Start > settings > system > Clear storage

or

Power off
the holding the Volume Down, OK button, Press & Hold the power button

I would try Mighty again...you probably had a bad flash or installed something on there ot make it go crazy.

Re: Hard Reset? and new ROMS

I'm using Mighty 6 right now and have experienced the same issue. While I don't know how to "fix" it, it should go away relatively quickly (within a few hours or so). I've only encountered this when I've taken my phone to a different location (say California to Colorado) where my reception isn't as good. Doing a soft reset hasn't solved it, but if I leave it alone for a little while, it seems to fix itself. Contacts come back, TF3D begins to work again. That's just my experience though.

Re: Hard Reset? and new ROMS

Yes you do. You lose everything. A hard reset will remove anything not stored on a memory card. Any flashed radio or ROM will still be there though. Make sure you back up anything you want before you reset.

thats right - the rom itself is stored in a different location in memory. the only way to overwrite is to flash again

Re: Hard Reset? and new ROMS

You should be able to just flash it like you did the first time. It will essentially overwrite what's there, with the exact same thing. For some purposes it's recommended to flash back to the stock ROM, but I doubt that's necessary at this point. Also, after you flash a ROM, it has been suggested that you do an additional hard reset just to make sure everything's fresh and clear. Some people pull the battery out and pop it back in too.
