i mean the steps where you set it to NO, YES, YES? hard reset for 2006/2005 is different from 2003.
Hey Paul
Thanks for the fast reply... The answer to that part is NO... And that's because the camera button on my XDA is broken and so am unable to do that key sequence...
Any other ways to do the hard reset (with an application or such like)
Thanks
Jim
thats highly unlikely... the new roms(wm6.x) arent hard resetted by the usual manner the old ones were... for wm6.x the whole no, yes, yes routine is necessary... unless maybe some1 builds a rom that isnt hard reset persistent(thats wht they write with these roms n i think thats why these roms dont get cleared with the old hard reset).
Thanks for that...
... So if I understand you correctly, I DO need to run the NO, YES, YES routine to clear out all the other rubbish on my system... But if I can't do the keystrokes, can anyone think of a way that I can emulate this...
Thanks
Jim
My understanding is that there is no work around for this. How is the button broken? Is the whole button not there? or is the button there but the internal workings are broken?
Hi All
I'm a relatively new user here.
I've got a HTC Kaiser and just upgraded from Wm6 to 6.1 and tried restoring a backup done from wm6 using SPB Backup. It performed the restore and reset the device.
Now its stuck at the password screen and my password isn't working.
Is there anyway for me to boot up in Safe Mode and sort this out? Even if i have to restore factory settings or re-install the rom I dont mind, I just need to get into the device.
Please please please someone help me!
Thanks in advance.
u could try a hard reset.
If I'm correct, the hard reset is holding down the two soft keys?
I tried this and it doesnt even perform a hard reset. All it's doing is stuck on the password screen.
Is there another way to hard reset the device?
edit> Sorry I was being a total noob! Didnt know i needed to hold the soft reset as well as the soft keys. AFter a few good searches I found the answer here:

hard reset is holding down the 2 soft keys while inserting ur stylus into the soft reset hole at the bottom of ur phone. read the kaiser wiki.
Hi
I have searched but am in trouble. I flashed SJ 15 Nov rom and have lost the use of my hardware buttons. ( send key, end key & directional button) I want to flash an earlier rom but in need to know if there is another way to do a hard reset after the flash with making use of the hardware soft keys which is used in a normal hard reset.
Help would be great.

Try Clear Storage under Start > Settings > System.

Dave, thanks for the reply. I thought that a clear storage was different to a hard reset. Can you confirm a clear storage is the same as a hard reset.
Thanks. Richard

Both remove all user data from the device and restore it to the state it was in when the ROM was flashed.
There was some discussion over differences but I can't recall any.

Thanks again Dave, tried search in a few forums but could'nt find any article referring to differences. Will try clear storage but just a nuisance not having function of hardware keys.
Hi guys,
Just a quick question - does a hard reset edit the firmware in anyway?
Thanks in advance
No.
A hard reset loses all data that's not part of the ROM (firmware) except for anything that's on the internal storage card.
