My W580 is DEAD, please HELP ME!

Hi there, this is my first posting, It's been 15 days since i "updated" my W580 to R6BC002 but the problem that now it doesn't even turn on, it just blinks a red light at right side. I have tried to flash write its GDFS but it says that it was unable, then i got this from my Identify:

ChipID:9900,EMP protocol:0301
BOOTROM MODE DETECTED
Speed:921600
Flash ID check:897E

please help me!!!!!!!!!!!!1

Reinsert battery and do NOT turn on!

Use Setool, click Identify then hold 2 and 5 instead "C" button and plug USB cable. Then reninsert battery and do NOT turn on!!!
Connect to XS++ v3.1 and flash only Main: W580_R6BC002_MAIN_GENERIC_LA_RED52

May be a strange question, but have you tried to charge the battery? If it doesn't works, then the EROM is dead. Solution: REPAIRING EROM GUIDES for most sonyericsson phones

I have tried to charge it and so far it seems like charging every time i connect it to the outlet.
What about if it is all about the EROM how can i reapair it easely even when it seems like totally dead?

the other day i took it to a "technician" but he said to me that he didn't posses the necesaire software to repair my phone, I saw he tried with Setool and far.
I also heard that one of way to sove this is to fill in the phone like a emptyboard, anyone knows something about this?

Oh man, it didn't work at all. because SX ++ 3.1 could not recognize my phone, it displayed this:

15:13:17| Baseband ID: 9900
15:13:17| Protocol Version: 3.1

When i tried to flash only using Setool i got this:

Could this be the end??

Have you repaired the EROM(do you still get the red light blinking)? Follow this link to repair the EROM: REPAIRING EROM GUIDES for most sonyericsson phones

Until you repair the EROM, you cannot do anything with the phone...

I haven't repaired the EROM yet because my phone is not recognized by Phone XS at all. so now I'd like to know wich EROM should I install and how to?

I tried to repared the EROM using GFlash but it got stuck like this:

I also tried to flash using Far, this is what i got:

The GFlash and FAR+SEFP are suitable only for DB2010 CID36 phones, but your phone is a DB2020 CID52. First try to repair the EROM with SETool2 Lite. Just follow the guide...

Either GFlahs and Far don't recognize my phone. Please try to guide me through using Setool because i don't feel i could do it right if i do it exactly like the tutorial says.

I tried with setoollitght but it doesn't work when i press the repair botton

What doesn't works exactly? Please be more specific.
When you connect the phone, press the 2+5 buttons istead of C...

I just tried to repaired it but it was not possible, this was the message:

What can i do now?

Phone's Dead and Redlight blinking | Sony Ericsson Flashing

Setool2lite doesn't recognize bootmode so it can't repair my EROM. I'm sad i think i'm gonna throw it away(dis fu$#$ phone!!!!)

Who knows an effective way to solve this?

had one with this, the only answer is to change the flash chip hardware bro, and put a blank one.. sorry

before trying a change of hardware i'll flash it using setool3box.

Very nice idea and post result please!

Try to update it to R8BE001
