well i flashed my s500i sony ericsson to w850i and it worked out great. So i tryd to test my luck and go for W880 ; but it failed so I went back to the original s500i software .
Now the real problem started to occur once finished flashing (to S500i) i only got a black screen and the vibrating buzz when you normal boot on my phone and after that no logo no lights no sound nothing . I tried almost everything : the official se-updator and the JDflasher in far manager
did i make my phone go fubar or is it still usable
thanx in advance

flashing to w880 is not a good thing to do ... anyways , if u have the gdfs backup , u should be able to flash and restore ur fone ... pl note that u need to flash both main and FS
