W580 Red light, can I recover data?

[s_parasite]

My W580 crashed over the weekend. It was vibrating none stop with a blank screen, so I took out the battery. Now the phone won't start up and only the red light comes on when the battery is inserted. If I reflash the phone will my phone contacts still be there? Is there a way to recover the phone numbers from the phone??

Check out the REPAIRING EROM GUIDES for most sonyericsson phones guide.

If I reflash the phone will my phone contacts still be there?

Do not flash the FS, and the user data, including the contacts will remain.

I tried using the xs++3.1 erom repair guide. It said it was successful, but the phone still can't start up.

[simox]

Is there anything else I can do??

Yes, reflash the MAIN firmware too. But ONLY the MAIN.

[s_parasite]

simox,

I actually did re-flash the Main firmware with XS++ using W580_RED_CID52_R3B024_EROM-FOTA_2007-03-12_11.bin. But the phone is still red. Is there another file I used be using??

[philzfog]

try a diffrent battry should solve it if u have done the erom and maind fs do u se tool try to do a read out from there and let me know if it has a imei missmatch in the read out

I actually did re-flash the Main firmware with XS++ using W580_RED_CID52_R3B024_EROM-FOTA_2007-03-12_11.bin.

The W580_RED_CID52_R3B024_EROM-FOTA_2007-03-12_11.bin is the EROM and not the MAIN. Download a MAIN firmware for your phone (W580_R8BE001_MAIN_GENERIC_LA_RED52.mbn), and flash that too.

[s_parasite]

So using XS++ v3.1

Here's what I performed:

1) Flashed EROM (W580_RED_CID52_R3B024_EROM-FOTA_2007-03-12_11.bin)
2) Flashed Main (W580_R8BE001_MAIN_GENERIC_LA_RED52.mbn)
3) Also tried using a different battery, but I still get that damn red light and it won't start up. Am I doing this right??

Here's the log.

Hey buddy, looks like it was a coup which recivio the phone, this could aber damaged the ship flash, why not just turn on the lights and red LED, telephone contacts will not be able to recover, is an echo everything possible to repair it.
Besides your log is fine, but this tells us that the physical part in the ruling, it can not repair via software.

greetings.

[s_parasite]

So you mean, it can't be fixed to recover my contacts??
