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
Guest evilgabbie Posted March 17, 2005 Report Posted March 17, 2005 tried it with 10+ sim cards... 3 different batteries.... resetting 1000000 times no luck
Guest SerialKilla Posted March 24, 2005 Report Posted March 24, 2005 tried it with 10+ sim cards... 3 different batteries.... resetting 1000000 times no luck <{POST_SNAPBACK}> go back to the store you bought it and they should give a a brand new one if its been less that 4 weeks . they wount give u a refurnished one if they try to give you a refunished one call cingular or your provider theill set them straight i should now that happened to me so um yeah do that.
Guest evilgabbie Posted March 28, 2005 Report Posted March 28, 2005 problem is i am in canada and the phone was purchased in the states.. can't flash it since the phone won't turn on and active sync can't connect to it... so the online flasher doesn't work i can get the phone to boot in bootloader mode and format all mode... is there a boot loader flasher available ?

I think that it is more likely to windows system as windowsXP or Windows Me. :D Mills
Guest AlbertoM Posted March 28, 2005 Report Posted March 28, 2005 go back to the store you bought it and they should give a a brand new one if its been less that 4 weeks . they wount give u a refurnished one if they try to give you a refunished one call cingular or your provider theill set them straight i should now that happened to me so um yeah do that. <{POST_SNAPBACK}> Actually a refurbished one will have been tested more extensively than a new-out-of-the-box one, and it will have any defective parts replaced - so you are getting a better product than a new one. Never understood the fear of refurbished that some people have..... :shock:

Guest Imacellphone Posted March 28, 2005 Report 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.
Guest evilgabbie Posted March 29, 2005 Report Posted March 29, 2005 yeah i purchased two units at the same time, and the working one does have the newest firmware, so i am assuming this one does also tried resetting hard resetting flashing - cannot since phone won't connect via activesync battery swap, different batteries different sims i am tempted to open the phone up now

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.
