my t-mobile Vario II crashed the other day as I was replying to a text message, nothing unusual there, wm5 has been known to crash once in a while.
so I soft reset it, and it reboots.
But now, after it's all finished loading, it would run for a few seconds, only to crash again.
I reset again, but the freezing up follows shortly.
Nothing I do stops this happening.
So in desperation I go for the Hard Reset.
Everything gets wiped and it reinstalls all the T-Mobile stuff.
But now I have no signal,
I take the SIM card out and put it in an old nokia, and that works fine, i receive two text messages which I think were due around the time of the first crash.
The texts are normal texts from friends, saying hello and stuff.
So it's not the SIM card, it must be something to do with the phone.
I've just tried the SIM card in the phone again, and i notice on the T-Mobile boot screen it says the usual stuff.
M 05 S 04 B 06 D1.21, but just before it blinks it says No GSM.
I searched the forums and, this seems to be a problem people can get when tryting to unlock or upgrade their phones rom.
Problem is, I've not tried to do either.
Any help would be greatfully appreciated.
Am I going to have to mess around with ROM upgrades, all of which scares me greatly.
Or should I just send the phone back to T-Mobile for repair.
