Even though O2 says that users cannot perform resets themselves, I did it by using the original reset method for HTC Tanagers/Voyagers:

Make sure that your phone is turned off and you have a MMC/SD card inserted in your phone. It is advisable that you remove the battery for 5 seconds before proceeding.

Press and hold the record button.

While still holding the record button, press the power button. A white screen will display with the text 'Card Found' at the topmost portion.

After a few seconds, you will see the message 'Press any key to enter bootloader'. When you see this press and hold the action key.

A list will appear on your screen. Choose 'Erase IPSM' by using the navi button or pressing 8. You will see something like this text written on the screen:

"Erase IPSM

Flash identify OK

INTEL 28F128J3A

Flash erase OK"

At the bottom of the screen you will also the text 'PASSED'

Remove the battery and wait for 30 seconds.

Replace the battery and turn on your phone. The startup time of your phone will take several minutes the first time you turn it on after the hard reset.
