Before we Hard Reset the phone, download and rename the MRailing Phone Tools.cab found just two posts down in #8. This will help us setup our i730 after the hard reset. After downloading the file, rename the file extension from .TXT to .CAB. Keep the file handy as we will copy it to our phones after the hard reset using the Guest account through ActiveSync. (or if you have an SD card, you can copy it to that for easier installation after the hard reset).


1. Format SafeStore & Hard reset at the same time - Luckily with WM5 you can do a hard reset and format SafeStore at the same time. I do this to completely get my phone back to factory settings and completely clean.

So Click Start -> Setting -> System Tab -> Erase Memory.

Check both boxes, and when clicking each box, you will be prompted to type in 'YES' after clicking each one. Now if you look at the right softkey it says "Format", so hit the right softkey to format SafeStore First, and then on the reboot, it will Hard Reset your phone (otherwise known as Formatting Root...).

That's it, pretty easy....

If you want to Hard Reset because of a problem. Hold down the Menu Key and the Slider and while continueing to hold them down, press the Reset hole, and DON'T let go of the slider and Menu key until you see Formatting Root...
