Ok, so the other day my girlfriend was playing a game with my W900, well she couldn't figure out how to end the game so just turned the phone off, while it's not a good idea I didn't realize that little mistake would cause so many problems.

So after that happened, no Java apps would run. In my rookie troubleshooting skills, I decided to do a master reset and master clear (not a good idea by the way). I had no idea that doing a master clear would actually delete even the programs that came on the phone. If that wasn't bad enough, whats left of my Java apps and games STILL won't run.

So I've finally figured out that if I delete the game or app and then redownload it, it works, the only problem is that alot of the things I deleted I cannot find a way to get back.

If I am able to locate the firmware on the internet and reload it on my phone will that give me back everything my phone came with? If so, does anyone know where I can find the R5AC011 (or a newer) firmware or does anyone have any other suggestions?

Thanks for your time.

you have to flash the firmware yourself which is a waste of time if you dont have the right equipment or knowledge and i dont think its worth it personally. the stuff on the phone should be easy to find on the internet as there was a w800 thread with all the original stuff in not so long back. anyway i dont know if a re flash will recover all the stuff on the phone. from what i know it deletes everything thats why people back up and was the case for me on my k500. not sure about these newer phones but am sure it is the same. what i am trying to say is i would look for the games yourself but if you continue to have poblems then you will have to upgrade the firmware to iron them out but i feel it aint worth it now as it wont recover anything( that i know of). sounds just like the games became corrupted.
