So I went to hook it up to my computer and it froze. Not able to do anything I took out the battery and put it back in. Problem is, it turns on with a white screen. I hace a K800 by the way. So what do I do?

Reflash it. You're screwed coz your data is good as gone but I guess that's the only way I can think of that could revive your phone

Eh, I presume most of his stuff was on his memory card which will not be affected by this, and hopefully you backed up your contacts to your SIM card, then it's really just your notes, calendar enteries etc. and any stuff you had on the phone memory that's gone.

Reflash it using SEUS.

Yeah I have everything on my memory card. If I reflash it will I have to deal with reinstalling java games? And I also know that you need to press the C button which is pretty much unavailable.

You will be losing your contacts (but you can restore them if you've backed them up on your memory card) text messages (even if you've saved them on memory card), notes, calendar entries...I'd say that's pretty much every darn data you have really...oh...and your games too. But it has to be done since there's no other choice is there

All my contacts and such are on a sim/memory card so I'm not worried other then games. The games are easy to get again so whatever. Now how to get Seus on a Windows 2000 computer is my problem.

You will need to reinstall your games again. Also if you are unable to use the C button. Press and hold down 2 and 5 at the same time instead. You may find thats it an Erom fault. Especially if the phone hasn't been updated before. SEUS cannot update the EROM AFAIK. It can only do the main firmware. Its still worth giving SEUS a try first though. Otherwise use totalgsm, Davinciteam etc to restore your phone and they will also update the EROM as well.

I had a similar problem before that can't be solved by flashing, good thing then, my K800i was still under warranty so I had it replaced.

how's your phone, were you able to re flash it successfully?
