Blind Hard Reset


Recommended Posts

The screen is damaged on my SPV and I am getting a replacement (courtesy of o care) but I would like to wipe all my personal information before returning it to Orange.

Can anyone talk me through the key press combination required to perform a hard reset?

Thanks for the tip but I know how to do a hard reset I was just seeking advice on doing a hard reset without being able to see the screen, i.e. some insight into the timings involved.

I understand that the timings may differ from phone to phone and thus my task may be impossible (not to mention the fact that I won't even be sure that it worked!) but I thought it worth asking anyway.

BTW I should have added that I have a bog standard 1.3.5.6 Original SPV.

Oh sorry!

Errm on mine it's roughly,

hold down side button

power on

hold down action immediately for about 5-6 sec

press 8

wait for 30 secs and remove battery

good luck

Thanks for the advice but it's all moot now as the nice courier man just came and whisked away my faulty SPV :)

don't worry too much, hayes or most repairers simply erase everything immediately, it saves them time in the long run..
