Hi everyone,
I am not new to Esato and wish not to waste time as I am not a n00b.

I recently found out that I could flash my K750 to a W800 without the need of the Davinci program, by using Far/SEFP and I managed to get everything working up until the point of downloading the files for the W800i via the SEUS.

As the process initiated and began flashing to W800i I got an error message from Flash Player and so I had to interupt the SEUS and everything messed up.

I then tried to re do the whole process again and I am now unable to switch my phone back on, flash it or charge it.
I've read through most of the other forum posts but everyone keeps saying, "Do you have a warrenty?", but if you check the terms and conditions of the warranty it does not cover malfunctionings or wear and tear.

My K750i was already updated to the latest firmware R1CA021 and I have never had this problem before. If my phone was able to switch on at least I could reflash it again, but in this scenario I am stuck with this dilema.

Could anyone please offer me some help on what I may do to fix this problem.

and before you reply I have tried 99.9% of the things already mentioned on previous posts!

Is there any way of forcing the mobile to switch on?
maybe there is a switch on the PCB board that has a hard reset.

At the begining it was at 75% and then after using Far for awhile as I was creating my own custom menu icons, I then discovered I could flash it to W800i and then my battery level was at around 50-45%.

and I couldnt check when I was using the SEUS the battery level but I doubt very much that it went all the way down to 20% or lower :S

I have now just charged my phone for awhole day and I switched the phone on and still nothing.

Also when I leave my phone charging for awhile the Infared LED at the top appears for about 10 minutes and then disappears.

Lol I am the qwerty12 at se-nse . in my experience, if a lot of the blocks already flashed (from 64 im my experence, probably much less). the davinci client 13.7 will detect the phone and you can grab some firmware of top sony and flash it with ribc002 firmware. If nothing works (not even sefp) go and buy a service cable and repair it yourself with setool and sonics. there is a guide on topsony for that.

The phone does not even come on. Its not detected by the computer. When the phone is finalised the certs are copied too. Also if it wasnt finalised you would get configuration error; contact your network provider.

right now the main problem I'm having is getting my computer to recognise the device. I formatted my computer thinking that it might have been a driver conflict, but I get the same problem on every machine I try with.

and when I try to install the USB Flash driver, it says its copying it the system32/driver folder but just froze at the end.

It was all down to that stupid Macromedia Flash error, if that didn't popup then I would have had a working k750/w800 :@

bring up a command prompt;
type set devmgr_show_nonpresent_devices=1
and type devmgmt.msc . look to see if the flash device is there . if it is delete it.
Search for ggsemc. if you find the ggsemc files. zip/rar them up and delete the originals. grab the w800 signed usb drivers.exe of sony ericsson and install them. for good measure grab the zip file off sony ericsson containing k750 drivers (I dont know if it is a k750 or a w800 ; either way if the upgrade goes well in the end you are gonna need the drivers) .
grab these: http://forums.se-nse.net/index.php?act=Attach&type=post&id=1222

and put them in the same folder as the k750 drivers and hold down c and see if it detects the phone.

I tried that and now the USB Flash driver installed successfully, but I think my phone has to be switched on for it to install the rest of the other drivers :S

Where abouts in London are you from? Are you familiar with Tottenham court Road.. I might just go there and see if any of the guys in one of the phone shops can do something. Otherwise what else do you suggest I do, all I need is for my computer to recognise that its a K750 and I can reflash it using SEUS.

Me? Im from Forest Gate,East London. I love tottenham court road. Anyway Sorry but I cant think of anything. A service cable can repair any dead se but its easier going to the phone shop. You may want to ask for them to put on r1bc unbranded and to get it unlocked seeing as they will have to use a service cable?
