    W850i White Screen Flash

    Ok so I seem to have the dreaded white screen flash on my W850 and happened when I connected my phone to my computer for a simple file transfer, selected the file transfer screen, phone rebooted as normal, but then didn't start the file transfer mode and simply the screen began flashing white.

    Does anyone know of a known or easy method of fixing it as it seems to be a common problem, but doesn't seem to be any set method for actually fixing it, and I assume it involves flashing the firmware (but have never done anything like that before).

    I tried updating via SEUS (and it went through ok), but it didn't fix anything, screen still flashes white when turned on, I assume the fact it through ok though means the phone isn't completely screwed and should still be fixable?

    From my service experience this mit be a software fault.Try full flash.if fails.,try changing the display strip(comes with front keypad,loud speaker,mmc slot)

    Re: W850i White Screen Flash

    Hey! Has anyone managed to resolve this problem?
    I got this problem too a while ago, the phone was working well but after I woke up in the morning the phone was flashing white every 5 secs, and the same thing happened if I removed the battery and restarted the phone.

    I have tried to repair it by flashing main + fs + customization with XS++ and restore my gdfs backup, but I rather think itīs a hardware problem, do you have any ideas of how to tackle this problem?

    Exclamation Re: W850i White Screen Flash

    I discovered an interesting thing, the Firmware Version, region customization and more is resetting itself after a flashing, why is that happening?

    Flashing main, fs and customize
