I too have the exact same problem as you but i do not even get a vibrate all i get is the keys lighting up and the removal of the battery necessary to turn the phone off.

May i ask who is the provider of the phone and when you purchased it, because from what i have read no one else seems to be having this problem...so maybe a change in the software version of SEUS or firmwares etc... maybe causing this.

Try re-updating it.

If the user's problem is anything like mine he wont be able to update it as the phone is not recognised bySEUS it fails at the identification stage of the update.

You could try Davinci or XS++

Maybe they will recognise it and unbrick it. Otherwise your only hope is to visit a service center to get it re-flashed.

[EDIT] You might wanna check your USB ports - IE try using a different one

Well i got it flashing now......

Not too sure how to be honest... but now im using davinci..

Im flashing using the dcu-65 cable.

After using the dcu-60 cable and plugged my dcu-65 cable in with the phone turned on and it found and installed the drivers.

Its flashing as i type this...

UPDATE!!!

Well my phone is up and running!!!!

Once i got my pc recognising my phone i used davinci to flash my phone....but beware first i flashed in windows vista and it hung half way through...luckily though i had a xp pc and flashed it again and luckily for me it worked!!!!

If you have any questions fire them at me and ill try and help you out and tell you in detail what i did.

Cheers

fingers crossed this is the solution
