K610I: How to remove blinking white screen (WSOD?)

Phone was ok, I switch off, morning turn on, get white blinking screen!

XS++ gives log below:

Tried SEUS, got phone update to K610 APAC CDA102805/102, but blinking stays.


Please help, what must I do to remove this white blinking screen. Thanks in advance. You can email me at goldenplug@hotmail.com

k700 is a hard were falut how did it stop working

Sorry but I don't seem to get you; are you suggesting hardware fault with the LCD or I ought to change GDFS K700 to K610I. If it is the latter kindly advise how to change the GDFS.

My phone was bought brand new, it was never serviced, and was working fine until this blinking. I then update phone with SEUS, I am still wondering how GDFS becomes K700, was it before or after the update and if it was after, then can GDFS K700 be the fault as the phone was down before the update? Never the less I would still want to change GDFS to K610I and see what happens. Please advise. Thanks.

dont change the gdfs on it or u will kill it do a full reflash with jd flasher thats the only tool that surports cid 53 phones then post a log up from se tool if it hasnt worked

I got the JDflasher and have installed the USB Flash drivers; thing is I am completely new to this, how to do a full reflash? Do I go into OFLASH, and where do I get the necessary files (firmware for the K610I). I am relying on the instructions in "http://www.akshayy.com/sonyericsson/tutorials/jdflasher-flashingcustomization-tutorial/". Is it good enough?

Please advise. Thanks in advance.

that would be good enough to full reflash

OFlash in JDFlasher prompts for K610 firmware, though my K610I has been upgraded to CID53 by SEUS but I couldn't find any K610 firmware with CID53 in 4Shared, is it alright if I use the CID52 firmware? That is: K610_R1KG001_MAIN_GENERIC_TH_RED52.mbn and K610_R1KG001_FS_EUROPE_2_RED52.fbn.

Thanks in advance

OK here's what happens inside JDFlasher. Got into Oflash, followed the following steps:

"Oflash - Flashing for Firmware/Debranding/flashing vkp etc.
1.Start JDflasher.
2.Connect phone to JDFlasher as said above.
3.Enter Oflash mode.
4.At right side, navigate to firmware location on computer.
5.Select firmware at the right side.
(I select the file 'K610_R1KG001_MAIN_GENERIC_TH_RED52.mbn')
6.Press F5.
7.Click ‘Copy’.
8.Ensure the option flash ‘as babe image' is selected. (babe for firmwares, mbn, fbn)
9.Click ‘Yeah Flash it’.
10.Wait for flashing of all blocks to complete. '

Steps 1 to 8 successfully done. But on Step 9, got this error message:
"PutFiles(putfile(putfile_flash(flashbabe(header(s end header error 19)))))".

What happens?

u carnt use cid 52 files on a cid 53 phone u will have to flash it with with cid 53 files

Hi Mr Philzfog, many thanks for all your great help! Indeed JD Flasher is fantastic, I only need to flash in the CID53 main file and the phone works! Thanks again Philzfog. :)

Problem solved. Thanks everyone. CLOSED THREAD.
