Phone will not boot.

[Guest AngelOfRage]

Ive got a UK SPV (updated to 1.6 acouple of months ago).

suddenly last night it will not turn on, it just sits on the Orange sunrise screen.

Ive tried to do a hard reset but it just goes straight to the canary MV screen and does not give me the option to wipe the memory.

any ideas on this one?

[Guest Vector]

hmm, sounds dodgy, have you got orange care?

[Guest AngelOfRage]

no they wouldn't allow me to have it because its not the phone i got with the contract. it just seems really strange as ive done nothing that could have triggered it.

[Guest Vector]

if nothing else works i suppose you could send it off to hayes...

Why can't you do a hard reset?

click on the words above for a guide to help^^ :D

It should allow you enter the bootloader menu :?

First make sure the phone is disconnected from the USB/power cable.

When you see 'Press any key', you must press and hold the action key. If you press any other key by accident (including up/down/left or right) it will go straight to the canary screen.

and it helps to have an SD Card in :D

gives you more time to enter bootloader ;)

ok thx it let me hard reboot the 5th time i tried.

panic over... mods you can lock or delete this thread if you want.

[Guest Vector]

so it's working now?

[Guest AngelOfRage]

Yeah sorry, its working fine. its just abit worrying that it can happen without me doing anything to it.

is this due to the 1.6 update being unstable?

Thought I should say that the reboot takes much longer than usual. I thought it had crashed again, stick with it.

after a hard reset the initial boot will take longer, not only that on first boot the phone will run some checks then restart. this is normal :)
