XDA Mini S Reset - Format Everything
Press the soft reset button. (Under the IR port) As you let go of that reset button, make sure you are pressing both the comm manager button, AND the voice buttons. Thats the top left side and upper right side buttons. This is called a hard reset and WILL ERASE EVERYTHING prom the phones memory. Do the screen calibration and cut/paste bit. When it say’s “Tap the screen to start using your device”, be ready to press the soft reset again. This is because when you tap the screen, a customisation box will appear. PRESS THE RESET BUTTON, when you see this box. The phone reboots and hey presto, proper PDA, not o2’s idea of one. Hope this helps.
