Help: "EaTEbS: Failed"

[2145]

Hello. I recently bought a Vodafone branded W850 CID51 RED. Before this, I had a fully modified k750 flashed to w800 without any problems, but now, when I use XS++ to flash my MAIN part of the firmware (I know FS isn't supported yet), I get the following:

16:19:13| XS++ v1.2 Ready !
16:19:18| Attempting to open the interface...

16:19:52| ++ Error: Flashing failed
16:19:52| Disconnected... Unplug the phone
16:21:35| Shutting down... 

Now, I've read the possible causes of the EaTEbs but I've eliminated them all:

It is stuck on 'EaTEbS'

This means your battery is low or dead. This is what you need to do: Exit PhoneXS. Unplug your phone. Charge it to 100% or when it says "Fully Charged". Then you have to start over. Yes, I know. You cannot "save" your progress. Hopefully, it should finish quicker the next time.

-> First time, the phone was on 51% so I charged it but I still get the
error

This problem can also occur on some phones that require a prodid loader, like the W810i or if the particular loader is not compatible with your phone because it was not designed for your phone. This problem has been fixed in later versions of PhoneXS. (-Thanks Lemming!)

-> AFAIK, CID51 flashing is possible with XS++, correct?

Another thing you should try is to uncheck "Allow the computer to turn off this device to save power" in the Device manager. Do this on all "hubs" by right-clicking the hub. Click Properties, go over to the Power Management tab, and uncheck it. (-Thanks master.j!)

-> Did it on both master hubs, no luck...

So, if anyone can help, I'd be grateful.

really bad new for you mate, while CID 51/52 Flashing (Main+FS) is supported by XS++, CUSTOMIZATION is NOT

this is because once u try one password and fail, it disconnects and then the password changes so no bruteforce available...

your only option to get ur phone running again is using WOTAN/DVT... i highly recommend DVT, read this first (will explain why DVT)

Even though I don't understand this last part, I'd like you to know that I'm well aware of every flashing solution there is, but my goal isn't to customize or flash FS, but only to flash MAIN. All I want to do is get rid of the vodafone icons and get the activity and wap button back, but it seems this version of XS++ can't flash VFE_LIVE_3 phones...

If anyone else can help me, I'd very well appreciate it.:rolleyes:

Bad luck!
You should try DVT to flash your phone (cid 51).

sry but i have to give you some more bad news ... the menu and menu icons icons... are stored in the FS part... something like FS:tpa/preset/menu ...
so you have to get a'n unbranded FS same vers as main... first you could do a back-up of the files and contacts .... and try on your own risk... mixing firmwares on DB2020 is very risky....

-->The FS route for icons is used only when putting custom icons (because the original menu.ml points to internal (MAIN fw) source)

-->Well, the fw I intended to use is compatible with my FS

Anyway, I'm gonna do a full flash with DVT... Hope it works. Thx all!
