sweet, thanks Dex, i'll have to try to do this if i get another one. whats the button combo for fastboot?

total newb response but does the computer you hook it up to need the kyocera cd installed? also, do you type "fastboot -w" on the computer or the phone? getting to the fast boot screen i understand, it's just everything after that i'm lost.

thanks in advance.

You will need the usb drivers installed for the phone to be reconized, yes you can find those on the kyocera disc that came with the phone, also can use the links above.

as far as where to type in the fastboot command, i am also curious on how that is done exactly. Will i have to use something like Android sdk? (bootloader unlock)
I have a second zio m6000 stuck at the pattern unlock, id like to wipe and restore to factory..

Other than that i love this phone, once you get used to it, hope i can get the 2.2 running!

after you download drivers open up cmd
type these commands without quotations
type "cd c:\android-sdk-windows"
then "cd tools"
than type command on dexs post.

you will see it format two things

after its done pull out battery and turn on.

you should have a hard reset zio.

thanks to dex for the command!
