I don't want to bash anybody or any commerce, but Chinavasion only sells crap, I bought the Odessey and returned it, they don't want to refund your money and the worst it's that they claimed that th phone was all right. I bought another phone from them and it was the same thing, only that this time I took a video and posted it in Youtube under their section. That's when they said that yes, there was something wrong with the phone and that they would fix it. What ever you want to do with the phone, make sure you take a video of the problem before contacting them.
Now, to flash or do anything with the phone, you need a flash cable, drivers and a good flashing program, you can get all that here in the forum.
As of now I have from Chinavasion the Metro (it really sucks), the Beatle (camera stop working), and the one that I returned the Odessey (worst of all).
Good luck with your phone.
PS. If in any of my statement I broke any rule, I apologize. But the it's the truth and as I can see I'm not the only one with this type of experience with this company.
