Hi I'm a new user to flashing. I know that I shouldn't have messed with my phone in the first place, but I tried flashing it and my phone crashed, it's just a black screen. I can't go to menu or anything! Will some one please help me?

Try to start in bootloader (hold # and * while turning the phone on) and flash with a monsterpack

My V3 does the same, as in it only has a black screen, but I can't even power on in bootloader. As soon as I put in the battery the keypad stays lit and that's all I got. Can someone direct me to fixing this and getting the phone unlocked? Thanks in advance.

Does PST or RSD recognise the phone at all? What have you done to the phone to cause this?

Well I was following the unlocking guide to power up in bootloader, had 8.26 so I ran the downgrader. The process was going and after while paused so I closed it and reopened it, meanwhile the phone is still in bootloader. It power on in 8.26 again so I run the downgrader and this time it gets all the way to the any key to end part. I close the downgrader and open up the unlocker. It says it's done and the phone didn't reset on its own so I unplug the usb while it was still in the bootloader and boom!...nothing but black. I tried straight driving power to it without the battery but no dice. So that's what happened. Would really appreciate it if you can offer a solution. Thanks
Oh i managed to get a screen shot of what happens running the downgrader

With 7.D0 some people find that although they are in bootloader there is no display - does RSD Lite recongnise the phone?

Did you backup your phone using flashbackup?

YAY! I actually got it all fixed up. Reloaded software twice and boom!. Phone was unlocked, video feature unlocked and unbranded software.
