    yes this worked great! i am a vzn tech support agent and we have no alternate master reset and cust phone would not let us in to do a hard reset, also tried a few other variations to this method and they did not work your instructions were perfect, thank you!!!

    my phones screen keeps cutting in and out. i can tell its a software problem. i need to empty out the phone completely. a completely blank hard drive. when i turn it on i dont want anything to happen. so that i can then start fresh and install a new OS on it. please email me if you have any ideas at all

    Oh my god!! YOU ROCK!!!! My Q turned to a rock everytime I started it up. It did it whenever it checked battery power. The whole thing would just freeze. If this didn't work I was going to hard restart it with a baseball bat and a .22. But it worked and you rock.

    I'm always removing the battery from my phone and now it suddenly doesn't work. I guess I "bricked" it. All I get is the Verizon title screen followed by flashing vertical bars on top of the title screen.

    I have reset my phone before by doing this and I couldn't remember. My phone has frozen again but now it is not working. It is stuck on the Windows Mobile screen and won't let me even get to the question of if I want to reset it. Can you help me?
