downloaded a sis program called "extended theme manager." after the installation finished, the menu locked up. rebooted the phone and now i cant get into anything and it stays at the home screen. when i hold down the menu button for a few seconds, a small window pops up in the corner left and shows a skull.
any help would be greatly appreciated.
thanks in advance,
henry

Have u tried killing the process with the C button? If you can boot when u hold the menu button a skull appeard cant u kill it, or have appman kill and close all apps?
From my understanding u can still boot but it freezes.
If u installed on MMC take out the MMC then reboot. Try booting in safe mode as well. I dont think this is a virus just some bugy program.

Safe mode? how? on a 7610? chuckle. 🙄
hhmmm, I just read on some other forum on this site about holding down the pen key while booting for safe mode. I cant tell though if this has worked on mine (not that I need this safe mode, I am just curious) as I have nothing that starts up really.
I could autostart agile maybe. Hmmm.

Not a 7610 user so ive no idea, just the conotation that mine, a 3660 of lower symbian OS does have the ability to boot in safe mode. 🙄
Hi all, I also got the same problem like pdog. Then I try the full phone format and it worked. Everything back to normal but I lost all my downloaded program. Still it is better than having a dead phone.
