hi ,
i have to format the hard disk of my P1i, but i can't do that, i tried to doing this:
You need to access the service menu, with the following key combination:

jog dial UP
*
jog dial DOWN
jod dial DOWN
*
jog dial DOWN
*

You'll see 'Format internal disk' as an option.

but i can't see any menu, someone know other way to see that menu?

Why do you say it's not the same?
I see no evidence of that. The phone completley resets to factory defaults and all is lost.

There's another way -- update the firware with SEUS (even if it doesn't need updating), although this is more risky imho.

Hi Everyone,

I just want to ask if the re-flashing will resolve the error I have when booting up my P1i. The error message is stated below:

Application:
EikAppUiServerThread

Reason Code:
KERN-EXEC

Reason Number:
3

This was happened when I installed something but I forgot what application is that. I have unistalled all application I have in my external memory but still having the same error message. I even tried to hard reset the phone but no luck.

Any idea will be much appreciated.
