do a hard reset (assuming you still boot ur fon until the main menu) *#7370#! *note: everything on the phone will be lost after the reset. I suggest you format your Memory Card first then reset the phone. Must have at least 3 bars of battery or better charge the fon while doing the hard reset.

Dnt Format Yet!!!.... Do U Have A Selq Or File Manager?.... F U Have.... Go Tot C:system/install.. Delete The "spacedoubler"

If he can actually enter the menu he can uninstall it.

To avoid these instances is it true that we should install on MMC rather than on the Phone memory so that if these errors happen we could just take out the MMC and boot normally? Or with that delete the Culprit program using a Card reader? 🙄

That is exactly what i do,phone memory is 99% clean.

Thanks for confirming that sir.
I hope that helps many people and served as another benchmark for future queries. 😃

I had the same problem. Removing the system.ini file from the system folder worked for me.
