Tmobile shadow cellphone

try clearing up your web history, sms, or unwanted software....on the browser, click on blazer top left corner, click on history and clear all..tested if it doesnt work back up your phone and perform a master reset

You can contact whoever provided the phone to you asking for a solution, or you can take it to a phone kiosk/shop that offers unlocking services, they are many such shops in and around most cities.

the "soft buttons are right below the screen hold both down then turn on the phone this will make the phone ask if you want to reset to default so try removing the batt , mem card and sim card first as this it the last resort you will lose all changes made to the phone except mem card and sim card stored items worked on my shadow fine good luck peeps

Your Phone may not have the capability to do this,I just switched phones also and im on tmobile and it doesnt have it :( Im bummed cause i like phone but its not im capable!!

call tmobile do a master reset
if that doesnt work its the device they will send u a new one

Hi. To Hard Reset your device (to reset everything to factory defaults, I advise you to take a full backup before this process also), just turn Phone off, hold directional pad UP while turning the phone back on. Follow directions on screen. Hope this helps.

Turn the handheld off, hold the two soft keys (the dashes to the left and right of the phone buttons) hold the power button for 1-2 seconds and then release the soft keys. It should prompt you to clear storage. The “send” button is considered as the green phone button.

How to Hard Reset a T-Mobile Dash with operating system: 1. Select Start
2. Select Accessories
3. Clear Storage
4. Type in 1234
5. Select Yes


if this helps please rate the posting..thanks

I tried using a the google mail java app on my tmobile dash. It froze up on me, and when i turned it back on it just stays at the "tmobile" splash screen. I have tried using the soft key and power button reset but it doesnt work. What's weird is that it wont power down unless I take the battery out. It powers on, shows the tmobile splash screen, then freezes. Is there any other way to reset it or is it totally bricked? I bought it new off craiglslist so tmobile wont replace it for me cause I'm using it unlocked on cingular.

Ok bro I know I am a bit too late to help you with this problem but someone else may benefit from these directions. I see most places online only have half advice about this very common problem with T-mobile Dash.

This is what you need to do, you have to do a hard reset exactly like "reviel" mention. Also like he said timing is essential but the trick is that you need to show some patience through the process.

Note: Please read the directions completely before doing anything for better results.

Step 1: Take your battery out and shut off your phone
Step 2: Press and hold the two soft key buttons.
Step 3: Press and hold the power button for exact two seconds, 1001, 1002 and release, but continue to hold the two soft key buttons.
Step 4: Within seconds a black screen with some text will come up asking you to confirm if you wanna delete everything; and right then you let go of your soft key buttons and press the green call button (also known as the "send key").
Step 5: You are done but not really, your job now is to find something else to do and leave your phone alone for at least 2 minutes. Eventually if you don't have a SIM in it, it will prompt you for it and you click the soft key to choose "OK"; also, it will ask you to confirm to restart and you click the soft key to chose "Done" for it.

Wait a minute for it boot up and overall it should do it.

do a sw reset....its possible it was damaged when it was dropped in the water, but not likey....

turn the phone off, press and hold the soft keys (buttons with the lines on them above the home key and back arrow key) and hold it down.....press the power button while you are doing that until the white t-mobile screen will come on, then instead of going to the green windows mobile screen, a black screen with white writing......press the green button....it will get you in your phone but it will erase your info as a result....
