I haven't used my w900 for a few days now. the battery died thursday and i've only just got around to putting it on charge. I've turned it on and i get the message on sceen "Configuration error, please contact you network provide or service centre". It's an unbranded Voda handset so the Service centre is out of the question, and i'm using an orange 2g sim in it so the network provider is out of the question too!
Does anyone have any idea on what i can do? I've never flashed a phone myself and i'm not sure i wanna try. Ad the software is upto date as far as i'm aware.... Is there any sort of resest i can do? I cant even access the menus tho!?
Hope someone can help?
Cheers
Mr. B.

I'm not sure i bought it unbranded and unlocked you see!
I've tried taking the battery and sim out for a few hours but it made now difference...
And i've had the phone for a couple of months now debranded when i got it and i've had no problems before this!?

i ment, is anybody in the near u live who could manage it for u. maybe a member from here or a mobile shop... imo its really hard to say what happened, mostly the first step is to flash it.

Well there is solution for your problem. The configuration error appears to the phone when it's software is modified and then the phone is turned on without finalization. In you case, the battery ran out and the phone didn't turn off itself properly (something like the finalization) so it shows the configuration error. Even that error apears only when modifuing the software, it could be caused by not properly turning off the phone. So try a fitmware update via SEUS first. I think it should work as your phone software is not damaged or something, so it will be finalized after the update process and you can turn your phone on again
. If not try flashing the phone (but I think you'll need a service cable to do that).
Hope this helps.

cheers buddy i'll try the SEUS but i don't think it'll work because the software is up to date...
A reflash may be the only answer... But i just dont know how! Bums!

This happens quite a lot with the W900i when the phone is off for a prolonged amount of time - a re-flash via Da Vinci Team of Wotanserver will sort it out, the latter of which should only cost about £4.50 for a login.

Have you got a link to a tutorial for reflashing... i don't mind paying £4.50 but i need my phone up and running asap....
I've found the da vinci website and i've downloaded the client...
