Another thing i've noticed When i Format TFS it does it relatively fast .. only takes about 1 or 2 seconds.. And when i hit Erase it comes up with
'Flash sector information' FROM 000:0x00000000 TO 000:0x0000FFFF
There is a pull down menu with more locations e.g.
FROM TO
001: 0x0010000 001: 0x0001FFFF
002: 0x0020000 002: 0x0002FFFF
And so on. I just leave it at the default: FROM 000:0x0000000 TO 000:0x0000FFFF I've tryed other locations but it has the same results .. Haven't got enough patience or time to try all the combinations. But im sure that wouldn't cause any problems as it still erases the memory.
But still no luck trying to download firmware

Anybody got any ideas? I'm extremely frustrated, to the point of feeling disabled. I REALLY need a solution to this problem! If you got a solution or an idea that you think will work, reply to this post or E-Mail me directly at bigbastard3110@hotmail.com
cheers,

Nope... Thinking about just handing it into a mobile phone specialist shop and letting the professionals do the work... Probably cost an arm, leg, kidney and a lung. But at least i'll have a phone.
