knowyourcell.com/samsung/samsunggalaxys/galaxy-s-guides/498616/how_to_hard_reset_the_samsung_galaxy_s.html
Don't know it that works
tried the hardware method didn't work.
u can do factory reset by settings->privacy.
Or you can try *2767*3855#
I'm also wondering how to factory reset!! (yes I know it's in Privacy) but it keeps telling me cannot reset because clear service is not available
1 Select call.
2 Dial *2767*3855#

did you get any solution for this?
my i9000 says the same "clear service is not available" - none of the suggested solutions works for me.
the reset option in privacy worked for me. my firmware is jf2, by the way, if that matters..
Try this
Shut your Android Galaxy S down (Power off) or remove Battery.
Now press Volume up, Home and Power together.
If the Samsung Symbol is comming up leave the Home Button.
Then there is a boot Menu
Volume Up and Down to Navigate , Home to select the choosen option.

thanks man ,you made job easy.
Isn't hard resetting just removing the battery?

no
hard reset, means something like FORMAT the phone, and restore the backup from Factory
If the phone has already been rooted, will the hard reset "unroot" it, so that you need to reapply the rooting procedure?
depends... to my best "guestimate" if you are on stock official ROM, chances are yes, you'll need to unroot again.
if you are using custom ROM, then it'll revert back to the clean state of the custom ROM you installed
i've not yet had the need to hard reboot, i'll find out in the near future
I just did a hard reset because I want to send my unit it for replacement.
How can I tell if the device is still rooted? I want to make sure they don't see any sign of rooting.
Edit:
The post below explains the unrooting procedure:

But, where can I get the "odin3" for my phone which I bought from Optus Australia?
So the factory reset didn't unroot the phone?

Correct. It doesn't. After the wiping of data, it rebooted and presented the option of running the update.zip thingy, which I did not choose. Yet, it is still rooted. I could still see the icon called user permission. I can still install the screen capture program that requires rooting.
If you want to unroot, you probably have to use the procedure in my link above. The problem is I don't know where I can get e Odin3 file for Optus Australia.
My firmware details are as follows:
PDA I9000DTJF3
Phone: I9000DTJF3
CSC:I9000OPSJF1
When we unroot, this Odin3 thingy is to refresh which portion? All three or just one of them?
I just noticed that after hard reset, my music, video, pictures are not erased.
Isn't this strange?
^^ My internal SD card was wiped clean. Shows 13.43 GB total space and 13.43 available space
Will doing a hard reset reinstall all of the ATT features that were removed after rooting?
Hello people i got a galaxy s - not rooted running on gingerbread 2.3.3. Sometimes when i try to type a phone number with the dialer the phone "kicks" me bac to the home screen. It doesn't allow me to type the number. Any ideas why is this happening? I did a factory reset but even after that the issue continues. Thank you.
Hmhh it is difficult to say ...any new apps installed???
Maybe a fixed bug with 2.3.6 because you use 2.3.3 ???

Yeah this happened to my device once but a soft reset fixed it. Try clearing your memory.
Thanks!!!

Hi all,
I am the new owner of a Moto G (2014) a few weeks now but since last weekend, I have been having major issues with my wi-fi. It refuses to turn on for me for some reason. The phone is not rooted and I have tried a factory reset from the settings menu so not sure what is causing the issue with the wi-fi. The phone is otherwise working fine bar the battery has been draining a lot quicker the last few days. Would appreciate any help with fixing this.
Do factory reset or flash stoc firmware.
