Problem with GDFS backup on K550i

I have a K550i I wanted to backup using XS++, I tried ver 3.1 and 3.2 but ran into this problem:

Any ideas? I'm completely new to this, I simply wanted to try out the new firmware and I read that doing a GDFS backup is how I can go back to the original firmware I got the phone with. I looked up that IMEI:NULL GDFS:K550 message, found that I need to be CID52 or 53 but when I use SEUS, It says I already have the latest version, but I run it anyways but still reads as CID51

No, your phone is cid53 and xs++ or setool lite doesn`t support it. Only xs++ 4.1 beta supports cid53 , but it`s only for linux.

You can use Flashing with jdflasher - Top Sony Forums for flashing.


Have a nice day

What I really want is to put new camera drivers on. Does this mean I wont be able too? I'm not afraid of Linux, so I can get the beta, but will that allow me to update the camera drivers?

And looking around for information the the latest firmware available for the K550i, the generic just seems to offer an update to java, but what about the t-mobile version? I am a t-mobile customer, but in the US, is this one only for t-mobile in Europe?

Well I can say using virtualbox is a good way to try xs++ 4.1 beta without having a whole separate linux install. Anyways I tried it out but ran into another problem when using the read gdfs function to backup my phone.

No idea as to whats going on. The phone does still work so I know nothing has happened to it yet.

It`s still beta, so many things don`t work ,yet.

Have a nice day
