Thanks for the reply! Someone actually helped me with flashing my phone to WM5 so i don't know much about it. I think i'll try the hard reset by choosing Clean Reg and Format Storage Option. Thanks!
Acutally, dun have to go through the whole process each time.
Just remove the SD card, format it in FAT using your Windows PC & plug it into the phone.
Turn it on & that's it...it's as good as a hard reset.
That's the beauty(or urgly?) part of this MPx200-WM5 setup...the part of the system that stores all the settings & profiles are loaded onto the SD card so whenever the SD card shows up as empty, the system simply recreates the entries (folders & files) & you're back in business.
Of course, it'll take longer than usual to boot the phone, just like the first attempt to boot the phone after the procedure mentioned above.
BTW, there's also an effective way to backup the phone, than using some paid software that might not be as effective.
Just plug the SD card into a card reader attached to a Windows PC, unhide all the hidden files in the card(or folder) & copy everything wholesale onto the Windows PC.
The next time your phone got corrupted by whatever, just copy the contents back to the SD card & it'll boot again (assuming the problem is software related & not hardware.)
Cheers!
