thank you zlakto! you were right!! everything is back to normal...just as i bought it..thank you everyone else...the RnD mode made it look like there was a problem with the device...but now...its ok. Thank you very much.
but no thankx to the person who said i should use the factory reset button...you shouldnt say anything if you are not sure of it...you are killing the reason why a forum like this was built!
now i should be able to help others that come accross a similar problem.
What YOU did took it back to factory settings if you were able to re-flash both images.
Please do try to understand your device more.

Maybe we should put a big "DO NOT USE THIS" sign there?

this is normal. you're in R&D mode
run flasher with --disable-rd-mode and you should be fine
edit: whoops, sorry. i should know better than to skip down to quick reply and post my genius solutions when the problem's been resolved :/

@ abill_uk....pressing the restore button will by no means undo that error. It was just a mistaken step which i took from the nokia disscussion forums...
that person was very wrong to tell ppl to switch to r&d mode without remembering to tell them to switch back....
well we should put a big sign there saying "do not switch to r&d mode" for it is totally insignificant to your devices recovery...
cos really the phone just performed as if it was damaged..
well as for the information, i got it from the "flasher documentation" it is a link so you can click on it too. it contains commands for the hardware config.
and as for my warranty; i say again that my phone was ordered from th US. i am in east europe...it will take ages to send it forth and back.
thank you all, i should have joined this forum months ago.
