I the phone's software is so jammed, that it is no longer possible to access the menus, how do you perform a master reset of the phone? Removing the battery and leaving it out a couple of hours doesn't help. The phone is an almost brand new k750. |

Menu ---> Settings----> Master reset-----> Reset all.
This will turn your phone to factory settings. |

Dont you have the k750 SOP book? It shows clear steps to be followed.

Before you do a master reset be aware that it resets your phone to factory settings- I saw a thread that someone had done a reset and lost his or her bookmarks and blaming to the K700i.

No. After resetting is completed it will ask for phone lock code if you have set one.

In order to do reset, the phone will ask for phone lock code. If you didn't change the initial one it is 0000
This is what is mentiond in the manual:
1- Settings--> the General Tab--> Master Reset.
2- Reset settings or -->Reset all.
3- Yes to continue
4- Enter the phone lock code (0000 or the new code if you have changed it) -->OK.

Hey, nobody clearly understood what I wrote! The phone is so jammed that it isn't possible to reach any menu. Turning the phone on, it prompts for PIN code, then it displays the desktop wallpaper for about 0.5 seconds, then the display becomes white for 5 seconds, then the display gets black for 5 seconds, then the desktop reappears for 0.5 seconds, then the display becomes white, and so on forever. There is never a chance to ever press a MENU button, and even less chance to get down the menus to the reset command. I'm looking for some kind of hardware reset, like a button, or two terminals to short-circuit etc. |

The best thing to do is to try an online update from the  website.
Checkout my photos at My Website"Duct tape is like the force. It has a light side, a dark side, and it holds the world together." |

Give it to a service center and get it done, coz with your details I dought that doing a master reset would solve the problem. There must be some java application causing the problem or it might be an unstable firmware-
So give it to a SE service center-

It's not mine, it belongs to a friend. It has been sent to the service center via the store where it was bought. The only sad thing is that it will take approx. 3 weeks (15 working days, since it's vacation times) before it returns, according to the person who received it in the store, ElGiganten, Stockholm, Sweden. They may have the lowest price, but not the highest service level  |

The best solution is to do recovery on online SE Support site.
You can do that by browsing SE update service and choosing Recovery mode.
Make sure that you have installed Update Service USB driver on your PC before the recovery.
Good Luck |
