Hello everyone,
i purchesed a new w950i a week ago - and all seemd fine.
this morning i installed some software on the phone, and uninstalled some too.
after turning off the phone, when i try to turn it back on, it starts booting, and half way threw it just turns off and starts to boot again - in an endless cicle untill i pull out the battery.
i tryed taking out the sim - no effect.
i tryed pluging it into the computer with the usb cable - but it dosn't get to the point that the computer recognizes the phone, since it dosn't finish rebooting.
is there some external refomat button somewhere on the phone that may help me? or any other suggestions? (i'm realy bumed about this...)
Thanks...
Aaron.

I'd try using SEUS, it maybe that though your phone wont boot, it might boot into flash mode, if you can connect it to the update service then simply overwrite the firmware with a new copy. You can do this even if there's not a new version for your phone.

If it wont get this far then you either have to take it to a SE service centre, or to a mobile specialist that advertises mobile repairs.

It sounds as though whatever you uninstalled deleted some of your system files in error - can you tell us what it was?

In case you didn't know, SEUS can be downloaded here:
