I just flashed my K600i with Davinci but it failed half way through. The phone is now dead - it won't switch on. Davicini can't read from it. I've tried removing the battery and recharging it etc. Still nothing.

I think I might need to flash the EROM but I don't know how. Also topsony.com is down which is where I need to get the files I need from.

Can anyone please help. I'd be eternally grateful. I've tried contacting Davinci Team but they are being unresponsive.

Many thanks!

If you dont mess it up you will never learn! Anyway, just look around for the erom file or wait until topsony is back up, theres no need to panic, which i did when i killed my k750i!!! It can be fixed but it will just take some time.

I think the best thing is the option Bobafett mentioned. Just tell them what happened.

Okay thanks I've posted a message there and hope that someone can recommend somwhere where I can send it to get it fixed cheaply and quickly.

I'm disappointed that Davinci Team have been so unhelpful - I did pay them after all.

nobody knows what that davinci is or who they are. i would never ever trust my money to a site, where not even a fone nr is shown. email and msn contacts arent trustworthy for me

I'm sure if you took your phone to a local retailer in the first place they'd be able to flash it with whichever firmware version you want although they wouldn't be able guarantee what they've done for obvious reasons.

Okay I sent my phone to be repaired. They called me the day after I sent it telling me that they have fixed. £20. So I am happy.

I will never trust Davinci Team ever again. I advise anyone not to use them - they just take your money and don't want to know if something goes wrong.
