Press the "Red Key" and the "Menu Key" together, while your battery is out, then push your battery back in while holding the buttons still. It will go to the System Recovery, Make sure you have your USB out.

When i push the battery back, the pulse doesn't start Is there another way to do it? Edited October 18, 2010 by Korhan70

Guest Korhan70 Posted October 18, 2010 Report Posted October 18, 2010 Can i just ask, What are you planning to do? Update your phone to 2.1? yes from 1.5 to 2.1
Guest TGWS Posted October 18, 2010 Report Posted October 18, 2010 Installing the Official 2.1 Update Please note that this portion of the Guide is only for those using a T-Mobile Pulse (U8220). This will NOT work for those using a U8320 or a U8220-6. Please check the label located under the battery to determine your version Difficulty Level 1/5 (very easy) Known Bugs The phone is prone to freezes when using apps that use both Data and CPU in bursts. Fixed Such as: Facebook, Market, Browser Text messages aren't sending / receiving properly Not Fixed The phone may have a ringing delay when receiving an incoming call What you will need: A Pulse A Micro SD Card (Recommended to have at least 1gb free space) A Micro USB Cable or An Micro SD Card Reader A Word of Caution Please note that installing this update will wipe everything off your phone.
