Please help!! W600i May have wrong GDFS?

Gigman:
thanks for the reply.

its like the Concord Fallacy at this point but I'm determined to get my phone back.

I may even buy a few other bricked w600i off ebay if mine doesn't work just to see.

I actually made progress at one point by just flashing the mbn file using setool2.

It booted again and got me back to the WSOD. Unfortunately that is just back to where I was. I was hoping to actually get rid of the white screen so I could read sms and not manual dial anymore.

But now I'm back to a brick. I think part of my problem at this point may be that I have a very old or weak battery.

In the bricked stage I think the battery won't charge long enough. Either that or I've worn out the cables.
The red light will only come on for about 5 minutes and then it will not come back on until I try a partial flash and drain it again.

Finally, figured out that dragging .mbn file to ssw2rest.exe was actually creating the rest file (without .rest at the end) in my c:/documents and settings/username/ directory...

Maybe now I can full flash using
W600_R7CA017_MAIN-FS-CUSTOM.rar including:

.mbn, .fbn, .zip, and (.rest I created)

Never tried that.

However, i'm worried because I've never been successful with any of the programs to backup my GDFS. It always just goes on until my phone is drained.


Edit:

I can get back to the WSOD by using XS++ to flash only the firmware and filesystem and custom pack selecting a region

it says flashed firmware main and filesystem success and success the CS-loader has been unlocked but then during fs customization it seems to hang forever on activating filesystem...
finally i give up and stop it.
but it hangs on activating the filesystem
