How to master Reset the Sidekick 2008.

This procedure will wipe your sidekick 2008 clean.  It will be set to factory default settings so do this only as a last resort.

1. Press @+1+0 at the same time

2. When the screen goes blank, press and hold the letter R

3. Keep the R button pressed down until the 4 symbols appear on the white background

4. Let go of the R button

5. The Sidekick 2008 will power cycle once more and then be done.

This procedure will completely wipe you sidekick clean. If you are at the point where you can’t get it to boot, then it doesn’t make much of  a difference.

Let me know if you have success with this below.
