OK so after trying to de-brand my k850i, I deleted a file when using A2 uploader.

i now get the error message
"configuration error, please contact your network operator or service centre"

it was a file out of tpa>preset>custom that got deleted

i took it to a shop and they told me i needed to try reflashing the MAIN, FS and custom files?

so where can i get these and in what order shall i upload them onto my phone. and to where

many thanks

No need to flash it manually upload it to tpa/preset/custom using file system tool in a2uploader....

do i just drag and drop it in?

Yes you have to drag and drop in it.....

If you want to debrand it, you should use GENERIC firmware:
K850_R1FA035_MAIN_GENERIC_SO_RED52
K850_R1FA035_FS_WESTERN-EUROPE_RED52 and as a custom pack
K850i_1201-0077_R11A_GENERIC_WESTERN-EUROPE
Read this tutorial:
http://www.topsony.com/forum/a2uploa...tml#post111079.
As you see, you can also flash custom pack if it's a winrar.zip archive and you put it to "MISC files"

You forget custompack ! Use these files:

1. K850_R1FA035_MAIN_CHINA_SO_RED52 (Downloads > Firmware > K850 > R1FA035_RED52)
2. K850_R1FA035_FS_APAC-ANZ_RED52 (Downloads > Firmware > K850 > R1FA035_RED52)
3. K850i_1201-0102_R11A_GENERIC_APAC-ANZ (Downloads > Custom Files > k850custpack)

Then make this:
