Retrieve data from a BROD K850i

[ttcw]

Hey guys, in need of some technical help here. As the title states, I'm having a BROD on my sony ericsson K850i.
I want to retrieve my contacts and all the possible txt messages from the phone as it is important to me.
So are there any software or any techniques i can have my hands on to do the trick?
The phone would not turn on and not connecting to my pc. However my pc detects the phone just would not turn over.
Any help or direction will be very much appreciated.
Cheers guys.

It is possible to backup the file system via A2Uploader. You can download the file from internet. Download and extract the files. Then click on start and run. In the box type %abcfolderr%\USBFlash_driver\dpinst.exe. After that click on start > run > \%any_folder%\a2uploader. In that click on filesystemtool. Connect your phone and then check back again.

where do I input this? %abcfolderr%\USBFlash_driver\dpinst.exe
I ran the program, connect my phone, clicked on system tools but it appear as..
Can't load ID loader !
PROCEDURE WAS STOPPED BY USER
Elapsed:76 secs.
New to this program so a step by step could be very helpful.

After clicking on a start you have to choose run and once you click on run then you will get one new small window at the left hand side bottom within that you will get one text box there you have to put this %abcfolderr%\USBFlash_driver\dpinst.exe.

The phone seemed not to be connecting after I clicked on File System Tools.
I hold onto C, insert the USB and it stays like this in the pic below. Not advancing anywhere..

it keeps going and going and seemed to have no end. what should I do?

Follow the below steps properly:

1. extract archive of the a2uploader to any folder
2. run %any_folder%\USBFlash_driver\dpinst.exe
3. usbflash drivers are installed now
4. run\%any_folder%\a2uploader
5. press filesystemtool
6. connect turned off A2 phone to usb cable while holding "2+5" (it is more simple)
7. do whatever you want and can with filesystem

With the above tips you can flash your phone and reboot it from the dead.
