Sounds like you have a VERY dead phone

This is a very common problem... Your battary is not full charged so it can't open the OS... so you must put the charger to phone at restart your phone and then reset it with *#7370# then it will work....
good luck 😃

I have this same problem too...

It occured yesturday.

I gave my phone to my friends child too play 'Xonix' and the next thing I know he's managed to open SeleQ.

From then on everytime I open an app Camera, Sdoubler, Xonix, Messaging etc I get and 'System Error'. So first thing I did was to uninstall all my apps and games and then backup my phone using PC Suite. I then formatted my phone using System Tools. When it had restarted after formatting everything was working fine, no errors at all.

This morning I restored my phone back to how it was just before I formatted it. Guess what....I have the 'System Error' message again.

So from what I can gather my friends child must have either edited or deleted a file from C:\System or C:\System\data and when I restored it the file was put back to the same. I did notice that there wasn't as many files in these 2 folders when I browsed using SeleQ just after he was playing with it. Especially a WLZ_...... in C:\System\data that I always used to see while browsing.

Can any of you guy and gals out there help me to sort this problem please.

THANKS IN ADVANCE

Hi everyone, it's ok now. I've sorted the 'System Error' problem.

I had uninstalled Wildskinz (bad app as you all know) a few minutes before I gave the phone to my friends child to play. Had no problems with it on my phone, I just did'nt like it. The problem was that there was a system.ini configiration file in C:\System that was trying to open C:\System\fep\WildSkinz.fep everytime the screen reloaded. Which was most probably the skin.

Anyway I deleted the System.ini configiration file and another one was automatically created and everything is now running as before.

So if anyone else has a system error problem after uninstalling wildskinz, please note the above.
