Hi Eveyone

Help needed please.

I came by an XDA Orbit that refuses to work. The symptoms are as follows:

1. When power button is pressed to turn it on the 02 Splash screen comes on for about 3 seconds then some red writing flashes up on the top left of the screen. The phone then turns off. No matter what I do it always does this. Once I have been through this sequence once it won't turn on at all. The only way I can get it to work is to take the battery out for about 30 seconds and re-insert but it never gets passed the splash screen.

2. I can get it to go in to the boot loader mode (multi coloured screen) and if connected to my PC will show USB in the bottom right hand corner of the screen. However Activesync will not recognise it and I therefore can't upgrade the ROM to try and fix it.

3. I have tried to flash the rom from SDHC card but nothing happens

Anybody got any ideas or is it screwed?

Thanks for your help
:(

So if you can't flash from a SDHC card how are you supposed to do it?

Is there any other way I can flash the XDA orbit or get it tom connect to my computer so I can flash it

Any help would be much appreciated


Thanks
