Desperate to do a hard reset - P3300, MDA Compact III General

Excuse my poor writing English.
I was cleanig my sd card whith sk tools program, and I made a mistake and clean all files from main memory.
Now I don't have access to the programs, and the soft reset and the camaras buttons don't work.
How can I do a hard reset in these circumstances?
Please help. I really need the phone working.
Thanks.

hard reset is usually done by holding in the top two inner (menu) buttons while pressing the soft reset button, let go the reset button first then when the warning comes on screen release the other 2. Then press call to start the reset process.

Thank you for the answer.
The problem is the soft reset button doesn't work.
Is there other way to do the hard reset?

hard reset
You shold do:
Start>settings>system>clear storage> it is a hard reset too

Surely if the files on the phones memeory has been wiped the pressing the buttons on the handset will be pointless as there will be no programmes/commands linked to them
Sounds pretty serious to me

Maybe you can try a reflash of the rom?

Thank you.
It seems that I have a serious problem.
If somebody know another way of doing the hard reset, please inform.

hallo
i have another problem..my XDA ist blocked(security code ist unknown, job of my soon..
when i making hard reset, then XDA in the screen has 3 collored thong with these nr"I PL 1.25.0001 and SPL 1.25.0000"
when i push volume button up or down, with reset button xda start normally but ask for code
What ??is this??
P.S.
and i must wait for acces to enter code 8 to 16 min
Regards for All
Arthur

Ok, seems that the only way is to do a refash of the rom.
How do I make that?
Please help
Thanks.
PS: In the process I hope not to use the active sync, because it doesn't work in my computer

dude i guess you need to reflash the rom
yes you need active synch to run uspl which you need before you flash/reflash a rom
your alternatives
use SD flashing read about it in wiki xda developers i never used it but its there
all the best sincere wishes to recover your pda

just another two thoughts are you aware that if you hold the power button the phone restart it like soft reset!! so i guess you may want to try this b4 anything else i mean hold the two soft buttons & attempt reset via power!!
you may also want to try a programme called IBE Tweaks it has HARD RESET feature built in it!!
let us know how things go

Reflash the rom & dont forget to run a uspl first

After several attempts finally I managed to do the hard reset using the buttons, and my pda is work fine again
In any way, I will try your indications to prevent futures problems.
Thanks jahrami, you have been very useful.

U most welcome so glad u got ur phone back
Congratulations

Universal (JasJar) is now brick after radio update attempt

Ouch!!!!!
I tried the radio update, during which I got a communication error.
Now I have a brick!
The blue i-mate screen comes up. the rom info is displayed (radio still says 1.03.00) and there it is stuck.
Now what? Hard reset? (how do you hard reset from that point?)
Bootloader? How is that done?
Please help. I am off to go under my blanket to cry.
Just retry the radio update again and again, put it in bootloader
How do I get bootloader? I tried the camera+power+reset combination but it still does the same thing, no bootloader menu.
Or do I have to have the bootloader files in the storage card first?
Can I also get help on how to extract the files. I don't know where the installer is putting the binaries, and at this point I would very much prefer not guessing what files to put where.
bootloader
try this
light + power + reset

That did something. Now I have a white screen (no light) that says "Serial" on top and "v 0. 60" at the bottom.
I have the following files in the sd:
EnterBL.exe
GetServiceData.exe
radio_.nbf
RUU.conf
RUU.dll
UI.dll
But it is not doing anything.
yes, now it's in bootloader. Now connect the jasjar to your pc and execute the upgrade. If it doesnt work kill the activesync processes (WCESMgr.exe and wcescomm.exe) and repeat the upgrade
OK! That seemed to work, but it still gets stuck at the bootup screen (except now it shows the new radio version).
The update program asks for a hard reset, but others in another thread mentioned they did not need a hard reset after this update.
Is there something else I can try before trying a hard reset?
I just spent a week to set the damned thing to the way I like, and don't want to do all that again.
I didnt hard reset. try resetting 2 or 3 times. If it doesnt work then hard reset
I took out the battery. Will wait a bit and try resetting a few times.
How long does it take for yours to show some activity after the rom versions are displayed?
It does take longer for this device to bootup, but I wonder if the new rom made a difference there.
Usually the blue boot screen disappears in 30 seconds. But when i installed pocket plus many times it keeped freezed and a had to reset 3 o 4 times.
Is your case?

Hmm. I don't have pocket plus, but I have the spb gprs monitor (or whatever it is called) at the startup. Maybe that's causing a problem with the new radio.
I will reset 3 - 4 more times and then do a hard reset.
If it does not come back from hard reset, the bawling you hear all the way out there is me.
he he . I ve spb gprs monitor too and it works fine.
good luck :wink:
When perform soft reset, wait 1 or 2 minutes before doing other soft reset
OK, now it is time to cry.
It is not coming back from hard reset either.
It is officially a brick. Any more ideas? Please?
thy to make the update again. Perhaps this revives it
if a radio update is available, maybe a rom update is around the corner.
Or just a recovery standard rom
Does exits an official rom to reinstall jasjar rom?
I am doing the radio update again to see if that helps.
I will probably need to contact imate support for a recovery rom image I suppose. I suppose I should tell them what I was doing.
But this update was from imate, right, so I didn't do anything "wrong".
If someone has a rom, please let me know.
So, I am getting the runaround.
iMate says they don't have the rom to send me and I should send the device to the service center. The service center says they don't work on JasJars there.
So I am stuck with a paperweight?
Try Hard reset....
Just try to Hard reset .. most probably one of your already installed S/W causes the machine to hangup.... once you clear after Hard reset it should boot up.. worse while before sending it back to imate and being blamed for loading un-official and not released update... Unfortunatly there no "shipped rom" yet. you best choice to recover the paper weight is to hard reset and perhaps load S/W again. ... I have been trying to dump the rom for days with no success .. once one of us can do it we are releaseed.
Good luck
Re: Try Hard reset....

Already did the hard reset (many times) and nothing changed.
The problem started after the radio update, and the hard reset does not reset that update (I see the new version on startup).
Unless there is a harder reset I can do, I suppose I will have to wait for the rom.
makes a grown man cry...

Please Help!?!? ATT 8525 No Working

I have installed one of the ROMs here and it was a beta version....I didn't know and now my phone don't work at all.....I can't do anything....the power/ ok/ stylus button thing doesn't work for me....have tried a hard reset but it goes back to the "This is a beta version screen"....please some one help....
What if you try another Hard Reset and on the screen when it asks for preess screen , do a left side ok + right power hold buttons and soft reset with stylus while you still pushing the buttons. Do you see 4 colors?
Plug it and install aonother rom
Doing a HR may not help as it is probably a timebomb. I'd suggest reflashing another rom.... This will get rid of the "Beta Version" message. A lot of people have been caught by this when a rom released by PDAViet went bung. Not their fault as it probably surprised them too, they released an updated versio without the time bomb today....YAY!!!!
Cheers...

Just double checking, The POWER BUTTON, THE OK BUTTON NEXT TO THE FLYWHEEL AND THE STYLUS RESETTING ALL HELD TOGETHER UNTIL BOOTLOADER APPEARS.........
Sorry if this seem like I'm treating you like a noob but the amount of posts sugggest this. A lot of noobs think that a HARD RESET is the same as goining into BOOTLOADER.......
If you have installed Hard SPL, and get to bootloader, you can reflash a new rom onto your device.
IF you get to bootloader,
1). Format an sd card fat32.
2). Copy .nbh file from your pc onto the sd card and rename it to "hermimg.nbh"
3). Put sd card into phone and go to bootloader.
4). Follow instructions to flash.
MAKE SURE YOU HAVE AT LEAST 50% BATTERY POWER......
This will put a new os on your hermes. Make sure its NOT 19949 as this is a beta test version....(not all but unless you're sure, DON'T)
Hope this helps... Cheers....
Here we go....another one flashing ROM's without reading a damn thing in this forum! Gawd this is frustrating!!
Yeah, I know ai6908. But I'd prefer to help them flash properly now then to have to sit there for ages trying to get information out of them to help unbrick their phones. Besid, if we get the noobs up to speed fast , then they can help the next generation of noobs instead of us old farts....

Why are you suggesting SD Card flashing? If he puts the PDA in Bootoader he can normally flash another ROM...

Diamond dead during hard spl update

HI all! It will be more then great if anybody can help me.
The story is simple one guy decide to unlock his Diamond throw some free way ( I don't know how exectly ) he end with error 260 and DEAD Diamond.
The device does not get into bootloader when pressing Vol_- + reset.
Now this Diamond in my hands.
Can anyone please advice what can I do? can I flash ROM?
P.S. this phone are new and Orange UK branded.
Please help and sorry for my poor English.
something? PLEASE!
You mention you can not get into boot loader by pressing
Vol_- + reset.
Click to expand...
Click to collapse
On the Diamond you can access bootloader by jsut reseting and holding down the "Vol Down" Key only...
Try this and report back.
Where is this error 260 indicated ? If the ROM starts up and shows some error, the bootloader will work for sure.
Cya,

Have you tried another battery?

2. with a fully charged battery, reset your device (hard reset) press Volume down + centre round button + soft reset(behind battery cover) all at the same time, release soft reset but keep holding volume down + centre button. You should now have a white screen advising you what to do to complete the hard reset.
Click to expand...
Click to collapse
Only to make a bit easy this step cause in this way one would be an octopus , soft reset your device with stylus and then, within 3 seconds, hold Vol down + centre round button until you see the tricolour screen. Release the buttons and follow the instructions (Press Vol Up to restore to manufactured settings).
This is the typical case when someone didnt do his homework. Im sure you didnt read the stickies. Poeple be warned, flashing your device can kill it if you dont have a clue on what you are doing. Ive seen a bunch of n00bs bricking their devices just because the didnt read the forum. This question has been ansewred a lot.

Error 260 is a USB communication error. Did this happen during sim unlock or during hardspl install because the thread title says one thing and your post says another.

I installed Nataly Rom on my phone and since that time, my phone start to hard reset more and more often (3 times today)
Now I don't think that this has anything to do with the rom, but more with my phone.
Now, If I turn on my phone, I just get my red vodafone screen and nothing else happens.
I tried a hard reset, even with a complete format, wich now puts my phone completly bank, but still it won't pass my red vodafone screen.
Does anyone have suggestions of how to boot it up again?
please help

try putting your phone into the bootloader screen and reflash with another rom.
I have a friend that had this problem with his phone. In his case there was a problem with the pagepool, installing a different rom as cobbs stated was the solution for him as well.

some of us have had this problem already - my advice- use tbe search function 'cmd task 29' is the answer
Hi Gort
Thanks for the wonderfull advise.
I already thought my phone was a gonner, but now I can work with it again.
For all the people who experience a phone that keeps hard resetting more often and eventually cant boot at all, here's what to do.
Procedure:
1. bring the device to bootloader.
2. Launch ActiveSync on PC
3. Go to connection settings
4. Uncheck the Allow USB Connection
5. Now, run mtty1_1_.42_538 on PC.
6. If you have run mtty1_1_.42_538, just press the button USB
7. Type CMD
8. Type task 29 and let the program do his work a bit.
9. after that, flash with the rom of your choice
here is the link to mtty1_1_.42_538
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=490182&page=4
Thanks for all the help guys, most appreciated
and hopefully this thread will help others now as well
edit: Link updated, should work fine now
problem flashing
