Some xtra info regarding "master reset": If you have used the "quick access patch" and do a major reset your fone won't boot up because that patch messes up the main part of the fw. All that's needed is to re-flash the original fw again and bob's ur uncle. If u've never used this patch and you do a major master reset, it's supposed to reload the firmware from scratch, set factory defaults and u'll lose all info that was on the fone. If the fone doesn't boot up at all or red lights blinking, than it can only be a gdfs/erom error, in which case it's serious.

Well if its serious, what can i do to fix it? Can i not use wotan to fix it like everybody has suggested, since some people have had this and fixed it using wotan but wont work for me. And the problem only occured to me before, i was connecting my phone to the USB part via the cable, and it didnt recognize it because it didnt make the sound and didnt show up in my computer, and i click file transfer on the phone when you plug the cable in. And then i unplugged the USB and moved to a different port to see if it worked and all of a sudden my phone turned off.

If you got WSOD (white screen of death)
1. Download wotanclient
2. Clear the login settings
3. When you are connecting your phone press and hold 2+5
4. Press Start button
5. It will now upgrade your EROM
6. Finished
you can find the wotanclient

Ok so i've tried the steps with the wotan client and everything. I have the same problem as the rest of the people here.
It happened when i took my sim card out and then tried to turn it on. It just wouldn't turn on anymore and i was choked because i love this damn phone. K800i i mean.
So i keep trying to turn it on and the infra-red light flashes a few times and thats it. I am at the point where i want to call Sony Ericsson and get them to help me fix this stupid problem. If they can't and i have to pay close to a 100 bucks to get this thing fixed, not worth it imo.
That's a shame because if i can fix it myself, i would and i am trying to. But it just isn't happening for me. It's frustrating.
