1. Power off phone
2. Hold down enter button (center round button)
3. While holding down enter button, press and hold down vol button
4. Whild holding down enter button and down vol button, press and hold power button
5. Wait a few seconds, screen should come up grey saying to press vol down button again to do a restore. Release buttons and press vol down button
6. Screen comes back saying restore is done and press vol up button to complete

Actually, I think you are correct. I don’t think the reset utility completely erases all the information from memory like the 4 finger “claw” of death does. One of Juicy’s older .roms would completely lockup on my phone when I launched TouchFLO. While I was unable to get it to work, others were having no problems. I used the utility to reset it many times without success. It wasn’t until I hard reset the device that I got it working properly on my phone. There was something in memory that wasn’t getting cleared out using the utility. Since, I have used the button method every time without problem...
