Wotan Flash Failed

Ok, that looks like there's a problem with the phone itself. I never had a W580 and don't know what the red light indicates.
Could you download XS++ and/or SE Tool lite and post the logs when you just identify the phone? Maybe that'll bring a bit more light into the dark that we're in right now ;)
Since your doing nothing with XS/SET but identifying the phone you don't need to be worried about doing something wrong

Do you know what happened to the phone? Could you contact the one that you've got it from?

ok.. I will try SE Tool lite... have read in the forums it's a bit more noob-friendly than XS. Thanks!

I don't think it's more noob-friendly. XS++ is pretty self-explanatory wheras SE Tool lite could confuse you.

Now I am confused... I guess it all depends on who you talk to...because all kinds of ppl posted probs w XS.. but I guess anything can go wrong w either program, if you don't follow the instructions carefully.

The latest chapter in my phone saga is that I tried w Wotan 1 last time.. and though I left the logs on my home computer, so I cant post them till tonight..it found my phone and verified the flash header this time... It started writing flash blocks... got to around 46 blocks the 1st time .. and WINDOWS gve me the dreaded "Wotan has encountered an error and must shut down"..so I figure : "well.. the phones already bricked... let me reboot and retry". This time it got to around 94 blocks and toasted out.

End result : I figure : there's a 7 day satisfaction guarantee from the seller.. so I am sending the darn thing back today. Stoopid phone :)

Thank you for all the good advice.. she is going to replace rather than refund.. if she has one in stock... so I may yet use XS to debrand and cross my fingers!!
