Dead S500i

Hey,

I successfully flashed my S500 with R8BE001 Generic MAIN and the America_2 FS and Custom Pack, however when using the SIM-Lock patch in SETool2 Lite I encountered a problem. When trying to apply the Quick Access patch with the bypass DB2020 setting I would hold C and plug in the cable, but the following message came up:

Trying to launch embedded bootloader...
embedded flashloader not responds !

and the phone would turn on as normal and access the Ericsson phone suite. So I tried just checking bypassing DB2020 security only and the following occured:

CID52 BYPASS PROCEDURE STARTED
Processing part1...
CSloader version:

Flash ID check:897E
Flash props sent ok

CID52 BYPASS PROCEDURE FINISHED

When I unplugged the phone it wouldn't turn on at all, and neither holding 2 and 5 or C would connect it via USB to anything. So is my phone bricked and if so, is there any way to fix this without sending back to Sony?? It's under warranty (in Australia) but I think I voided it by not flashing with ANZ firmware.

Thanks in advance

your batt is dead... charging the battery and try to reapply the quick access

it was fully charged when I started trying the bypass... any reason why it would drain so quickly?

faulty battery, maybe?
