I have a T-Mobile MDA Compact II. I wanted to format/reset to factory default settings because it's getting slower as I have installed and uninstalled warez into it. I called T-Mobile about it and they have told me to do a soft-reset + power button - that's also what the manual says, but it doesn't work at all. Well, it just kind of refresh but it never really return to its original settings/factory default.

I am wondering if there's another way to do it, or is there any software to do the task?

thanks.

I got this from google -

Here is how to do real hard reset:

1. Depress the two left hand side buttons (camera and voice recorder) and
keep them held in.


2. Use the stylus to depress the reset button on the bottom of the unit and
release, whilst still holding the two side buttons.


3. Continue to hold the side buttons for a count of four or five.


4. A screen will appear asking you to press Send to confirm the re-format.
Press the Send button (the green phone) and your phone will be hard reset.


To avoid the network specific software being loaded run through the "copy
and past" exercise, set the time zone and a password if you want one. The
phone will then tell you that it's going to customise itself (or somesuch
message) in three seconds. Use the stylus to reset before the end of the
countdown and you will avoid the installation of the network specific
software.


WARNING: This means that you may not be able to connect to GPRS, send or
receive MMS and may lose some functionality supplied by your phone network.
If in doubt (and if you are unable to install from the EXTENDED_ROM cab
files) then

it may well be best to let the networks specific software install
itself.

I am using NOKIA 6630 mobile phone. The phone resrarts automatically within 2 minutes if the bluetooth is made off. The network identity is not displayed. The set is infected by CommWarrior.
I want to format the set inorder to bring it in its original factory setting. How could I get rid of the problem?

Well I found out how to hard reset it. But remember a hard reset WON'T revert back any type of flash update or anything -

To do a hard reset turn the phone on then press and hold the Green Dial key, * and 3 just as the Nokia logo appears. Hold them for a short while then let go, the phone should then be reset to the factory defaults. Remember to backup anything you want to keep before you do this as it resets the memory on the phone

Basically if this has something wrong in the flashed rom you may have to take it for service or try a new rom. If you think its just because its not factory fresh try the above quote.
