I have the exact same problem. The only difference is, I got it to start one time by removing the battery and all cards, for 10 minutes, then turning it on with just the battery. Haven't been able to get it on since. (The battery died and now it won't start up again) stuck on the dots forever.

When you plug it in from off does the phone go into a reboot loop? Mine does...or when you power off the phone from the 5 dots screen does the phone make a low tone as it switches off? Its not the low battery sound..

I think my phone memory is corrupt or something cos when I plugged it in to PC when it did boot I got all sorts of errors

I also bought my phone form US so bad news for warranty. Any other updates on this?

Edit: Oh and yes I also flashed Emmc, enabled R&D mode and did everything else that you did

Sad to hear you got the same problem.

When the dots are flashing, within few seconds I feel the touch vibration. When powering it off long pressing the power button in this state I get the sound like powering off normally long pressing the power button, i.e one single sound. About plugging into PC, I was able to reinstall the firmware via Nokia Software Updater after few tries and PC recognised my phone but I couldn't use the mass storage thing maybe because of the fact that we have to choose from the option in mobile to use it.

Latest update is that my device is now in the hands of Nokia Authorized Repair Center in Alabama, USA and even they are saying my device is out of warranty in repair status in their site as I still had few more days left for warranty and 'm having trouble getting in touch with them due to this 17 hrs time difference. I'm waiting for Tuesday morning to get more details and also know how much it costs to repair outside warranty and what I have to do to get my device back.

Hmm maybe my problem is different - I don't get the vibration when the dots are flashing. Mine is working to some extent now, but if my battery wastes then I have to reflash! - Everytime! Head wrecking!

I'm out of warranty but have insurance. Let me know how you get on, best of luck with it.
