Left the plane & all hell froze! Qtek auto-rebooting, WH

I just got back from Dubai this morning, and I recieved my first call from the plane. Fine, it worked.... but then...
disaster struck!
The phone has the "no signal" message when I click on the reception icon. I've tried to click the "turn phone off" button but nothing works...
I can't get into the phone settings in the start menu to change networks...
I'm trying to back-up to SD to do a hard reset, but the phone re-boots itself every 4 minutes! The device is also very slow in responding to the commands. E.G. when I place my phone code it takes 3 seconds just to type in the number... strange! I have 48 / 64 MB free in memory and a 256 MB SD card...
I can't connect to activesync because the decive is not being recognized. So I can't transfer anything through the USB... it's gotta be some kind of manual un-locking from the phone itself...
I took out the sim card and am using a crappy nokia until I get this deal fixed.
I searched the forum for possible solutions and some came close, but none popped the cherry...
Have any of you experienced this specific situation? Is there anything I can do to recover my data before hard-reseting the Qtek? I made about 30 new contacts on the recent trip and was going to sync when I got home from the airport... but the 1010 keeps passing out on me!! It's like giving a date a full bottle of Crystal Champange before hitting the bedroom... Sucks!
All my appoinments are on the phone for tomorrow.. it's 2:11AM if anyone can get back soon with instructions or any previous posting, please let me know.. E-mail me... SOMEBODY SAVE MY SOUL!!
HELP!

sorry to hear about ur problem, must be awful
I dunno if any one can save ur soul, but if worst comes to worst, Ill buy ur soul off of u, just gimmie a good price
thanx, an good luck

Does the phone reboot even if plugged into the power? Also have you tried a soft reset with the sd card removed?

try also to remove the SIM or try another one. some of them are faulty.

I had a similar but less traumactic problem in the phone part wouldn't work at all. Turned out that error messages can be saved on the sim card and block functions. Removing and re inserting the sim is enough to clear the block in my case.
Good luck.

Cant Unlock T-mobile MDA compact -now wont work - pls help

Hi,
I recently purchased a second hand MDA compact that was locked to T-mobile. After using the "all in one simlock tool" (from this site) I tried my vodafone sim card and it stated "invalid or missing sim". After various soft resets and hard resets and re-running the tool it would still not recognise my vodafone sim.
I then tried a friends contract t-mobile sim card in my phone to make sure all was well and it asked for the pin number. My friend entered his pin and it came up "Phone locked please enter PUK code". My friend then put his sim card back in his phone and enetered his pin as normal and all was working fine ? I have tried this several time with t-mobile sims and the same happens to them all but when put back in their normal phones everything works as normal.
I have even called t-mobile for help (no laughing please) and as you guessed I got no further forward.
Appologies if this is a widely covered topic or in the wrong section, i have searched and read loads of stuff but I am still stuck.
Please help me to unlock phone...

anyone :?

try this
Try this:
With the phone off, press the camera button and hold it in
Now press the power button for 5-10 seconds
Let go the power button
If the screen comes up with 3 color bars, connect the phone to your computer and run your favorite firmware.
Let us know the results...

Newbie question... Firmware compared to ROM?
Hi all,
I would be very interested in knowing the result of this last advice you gave as i am fighting to unlock my SPV3000 from Orange and may end up locking it with PUK request at the end...
Anyway, my question before I reach this stage is: What are you really talking about when you say "Run firmware"?
Do you mean flash your PPC again with a ROM like Mr Clean one or is it something else? And where should we find such firmware?
Just in case I may have to follow your advice soon... ;-)

Usim Lock Help!!!!!

First off the phone has a japanese rom on it, does anyone here know how to take of the USIM lock, so that an english rom can be flashed onto the phone. Problem is the phone locks up almost as soon as u turn it on. If you turn it on without a sim card then You can unlock it with 000 and it will call 911 but with a sim card the only way it will unlock is if you have an incoming phone call if someone can HELP me please!!! 1

You need to post some more details. Hermes will boot to OS normally without any SIM card at all - even if network locked.
Is it freezing in Windows or freezing at the turn on screen or before that stage?
Are you booting into Windows successfully?
Is this the device lock set to time out after zero seconds?
Have you tried a hard reset to "cure" the problem?

[Q] Sim Card Error

I have literally been searching this site for hours trying to find an answer but nobody goes into much depth about this problem. My i9500 cannot detect my sim card at all. I have replaced my Sim Card Tray twice since receiving the "sim card error please restart phone" notification because it didn't seem to fix the problem the first time i replaced the tray and I wanted to be sure it wasn't a bad tra. I have tested the Sim Card in 3 other phones and it definitely works so I don't understand what else it could be. Please help me guys. I need this phone for work and I can't afford to upgrade right now.
