A couple of days ago I've got my new toy - a Samsung Omnia mobile phone. While playing with it, I had to do a hard reset several times already, all using the settings menu in the operating system. The last time, however, I didn't manage to get there, and was glad to find on Wen Qiang's blog mobile.silence a way to do so. The problem was, that similarly to some of the people, unfortunately it didn't work for me for some reason.
After sporadically pressing buttons, I discovered that a very slight variation did work for me. Powering on the Omnia (or soft-resetting), and immediately afterwards (while the B&W Samsung logo appears) pressing the SEND-END-POWER combination for 10 seconds. If you press the combination too late, you get to the jingle, otherwise you get the long awaited hard-reset screen.
Hope this helps some lost people :)
