HI I NEED HEUP I NEED TO DO A FULL RESET ON A TREO
PLEASE HEUP:eek:

Resetting the Treo 650

Always do a HotSync and/or FULL backup prior to a hard reset or zero-out reset!

How do I do a selective restore?

If you are hard resetting because of a software conflict, you want to take the following steps:

Sync your Treo to your computer, and do an sd backup if you have a backup program.
After syncing your Treo, rename your backup folder. (Usually found in C:\ProgramFiles\PalmOne\Username\Backup.)
Perform a hard reset according to the instructions below.
Sync your Treo to your computer, and when prompted choose your old hotsync name. This will restore your contacts, calendar, memos, and todo list.
Restore your applications one at a time, checking between each installation that everything is working well. It is recommended that you do incremental backups to your sd card as well so that you can revert to a "good" configuration rather than another hard reset.

How to perform the four types of reset

There are three four major kinds of resets for Treo 650: soft, warm, hard, and zero-out. (There are certain other resets, but these are the most used and most useful.)


Soft Reset

Soft resets are a kind of general purpose reset, like rebooting a pc. This turns your device off, clears out anything that might be hung, and starts it up again. It is a soft reset you experience when your Treo suddenly turns itself off and automatically restarts. Some applications cause a soft reset after installation. Some just restart, and some let you know they will need to restart, please tap the button.

A soft reset can be performed by simply removing the back cover and letting the battery lose contact for a moment. If this fails to reset your Treo 650, you can poke a paperclip into the reset hole found under the battery. Several utilities also offer a soft reset feature from the software including ZLauncher and Initiate.


Warm Reset

A warm reset is used when something is causing your Treo to act funny. You can sometimes use it to avoid That Endless Loop Thingie ("TELT"). A warm reset is like going into Safe Mode on your pc.

To perform a warm reset, initiate a reset (via software, or removing the back cover), and hold the up arrow on the 5-way navigation pad as the Treo turns back on. (Note that on the 650 and other NVFS devices, YOU MUST HOLD THE UP BUTTON PRIOR TO INITIATING THE RESET). Hold the up button the entire time until the main Phone screen is displayed. At this point you can check the 377 error log and remove the software causing you problems if you know what it is.

NOTE: When using Treo following a warm reset, the home key and built-in launcher might be inaccessible. Therefore, you may need the use of an uninstallation app, an alternative launcher and/or file management tool to delete the problematic file.


Hard Reset

When all else fails!!! A hard reset will erase everything you have on your Treo (excluding what's on the ROM, or what you have on your SD card). Do this only as a last resort and ensure that you have BACKED UP your data beforehand.

To perform a hard reset, start your reset in any of the ways mentioned above. This time, press and hold down the red phone button until the Palm screen appears. When the Palm screen appears, let go of the red phone button. You will then be prompted (in many languages) to press up to erase all data, or down to abort. You will want to press the UP to complete the Hard Reset. Your Phone will reboot and start up with the Language Selection.


Zero-Out Reset

A zero out reset will regress a device that has non-volatile memory to its factory-fresh state. When done correctly, it completely rewrites your device's internal memory with zeros and ones, ensuring that any data is expunged. It should be used only if you want all information completely obliterated (example: you're selling your handheld, or you're sending it in for repair, and want to protect your privacy).
