try turning off the cellphone and remove the battery for like 20 minutes - 30 minutes. after that, plug the battery back in and try turning the phone on. if it still doesn't solve the problem, you might as well take it to the service center...

i think so... i have updated my phone's software (not W550i) many times through SEUS, and i tried it once in a service center. it DOESN'T erases the phone memory. so it would be a good idea to back up the phone memory before updating the firmware...

EDIT: SORRY FOR THE WRONG INFO (CHANGED "ALWAYS" TO "DOESN'T")

Updating through SEUS doesnt erase your phones memory. Neither does it when you take it to be updated at an authorised service point. The reason why your memory is erased is that before the service point performs the update the do a master reset on your phone. If the reset solves your problem then they will not do an update and give you your phone back.

Latest red flashes = R4AB048 (R7B039 for W600)
Latest brown flashes = R4CA004

aside from these, any signs of new firmware yet?

is it red or is it brown?

*- red = public release/SEUS flashes; brown = developer/beta (?)
