Recover the Sidekick 2008 from the screen with a picture of a sidekick who has x’s for eyes and stars over his head like someone punched him.

This screen will give you the option to select a language and to reboot the sidekick 2008. If rebooting it just keeps bringing you back to the same screen, follow the procedure below to help recover it.  As with anything, there is no guarantee that this is always work.

To resolve this issue follow the steps listed below:

1. Remove the battery and the SIM card from the Sidekick 2008

2. Let the phone sit for 30 minutes without the battery and SIM card

3. Reinsert the battery and the SIM card and power the Sidekick on.

4. If issue still remains try it one more time but let the battery sit out for 2 hours (overnight is better)

If the above procedure does not work then you can perform a Sidekick 2008 Master Reset.

If the Master Reset and the above procedure do not fix your problem, you will need to call the T-mobile Customer Care number at 1-877-453-1304.
