Hi everyone.

I have been here a while for info, but I have not been able to find anything.
Maybe you can help me....

I just had my T-Mobile Compact III, before I had a Vario.

On my Vario I made backups with Spb Backup, and instead of selecting PARTIAL restore to my new Compact III (for address and my data), I accidently selected a FULL restore:(

Now my phone is frozen and will not boot in Windows anymore.

I have tried to flash another ROM into it, even the original one, but it cannot flash this because it is locked.

Then I bought the unlocked code on the web (the 20 pound one www.imei-check.co.uk) but for that to even work I need to have an AS connection.
I cannot get an AS connection because my phone will not boot into Windows anymore :(

Please can someone advise me on how to get my phone to boot again?
I can get into the bootloader, but I cannot flash it because it is still locked.

Your help is sooo much apprieciated!

Try a hard reset. If it does not work, there is a t mobile uk rom on ftp. d/l and flash to your device.

I have tried to search on this forum for a hard reset, but the only thing I can read is that it has to be done from within the phone itself?

I do not know how to hard reset this type of phone. please advise, so I can try this?

I have found the solution :D

The two softkeys (with the minus signs) need to be pressed, then softreset.
After that, everything works great!
Thank you.
Later today I will play with my unlock and upgrades.

The info on how to hard reset is on the artemis wiki. I will put more info on there in time. Feel free to add your own info.

Can you please confirm if unlocking and ROM upgrading work successfully?
I'm in a similar situation myself.. Gotta change to English..
Half of the time I've got no idea what I'm doing with the Dutch ROM, and this is my first WM device.. :)
Many thanks..
