AHHHHHHHHH The Inevitable!

Hello there, I seem to have killed my phone by trying to update my firmware, heres how it happened;

i used SETool2 Lite to apply a firmware file - W850_R1ED001_MAIN_GENERIC_CY_RED52.mbn
to whic this was successful, phone turned on and i received a sim lock message saying 'insert correct sim' which had never happened before (it was unlocked to all networks) so i decided to patch it with a VFX file which didnt work :(

i thought the sensible way around this was to try and restore the original GDFS file (not a backup, i didnt create one :S) and it was another success but now the phone wont turn on at all.

I re-installed the firmware of RED52 as above and this was another sucess but it wont turn on, just a red flashing light on the power button!

The phone is a W850i, or was as the case is at the moment ;)

heres my SETools log

Go to service,because you damaged GDFS or if somebody of your friends have Setool3(or2) box(full) to repair that GDFS

so basically your saying i need to buy one of them boxes?

http://www.setool3-box.org/ that for instance?

surely there is easier way, and for free?

cheers

Yes,or just go to service center near by you

ahhhhhhhhh shoot, i was hoping i wouldnt have to pay out for a repair, there must be a cable and software way to perhaps repair the GDFS?

You can unlock for free your phone after you repair damaged GDFS. Use this tutorial for unlock Remove SIM-lock patch generator - Top Sony Forums ,because W850 are DB2020 and CID52 (yours phone)

yeah i patched the firmware with that program, but its useless at the moment because i dont have a phone that turns on!

hi the only way to fix imei missmatch on db2020 phones is with the dclint or buy test point with a se tool box sorry :(or if u have any gdfs back up at all from that phone both will fully unlock the phone after they have been done

charge your battery first though the screen might not show charging status, then try to flash. Atleast charge for 3 hrs.
