I did some homework yesterday:
REPAIRING EROM GUIDES for most sonyericsson phones - Top Sony Forums
1. For flashing erom use FAR-Manager or simplest way Gflash and follow instructions (you need to unpack your downloaded erom)
2. yeah, do that
3. that will do, if not try Gflash.
BLUE/BROWN/RED:This "color" defines what kind of phone we are dealing with.BLUE phones has been assembled at the factory, but never been programmed with software/GDFS/IMEI (remember kids: the IMEI is stored in the OTP (One Time Programmable memory))BROWN phones are "developer phones", for testing. Less restrictions are present, as these are used for "debugging/beta" purposes. As of CID36, a phone has to be converted to BROWN to unlock it.RED phones are your typical retail ones.
