While boxing up the Cingular 8125 to send to a buddy to use, I was doing a hard reset so he wouldn't get all my girlfriend's phone numbers. While doing this hard reset, I remembered how much of a pain it is to accomplish. Since reading how to do it is not that fun, I whipped up a little graphic to illustrate the locations of the buttons you have to hold down. I hope someone can benefit from this post. Enjoy!
To perform a hard reset on a Cingular 8125, I-mate Kjam, T-mobile MDA, or other similiar device:
- Hold down the communications manager button (top left) and the Voice activation button (top right).
- While holding down those two buttons, use the stylus to hold in the reset button for a couple seconds.
- Release the stylus but not the other two buttons. After a couple seconds, a black screen when come up asking you to press send to continue.
- Release the communications manager button and the Voice activation button and press send (green phone button)
- That's it!
