Okay so I have personally tested this method about 30 seconds ago to verify its effectiveness.

This is what you do:
Hold down both volume buttons, send call button (green bar), center button (circle), and end call button (red bar).

When you hold all 5 (pretty insane to press 5..) it should boot into a hard reset. Like I said I just tried this before posting and I verify it works.
Hope this helped
