My C901 keeps rebooting ... it just gets to the main screen and then shuts down ... so I cant get to the master reset menu quick enough.
I've tried using re-flashing it it says I ahve the latest software ... how do I 'force' a re-flash?
I think my problems started when I loaded up Googlemaps, ever since then I have had this problem.
Any hints much appreciated!
Thanks |

Use this program:
Download A2uploader
Download these files (from the first link you need to download both FS and MAIN):
Download firmware
Custom files (generally, custom files from other phones will work aswell)
Follow the tutorial:
Flashing tutorial
Oh, btw... USE THE SEARCH!!!

You don't need to force it the software will just ask you if you wish to reinstall

Hold keys 2 and 5 when connecting to A2 Uploader during flashing. This worked for me

SEUS won't give re-install option, if his set has corrupted or no cda.

volume100 - Thanks for all that.
I followed the tutorial and ran A2uploader succesfully,
but I get a Config Error (Blue Screen) when I re-start the phone.
I used the Western-europe and FS and generic MAIN,
Are they all the same, will I end up with the phone booting in a non english language if I try others?
I skipped Step 7. onwards becuase I dont have any files to customise. |

Well there's your problem! Volume100 gave you the custom files in his post

Thanks everyone ... its all up and running now 
Gives me some confidence to try some of the camera mods I have seen using Auploader etc ...
I spent ages today trying to resolve this before I came on this forum .. I even rang SE UK, they just said 'the C901 is not a UK model so we cannot support it' aaarrgh! |

I've tried also to reflash my phone with SEUS, because of my camera focusing problems. But the only message was that I already have the latest firmware. There was no further question, if I want to reinstall the firmware...
I don't really want to use the A2 uploader, but I tried it too, to try one of the modded camdrivers, and I didn't managed to get to the phones firmware files... |

As i told in my previous posts that SEUS doesn't give re-install option if your phone has either a corrupted or no cda at all.
This usually happens when you extract something from your phone's firmware using codeclaw generated .bin files.
To resolve this issue, u just need to put a correct customize_upgrade.xml of your region (can be generated using any available CDA geneartor) to tpa/preset/custom.
Restart the phone. It will upgrade the CDA. Now shut down and try SEUS. It must give you reinstall option now.

@ buntoo
How could I do that, if I can't acces those files with A2? |
