Firmware:R4AB048
so, this is the first time i try to flash a w550i, hope everything will be ok. i guess your w550 is CID 49 then it should work similar to the w810 flashing. HERE is the FS and Custom files. you also need FAR Manager, download it from HERE
First unrar everything and read THIStutorial
Ill' try to guide you too.
Remove SIM.
Run Phone XS, press START and and connect W550i to your pc using included cable DCU-60. Phone must be closed and "C" button pressed untill the software detects the phone and shows on screen informations about it.. (If phone not detected, instal SEUS the official updater and things shoud go fine)
Go to flash, check MAIN and select file: w550_r2e_dcu.49r.ssw and press flash
When writing procedure ends, close the software aplication, disconect the phone from computer and remove battery for ~5 seconds.
Open again Phone XS, go to flash, check FS and select your FS (W550_R4CB020_FS_EU4.bin) then press "Flash"
Again, when writing procedure ends, close the software aplication, disconect the phone from computer and remove battery for ~5 seconds.
Run FAR Manager and press Alt+F1 and select SEFP
Conection type select: DCU-60 (USB), Speed 921600, At script chose: w550_w600_cid49 and press "enter the matrix".
You now have 60 seconds (with your phone closed to hold "C" key pressed and conect the phone to pc (same procedure as for PhoneXS)
After it passed loaders (~10 seconds), select FS (do not select flash or it will stop) and WAIT for sub-folder to appear on screen. When this happens, proced to customization:
in the custom files folder (tpa/preset/custom) are those files. go to the same folder in the phone (when connected with FAR, tpa.preset/custom) on the left
side of FAR and copy the files
Go to "..." to come back to main folders untill a window shows and ask you if you want to close the loaders. Select YES (selecting NO will result in no savings and work shoud be repeated from the begining).
Close Far Manager, disconect the phone from computer and remove batery for ~5 seconds.
Start Phone XS again, go to flash, check MAIN and select file W550_R4CB020_MAIN_EU_EMEA.bin and press "Flash".
After the procedure finish close the aplication, disconnect phone from cable, remove batery for about 5 seconds.
Insert SIM in phone, start the phone and wait for about 2-3 minutes for the phone to auto configure (it should write please wait on screen)
I really hope it will work, please reply when finished. if you don't succeed, hopefully you will, go to a service center. DON'T experiment other things (with GDFS, EROM ...) cuz you could kill the phone.
does the above procedure work with a w550i cid49 brown
first you need to convert the phone from BROWN to RED, red firmware don't work on brown phones. search in tutorials cuz there is a descrition on how to convert.
DOH the first MAIN firmware update didn't work(tryed with both xs++ and phoneXS 2.10 alpha 6), it stuck at 3/5 flashblocks. I guess there is nothing more i could do?
i read now on another topic that XS++ and Phone XS 2.10 don't work with W550i and that Phone XS 2.01 does, i don't know if thats correct, but you could try it, HEREis the link to it. I really hope it will work, don't use the computer for anything else and close the progs that might use the computer resources, charge the battery and give it another go. if it doesn't work, than go to service, the phone is not dead, it needs just a reflash, they will do it with a service cable.
It's the same it's stuck at 3/5. Is the SE service free?
if your phone is under waranty it must be free, if not than it's not free, but a reflashing is not expensive. could you describe what did you do? did the phone get recognized by phone xs? what did it say? can you make some print screens about that? it's odd that it got stuck, maybe the brake in loader is corupt.
SEUS, at about 94%, how you say, - is starting to configure your phone - how much did you wait? some 10minutes should be good. ;)
In all ver of XS it starts and goes to 3/5 and then its stuck.
