Problem with "C" procedure on W850i

Hi all

First post here and a bit of a noob when it comes to this stuff. Very new to it. Seems like you guys have a really good thing going here, informative and helpful! So I'm amped to join.

I have a W850i which I am trying to get going again. Classic symptoms of the White Screen of Death and only the vibratory response when ever you push the power button. Only way to switch it off is to remove the battery.

I've read the tutorial on XS++ and loaded the SEMC USB drivers (with much difficulty). Problem is nothing happens when I press and hold the c button after connecting the USB cable. XS++ times out and nothing happens.

I have had the phone apart and did note the the slider flex ribbon was worn and have ordered a replacement. Could this be the problem? Almost as though the communication is not getting through because of the flex ribbon?

Any help would be much appreciated.

Thanks

Dylan

OK, went and tried again as all my atempt were last night. It worked now, don't ask me why, but it did. I got the following log for XS++:

15:13:18| Baseband ID: 9900

I guess the question is, what firmware do I need now? Can you explain what you look for so that I know in the future.

Thanks again.

Dylan

I have the same W850i. I use SEtool2lt to flash the main, fs, and custom files. Seems to have flashed sucessfully but it is blinking red light and white screen when I on the phone. Any idea to get it working again?

I haven't gotten there yet so I couldn't help you. As I said above, I am very new to this all and still don't even know all the jargon. So I think you are a few steps ahead of me my friend! :D

Use these files:
W850_R1KG001_MAIN_GENERIC_CY_RED52
W850_R1KG001_FS_EUROPE_2_RED52 and as a a custom file
HB1-06_Gen_CDA102568_11_R5A_GENERIC_EUROPE_2

@lestari, post an identify log (without IMEI).

Dear Hyperion,

I do not wish for an Europe file but a Indonesian (id) language file.
I llash using SEtool2lt with these files:
W850_R1ed001_main_generic_cy_red49.mbn,
W850_R1ED001_FS_APAC_RED.fbn and
W850_CDA102677_98_R1A_GENERIC_Trade_ID_Indonesia
which are downloaded from this Topsony site


Attached is the log. Thanks.

Hi Hyperion17

Thanks for the reply, much appreciated. :)

I have a new problem now, I was busy flashing the phone and the battery ran out so it lost connection half way through. I tried to restore the backed up GDFS which it accepted but now it only connects when holding down the 2-5 buttons and then it seems to disconnect half way through the reading of the system information.

Can anyone shed somelight on this please? Has my beloved W850i gone to cellphone heaven?

We can't possibly know until you post an identify log from Setool.

@lestari, those files were for Dylan and "identify log" does not mean "flashing log".

Hi Dylan. Sorry for 'hijacking' your post. I thought you have resolved your problem. But we sure do have a common problem and hope you dont mind sharing.

Thanks hyperion17. I think I am in a different time zone and am slow to response. Here is the identity log and also the 're-flash' that I did today. Symtoms still the same-blinking red light and blinking white screen. it is weird. My phone is W850i but the identity say model K700. i note that there are many with this wrong identity in the forum.

Sorry about the long silence guys. Here is the log. I finally got SETool to work and its spat this out. I see I have an IMEI mismatch. Where do we go from here?

Thanks

You should restore your GDFS backup ( if you have one). The other option is to repair it with SeTool BOX(gsm service).
Or, find someone to port this patch:

to W850_R8BE001, flash with R8BE001 firmware and apply the patch.

Thanks Hyperion17

I reloaded my GDFS and then flashed the phone. It worked baring switching to a white screen when I applied pressure to the slider. Now when I trun it on it just flashes a white screen. Should I be reflashing it or is it a hardware issue?

Thanks

Dylan

You could have a faulty upper keypad circuit board and you need to replace the upper keypad.

I will have a look into it. Is there any way to test the existing one or is it pretty much a swop and check with new part procedure?

Thanks for all the help! :)

Dylan

I have a phone that is working! Yay! Thanks so much hyperion17, you da man dawg! :D Seriosly, thanks for the help, its much appreciated!
