    Might be that the firmware's become corrupted. You might be able to flash a new firmware, but doing that wrong could severely !!!! up your phone, so for peace of mind you might be better paying someone to flash it for you.
    They say it's genetic, they say he can't help it, they say you can catch it - but sometimes you're born with it

    use SEUS to upgrade the firmware on the phone if its still in warranty(link)

    or if that doesnt work, try using my debranding guide here. beware that if you flash the filesytem, you will loose all the files stored on the phones internal memory but you will not loose the files on the memory card if you remove it from the phone
  • i tried the seus but the update sticks at 95%
    i think i will have to take it to the shop as your guide is way out of my league!
    mmmm free stufffffffff :p
