so now im at abit of a loss. i'll keep trying and charge the battery. Ironically from my last firmware try it went to 100/250 blocks so atleast i see a light go one when connected to a charger.
Any ideas on how to flash Erom?

Strange. you have correct comport selected? And pressed the power button?

Because the platform sends bogus messages while charging, that is why!!!..But why this change of heart?..We sense a charger connected, oops, we will not shut down after all!!!..*********************** UI BASIC, HOLD YOUR HORSES

haha dont listen to guy who just posted, he obviously is not to familair with the makeup of SEMC firmware. Soldering stuff lol

Well, i guess setool isnt working for you (cable com or os issue i think)

So give the davinci recovery file ago. Also see if you can get another battery from anothe phone or charge the bad one in it.

my guess is the battery is reaaaally dead. imma let it charge for a loong time and then try again. Cuz it hasnt charged a whole lot. But i also notice i cant flash at all if i go at rate of 38400, 57600 only works for about 1 min and 115200 doesnt go at all. Maybe the cable is abit f'd up?

Edit: Yeah imma the battery, cuz now i see the red light on so atleast i kno its charging. From what i heard from your previous posts gbrook is that a good refreshed battery will help. but still wondering why only the lower speed rates work

What cable are you using? T28 only supports 115200. Other speeds with USB are affected becuase the V800 is a Marita chip phone Cannot be flashed at full speed.

yeah im using a T28, u say it only supports 115200? but lower speeds will work right? it kinda was working for me lol. So then what about usb cables? will they help fasten the process or is still useless since u said the v800 cant go full speed.

Sure can go slower but Marita chip only supporting maximum baud 460800.

I really suggest you get another battery, then flash EROM or Davinci Recovery file and then do a full reflash.

Thats nothing to worry about. I dont think you have setool set up correctly, becuase it does work - and you 100% have EROM erased problem - i see it nearly everyday.

If you have another PC try with that. Otherwise i will need to speak with you on MSN or ICQ or whatever.

Strange, all looks good. Have you any antivirus? Firewall? Power managment activated? If so turn it all off.
