Cannot reset After repeatedly following the instructions to reset my device, it still will not reset. The instructions are to remove the battery then reconnect it, and turn the player on. This is just not working. What can be wrong and what should I do now?

To reset a device to factory defaults, you will need to follow the specific instructions for your device. If you do not have access to the settings on the home page and do not know the password, you will need to try the following steps:

1. Check the documentation or manual that came with your device. It may provide instructions on how to reset the device to factory defaults.
2. Check the manufacturer's website for support and information on resetting the device. They may have instructions or a tool that can help you reset the device.
3. If none of the above options are available, you may need to physically reset the device. This typically involves pressing a reset button or removing and reinserting the battery (if the device has a removable battery). Consult the documentation or manual for the specific location of the reset button or instructions on how to remove the battery.

Note: Resetting the device to factory defaults will erase all data and settings on the device, so make sure to back up any important information before resetting the device.

How to Reset a Blackberry


There are three main types of Reset that apply to the Blackberry. These are listed in order below. Instructions for Blackberry Pearl are slightly different - see bottom section of the Tip.

1) Soft Reset - simply press the ALT+RIGHT SHIFT(CAP)+DELETE keys.

This reset stops all applications that are running on the Blackberry and will help if you are having problems connecting the device to computer. This reset will not erase any information from your device.

2) Double Soft Reset - this reset is almost equivalent to a full hard reset. First perform a Soft Reset as outlined in Step 1.

As soon as the screen is no longer black - repeat the steps once again exactly as before.

This takes you to another screen showing an hour glass. Allow the device to reset. This helps if the device has suffered a more serious error. Be aware you may loose some information from your device. A backup is advised prior to proceeding if at all possible.

3) Hard Reset - this is the full blown reset and will fully reset the device to help resolve critical errors with software or hardware. Again back up important information before proceeding if possible.

Note: For RIM models 850, 857, 950, or 957, you must insert the end of a paperclip or similar blunt object into a small recessed hole on the back of the unit and depress the switch inside. The device will reboot and be hard reset.

Other Models: With the device turned on - remove the battery for 30 seconds or more. Now replace the battery. The device will reboot and be hard reset.

Blackberry Pearl: To reset to factory defaults enter 'Options' from the main menu. Scroll to Security Options and press the trackball. Choose 'General Settings'.

Press the left soft key, then scroll to "Wipe Handheld" with the trackball and press the trackball. To initiate the factory reset, your phones security code may be required in order for the process to complete. Your phone will now be restored to its original settings on leaving the factory.

A hard reset can be achieved with the Pearl in the same way as outlined at Step 3 by removing the battery.

Be aware that resets such as these may erase data, such as contacts, ring tones, pictures, text messages and stored Internet files and emails. Make sure to back up important information beforehand if at all possible. You can obtain software to back up the device to your computer directly from Blackberry Below.

Hope this Tip helps. If so please do leave a vote for the solution.

Thanks.

"Perform a hard reset on the handheld by pressing the Alt key + the Cap key + the Del key, 2 times"





To specifically answer your question, a hard reset is simple a removal of the battery and reinserting it.

However, you wish to do more than that, you want to wipe the device.

You will need to use JL_Cmder to wipe the device and subsequently load the OS to the device. Follow the instructions here:

Try to hard reset your device. Your device will return to its factory defaults. Your device's user manual tells how to do it. Just in case you don't have it, press and hold both softkeys. Whilst keeping them pressed, briefly press the reset pin with the stylus pen. Release the keys as further instructions come up on-screen. Just follow them.
Hope your device comes back to life soon.
Cheers! Carlos
