I updated, but as Billy, the phone stucks at the Gooapple screen and I can’t change anything anymore. What to do?
Ok doke let me get on it and find out.
it happened after the Rom update by the way.
I was told you should try the new ROM which you can find here: http://download.android-sale.com/downloads/ let me know how it works
ok, interesting note: if you go deep into the headphone hole with a small pin, you hit the reset button and everything is fixed again. 🙂

I am not having any luck with the update. I have booted the phone, connected it, gone into ApUpdate (unzipped) and started the process. A message comes up about granting access so I click yes, same message comes up and click yes again. Then a cmd screen comes up with the only option being “n” and then a message Could not find C:……ApUpdatetemp*.txt
Any help is appreciated. Thx!

The page you are refering to says it is for the V5 phone and not 3G. Will that update work on the 3G?
Thanks!
I have updated the new instructions to include the ROM for the 3G phone too.
