Did you doing it with at least 3/4 battery left?
If yes, try it again.
If it still failed then probably you need to send for Nokia to reload the phone firmware.

Eulogy
Sorry for not able to help you to overcome your situation.
So far yours is the first "Nokia screen, then White screen" case that I aware off couldn't benefit from performing the "Full phone formatting" on a 6600 phone.

It will erase all data except the MMC card and return the device to factory setings.
