K510i Dead
I have sony erricson K510i from vodafone which i tired debranding but i think something horribly went wrong and the phone is dead, it doesn't turn on and when i try charging it a red light blinks in the power on button (at the top of the phone).
I am total novice that why i guess i made a mess of the phone. is there anyone who can guide me through the process of getting my phone working again?
any help would be greatly appreciated.
Thank you in advance.

This happened to me when I hit cancel on XS++. Using either SETool Lite v1.11 or XS++ press the "Identify" button and follow the instructions. Once the software Identifies the phone, unplub the USB cable, remove the battery and re-instert the battery. Try turning it on, it should turn on. For me this flashing red light killed the battery so I had the recharge it.

Try at least to explain the firmware and software was you using.
If you have got the right firmware (main + fs) just need to reflash again and customize.
-
i will get back with the particulars of the the phone.
but i had a question how do i know the battery is getting charged?
ok i tired connecting the phone with XS++ v.3.1. but it doesnt seem to detect the phone. what should i do?
-
I suggest you use setool2lite ver1.8.
Before any work choose phone model then just add main (same by fs) then click flash.
I think setool2lite can solve problem.
-
can you please tell me from where can i download setool2lite v1.8 or if you could please provide with a link that would be grateful.

your battery or erom is dead try charging the phone if that doesn't work, then try repairing you erom guide here

ok i tired the xs++ guide, downloaded the usb drivers, but xs++ doesn't seem to detect my phone. what to do now?
also as i had asked earlier, how do i know that my phone is charging when i connect it to the charger?
-
try the setool2 or wotan method which involves connecting the phone holding down 2+5 not C,
if the phone is charging then the charging screen should come up.
-
see thats the problem, when i connect the phone to the charger the only thing that comes is the red light at the power on button and nothing else. the screen doesn't light up.

ok got the idea that my erom is dead. now can you please tell me is there anyway that i can fix it myself using a standard usb cable and the relevant software, firmware etc?
-
I'n not so sure that the problem is the erom, maybe, but we need first of all a charged battery and cleaned contacts on mobile
-
i put the phone on charge for 3 hrs. then i tired connecting it to both xs++ and setool but none recognised it. wat to do?
-
Well, your battery could still be the problem since you were not able to charge it with your phone.
Try to recharge it in another phone so you can be 100% sure that the battery is full.
-
As wrote @justme, you need a charged battery, if there is a mess just in the firmware (not in erom) you are not able to charge the battery, moreover if the battery is completely dead, we are talking about mobile problem instead could be just a battery problem (once happen to me to get a red fixed light and was just the battery), and second I suggest to clean the contact to improve the comm and also the charge.
This is the first step to start undestanding what problem we are talking about
