my daughter managed to delete all the pictures, themes, sounds in one go on my T610 including the ones that came with the phone. My address book didn't get deleted and neither did the text messages.
While i restroed the ring signals from my computer via infra-red, how do i restore the 6or 7 message alert tones tones that came with the phone because theres no option for uploading message alert tones. Although the name of the message alerts is still there, when i select them there is no sound.
All my calender , tasks etc have become useless becoz allof them use these tones.
Are the message alert tones files of any particular format so that when i upload them they will automatically go to the right place.
I still haven't figured out how my daughter managed to delete everything in one go !!!

Why don't you back-up your data (contacts, SMS, calandar, etc.)? And then you could do a master reset, to bring back all those missing components. After that, simply sync back all those data from your PC.

Good Luck!

i think the best way around the problem is the master reset as rightfully pointed out earlier..........its also worthy to sync the data frequently in case of such an incident happenin again......as for ringtones and pix....u'll need to ir or them to a PC for backup....its time consuming at 1st but well worth the effort when shithappens....(no pun intended)...good luck mate...

all of you are missinbg the point that the master reset can only change settings, it cannot repeat Cannot RESTORE STUFF THAT HAS BEEN PAERMANENTLY DELETED. when i saw the phone after deletion it had 2900 kb free.Which means that more memory than the std. 2 mb was available because some of factory provided stuff like message tones etc. had also been deleted

A master reset will only restore what is in your ROM, the stuff that came with your phone when you bought it or during its last upgrade. It will, however, not bring back what you have installed or downloaded yourself.

If the stuff that was deleted came with your phone, a master reset will definitely restore it. Pre-installed items stay in the ROM and loaded into the phone when it's first turned on.

Since you didn't back-up your data, putting back your personal settings will have to be done by yourself and that includes tones, pics, themes and contacts.

I beg to differ.

T|he master reset will restore the phone to the condition you got it.

All those "missing" items are stored in the firmware of the phone and "copied" to the correct folders during a reset.

You cannot delete them from the firmware.

Unless I am wrong of course

As a side issue - how the hell did she manage to delete the predefined items!

There are several ongoing discussions here about that all saying that it cannot (easily) be done!!

Edit: Sorry - I just re-read your message and noted that the tones etc are still there - just do not work!

Still would be fascinated to know how she did it - have you tried hypnosis (or torture!)
