Just tried to upgrade the firmware on my W900 via the SE Update Service. Halfway through my PC crashed. Now my phone won't turn on at all and if I try to use the SEUS again it says that my phone already has the latest update!

Er, what can I do? I need to fix this! Please help!

I've also purchased a credit on Davinci and downloaded the R5BB001 files. However, when I try to flash all I get is:

Client Version 15.81
**** READING CID STARTED ****
Turn off the phone.
Hold "C" button and plug USB cable.
Phone attached!

And it won't detect my phone. Er, help? I am holding down C everytime!

Try the restore function (or whatever it's called) on SEUS.

Where's that? And all of a sudden my phone isn't recognised in Windows either. Whereas before when I inserted the USB cable and held down 'C' you could see/hear something going on. Nothing is happening at all now.

Hoorah! I left the battery out of my W900 for about five hours and by doing that it seems to fix whatever problem it was with my phone being recognised. Anyway, a few minutes of crossed-fingers whilst Davinci flashed my phone later... It's all fixed and working now.

Don't think I'll be using the SEUS any time soon...

You can use SEUS. Just buy a UPS or don't crash your PC.
