Hi,
my Vox was ok with Fireburned Clean WM 6.1 ROM.
I wanted to install the 96 DPI cab taken from

I installed correctly following the instructions, and rebooted.
Now, after boot, the following things dont work.

1. File explorer - so i cant go to any folder or delete any files on \windows folder.
2. activesync connection is broken so i cant install a new ROM.
3. recently accessed app list shows blank.
4. my home screen is blank.

The only thing that works is the dialpad where i can make voice calls.

Can anyone tell me how to do a hard reset (any key combination or shortcut??).
Thanks in advance.

I recommend you to uninstall 96 DPI update. To do this, flash your Vox from SD card instead of using ActvieSync connection. How to do this, check Vox Wiki.

Hard Reset Second Way:
Turn off your phone, then press both *SOFT KEYS* and *POWER ON* device. After moment release both soft keys. On the black screen asking for confirmation press *GREEN PHONE BUTTON* and wait couple minutes for phone to initialize.

If you cant make it with this [you must have good timing].. turn off your phone, hold camera button, and plug usb.
the u can run a rom update utility.

i tried trizzos method. but everytime i press camera and plug usb power, the "upload from sd card" screen would come and then just show the bootloader. i formatted twice to FAT32 but still no luck.

Then i followed akumalol's two ways,
the hard reset via soft keys + power key combo didnt work. i tried few times.

But, the second method worked!!!!!!!!!

that is

1. switch off phone
2. hold camera button and plug in usb power cable
3. phone boots to bootloader
4. now use any of the OS drop posted by our Gurus, and execute Flash.exe, it then connects to the phone via activesync and downloads the image.
Thanks very much guys. i will take note of this method as this is my first bricking the phone although the phone came up but no activesync no file explorer.....

Thanks again Trizz and Akumalol.....

Well I tought hardreset would be ur lasta alternative... the method posted by akumalol is the only one i ever used and it works but you have to put ur finger on the softkeys in less than a second after u have powered on the device..this is why some users have no luck with it...u have to be VERY VERY QUICK!

i tried 4 times with no result.. it directly booted to the current OS.
maybe i have poor reflex than you folks..:rolleyes:

ahahah no it's a tecnique issue...put your thumbs on the softkeys and with an other free fingers power on the phone... don't tell this to anyone it's a secret tecnique;) ;) ;)

anyways. thanks for your help.
