I have, and it works fine (if "fine" is defined as "completely erasing the card and starting from factory-fresh settings") on version 2 cards. Version 1 cards will be bricked according to [1]. I use the strategy outlined at [1]: 1. Add the following lines to a text file called "reset.txt", omitting the equals signs: ====== /hex scd serialno scd apdu 00 20 00 81 08 40 40 40 40 40 40 40 40 scd apdu 00 20 00 81 08 40 40 40 40 40 40 40 40 scd apdu 00 20 00 81 08 40 40 40 40 40 40 40 40 scd apdu 00 20 00 81 08 40 40 40 40 40 40 40 40 scd apdu 00 20 00 83 08 40 40 40 40 40 40 40 40 scd apdu 00 20 00 83 08 40 40 40 40 40 40 40 40 scd apdu 00 20 00 83 08 40 40 40 40 40 40 40 40 scd apdu 00 20 00 83 08 40 40 40 40 40 40 40 40 scd apdu 00 e6 00 00 scd apdu 00 44 00 00 /echo card has been reset to factory defaults ===== 2. Insert the smartcard to be reset. 3. Run "gpg-connect-agent < reset.txt" 4. Remove the smartcard. 5. Wait a few seconds, then reinsert the smartcard. 6. Run "gpg --card-status": the card should show as factory fresh[2].
