Please help!! W600i May have wrong GDFS?

[Gigman]

Ok I'm stuck. I dont have an SSW file that matches my phone in db2010cid49_3_3. Only have k750w800_r2e_dcu.49r.ssw and w550_r2e_dcu.49r.ssw. Do I need one for w600i? or can I use one of these?

[SeaMonkey]

Yes,you need,but you can make by yourself(in Setool folder you have another one colled
"make_rest" - copy your main here and drag'n drop over ssw2rest and you will get W600rest)

[Gigman]

Ok I found ssw2rest. My main what drag over it? I dont get it? I have a file named W600_R7CA017_MAIN_NAM_1_EE_RED49.mbn in that folder. I dragged it to ssw2rest and nothing happened? Is that the file your talking about....mbn file? Where does the rest file go to?

[Gigman]

Its hopeless.........tutorial says I need ssw file...you say I need main? Passed over ss2rest. All that does is make a rest file. If I could get it to work! I need a file with extension .SSW per the tutorial. I tried using XS++ with regualr main not .ssw file and then went into far and it freezes when I get to the part that says >Select the cable , maximum Speed and the script which represents your phone and press Enter The Matrix ! After That you will have FS and FLASH , just press FS and you should be able to access it just like you can on CID 36 phones ! I cant access nothing! it freezes up and I have to close far. Can someone PLEASE....tell me what I need to do to get this far..king....thing to work? I have down loaded 2 gb worth of stuff and I am so confused about FAR I am ready to take a hammer to the phone. I have about ten different Far files, sepf's jdflasher files and stuff.....I am getting nowhere fast.

You will find rest from ssw2rest in C:\Documents and Settings\Owner on your computer - something like that - R7B046_CXC1123106_GENERIC_EE

[Gigman]

Well...after spending five days of my holidays trying to fix my phone I have failed miserably! I dont get it. I cant get the right files! I cant operate FAR, SEPF, JD FLASHER I dont understand the concept of how each one is suppose to work and what each thing does. I cant do it without more knowledge if the workings of them and without detailed instruction. It seems there is not enough information anywhere for me to learn how it works. What I do know is when I try to load FS file W600_R7CA017_FS_AMERICA_1_RED49.fbn I get a block error on last block 50010000,00010000. See log below:

This is all I get. I have tried to use Far, SEFP and JD FLASHER with no luck. I followed every tutorial I can find here in TopSony and other places and have found no good instructions as to what I am doing or need to do. Only bits and pieces here and there. I wish someone could help me Understand all this!! I dont have a concept as to how the flash memory on this phone works. I have read about erom, main, fs, custpack, and seens thousands of files with extensions of .ssw, .hdr, bin, .ldr, .rest etc. I have downloaded about 2gb of sony ericsson files and stuff but most are not W600i related, seems they are omitted for SOME reason. I read I need a file from DenPo but I cant get it. I have tried every link possible to get what I need but cannot. Read everything and still cannot work without files I guess. I tried FAR, SEFP and JD FALSHER but I was only guessing because the tutorial was too general for me. It did not work for me the way it says.
My only hope is for someone who knows how to communicate this to me and tell me how the Flash memory is suppose to work/structured and how the files are installed to it. I have flashed my computers BIOS/ROM for years with beta's and so forth but was never this hard to understand. I know I am a newbie but I am fried to the crisp now and ready for the nut house. My job requires following procedures and I have written procedures myself and this has too many holes in it and blank pages for me. Someone PPPLLLLEAASE help me. I know I may requied extra help and would greatly appreciate it if you could. Hell I'll pay for a collect call at this point.

Gigman!!

Ok, I'm back. I've been busy after the Holidays. Philzfog, are you still ready to help? Anyone? My FS won't flash. Need help with Far..........just read previous. Thanks!

Did you ever get your phone flashed? I have the same issue, but have only been reading for 3 days and haven't tried anything yet.

Stopped at the fake trojan horse. Plus because I can't see the writing on my WSOD screen... trying to figure out which firmware and files i need for my unlocked cingular SE w600i is difficult. Why can't we create a wiki with screenshots of each step? Should I give up before I try?
