Press Start -> Settings -> System -> Clear Storage, press enter to launch, you will be prompted to type "1234" and to press Enter. If you do this you will lose all contents and the Dash will be restored to its original configuration. It takes about 5 minutes for it do this and reboot.

hold down the two soft keys and power the device on. Or you can also hold both soft buttons while pushing the stylus into the reset hole.

Not if mamadoharoona has updated the rom... Doing what DhaMajoR said will reset the Hermes to default BUT it uses the OS installed as the default. So, if you have flashed a new OS on your device you need to flash the WM05 stock rom to get that back, and good luck finding it...

Cheers...:D

You need to find the WM05 flash file, good luck with that as they are as hard to find as hen's teeth if you didn't keep a copy of your original WM05 rom.
Make sure you have Hard SPL V7 on your Hermes and then flash the new rom. I use the sd card method as it seems safer to me, my opinion, and is REALLY easy.

1. Format 2Gb or less sd card FAT32. Copy .nbh file of new rom to it and rename to hermimg.nbh .
2. Put sd card into Hermes and reset Hermes into bootloader.
3. If 1st two steps done right, follow the prompts. If not, just reset to get out of bootloader, fix up what needs fixing and try again.

Cheers...:D
