Hey, I flashed my phone with this method, but it stopped half way through (usb dropped out) and everytime since Its not allowing it to complete, same thing happens each time.

Anyone have any fix for this? The phone had been left on charge for a few hours? or is my phone completely damaged? It doesnt come up with a white screen anymore! :|

Give it another try with XS++ 2.2 and be patient.
If you don't succeed, use SETool2 Lite 1.08.
I'm sure it can be done!

Good luck!

I've done some research about SE W550 vs. XS++ 2.2 issue and my answer to you is like this.
Both SETool2Lite and XS++ are great programs for flashing SE mobile phones, but there is one catch: SETool2Lite is the freeware version of the same unofficial but commercial software (the best in this branch), while XS++ is a software developed with help from the guy who wrote SETool2.
For the moment, it seems that XS++ has a thing against SE W550.

Conclusion:
You want to bring your phone back to life and to be sure about its performance, it would be a good ideea to reflash your W550 MAIN, FS and CDA files with SETool2 Lite 1.08.

I'm sure that SETool2 Lite 1.08 will solve your problem.

GOOD LUCK!

- turn off the phone, remove and reinsert the battery
- open SETool2Lite 1.08, select Phone Type: W550 and press IDETIFY button
- hold the "C" key and connect the USB cable
- in FILES section load the following files (as a given example):
- W550_R4CB020_MAIN_GENERIC_EL_RED49
- W550_R4CB020_FS_EUROPE_1_RED49
- in MISC FILES section load the following file: W550_CDA102426_9_R2A_Generic_EUROPE_1
- now press FLASH button and waith to complete the operation

The latest firmware for W550 CID49 is R4CB020.
Just one question: are you sure that you use the right USB cable?
Keep me posted about your progress!

GOOD LUCK!
Be Well!

if you have the flashing white screen then you need to reflash your firmware, both the main and the FS i think. there are loads of guides on how to do this using xs++ V3 and Setool2 Lite.
