You could try taking the battery and sim out while its still switched on then replace the battery and turn it back on (a hard reboot) that fixes a lot of problems with mobile phones but not sure if it will fix this. And have you tried to master reset the phone again because this should fix it to, it should be in the settings menu.

Generally this would be perfectly safe to do on a mobile phone.

But doing this on a SE phone (mainly the early K800i's but not only that one) can actually cause more damage. SE phones have a tendancy to corrupt the EROM if the battery is taken out of the phone while its still on, causing the dreaded blinking red light.

Generally only happens on the earlier ones as theres been a fix out for a while now but just though I'd mention it for anyone reading this.
