my K850 was working fine ...... i went to my university ...... was working fine but when i just randomly pulled it out to message my friend i found out that my phone was off !
i pulled out the battery, put it back again ! turned the phone on .......... but all it did was flash the lights of the keypad and the camera light on the back !
no screens at all !
i left it alone !!!
after 30 mins or so i tried again and the phone turned on ..... but was slow !
i did a master reset ........ but after that it would keep getting held on the sony erricsson logo !
after some time ........ the same keypad light an camera light thing started again !
i came home ........ flashed the phone with A2 Uploader ....... it flashes ok but keeps doing the same thing !!!!


what to do ?? please help !!!

There is also an Option "Continue Anyway" on SEUS even if your phone has the latest software, you can reflash it with SEUS.

Had the same problem once...but got rid of it!

upload "customize_upgrade.xml" file to the phone "tpa/preset/custom" using A2Uploader, switch on your phone to activate the changes, when you run your phone through SEUS it will detect the CDA doesn't match and ask if you want to reinstall the software again, then click "Continue anyway" and SEUS will continue to install the new firmware

i have the file..but dont know how to attach here :S

well i have already mentioned that the phone is not turning on !

so how can i "switch on your phone to activate the changes" ??

but i tried it any way ........ didnt work !
SUES just says "no update available " and the only option to click is " back to start " !
