Ok, here's the basics: I have a Samsung SCH-I730 PDA phone which "had" WM 2003 on it to begin with. I was trying to upgrade it to WM 5, and made a mistake of moving it while in it's holder, and threw off the installation.
Needless to say, I've the imfamous "white screen" but the phone will still boot up in emergency mode and so forth. However, I can't get WM 5 back on it. Does anyone know if it's possible to put the original OS back on it (WM 2003), and if so, where can I get it from if it can be found on the Net. Thanks.
HERE'S MY POST ON A FORUM ABOUT IT:
Just bought the phone from Ebay, and it had WM 2003 on it. Read some of the many posts on attempting to update it WM 5. Had some success, but accidentally removed phone from cradle - it now continuously reads "Formatting Root" with the white screen background.
I've tried the whole starting in Emergency Mode and taking the battery out of the phone... it still reads "Formatting Root." On occasion, it will go to the 2% when attempting to load up WM5, but I've never actually fully load WM 5... could this be the problem?
Being that this is 2011 now, has anyone finally found a way to reload WM 2003 onto the unit. My final question is could this phone be a true, unusable brick and should I give it to my kid to tear up now? Any help is appreciated.
