Bookmark topic
Hi all,
I have done the silly thing of letting my internal memory run out. Now the phone won't start up. It hangs just after playing the startup mp4.
This means I can't get into the phone to do a Master Reset.
I heard a rumour that there was a way of resetting the phone back to factory settings without having to turn the phone on. Perhaps a particular short on the battery terminals?
Does anyone know if this is possible, or am I going to have to send my phone back to SE?
Cheers in advance,

there is no other way of doing a reset on it.... bring it to a servicepoint and have it flashed...

Ok thanks...
I just phoned up Orange and told them, and because of my Orange Care Insurance I am getting a brand new P800 couriered to me tomorrow morning - woohoo!
Let's hope it has the new Firmware already on it because I really can't get to any service points.

you can format the internal drive (Almost a hard reset)

but that's a bit hard to do if the phone don't start up

soak the phone in bleach and it washes the memory clean... eventually.

Let us know if it has the latest firmware - if so my p800 may be developing a fault very soon!

nope - R2A old firmware
most disappointed...
I am going to hold out to see if these "video capture in the summer" rumours are true, and upgrade then...
