W810 Phone Wont turn on!!

I bought a w810 phone a year ago, and 1 month after buying it, it just went dead ( beacuse I kept turning it on / off , to get better reception :( 3rd time, just stoped n won't turn on )... ..

Its been over a year, and I got a w300 phone, and decided to mess around with it and was able to successfully flash it and debrand it.
And I noticed someitmes,the phone won't turn on (during the process)
this got me to thinking... .. maybe something is wrong with the firmware on my w810 and not the hardware.

so I need help fixing it :P

The problem now is. When I plug in the phone to the charger I get a steady red light on the inferred. But when I plug in the phone to my computer, it doesn't light up and the computer doesn't find it :(.

What could be the problem? And is there a fix for it?

check battery if dead charge fully before u flash.

infrared light on ussually means a damaged EROM, update EROM with Wotan, it's free, then reflash the phone, read a bit more about updating EROM, maybe search for tutorial. You can also down the EROM from this site and load it with XS++ or SeTool.I recomend Wotan, many people did succesfully and also back-up your GDFS (XS++ or SeTool) it's important. Before doing anything read more.

EROM update via Wotan won't work since the phone is DB2020.

but isn't W810i DB2010? Anyway he can do it with SeTool.

PS: it is:

this is an older log from my W810i

Yes, W810i is DB2010, as your log sais.

Don't you need an service cable for updating erom??
That's what I thought

Sorry, I meant since Wotan only supports DB2020 EROM repair for free. My mistake ;)

I will try the EROM. I hope it works, I took it to 2 places to repair, n I didn't work ( cuz they thought something was wrong with the motherboard n tried replacing it ).

so even though the phone won't turn on or connect to pc its a software problem? ( only inferred turns on when plugged to powersupply/charger ).

Ill let u guys know my progress... ..

Now I need to find more info on EROM ( links would be useful )

** The problem is my computer is not even picking up the phone ( when u press "C" And connect ) It doesn't detect the phone :( is there Away to fix it still?? And I created An Account with the WotanClient... ..

How Am I suppose to flash it/ fix the EROM. when my computer doesn't even pick up the phone while holding "c".

only thing that happens is when I plug the phone to the charger, the inferred lights up :/ ( doesn't light up when connected to the computer :( )

Check to see if you dont have a hardware problem, pins of the charger way...Insert a fully charged baterry, on the phone, hold C for about 3 seconds and insert the USB cable. Repeat this procedure, until you will have a answer from the phone. Dont worry, i have a w810i with the same problem, like you, i have a damaged erom, damaged gdfs, with other imei, red led light blinking. I have flashed a new w810i erom with setool lite and is responding. Im trying to revive it, the biggest problem is that is a problem to find free programs to mess with this phone. Im using sekingserver software, is like wotan and the others, but there is a generally problem messing with DB2010...i will try to find a bether way until i will have to change the flash ic, i hope will not be necesarry.

I'm scare that w810i will be dead when it crash or turn off by itself.

I guess the battery is old like one year old, and it can drain quickly.

Dont worry, i have made a lot of tests to a w810i wich belongs to me and always you will have the chance to enter the phone in the flash mode. Is tested by me, if software will go off, always the hardware short cut, presing the C buton, will work.
The only problem will remain the software that is suporting a full repair of a DB2010...

just curious guys, what are the symptoms of a damaged GDFS, and how would a GDFS get damaged in the first place?

the symptoms of a damaged gdfs are: red blink, or, if flash is corupted, the error will be blank screen, if gdfs has other imei, the phone wont start, will remain on the startup of phone, if has a bad gdfs and erom, the phone will restart itself and will blink in red.

dont do like me, always backup your gdfs, is not a sugestion, it must be the first operation that any one will do on the phone. flashing with a bad gdfs or from another phone thats having other imei, will give a red blink, if the flash or erom is corupted, or the phone will not terminate the start procedure, from the graphic interface.

i have tried with seking server. the phone its ok now, is starting, but, is remaining on the "please wait" and nothing is to do with seking server. i heard that with setool 3 is posible to repair the imei from the phone, for free, only with the dongle. is the truth, is posible, you have to change the imei with the original one, and after a full repair of the gdfs and erom, the phone will work fine. im will buy the setool 3 only for this, to repair this phone, you may have to do the same, by now is the only way to repair a w810i phone.
