i got a white screen that says "reload software: 507"
but its frozen and cant connect to desktop manager. cant even turn it off, same screen appears after a battery pull. is this thing dead or is it going to pull through? its an 8900.

don't think that will work for me, i'm on a mac not a windows machine. sounds like i'll need to borrow a pc or get a new phone.

Borrowing a PC would be cheaper... But there is a Desktop Manager for Mac. Try this one:

Great! No need to panic; most of this stuff is fixable. Welcome back.
