Urgent Help Needed - O2 Xda Mini S

deano4930

hi

i have recently bought a o2 xda mini s, but it was running out of memory and kept bugging me about it, so i decided to move the windows directory to my memory card in the device but now it wont work, the start menu has gone and I cant access anything within the device

Would really appreciate help

The windows directory MUST be located and core on the main storage area.

Due to this the only way to recover it is to do a format/recover of the PDA! Refer to the manual on how to do this...

Little_John

as merc killer said, you have screwed it up

Hold the power button down and hit the reset button at the bottom with the stylus.

thanks but i have tried hard reseting and that does not work because the hard reset wont work. i have tried to manually transfer it over but it will not allow me because it says "access is denied" ?

MercilessKiller

hmm sounds like you need to use a flash recovery tool. Not sure if this is provided with O2?

Hmmm,

If I recall, to hard reset one of these, you have to hold down the button at the top left side, the power button and the button at the top right side, then poke the stylus into the reset hole, STILL holding the three buttons down. You should be asked if you want to reset, and if so to press the SEND key, which is the green telephone key.

There is a knack to it, but you should get there.

i did as you said now the phone is dead, it wont turn on or any response?
is this normal?

Whitefiver

No, not normal. If you get the timing wrong, in my experience, all that happens is that the device turns itself on.

Do you have the manual? The reset sequence is in there.

Alternatively, give this a look. (The Wizard Wiki from XDA-Developers).

I cannot do anything with the phone as it is none responsive, but it did turn on a couple of times when i pressed the button, it went onto the o2 screen but then turned off?
