Impossible to kill your phone with flashing, as long you have good battery all will be fine.

phew.. good, but um like i asked before the battery charges even without a functional firmware installed right? cuz the screen or light goes on when charging.

PS: let me know when u get that file u said u were gonna upload, pm or just post here.

Ok i have the com client now. Where do i go to choose to flash the EROM? i just wanna know so when i get home i do it 123 without having to ask around again.

register and download it from

http://www.mobile-files.com/forum/showthread.php?t=4909

then open setool. configure com port, speed must be 115200

select the erom file in main firmware field, then press flash. Press the power button when asked to press it shortly.
Once done - paste the log here so i can see

If all ok flash as normal with davinci.

so now im at abit of a loss. i'll keep trying and charge the battery. Ironically from my last firmware try it went to 100/250 blocks so atleast i see a light go one when connected to a charger.
Any ideas on how to flash Erom?

haha dont listen to guy who just posted, he obviously is not to familair with the makeup of SEMC firmware. Soldering stuff lol

Well, i guess setool isnt working for you (cable com or os issue i think)

So give the davinci recovery file ago. Also see if you can get another battery from anothe phone or charge the bad one in it.
