Hi Phil, I still have that phone that wont flash here. Can't understand FAR and Stuff. Dont know if I need more files or what. :confused:

[philzfog]

[Gigman]

THIS IS FOR PHIL: With se tool I flash Main and it seems to work, then when flahing FS I think it fails because when I try to flash fs it has fatal error. Seamonkey said far and jd flasher would help me but I need some in depth, detail instructions and also some files I dont have. You said you would help if I added you to msn and I did but got no replies back. Here is the log from tonight. I tried it again to see but to no avail...still wont start.

THIS IS FOR MM12573: Sorry mm125753, I can't get it to work yet but if I get it working I will help you. Right now i'm in the learning stage myself. I need to understand the structures of MAIN, FS, Custpack, EROM, SSW Etc before I fully understand them and then how far works with the plugins and where to get the files needed for it to work on the w600i. I dont know if the flash memory in the phone are separate flash chips or if its on a single chip, or with with partitions and where each file (MAIN & FS) reside and how to use far to copy them over.

THIS IS FOR ELITEK> I was talking to two different people.

Gigman:
thanks for the reply.

its like the Concord Fallacy at this point but I'm determined to get my phone back.

I may even buy a few other bricked w600i off ebay if mine doesn't work just to see.

I actually made progress at one point by just flashing the mbn file using setool2.

It booted again and got me back to the WSOD. Unfortunately that is just back to where I was. I was hoping to actually get rid of the white screen so I could read sms and not manual dial anymore.

But now I'm back to a brick. I think part of my problem at this point may be that I have a very old or weak battery.

In the bricked stage I think the battery won't charge long enough. Either that or I've worn out the cables.
The red light will only come on for about 5 minutes and then it will not come back on until I try a partial flash and drain it again.

Finally, figured out that dragging .mbn file to ssw2rest.exe was actually creating the rest file (without .rest at the end) in my c:/documents and settings/username/ directory...

Maybe now I can full flash using
W600_R7CA017_MAIN-FS-CUSTOM.rar including:

.mbn, .fbn, .zip, and (.rest I created)

Never tried that.

However, i'm worried because I've never been successful with any of the programs to backup my GDFS. It always just goes on until my phone is drained.


Edit:

I can get back to the WSOD by using XS++ to flash only the firmware and filesystem and custom pack selecting a region

it says flashed firmware main and filesystem success and success the CS-loader has been unlocked but then during fs customization it seems to hang forever on activating filesystem...
finally i give up and stop it.
but it hangs on activating the filesystem

mm44165, did you ever get it fixed? WSOD?
