when I try to turn on my w850 there is a blinking white screen,
so I tried to flash the erom
The blinking white screen is usually a sign of corrupted MAIN firmware. So reflash the MAIN firmware. If it doesn't helps, reflash the phone completely(MAIN, FS and custom pack).
Re: W850 won t flash erom
the white blinking screen is usually due to wrong firmware. do a FULL flash with the CORRECT firmware. check that your using the right CID as your phone and check that you have the right firmware meant for yor phone.
Re: W850 won t flash erom
Thank you everyone!
I'll try to flash the main firmware.
In this case the blinking screen is not due to a wrong firmware because I've never flashed it before... A morning, when I tried to turn the phone on it suddenly started to blink. I'm not sure but, the day before I turned it off and when I plugged it in order to recharge the battery, I think there was an unusual wiht blink.
anyway, I'll try to flash the main firmware.
Re: W850 won t flash erom
Hi, I would like to flash the firmware but I'm not sure which file I should use (I'm in France)
Here are the files I found. Can I use any of these? (couldn't find the R1JE001 firmware as it is written on the status sreen I posted in the first message)
FS:
W850_R1ED001_FS_VFE_LIVE_1_RED49
W850_R1ED001_FS_EUROPE_1_RED49
W850_R1GB001_FS_EUROPE_1_RED51
W850_R1GB001_FS_FRANCE_RED51
W850_R1GB001_FS_S_E_EUROPE_RED51
W850_R1KG001_FS_EUROPE_4_RED52.fbn
Main:
W850_R1ED001_MAIN_GENERIC_EU-EMEA_RED49
W850_R1GB001_MAIN_GENERIC_RED51
W850_R1KG001_MAIN_GENERIC_CY_RED52.mbn
Re: W850 won t flash erom
Firstly you must know which CID do you got. You can know it by plugin your phone in flashers like JDFlasher, XS++, SETool2Lite. Then you must flash YOUR CID firmware (main) and it file system (FS). FS, in which there present word "Europe", must also contain French language.
Re: W850 won t flash erom
when I connect my phone with xs++ it says :
Connected phone w850 (DB2020 CID 52)
OTP CID: 51
EROM CID: 52
so, is my CID 52 or 51?

Your phone is CID52 and you use this files for flashing:
MAIN: W850_R1JE001_MAIN_VODAFONE_CY_RED52 and YES that MAIN you will find in download section - firmware - W850 CID52
Re: W850 won t flash erom
I tried to flash the main and FS( W850_R1KG001_MAIN_GENERIC_CY_RED52.mbn and W850_R1KG001_FS_EUROPE_2_RED52.fbn) but with xs++ it doesn't go further than the first step :
"Sending db2020_cid01_prodid_p3j.bin..."
(I tried to wait about 20 minutes)
so I tried with SE Tool 2 Lite, it seems to flash without problems but when I turn my phone on it's still blinking... and when I connect it with XS++ the firmware version line still says R1JE001.
I tried to flash the main with SE tool using the same firmware that's in my phone from the beginning (W850_R1EJ001_MAIN_VODAFONE_CY_RED52.mbn)
but when I turn the phone on the white blinking screen is still there.
is there something else I can try?
thanks.
Re: W850 won t flash erom
Why XS log shows you old Firmware? Because you didn't customized it for new one. Just try to flash with JDFlasher.
Re: W850 won t flash erom
show us the log please...
i reckon its because you only installed, main and FS. you need to download the cust file aswell.
Re: W850 won t flash erom
i think (W850_R1JE001_MAIN_GENERTIC_RED52) IS THE BEST ONE, CUZ THAT ONE IS THE ORGINAL ONE CAN BE FITS ANY

hey! i had the same problem. infact, it seems there are alot of people with this problem so it seems like it is a batch or desing fault with the w850i. i have tried to make a complaint with sony ericsson already...and what do you expect....no response.
anyway, firstly does your phone still operate sometime except you cant see anything or is it dead with a white screen? also check if the power button blink red when you try and turn the phone on.
but try flashing your phone from a clean scratch. that would be restoring your GDFS, new erom, main and fs file also. if that runs smoothly and you encounter no errors but you still get the white screen, it probably means you need to replace the top key pad. this i learnt from my friend "philsfog"...his the bomb.
good luck!
