Hello,

I purchased an M1000 a few months back (second hand), and the phone side of it worked for a few days. I put a few bits of software on there, didn't like them and took them off. When i came to use the phone it wouldn't work. Not sure if this was a result of the software i had put on there and taken off or not.

Everything else works on the M1000, even texting works !!, so it cannot be a sim card or network problem. I just cannot call out or receive calls.

I change it to "flight mode" then back again, but it just says "No Service". But i can send and receive texts.

So, my question is:
A) Is there a way i can restore the phone feature and make it work again ?
B) Failing that, how do i do a complete factory reset ?. I tried taking the battery out for a few days but that doesn't work. Only the time/date gets forgotten, all software stays on there. I tried a hard reset (poke a pin in the hole), but again that only loses the time, it doesn't put it back to factory settings. I tried using Program files - Shut down - hard reset, but again this only manages to lose the time. It doesn't put it back to factory reset.

The only thing i'm thinking is that the previous owner put WM6 on it, because when it starts up it says "By Chandra Shekhar 3.50c.40CS", and i don't think MS put names on !!! - could this be the issue ?

Anyway, how can i get this M1000 to start being a phone once more ?

Best Regards,
Andrew
