GDFS Problem for my W810i

hi everyone, I am not new to the cellphone world but am pretty unexperienced when it comes to programming and flashing my phone, so my problem is that I tried to flash my phone with a new firmware because it started blinking a white screen (which I think is called the "the white screen of death") and went and read alot of forums on how to do it so I did it once and it was a success and I got my phone back, but it was an old firmware so then I installed a patch for fast seeking and then it got corrupt again so I started flashing it again but this time the bruteforcing process didn't work, like it took more than a full 24 hours and it still didn't do anything which I read it should take not more than 5 hours max, so without knowing I accidently wrote over my GDFS with one i downloaded thinking it would fix it but when I did it, it bruteforced okay but then I realized it didn't configure so I went and read that I turned my phone into a brick. so now I want to know if theres anyway that I could fix this without paying $100-150 for a box which I wont ever use after this or paying for credit on wotanclient and davinci team and getting errors which people have, I just want to know a method thats free or atleast within a reasonable amount of money. thank you

Which tool you used for flashing and which firmware version you tried to flash???
Try connecting it using XS++...

hizzzzzzzzzz

rattlesnake

I used XS++ and also PhoneXS and the last firmware I used was W810i R4EK001 CID49, connect it to XS++ then what should I do and also I never took a backup of my GDFS (I know I'm an idoit)

have u got a gdfs back-up???
if u havn't u will need a service-cable and semc tool 8.4 cracked,
the service cable will cost a small amount of money but semc tool 8.4 cracked is free

@number1
how one can repair GDFS i have read in forums that if its once damaged only box can flash it back to life .........

can you elaborate the procedure

U Have 2 Use Setool Light Prog 2 Flash It And In 1 Step U Have To Made Unlock And Repair In Order 2made Some Order In Phone Then Use Flash Main 2 Flash It

U CAN READ MORE HERE

B R GSM KADIRI

so if u get the service cable the program won't give the "Protection card error" anymore? and heres a link for a cable is it the right one? Sony Ericsson Cruiser Cable: Sony Ericsson Multiserver cable
Does getting the service cable and the program, reformat the GDFS? what does it do?
Adreane I dont get the last procedure (And In 1 Step U Have To Made Unlock And Repair In Order 2made Some Order In Phone Then Use Flash Main 2 Flash It )

thats the correct cable, u need a working w810i gdfs to use a as a template theres 1 in the download section, u can use GDFSEdit - SE-NSE Forums to edit the CDA etc to match ur phone,
then u need SEMC 8.4 cracked also in download section it's a cracked there for free version, then u use this to write ur oringal old imei number which u can find on the side of the box the phone came in or old setool logs, now u use semc to flash and write in ur imei number to the new gdfs then do a full flash and ur phone should work

use setool i think u can repair it with setool

hey thanks for the info number1, and i know its been awhile now since I've checked back and no one has gave me any other information but I still haven't gotten the Service Cable yet, soon I will but if there is any other way thats easy and less costly can u tell me thanks I'll check back soon

did you back up the GDFS when you got your phone?

yes you can if you use from setool2lite use read gdfs button for backup from gdfs phone.

flash it with good erom and full flash

1st. NEVER, when you have little experience in such things, NEVER USE BRUTEFORCE before you can say that you have enough experience on flashing.
2nd. You could use, Breakin, it's a lot safer for beginners.
3rd. Try to reflash the phone with your original firmware, IT SHOULD WORK.
4th. If NOTHING, but NOTHING, you have tried by flashing or so, try WOTAN, it revives you phone, there are some guides how U shall do it.
5th. BACKUP EVERYTHING you think is needed to revive your phone, in case that something goes wrong.

Hope this FIVE things help you in the future.

he can download gdfs from topsony and it will work.IT'S NOT GOING TO BE BRICKED...I flashed with DCU-60 and setool2lite a different gdfs on a k750 and it worked...i also flashed a different gdfs at my w810 and it worked,but the phone was locked...i used the unlocking patch and now the phone works PERFECTLY WITH ANOTHER GDFS FROM ANOTHER PHONE...

of course i cannot guarantee anything,do it at your own risk...

well what's the unlocking patch?
and I haven't made a back up of anything but theres new Se Tool softwares in the download section, does any of the version repair the GDFS with the DCU-60 cable, a few months ago I paid for a month of download but now its finished and I dont have any credit to spend right now so I can't figure it out myself.

can you upload the gdfs for me ?

i need that too i cant download from topsony...

I had a similar problem and spent about a week fiddling with Setool and XS++, XS++ worked better for me. I also saw too many complicated solutions that did not work properly. I cannot describe how happy and suprised I am that my phone is working again!!!

As long as XS++ can identify the phone this should work.

Couple of things you need to do first
1.) Make sure you have a fully charged battery or a power supply with the USB connector slot on the back, my battery went flat even while charging overnight because the phone was dead, this was why it never worked the first 10 tries!

2.) Download the following file 4shared.com - online file sharing and storage - download W810i Original Firmware.rar

3.) In the flash menu all three component options need to be ticked in XS++, the MAIN, FS and customisation setting (mediteranean in this case) the different version numbers do not make a difference.

4.) Never assume that your battery is fully charged, this was my initial mistake, and wait for the thing to finish even if you think it has hung.
