Sorry mate. But its not really by fault as it is not normal that a phone hangs when reset. Try to replace the firmware |

I bet it isn't.. how could that possibly be normal? Hehe.. anyway.. how is the firmware reset going to work if I can't even turn the phone on? I thought the starting position of a firmware installation is to have the phone turned on?

Ok this is not good. WTF is going on?
I just tried recovery mode update and that didn't work.. telling me that I have to have used the updater service before for recovery mode to work, and I DID use the updater service before and it's still giving me that.
Well.. I tried the regular update mode and then got this!!
What the hell!? What now? |

This is not good. Take it to SE service centre. You will not be charged if you have warranty. |

Will a Sony store work? I don't know if I have insurance. Bought it from Newegg.com  |

You gotta ask them whether they repair phones. |

I can't believe nobody here could tell me this... I posted about my problem in about 5 different forums.. Esato, Mobileburn, DSLReports (it's where I hang out the most), HowardForums.. and the DavinciTeam forum.. and with all that combined, I got exactly ONE useful answer, and that from a guy at the DavinciTeam forums whose post was so short I didn't believe it could hold the solution... but it did! Here is all he said:
"I had a similar problem to yours and it was related to the Memory stick card. When I took that out the phone would work fine but froze like yours when it was in. I had to get a new card. Worth a try, hope it helps."
That did it! Now I wonder if my card is busted..  . And why would a freakin phone reset kill my memory card? I'll see what I can do. |

Thats good news. See if the card works on a card reader. |

It doesn't seem to be working with the card reader... I have a card reader that can read all kinds of cards.. it has four slots on it so in Windows it is represented by four drive letters/drives that show up. I put the card in and double clicked each new drive letter and every time it said "please insert media" or something to that extent...
That sucks. |
