w810i and white screen of death

hey all, i bought a w810i with WSOD (apparently), so I flashed it with:

-W810_R4EA031_MAIN_GENERIC_HN_RED49
-W810_R4EA031_FS_T_MOB_INT_B_RED49

edit: I noticed my MAIN and FS are not the same:

could this be problematic?

Using XS++

Flashing was sucessful, and the phone was brought back to life.

Works fine for abit, but when I turn off the phone and turn it on again, the menus are VERY laggy. I have to turn it off and turn it back on again, and when I do, it is either fixed (ie: no lag), or I get WSOD again!

What could be the cause of this? (I did not put any media on the phone as there is no memory stick)

Here is XS++ log:

13:18:26| Disconnected... Unplug the phone

I think the problem is, I flashed using wrong (regional)? firmware.

The phone has an asia (hong kong?) style charger, but I am in North America, can someone tell me which is the 'right' firmware for the phone? I just want a 'newer' firmware (MAIN and FS) that was from the original country of the phone

thanks

PS: if i need to flash erom, do I just d/l the cid49 erom (from top sony downloads)?

Did you customize your phone? Because main and filesystem are not enough, you must custimize phone to finish and to work all propertly.

Nice day

hi,

Do you mean customize my phone by picking CDA/region?

How do i know which region or CDA is the 'correct' one?

I just picked the region/CDA of the MAIN/FS files (not the original phone, I have no idea where it is from!)

regards.

I actually used these 2:

-W810_R4EA031_MAIN_GENERIC_HN_RED49
-W810_R4EA031_FS_T_MOB_INT_B_RED49

could be problem???

Go here Top Sony - Languages Description and see which FS suits you best. If you choose for example S_E_EUROPE, you must select customization for that FS (xs++ has it built in). Why do you use T MOB FS?
12-12-2007
barqy

^hi,

i chose the t mob, because I thought it would be suitable (tmobile = usa? = english?)

I just want to flash my MAIN and FS, and wasn't sure which 'combination' works the best.

I just want english language.

any link to working MAIN/FS much appreciated

hi yes, i have read it, but it says

"Region Codes: Firmwares are designed for specific regions and contain different languages.
If you want to debrand your phone you have to use GENERIC firmware files.
Have a look at the Languages Description on TopSony’s mainsite to find out which region you need."

So if I am in north america, i cannot use the europe firmware and vice versa?

need to clear that up

thanks

AMERICA_1 US English - Canadian French - Latin American Spanish
AMERICA_2 US English - Brazilian Portuguese - Latin American Spanish

These two are most suitable for you i guess.

I live in India and all phones here are EMEA (europe). I'm not quite sure of the consequence but what i do know is that North America and the rest of the world have major differences in GSM connectivity.
So without getting technical I'd recommend you use the American versions, they'd be better.

^ hi thanks a lot

right now for MAIN i have this: W810_R4EA031_MAIN_GENERIC_HN_RED49
for FS: W810_R4EA031_FS_T_MOB_INT_B_RED49

accordingg to language description: T_MOB_INT_B English - Hungarian - Croatian - Slovakian

Anyway, so technically, both should work fine (compatible) with my phone? yes?

thanks all for your efforts

edit: iw ill d/l this to see if ti works:
W810_R4ED001_FS_AMERICA_1_RED49

edit2: nevermind i cannot d/l from topsony it seems

Hi, thanks for the link, but i meant by not being to access the download, that i'll have to wait 2 months etc.

anyway, i have no problem paying for a service if it can cure my phone.

If the flash doesn't work, will erom flash be the next step?

don't start messing arround with the EROM or GDFS
download these files:
-W810_R4EA031_MAIN_GENERIC_HN_RED49
-W810_R4ED001_FS_AMERICA_1_RED49
-W810_CDA102555_106_R2A_Generic_AMERICA_1

and flash your phone, it should be working fine

You should use generic firmware (W810_R4EA031_MAIN_GENERIC_HN_RED49 MAIN with W810_R4ED001_FS_AMERICA_2_RED49 or W810_R4ED001_FS_AMERICA_1_RED49 FS and a matching Custpack). A T-Mobile FS will give you Tmob operator logos etc.
It's not possible to tell you the next step without really knowing the problem of your phone. An EROM flash could help, but if the problem is the GDFS it could become difficult.
Please post up a complete XS identifying log. If possible a SE Tool lite log, too.

Just flashed with:
-W810_R4EA031_MAIN_GENERIC_HN_RED49
-W810_R4ED001_FS_AMERICA_1_RED49
-and I selected America_2 custom pack (that was built into XS++), couldn't d/l the America_1 previously posted.

Anyway, problem still persists, white screen on start up, sometimes can go into demo mode.

I posted the files you need, you should have used america1 custom files, and do the customization with FAR, probably you have a damaged GDFS, download SeTool, try to back-up the GDFS, and try to flash your phone with SeTool. Try to use the same custom files as your FS don't mix versions. I'll send you a tutorial on your PM later.

@barqy, your erom or gdfs is damaged see here and try to repair your erom then flash again, REPAIRING EROM GUIDES for most sonyericsson phones - Top Sony Forums

@neppra, you need to get a custpack that matches your new firmware and using xs++3.1 FSX, you need to put it in tpa/preset/custom

thanks a lot, ill try that and report back

@thenumber1: how can you tell if erom or gdfs is damaged from the log? it says everything was 'successful'

cheers

PS: is se tool better than XS++

edit: if erom is damaged, which file is suitable

W810_RED_CID49_R3B010_EROM-FOTA_2006-02-15_17

or

W810_RED_CID49_R3BA002_EROM-FOTA_2006-08-11_10

well I flashed erom with XS++ using: W810_RED_CID49_R3BA002_EROM-FOTA_2006-08-11_10.rar

still doesn't work

i dont know what gives

the phone still lags like crazy (if it starts up at all)

any more suggestions?
