hi all,
im so happy i found this post because this happened to me a month ago and i thought i was the only one. I had my w800i for only a month till it happened  I handed the phone to o2 and has been exactly 1 month now since they had it and still havent had it back!
I was just off the phone to friend when i realised the network coverage was completely flat, so i switched it off (as this helps sometimes) and when i tried to switch it back on, it has a white light for 2 secs and then goes of! I have not flashed the phone and is at its original status |

Good news guys, i finally found the solution. I got mine fixed with the help of the Davinci software. Download the backup GDFS of k750i from this link "www.davinciteam.com/K750gdfs.zip" (without the quotes ofcourse). Use the Davinci Software Version 14.0(Its the latest one). Then go to the Repair tab. Uncheck everything, except the WRITE GDFS tab. Then browse to the file(U have to unzip the file first, u will get .bin file) u downloaded from the Davinci site. Then hit the DO JOB button. It will take arnd 2 mins and hopefully your phone shud work after that. My phone started working after i did this. I had exactly the same problem like u guys had. You wud need 1 credit for this.
PS: Plz try it at ur own risk. I wont be liable, if something goes wrong. It worked fine for me. So i am assuming, it will work for u guys as well.

Just went to the o2 shop to complain about my phone as it had been away for 4 weeks now. They realised that it was repaired and was on its way back only 2 days after i had handed it. The problem was that it wasn't at the shop. So the man rang up the repairers and complained to them, apparently my phone got lost in the post! now they said that they would send me a brand new one (hopefully including the full kit, incuding another memory card  ) and should be here in 4 days!

Why are you guys flashing the K phone with the W fw? I think you are asking for trouble. The fw was never the most stable in new SE phones.

mines in the service centre....and i believe they are just flashing it. Getting it back on wednesday:( Luckily im on school holidays and dont need it anyway. I still find it weird how its all happening at the same time. Kinda like they made a batch of phones which are all going to have this problem |

I was told by the Davinci guys that its a very common problem with SE phones. The GDFS gets corrupted very easily. I hope, we wont face this problem again. |

You can give it a try. There is no harm in trying. Davinci credits are not free, they cost 10 euros if u buy it from the Davinci site. |
