system settings

can any one help i'm not sure how ive done it but ive pretty much ruined my fone.

my 3650 wen you turn it on says: "system error!, telephone error!, start-up error!". one message at a time.

then if you go to menu : "menu:system error!"

and every program you open says: "<program name> system error!"
also images and messages as well.

in messages you can only type numbers, it seems to of lost the ability to type letters any where. this includes in messages, in contacts when trying to select and when naming and saving files.

my logical response was to back up all my pics, vids etc and go to tools and reset default settings. go into tools - no problem, go intto settings - "settings system error!", click on phone - no problem, click general - "app closed gs cone 14 !" none of the other tools seem to be affected as i can remove programs etc.

can any one help and explain how to solve this or send me there settings (dont know if this is possible) because at the moment my phone is really useless!

thanking any one and everyone who can help in advance!

If you have backed up everything you need you can do a hard reset.Type *#7370# .Make sure that you have the charger plugged in and be patient,the should take couple of minutes.After that,all data will be gone.

Sounds like Wildskins bug.

Did you uninstall it without deactivating it?

Reinstall wildskins
reboot
activate
reboot
deactive
reboot
check it's deactivated
uninstall.

Not all those reboot are nesessary but do them anyways to be sure the changes have taken effect.

You can also try deleting your system.ini file as apparently that clears it too, along with all your settings thou.

Or do a format as ghostdog suggested.. thats the best way - but then you lose your data too - and any applications installed to phone or MMC will need reinstalling.

Best

well cheers the format worked, and did not delete my calendar or any programs, just the settings and my contacts!

not a problem thanks to my backup!

well and one know of any good, free programs for creating my own look for my fone, as i cant be bothered to pay i want freeware and i want it now!lol.

thanks for the help guys
