Can anyone clearly in layman's language tell me what is GDFS file?
How do you get to know that GDFS file is corrupted or is damaged?
If after flashing the phone is getting on, does it mean that GDFS is safe?
After flashing your phone to a new firmware does the GDFS file remains the same or it gets changed?:confused:
First of all read this: SonyEricsson Hardware and Firmware Definitions!Quote:

Well, there are several symptoms. For e.g. after flashed the phone and turned on it is stuck at please wait screen. And if you mod your phone, the first thing is to make a GDFS backup.Quote:

In this case, most probably the GDFS is OK.Quote:

The GDFS will remain, because you flash the MAIN, FS and not the GDFS.Quote:

If it is so then why does GDFS get effected while flashing Main or FS? I mean sometimes it gets damged while flashing?
That is another story. Flashing tools access the GDFS too when flashing the phone, and if some things goes wrong then the GDFS can be damaged.
Thank you! One last thing I flashed my K790i to K818. Everything went ok but now it shows no network coverage! Could u please help me regarding this. I wonder whether my GDFS is damaged? I havn't done any backup?
Connect your phone to xs++ and copy your phones log here without IMEI number and we will see.
If you want fix this, flash back with firmware for K790 ( full flash )
Nice day
Okie.. and many thanks for your reply!
Are the FS,main and custom files region specific to operate or Language specific? Why do most of the phones show 'No Network coverage or Inactive sim ' after flashing. Is that anyhow something to do with these files????
most probably, you have selected wrong cusomization.
Does anybody know which is the customization file for my Sony K790i INDIA in english???:confused:
Just look for it in the downloas section. what main anf Fs file are you using?...match it up to the same custom file in the download area. Also, why dont you just use the customise file in XS++? Also i think its not he custome files, cause if it were custome files your phone would say "conatct service provider" or something to that sort. Connection error or inactive siem is usually cause of mis matching of main and FS file, GDFS corrupt or (but unlikely) physical phone fault.
