Hey Jim, battery came today, so i put it in the phone and managed to get the "download" menu to come on and stay on, flashed it with a firmware that you pointed me towards and hey presto the phone came on and kinda works. I say kinda becasue no matter what sim card i put in the phone it says "SP LOCK" and wants me to type some kind of code into the keypad. Any ideas on this new problem ? Ive read loads of tuts but nothing seems to work. Getting alot closer though and now the phone charges up thru usb, yayyyy. Thanks Jim, as usual your input would be of great help

. Even though you have done all the hard work for me. Any idea's Jim
