Guest fulhamfcboy Posted March 14, 2003 Report Posted March 14, 2003 Hi, I follow the instructions and turn the phone on with the Voice recorder button pressed down...it comesup with the boot screen..but then goes straight to the red green blue stripes with the word "serial" at the bottom of the screen.... no options...not asked any questions.... no matter what I do it won't say to press the action key to get to the menus like it did before the update? how do I hard reset now? Thanks Tom.
Guest awarner [MVP] Posted March 14, 2003 Report Posted March 14, 2003 Make sure you have the SD card in as it slows the process down.
Guest Syvwlch Posted March 14, 2003 Report Posted March 14, 2003 After update, it no longer asks for the actionbutton, but if you press and hold it down anyway, it will still go to the menu, where you will be able to select only one menu option... the hard reset.
Guest yatpeak Posted March 15, 2003 Report Posted March 15, 2003 It seems strange that they changed it... Wyatt
Guest Syvwlch Posted March 15, 2003 Report Posted March 15, 2003 I think they were trying to hide the barn after the aliens abducted the horse. Er... we being the aliens, i think?
Guest yatpeak Posted March 15, 2003 Report Posted March 15, 2003 I suppose so, but hiding it doesn't seem like a great idea, why not change the way to get to it? Just my opinion. Wyatt
Guest markbrads Posted March 16, 2003 Report Posted March 16, 2003 this don't work guys what does now ? thanks in advance :)
Guest awarner [MVP] Posted March 16, 2003 Report Posted March 16, 2003 Strange as it should work, I know the timing of getting it right can be a pain. Can you tell us what update you have?
Guest Syvwlch Posted March 16, 2003 Report Posted March 16, 2003 Someone once posted you could hold down all three buttons until you hit the menu, but that has never worked for me. I just hit that action button AFTER the phone wakes up, but BEFORE the screen that says to hit any key, and hold it until i get the menu. Works almost everytime.

Guest tom2 Posted March 28, 2003 Report Posted March 28, 2003 I am having real problems with hard resetting to enable a de-cert. When I hold down the record button and power on I get the card found screen. I have tried many combinations from here on but basically whenever I press and hold the action key when the 'card found' screen appears I go through to 'press any key to enter bootloader' soon followed by the 3 colour canary screen (v 0.98 - update). No menu options. Not sure is this has anything to do with sending my phone back to the manufacturer under warranty recently as it frooze on start-up. Not decerted before this. Can anyone help? Thanks
Guest eperkins Posted April 10, 2003 Report Posted April 10, 2003 Having exactly the same problem... am having to send the phone back to the manufacturer today as it's buggered on a number of levels and want to send it back blank 'cos I've got work stuff on it.
