But the phone TURNS ON to update after holding down the 'c' button and plugging it in.

Ok, the main point is that the phone simply restarts no matter what way it's turned on, e.g. through updating or connecting it through the computer.

That's weird cause the phone shouldn't turn on to update it. It should stay turned off.

Do you hold down the 'C' key until it tells you to release it?

reflashed my own yesterday and SEUS told me to charge battery fully then turn off and take battery out! then put batttery back in and when it asks you hold down the "c" key while you plug in the data cable ant it will connect and tell you when to release the "c" key and the phone stays off!

are you sure your power button is not stuck?? this might explain if the phone was continously restarting?

Okay, there's nothing wrong with the phone's power button, and i've done all that battery bullshit, holding the c button down and whatever but you're missing the point.

NONE OF THAT WORKS.

So, I need to find out WHY the phone constantly restarts. It stays on long enough to connect to the network each time and then cuts out. I managed to reset the phone entirely and that still did nothing.

IT SIMPLY DOES NOT STAY ON, PERIOD.
Not even with the 'c' button held down
Not even when I try to update it
Nothing! =[

We got your point dude. We were just checking you had done everything right. You'd be surprised at how many people don't know how to update their phone or need step-by-step instructions all the way through.

Do you know anyone with the same phone? Or at least the same battery? Try swapping an identical battery into your C902 and see if it works then. It might be that your battery is screwed.

Battery might be the problem aswell. Or it may need full flashing with Totalgsm or other online flashing clients, which are not free you know.

Also, you can try holding down the "2" button rather than "c" when attempting to update

This was the case with my w880i...

Better hold the "2" and "5" buttons when connecting to SEUS.

Hi im new here, I just flashed my c902 to R3ea038 via SEUS. All went smoothly. After flashing, I checked that under Customisation info there is a weird string 1E0W. How can I get rid of that string? It didn't exist before I flashed the phone. I took out M2 card and SIM Card prior to flashing. My battery was 100 percent full. And also will i able to update my firmware again in the future on SEUS with this "1e0w" string? Thanks.
