I put a cab file on to make the 6800 to make it look like that diamond. I have decided to sell the phone and and want to take it back to the original everything. I have went in and deleted the cab file but it didnt take the look away. Can someone please help me so I can get it off of the phone. I dont know what to do. Thanks and hope someone can help.
YOu are looking for instructions on "Hard Reset" Im pretty sure.
You are gonna want to remove EVERYTHING that you have done to the phone, phone numbers and everything, well if you Hard Reset the phone, it willl make it like you just took it out of the box.
hold the 2 software keys down, while sticking the stylus in the reset hole, keep holding the soft keys until you get the message to (Grey screen) that states: Do you want to erase all user data and restor to MFG default?
This leave the current Operating system in tact, but it will be like you never used the phone.
Thanks for the help. It worked!!!!

Hi everybody,
I have been trying out various softwares (install/uninstall) on Jasjar and was planning to do a hard reset to go back to original factory settings (like a format and complete reinstall WinXP on my desktop PC) and only install the selected few I liked and need.
Reading these threads for hours gave me the hint the hard reset is not going to do that for me. I am still a little confused; would somebody please describe what HR is on a Jasjar?
If not a HR is what I am looking for, how should I clean up all the tracks of junk (former programs that I deleted or tried to delete, but got an error message).
(Please, be easy on me and detailed, I am not a tech geek, have not even gone into registry yet…)
Thank you for your help!

A Hard Reset will do exactly what you want. As long as you haven't been playing silly buggers creating your own ext.rom.. -- given that you haven't touched the registry yet, I doubt you have..
Hold down all the required buttons, and press the Reset button at the back, wait 20 mins for it to rebuild itself, and you'll have a nice fresh Jasjar ready to go.
The only thing you may be confusing it with is a Soft Reset, and that's literally like turning your PC off. Nothing is gone, no information lost, it just reboots it.
I have been given a works SPV M5000 and being a man I couldn't help messing with it, trying to install this and that, and now I have completely buggered it. For some reason it won't allow me to reset by using the clear storage, saying it can't find the clear storage exe or something. is there anyway I can hard reset it which buttons do you have to press and in what order. then I can hard reset this and return it and no one will ever know he he he
PS please help I've got to take it back tomorrow.
Thanks in advance......
press the two large "-" buttons at the top of the keyboard, and simultaneously press the stylus into the reset hole on the back.
Cheers,
Steve
Thanks For that steve
I can put it back without anyone knowing i messed :shock:
I think it may have something to with trying to install uncertified CAB files is there any fixes to installing these cabs anyone know ???
Hi, i just done a master reset on my cingular 8125, and now i can't do anything to the phone. everytime i put the battery in it can only go to the first screen. which is the screen with IPL, SPl, GSM, and OS.
Does anyone have a solution? I have this phone for over 6 months, I done an unlock to use with T-mobile, but i didn't do the unlock to update.
same thing is happening to me.
download the t-mobile 2.26.10.2 rom from their site and force bootloader mode [turn off, hold power and camera, and connect to USB and run the updater.
when i do this, it doesnt write the ROM image...
i have flashed like... 7 times in the past hour...
Don't know if this will help you, but the same thing happened on my 8125 after pasting a "power off" program to my windows/start up folder. Hold the Comm and Voice record buttons (on top sides of device), and at the same time use your stylus to soft reset (small hole below Ir port), a message should come up telling you to send to set back to factory settings. Push the green phone button to send. This is like a hard rest without entering the hard rest code 1234. This should get the device operating normal again. You will have to re-install apps that you had in the main memory,since your device will be new again. Give this a try. May I ask why you had to do a hard reset?

That means there is a hardware issue with the phone.
took it to cingular they said software
Meaning -- not covered under their warranty exchange?? Just curious as to whether you got a replacement phone. . .

You may need to do this a few times. It should work as it's the ONLY way.

If they say its software, then tell them to flash the Cingular ROM on it. If it works, thank them and you have a working phone. If it doesn't they should replace it. DO a search for this error here (and with Google) but I seem to recall others getting this found their phone had a memory (hardware) problem where the flash just won't take.
You might have better luck talking to a Cingular Tech online. I've called a copule of times with issues with my phone and they are always like "We'll authorize a replacement and send it out tomorrow". I've stopped them each time as I know the isue I'm calling about isn't hardware (one time it was for the 160x120 MMS pics). Over the phone they can only debug so far so they are quicker to do a replacement.
Not sure thats what you want to do, but its an option...
You might also try flashing the Wizard Love or Button Roms on it. Those will sometimes flash when others won't (if you do the Button ROM you will have to CID unlock again though) (we are talking a G3 here, right?)
Links for those are in this thread (as well as instrucitons):

Hi there,
I have done a reasonable amount of reading around the forum to try and figure out if i can sort my phone out, but want to make sure i have tried everything i can!
Basically my phone crashed a couple of days ago, and i ended up removing the battery to get it to respond and switch back on. Only now it stays on the first white T-Mobile screen that appears. I know i can do a hard rest on the phone to bring it back to it's factory default state, but i have sooo many contacts and other info on the phone that i really need to retrieve before clearing it.
Is it possible at all to get these back, or am i stuck with a Hard reset and losing everything?
Any info that could help me would be greatly appreciated.
Cheers

Am afraid its looking like a hard reset dude, but i would DEFINATLY recommend getting a free exchange accoutn with somebody like mail2web or even DeniaLs own service on here.....your contacts are just a sync away even after a hard reset or ROM flash so you dont need to back them up every time you reset or flash.
Since getting my Hermes (SPV M3100) I've had the same code for unlocking my phone. However, the other day my messaging program crashed, which it does sometimes, so I rebooted the phone and when I put my code in it said it was wrong.
I'd just reflash it, but to sync it needs to be unlocked. Ideally I want to keep all my messages and contacts, but if anyone knows how to reflash it then that'd be awesome too.
I'm currently using a pink phone which doesn't even have a vibrate function. It's a bit of a nightmare.
Can anyone help me? x
Does no one have any idea?
Is it an expensive paperweight?
You've probably lost all data that you didn't have backed up, but hopefull the phone isn't a write-off. Do a hard reset by holding both soft-keys while pressing reset, and if that doesnt work you can put it into boot-loader by holding 'ok' and 'power', and pressing reset.
Make sure you read up on hard-spl and flashing from sd first.
