I just received an s740 (Orange branded) that I bought on ebay. All worked well, but the theme was pink, from it's last owner. I thought I'd do a factory reset instead of simply changing the theme.
So I turned it off, held the vol down and central nav button, powered up, hit vol up to restore settings... everything said it was doing it's job...
Now when I boot up, I get the orange boot screen, the version numbers etc in the bottom corner, then the black screen with the orange logo for about 20 seconds, then all I get is a white screen with 'mobile operator' written in a circle and nothing else.
What's going on?
I've just tried it again, and now all I get is the orange logo on a black screen and nothing else. I can't power down or anything.
Help!! Do I need to reflash it somehow? TBH I was looking to reflash it to remove the orange branding anyway (I'm waiting for my unlock code to arrive from an ebay seller to use my t-mobile sim)
I hope someone can help, I've only held this phone for 5 minutes, not even made a call on it yet!
Typical!! As soon as I posted...
I reset it again for a 3rd time and now it seems to be installing it's software again as it should!
... and now it works again!! Phew!! Panic over!
Anyone point me to how I to about de-branding it?
Thanks

I bought my HD2 about 3 weeks ago. Used from Australia (I live in NZ where the phone is not available yet). I got it from eBay, it's supposed to be 2 months old.
Phone worked fine, installed a cooked rom and everything was going great until a few nights ago.
I was playing badminton and had the phone in my pocket. When I took it out, it wasn't responding. So I pulled the battery out and when I tried to turn it back on, all I got was a white screen. I don't know if having the phone in my pocket while playing badminton had anything to do with it, but I didn't fall or anything.
Since then I've tried turning on hundreds of times. Most of the time it's a white screen with a slight yellow tint. Sometimes it's a normal white. Some other times it's a white screen with 'HTC', but in each case, it doesn't go beyond the white screen.
Have tried doing a hard reset, and it says it's successful, but when it reboots, same thing.
Have got it into the mode where you can flash the ROM (hold vol down when turning on), and when I tried to flash the cooked rom, it gets to 1% then resets. When I tried to flash an HTC rom, it just sits at 0% and eventually Windows gives me an error.
Have talked to HTC, and it seems I have to send my phone back to Australia to get fixed. But the service centers in Australia need a receipt/proof of purchase in order to fix it under warranty.
So it looks like I can't get it repaired without paying for it myself.
Does anyone have any ideas what's going on? Or can suggest something else I can try to bring it back to life?
Thanks
Hi all, 1st off, this forum is amazing. Please provide your input.
My device: HTC HD2 from Tmobile STOCK, out of the box, no mod has been done.
Problem: frozen at "stick together" screen for unknown time
Situation: the phone was used for 2-3 weeks, then sat in the box for approx 6 month.
Attempts: during all my attempts i didn't have the SIM CARD installed.
1/i tired to do factory reset, the 1234 then pressed yes -> frozen at sticktogether screen. took out the battery. then
2/Called Tmobile help support, we did hard reset by holding the volup and voldown plus power button, after I got to the animated screen.....stuck at "stick together"
3/Tmobile tech told me to take out the battery again, take out the micro sd card, and start the phone normally ....guess what ? stuck at stick together screen !!!! at this point, i was like **** should have not given away my iphone4
4/ while being stuck, the tech guy told me to use a pinpoint pen to activate the little yellow button next to microsd card, the device kinda turn off, then again ...stick together appeared. I thought to myself, i should have stuck with my Iphone4.
turning point: So, anyway, took out the battery, then turn on the phone normally, of course stuck at stick together...then let it sit for about > 3 hrs while watching "RED" from redbox...haha i came back, the phone logged in , kinda like the fresh start from out-of-the-box setting. I went through the initial tutorial, and all that good stuff. Seem to be functional. I turned the phone off, then do the vol down, and power button to check SPL version, mine is 2.4.1000000 or sumthing like. then it stuck at the tri color screen. took out the battery, then started the phone ...GUESS what ? stuck at stick together again.....I feel miserable.
I have two option,
1/ is to send the device back to tmobile and have them replace it.
2/ writing this thread and hopefully someone knows what's going on !!!
was driving home and had the phone in my front pocket. im guessing a button may have been pressed to long, my screen is blank and nothing is displayed, i was able to reflash it using the original operators 1.6 AT&T firmware, then connected to SEUS, and still the screen comes up blank no boot load screen nothing if i pull the battery out and power on the the phone vibrates then appeares to be working but the screen stays blank. any suggestions. i was using the 2.1-1 .435 at the time it happened.
so i will have to send fone in for warrenty, which is still ok since fone is only 60 days old. will reply back to post when i get fone back.
got RMA fone in mail looks like new all is good but 1.6 os still AT&T still no update.
Hey,
I got the lumia from a friend, it was working flawlesly under his account,
I went and did a full clean up for the phone through the menus.
the microsoft "wheels" started spinning for a while, it didn't seem to end, I must have pushed the power button assuming
it will just power up again.
well, it does not,
I tried soft and hard reset but the outcome is withe a NOKIA logo centered in the screen it stays there foreever (I gave it a good 15 minutes to try to see if its doing anything),
on another occation it now shows a lightning sign (no nokia sign) with a smaller "wheel" near by. again stays for good 15 minutes and nothing happens.
its now connected to the power, but I have no idea how to try to proceed.
frustrating, all I did is a clean up and the phone won't boot..
ANY help mostly appreciated,

I am in the same boat after trying to flash an Australian ROM onto my Rogers Lumia 920. If you don't live in North America you should be able to download Nokia Care Suite and use the Product Support Tool for Store to refurbish or recover the phone. If you live in North America then you will need to wait for a North American ROM to be available. Hopefully soon! Now that the phone is officially released by AT&T I have been checking, almost every hour, for the ROMs. Still nothing. Hopefully with Rogers official release on Monday we will see something.
I'm struggling to understand why would a "factory" out of the box phone will fail to boot.
I have not flashed or rommed anything,
I'm sure I'm doing something wrong because its not logical,
any other suggestions?

Is it charged?
Well, hard to tell,
The situation is that it stays pretty much put on the NOKIA logo in the center of the screen.
Sometimes, with some key sequence I'm yet to "nail" I can get it into a mode where it briefly shows an image of a battery with some red, and an image of an
electric outlet (not sure if it says "connect me" or "I'm connected") but this shows for 4 times (each time disappears) and then the phone goes back to black
then the NOKIA logo in the center.
I've connected it to various computers, charges etc. nothing seem to make an impression on this crazy issue.
hints very welcome,

A short update, and not a very cheerful one,
I handed it here to a local mobile tech shop to try fix it, the guy worked on it (not opening just trying to charge it etc) and
came back to me saying that their (hidden technition forums I guess) forums say it will take a month until they fully understannd how to fix
these devices,
Hello guys. I´m having trouble with my mega.. i hooked it up to my computer via usb. And tried to drag drop a few photos. But when i did this is said that targetfile was not found. And then the screen on the phone went black while a red pulsating light was on top. But i´ve tried removing the battery, charging it and so on. nothing works. any one of you guys that have had the same problem?
Sounds a bit weird, have you tried the long (15-30sec) press on the power button to reset?
Yes i have. I´ve tried booting it to download, recovery and i even helt the power on button for a minute or so. It refuses to power up. It really sucks. because now i have to go to a huawei u8800..
Unless someone else has a better idea I think you're going to have take it back to the supplier under warranty
Yeah. That´s what i think too. Thanks for the response anyway! i will update here if i get it fixed some other way.
Change the OP tittle to make people enter and help, try, "Mega 6.3 black screen and red led pulsing"
