icon_razz.gif BIG THANKS to everyone how tried to help solving my problem.
I have follow advises and reflash my phone one more time (if somebody remember I had the same problem as teamhonda97 have, trying to restored original V205 firmware). This time I reflashed to V200 again (V20XEWC2.s3) and the phone let me do that. Now I got beck working phone! But this is V200. Another good thing my IMEI # is remain the same.
By the way:
Before reflashing keep phone with no battery for 1-2 hours.
Check data-cable connection and COM port
If you get an Error, Cancel, Reboot phone and try one more time
Just follow instructions on page 1 and insert SIM card after reflashing is completely finish (before setting up GSM band)
Good luck

I have found you just need to disconnect the battery for 10 secs...also make sure the phone is off and connected to the cable before opening optiflash icon_smile.gif

Hi v200 may be you can help me out? I’m looking for V20XEWF3.s3 and/or V20XEWE5.s3 English version firmware. Is there any place to download from? I flashed my V205 with V200-C2 Rom but it has really lousy picture resolution. Thanks in advance. icon_angel.gif

Seems like a ton of things can go wrong with the firmware upgrade. Is there anyone out there who still has unresolved issues concerning this firmware upgrade? I'm still willing to try if any of these unresolved issues aren't too major....Can anyone point me in the direction of the newest v200 firmware? Also, is there any pre-flashing advice, so to speak, would anyone like to give me? I'm living in Jamaica using C&W's 1900 mhz network.

hey teamhonday97. I use to have the same problem as you. the phone won't turn on. well i now know what's the problem is. If you follow Mr.Q thead on how to upgrade your firmware. He has the read addresses

0x00000000 - 0x00000617
0x00004000 - 0x00007a43
0x00010000 - 0x00567957
0x00700000 - 0x00cbd67f

to backup firmware. but that's not the correct address to back it up it's

0x00000000 - 0x00001fff
0x00004000 - 0x00ffffff

so if you try to flash your phoen with the backup file with Mr.Q read addresses your phone won't turn on. I got frustrated when the phoen didn't turn on so i went to the T-Mobile dealer and get it exchange. I gave them a lame excuse saying my phoen won't turn on after i left it to charge over night. hehe. but now i know the problem can be solve if you use a different flash file and not with the read addresses given by Mr.Q. He did have a great thread about Upgrading firmware though. thnx Q icon_biggrin.gif

icon_alien.gif I have exactly the same story, T-Mobile send me another phone now I have two. I will try to get firmware from that phone, but my original still works if I flashed with V200 firmware. So if I will send them that phone they will be able to figured out it was flashed. I don’t know what to do? icon_angel.gif

If you can't backup your V205 firmware something is not right and I would suggest that you get that fixed before trying to flash new firmware to your phone. Since something seems to be amiss getting someone elses V205 backup file will be of little value if you corrupt your phone and you can't successfully flash anything to it.

You should be able to do a successful backup and verify the backup before trying to flash new firmware to it.
