My k850 has a different problem...total darkness....I have dealt with a BROD once with DaVinci, but now nothing works.

I was in the middle of a call when the phone just died. If I plug the charger in, the on button lights red, the battery gets charged (checked with multimeter) but will not turn on. With the DaVinci client, remove & replace battery, plugging in while holding C, or holding 2 & 5, nothing happens.

Any suggestions? Has this fault got an acronym I don't know? No Ring Of Death, Death?

Hello!
I am still afraid of upgrading to R1F but I have 1 credit left in KK account,I don't remember if 1 credit is sufficient to fully flash the phone(just in case it Broded again),so if a user of KK can just say yes or no...

Sounds similar to the eprom issue on K800. Maybe DAVINCI can update that first - and free? I dont think you need to do the whole "c" thing for that - but im not sure...

1 credit left? Sure you can use that to flash your phone again. Just 1 credit for a full flash.

Here is my frustrating BROD experience:

Used SUES to upgrade to 31 and everything was fine. One day I let my battery drain til the phone died. Plugged it in and let it charge for a few hours, came back and it was BROD.

Did some research. Found out about KulanKendi. Bought credits and flashed. Now the phone is completely dead. Not even the BROD....just lifeless. Kept trying to reflash with KK. No luck. Wasted credits.

Not wanting to pay SE $100 to fix it I wait a few weeks and decide to try Davinci. Bought credits. It recognizes the phone, flashes it with correct FW and says "Success!". Phone still dead. Wasted credits.

Bite the bullet and have just sent it in to a repair shop recommended by SE. $100 bucks gone....plus the $30 I wasted on KK and Davinci and $6 more on shipping.

IF it comes back working, I am sure they will put 31 back on and I fear it will just BROD again. But since I have not had any luck with reflashing, Im scared to even try to put 37 or 38 on.

If it BRODs again, I am going to demand a new phone or else give my lawyer a call. Their customers should not have to deal with all of this bullsh*t because they release a buggy FW as "stable".

I am a loyal customer of KulanKendi. No problem at all with their server. If a phone is still dead after flashing, it may be a hardware failure.
