Turn the phone off. Remove the SD card. Tuen the phone on. If it works you have a defective SD card.

If that's the case, mount the SD card in your computer (using whatever adapter you have to). Run PhotoRec - CGSecurity to recover whatever is recoverable.

 

Hi Cursed Chico, what happens if you take your battery out and wait for 45-60 seconds, then replace battery and restart phone? Neil.

 

Hi Chico, You say it will go to Pink screen? Can you select your Image from there?
This phone has 2GB Internal Flash memory. Have you used a File Manager (Astro) and previously moved what was on the Flash memory to your SD card?
What you will lose will be your Contacts, Messages, Photos or Music.
Photos should be in the Gallery which can be stored on the SD card.
Music can be replaced so you may have to do a Reset to get the phone back to normal.

I can't find any way you can stop the Restarts from occurring without a Reset.
Did you Download/Install an App before this trouble happened? :smokingsomb:
That could be the reason for this problem you now have. Sorry Neil.

 

Hi Chico, HOLD everything!!! After Posting my reply to you earlier - I had my spare U8800 connected to the computer to top up the battery. I unplugged it and would you believe it went into RESTART Mode like your phone.
I almost went into panic mode myself then I thought has this anything to do with being connected to the computer.
I went and got my #1 U8800 phone and checked with it plugged into the comp - then disconnected. No problems - it started after shut down and works quite normally.

So I then pulled the battery out of the Restarting phone and it felt a little swollen in the center. :smokingsomb:

The battery is at fault with mine so I suggest you get another new battery for your phone to test before you do a RESET!!! Cheers Neil.

 

Hi Chico, Looks like you should start from Factory Reset. Get a fresh copy of the ROM you're trying to use as the one you have may be corrupt. Neil.

 

Have you checked and confirmed that the ROM you want to Flash is compatible and bug free? Neil.

 

Check with XDA Developers to make sure that the ROM is correct for your phone Model.
If it is, Download a fresh copy.
Have you used CWM to backup and restore your Data? Neil.

 

Hi Chico, Have you seen this:What Is ClockworkMod Recovery And How To Use It On Android [Complete Guide]

There is also a write up on ROM Manager by the same guy explaining what you can and can't do.

If you have CWM and ROM Manager installed - you should be able get your Data back if you have used it correctly. Neil.
