I tried to fix my slider by flashing it. All went well, until my dad's computer decites to freeze. I tried to power on the phone...Its dead! Then, I tried to flash another slider that was sitting around my house and the computer once again froze. The other slider wont power on eighter. Does anyone know how to make these phones power back on so I can finissh the flash?

Hi,

I was in the middle of transferring a picture from my computer to slider and with Bitpim. In the middle of transfer the phone powered off. I unplugged it and tried to power it back on and now I just have an hour glass. Did you ever figure out how to revive the slider? Anyone else have any suggestions to revive it??

Here's a solution for you but it'll take some real digging to get it done.

You'll need to locate the Service and Repair Center version of the KWPST. Essentially hook the phone up to the PC and provide the phone will maintain power for the duration of the operation you can push the software back to the phone. Personally if you are in the states I would wander down to Radioshack and have them send it away; a lot less hassle and depending on the tech you get it may or may not be covered. You can try your service provider as well, they may have the right version.

If you intend to try flashing phones again I would strongly recommend you start the process and walk away. I've seen it take up to 2 hours to flash a 7135 so what you perceived as a freeze may simply have been the process taking place.
