How to reset or factory restore i-mate JAMA device?
I-mate JAMA is an older Pocket PC device that has a limited number of OS options to choose from. However, one of the recommended ways to reset it is to perform a "Hard Reset", which involves using the built-in hardware buttons.
To perform a Hard Reset of your i-mate JAMA device, follow these steps:
1. Turn off the device by pressing and holding the power button.
2. Release the power button and then press and hold the "JAM" switch located on the back of the device.
3. While holding the "JAM" switch, press and hold the "Power" button until the device starts to boot up again.
4. Release the "JAM" and "Power" buttons.
5. Enter the default Boot Mode Settings.
6. Select "Hard Reset" and confirm the action when prompted.
It is important to note that this process will erase all data on your device and restore it to its factory settings. If you want to keep your settings and data, it is recommended to create a backup before performing the reset.
Another recommended way to reset the i-mate JAMA device is to use the "Soft Reset" method. This method involves performing a reset via USB and also erases all data on the device. To use this method, follow these steps:
1. Connect the device to your computer using a USB cable.
2. Install the appropriate drivers for your device on your computer.
3. Open a command prompt on your computer and navigate to the directory containing the "Reset.exe" file.
4. Run the "Reset.exe" file with the following command: "Reset.exe /prod"
5. Wait for the device to reset, which may take several minutes.
6. Once the reset is complete, remove the device from your computer and unplug the USB cable.
It is important to keep in mind that both Hard Reset and Soft Reset will erase all data on the device, so make sure to backup your data before performing either method. Additionally, it is always recommended to contact I-mate customer support for any questions or concerns regarding the reset process.
