Hi all...

My Blue Angel wont hard reset. I just bought it second hand and have been trying to hard reset it. I read up and the instructions are to keep the power button pressed while resetting with the stylus. But no matter how many times I tried, this procedure only soft resets the device. Please help!:confused:

i think you make wrong HardReset.
for Hard Reset a BA just press RECORD+CAMERA/PLAYER+SOFT RESET 2 sec. and walaahhh.... there you go..:), You'll see three options on screen. You must change the second and the third to yes. If you are not developing/testing software you can disable the first debug option for better performance.
have a nice reset

Thank you soooo much Stevo... Ur method worked... I wonder why the wiki itself has the wrong method for hard reset... Maybe the hard reset varies from brand to brand... although it should not be since the hardware essentially is the same... Anyways... Hopefully one of the moderators would read this thread and add your method to the wiki...

Million thanks again... :)

I get that 3 choice screen, but how to I get it to hard-reset AFTER that? If I hit the soft-reset I get the same thing I have gotten for the whole day before. :-(

on the screen must be shown

enable kitl :choose no
clear registry hive : choose yes
format storage : choose yes

change it using the record and camera button.. after that use the mail button to proceed the hard reset

I also was scratching my head over the Hard Reset info in the Wiki not working. This procedure did the trick. Thanks for the help!

Also, for the poster who had trouble with the Mail button not initiating a reboot, just hold it until you get an all white screen, that's what I did and it worked like a charm!

Hi every1, the step does work & i would like to thks those who has shared there thought with all.

juz press the "mail" button for about 3 miniutes & you shud see a totally white blankscreen & then it will bring you to formatted WM6. whatever u install previously will be wipe out.

To the next member whois searchin for a solution here it is:

Problem:My O2 XDAiis won't hard reset. WM6 deep FROZED.

Solution: Extreme Hard Reset a XDAiis just press RECORD+CAMERA+SOFT RESET 2 sec. and walaahhh.... there you go.., You'll see three options on screen. Then use RECORD+CAMERA/PLAYER button to change the value on the setting.

Setting: on the screen must shown

enable kitl :choose no
clear registry hive : choose yes
format storage : choose yes

Finally: use the mail button(act as enter) to proceed the hard reset. U might need to press & hold it for 3minutes.

Kudos to original contributor :Stevo.Mksr(for method) , evoluzionne(for setting) & mysteroid(for keepin the faith).
