    it's not easy to repair the EROM.
    read this:
    Upgrading or repairing the EROM (FOTA) in phones CID 49 or CID 51 with Phone XS - Top Sony Forums

    first you didn't mention your phone model, thats important so somebody can help you, and second i don't think you can do it at home, it's better to take your phone to a service center, you might kill it for good.

    Okay, sorry for the stupid questions, im a bit new at this phonepart.

    Ive done this now, copied the gdfs from another k610i so i got the GDFS backup and and flashed/wrote it to the "dead" k610i.

    And now the RED light is blinking when i try to power it on.
    I tried to Repair EROM now in Seking but it wont work.
    When i push "C" and connect the cable it wont react, so i tried 2+5 and it reacting with the most of the programs and with Seking it says;

    Phone connect success!
    Baseband IC ID : 9900
    Protocol version: 0301
    Security model: FF
    Send command failure4b!

    So i dont know what to do now but some guy mensiond that i need to edit some code it the GDFS file, any clue of what? Would be gold worth!

    Thanks VERY much for the help im getting and the patience with me as a newguy :D

    The GDFS is unique to every phone, so you shoudn't flash your phone with another GDFS. You should have saved your own GDFS before messing up with your firmware. You should follow Khaba's advice and go to a service centre to see if it can be repaired.

    The problem was that i couldn't save it. I got an Error everytime with every program.. No more advices? I bought this phone sheap like this, "dead", so thats why it's not urgent to take it to a serviceplace, and thats why im trying to fix it for my self or with your help guys..

    More idéas people?

    Usually you need a clean GDFS (without an IMEI). After flashing it you need to unlock the phone. But since your phone is DB2020 I don't think it'll work. Also you need SE Tool 3.
