What I did was open the battery and reinserted the SIM Card and after that it would boot fine. This problem occured to me when I changed the SIM card from one operator to the other one. If you do a master-reset, the screen will go black. Then you're supposed to turn it on again. The booting process will be slow depending on the amount of data to be erased :D Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think that it is more likely to windows system as windowsXP or Windows Me. :D Mills Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Never understood the fear of refurbished that some people have..... :shock: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest Imacellphone Posted March 28, 2005 Report Share Posted March 28, 2005 You should contact the store you bought it from in the states and try to simply work out troubleshooting over the phone, or tell them to help you swap it for another working model.

I did a hard reset once and it worked. but the next time I shut it off and tried to turn it on, it did the same thing. I'm still trying to figure out what the problem is. Is your phone ATT branded, and have you added any extra programs or tweaks on it? I have on mine and I'm wondering if thats the problem. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
