My W850i has a white flashing screen? Help?

I was using my phone and decided i'll put a few more songs on my phone, as i connected it my screen went all white and started flashing black and white every few seconds. NOW, whenever i turn the phone on i feel it vibrate a second then just flash a white screen every so often then go black and repeat.

I have tried flashing numerous times on XS++ but it say

15:45:25| XS++ v3.1 (Darwin) Ready !

i have installed the nessary drivers aswell but still no luck.

Any Help Will Be Muchly Appreciated.

Thanks To Anyone Who Can Help!

have you the usbFlash driver?
do you know your CID? if it's 53 try to flash with FAR manager+jdflasher plugin,
your phone is w850 so try with A2uploader or search a payable service Wotan or D ultimat unlocker.
good luck.

Dont got the flashing screen, mine is just constantly white. So I hoped I could figure this one out by myself, but bugger no can do. I tried to follow some of the guides you guys made on the forum <- thx by the way, help is awesome, and still needed :P

You wrong !!!
Must see EROM CID, not OTP CID !!!

Must use these files:

W850_R1KG001_MAIN_GENERIC_CY_RED52
W850_R1KG001_FS_EUROPE_4_RED52
HB1-06_Gen_CDA102568_13_R5A_GENERIC_EUROPE_4

Thanks for the quick answer Senter :)...

I found the files you posted and now the flashing progress works - still no hope for the mobil though :(... Its still white and XS++ tells me when i connect the phone that its the old version! - a bit confusing :/.

As you can see the phone dosent seem to have the new firmwire even though the XS told me that the update was succesfull :P... dont get it.

Yet another time - a big THANKS for the help - and can you help me more!?

/Esben Frese

change LCD (screen), it is the only hope for you. flashing wouldn't help coz it's a hardware fault

I see.

Well that's a bit sad :P.

But thanks for the answer mate.

Have a nice day =) and thx for the help all.

Ohhh I'm not sure if I'm posting this correctly but I'm so lost with trying to fix my phone, Details below but have no idea what files to download or how to use them, Yes I'm fresh!
It's all for the white screen problem...

Start here : Flash your phone and How to apply or remove patch using SETool 2 Lite - Top Sony Forums
and use the following files;
K800_R8BF003_MAIN_GENERIC_WI_RED52
K800_R8BF003_FS_EUROPE_2_RED52
HB1-06_Gen_CDA102568_11_R6A_GENERIC_EUROPE_2
if this doesn;t help then it is probably a hardware fault i.e LCD damage, changing LCD will solve your problem

when I try and extract setool I get this error message?
