Ok so i been playing around and i even got Manila to load... but then i broke it trying to edit manila. So now i get this blank today screen and i can't change it. I need to hard reset it but when i do (talk + end + stylus in the tiny hole) it goes back to the same thing. Please help.

you need to make sure you follow through with the hard reset. When you talk+end+reset it should ask you to verify tou want to hard reset, and then you will see a blue status bar as your phone's memory is completely wiped and re-written. The only way a hard reset wouldn't work is if you flashed your phone incorrectly. I would suggest trying to hard reset again.

Yeah like musicman said, you have to follow through. dont just push the buttons and let go..... HOLD all three together until grey screen with blue bar pops up.

If its that hard go to Start>Settings>System>Clear Storage it will do the same thing as a hard reset

Reflashing will also clear it up as well... If you can't hard reset.

OH i wasn't holding them long enough. Ok got it now. I installed Manila 2D 19 with the Weather fix you can download. I also loaded the customizer and i was trying to look at that to see what it showed me. Then the phone froze so i soft reset and when it came back i had to today screen nothing, it was all blank with just a background and i couldn't get any program to load up. Hard reset fixed it all though. now to try again. good thing i backed everything up. Thank you for the help.
