i work in a cellfone store, yesterday i have a customer come to me with a dead s500 dat wont turn on at all... when i plug it into a charger it only flash red light on the side a few times n thats it, could the EROM be corrupted inside?? i swap battery with another working s500 but it still the same problem...is there a way to fix it??
1. Install the USB flash drivers on a computer
2. Plug in the USB cable into the computer
3. Plug in the other end of the USB cable into the phone keeping pressed the C key in the same time
That should reinitialize its flash memory. If it's not working then you should use SE Tool to find out what is wrong. Maybe it needs to be flashed again.
da customer brought it to some store n try to reflash it but it didnt work... i have a multiserver cable... wonder does it work with the s500??
also im juz wondering wat is the difference between multiserver cable n crusier cable??

You can try to use Cruiser to flash SW & FS file to S500,and than use xs++ to customize it,because Cruiser year 06 customize is not free,we always used xs++ to customize phone.
the thing is XS++ wont read the fone
oic, using that matter wat cable i need to use to connect to setool2?? regular DCU-60 is ok??
Try with DCU-60 and post a result.

xs++ is unable to read the dead s500... and only crusier cable is able to make the comp to read it... n xs++ is unable to let me pick the com
o wow i somehow fixed da fone!!
the red blinking light is gone!! now when i turn on the fone it vibrates then keypad n side lights turn on, but the screen is all black
now proper flash main and fs good luck and good night *gasp*
nope...flash main n fs still comes out a black screen...
can dis b a software problem or hardware??
Try to flash it to W580.
i am unable to flash any FS, or MAIN to this S500... im able to do the flash or flash it to w580 but it still da same firmware in the S500 after flash
and the fone still only showing me a black screen after flash
I think it's a hardware problem. You did everything you can.
i think your phone is really dead
u mean dead as in theres no way to fix it at all??
the customer juz use the fone regularly but one day it juz see red lighting blinking on the side even batt is full charge... i took a long time to figure out how to fix the EROM n GDFS but still not working now
