hi, I just updated my K750i via the Sony Ericsson software thing, and it killed my phone. I called the SE here in US, they said they need me to fax a proof of purchase of the phone because the phone is not meant to be released in the US and after they verified that, they'll contact me with an option of what I can do! argh. I bet they're going to make me pay or will have me ship the phone then ship it back to me with a note "sorry we can't do anything since the phone is not meant to be released in the US". sigh... well, the last thing I mentioned happened to me when my Moto E398 went dead, it's only 3 days old.
-------------------------
edit:
I think I don't explain myself clearly. I did everything that I know of before updating the phone.
- downloaded and installed the appropriate driver for the phone (k750i driver) from SE's website.
- downloaded and installed the latest version of MyPhoneExplorer (version 1.6.1) and made backup of the content of the phone.
- downloaded and installed the latest SE update software (version 2.7.6.8-1)
- let the software download stuff
- did exactly as the software tells me to do (remove battery, put it back on, pressing C, hold C while plugging USB cable back to phone)
- the update goes on until it hits 100%, then the software flickers back to start (where you can choose start or exit) and the phone stays off.
- I choose start again to make sure that the phone is updated, and the software came back with "no software update found"
- I choose exit and close the software, remove the USB cable from the phone, put the battery cover back on.
- THEN I CAN'T TURN ON THE PHONE! nothing happen when I press the start button on top of the phone!
what did I do wrong?
now I've downloaded the Wotanserver thingy, and KulaKendi (spell?) thingy. both recognizes my phone. doesn't mentioned any error though. the KulaKendi thing says this:
***************************************************
Hold 'C' or '@' (some PDA) key and plug DCU60 USB cable.
Phone Connected...
Detected: DB2010: K510/K750/D750/W800/W810/W550/Z520/Z530 Series
Phone IMEI: TOP-SECRET-DO-NOT-PEEK!
Error: Unsupported CID (36) Version!
Contact With Reseller.
***************************************************
here's the Wotanserver thing says:
***************************************************
DB2010 detected
LOADER: OK
FC ID: 20 0D
EROM: RED CID36
OTP: RED CID36
OTP: IMEI: TOP-SECRET-DO-NOT-PEEK
GDFS: phone not recognized
select manually if supported and press "Continue".
***************************************************
so I choose K750/D750 and clicked on Continue then it says "Now you can choose Main and Filesystem files, and alter other settings".
that is as far as I can comprehend. I don't want to risk to permanently damaging the phone. what is this CDA that I have to select? do I have to put anymore checkmark on those other options available?
I tried connecting the phone again with the SE update service thing, and it still recognize my phone, it came back with "no software update needed". it's just my phone WON'T and CAN'T be turned ON.... HEEEELLLLLPPPPPP
-----------------------------------------------------------------
I've read around (and my head is really hurting now) and concluded that I would need something called a service cable or cruiser cable? and some software that I don't even understand which part is the software name or what to do with the software.
could anyone help me to sort out what to do? if possible via email or live messaging (YM, MSN, those stuff) so that I can be sure that I'm doing the right thing?
OR, the better option, can anyone who has done this before do it for me?
please help. thank you.
P.S. I tried the FAQ post about fixing K800i. my phone is still sleeping peacefully.
...I wish my sick kid is doing that now...

Reflash your phone with phonexs++
Posted by aremaboy
WotanServer can revive your phone. Read Getting Started Guide on the website carefully then you'll understand which CDA is needed.
Posted by Magicnet2
the easiest way to revive repair reflash or simply modify your k750 is as said above xs++. i killed mine several times before i modified everything i wanted, and revived easyli with xs.
Posted by bulukaki
aremaboy, is it free? don't have extra money to pay for anything right now, seriously can't afford a new phone
Posted by Magicnet2
fu*k wotan. xs and far manager and the basic cable are all thats necessary. no money, and after instaling takes around 10 to 15 mins with guidance. 5 if youre already skilled.
and one more thing. dont mix k800 with k750. different type of phone... and different files needed to flash them...

7 Euros for the service. I've been using the service for months and have had no problems at all. Just read the Getting Started Guide carefully to get the correct flash.
Posted by bulukaki
aremaboy... thanks for the info
magicnet2... yes I wouldn't even dare to use K800 stuff on mine. a totally different phone although I'd like to try to use W800 stuff, but again, even though K750 and W800 is so much alike, there are difference too. a friend of mine has asked me to update the W800 after I can revive my K750...
*waiting for a miracle and/or a lightbulb moment to happen*

additional info:
it's now Sat, Jul 14 07 5PM us eastern time
* just tried phonexs++ and it said that it can't open communication port. I believe I choose the correct one. USB. however, when my phone (was still alive) connected to the computer and being read by MyPhoneExplorer, it uses COM15. there is no COM15 in phonexs++
[ This Message was edited by: bulukaki on 2007-07-14 22:08 ]
**never mind, phonexs++ just work. apparently, the battery was not 100% (when phone died yesterday it was at 95%). it says something that GDFS can't be open and IMEI no match something like that.
[ This Message was edited by: bulukaki on 2007-07-14 22:49 ]
*** tried the FARmanager. it says "connect the phone while holding the C button". does as instructed but the program just went back to the previous page. I'm trying to make a backup of that GDFS thing per instructed by previous referred link from tranced. is it too late already?

i see yor phone is CID36. so follow this method:
To write files MAIN and FS directly with Far Manage
FAR manager (for those who want to learn)
Posted by bulukaki
uh.. guys.. I'm stumped at step 5 from this link.....
http://www.esato.com/board/viewtopic.php?topic=129427
WHERE should I find this "main" file? I've searched the folder and found none called main... I'm using FarManager170.exe (version 1.7 I suppose?) and using the plugin SEFP010044.zip, but then deleting the plugin and using sefp010051.rar instead. then I loaded the FarManager and the options to "enter the matrix" listed are completely different than what's in the picture on that link. so I deleted the newer (51) plugin and goes back to the previous (44) plugin and have a mixed result when I reloaded the FarManager. it shows options from the 44 plugin and from the 51.
any suggestions? *still waiting for the angel to lend help*

@bulukaki:
www.sek750i.pl
Register here dude (it's free and quick) and download the MAIN, FS and Custom File you need to arise your phone from the dead
.
As you said the phone is CID36 (the loader told you that):
"...DB2010 detected
LOADER: OK
FC ID: 20 0D
EROM: RED CID36
OTP: RED CID36..."
You should download these files from the above link - go to firmware/k750/cid36/ and find these files:
MAIN R1CA021 EMEA 4 36
FS R1CA021 EMEA 4 36
Remeber, when downloading MAIN and FS you have to download exact match of them. So if the MAIN has EMEA language pack the FS have to have that word in it's name. For e.g.:
MAIN EMEA - FS EMEA1. FS EMEA2, FS EMEA3 and etc...
MAIN GENERIC - FS Generic and etc...
Once you have these files, flash your phone with some flashing program.
P.S. As your phone is CID36 you can try opening it with FAR Manager
. If it recognizes you can flash the phone and finalize it without any having problems. If not, flash it with phoneXS for e.g. and then finalize with FAR Manager.
Hope these steps will help you learning the spell of arising your k750 from the dead
.
Posted by bulukaki
strizlow... thanks for the info, unfortunately I can't find the main file you mentioned. I only find the FS file. there's no EMEA in the main folder.
what is EMEA means? does these 2 files has english language installed? I'm a little bit confused because the files that has "AMERICA" is not intended for north america, it is intended for spanish speaking countries (I see Chile mentioned). that is very strange. I remember that before I update the phone, the firmware says something CHINA. does that mean that my phone is K750 c? not i? should I find the files that has CHINA mentioned on it?
P.S. I searched around their download files and it's making me more confused, they are a ton of files for K750 and I don't understand a single word they put there, beside the file name

I don't think you have a k750c.You can use
MAIN:EUROPE_EMEA: http://nico5151.free.fr/SE/fi[....]R1CA021_MAIN_EU_1_CL_RED36.rar
and FS EUROPE1(It has english): http://nico5151.free.fr/SE/fi[....]_R1CA021_FS_EUROPE_2_RED36.rar
CDA:Choose EUROPE_2
You can use Gflash instead of FAR because it is more easer:
http://nico5151.free.fr/SE/logiciel/GFlash20b6.zip
Just run the program and select your MAIN & FS then click " flash" and plug your phone holding C key.

thanks for another good piece of information
the GFlash seems to be unstable (it's beta version) in my opinion. it always says "Gflash is encountering error. if you are in the middle of something it might be lost." then the program closes. I was trying the repair button.
oh well, I guess I really have to go work with the FarManager and PhoneXS++

edit:
July 17 3PM eastern
MY PHONE IS FINALLY BACK TO LIVE!! YYYEEEEAAAAAA!!!
but it says something about customization error, I guess I haven't finalize the phone or something? now trying to look into how to do that so I can use the phone...

You can find them here:

hi there racNET. thanks for the link. I seem to have fixed the phone for now.
this forum combined with SE-NSE is the best in finding more info on how to fix your phone!
my problem now, the computer can't access my memory stick when the phone is plugged to the computer via USB cable! very strange. it used to happen to my husband's W800i because of the Disc2Phone program, but now his phone is ok, while mine is acting that way.
anybody know what's the problem? thanks in advance.

hanugro, pssst... dari indo kok.. makanya pake bulukaki krn di sini langka liat org punya bulu kaki hihihi..
my phone is 90% fixed I think. I just need to get that super cam driver loaded properly to the phone and I'm all set for maybe another year or two before deciding to get K850i or not
Posted by strizlow800
@Bulukaki: Tell me the exact MAIN version you need I will try to find it for you?
Posted by bulukaki
strizlow.... don't worry about it. the phone is fixed. I used FS_APAC1 or something like that and for the main I use MAIN_CHINA. it seems that I did something during my update process via SEUS, that ended up messing the phone. I updated a W800i last night and the phone is OK, only that SEUS keeps saying that there is another update available and keep installing the same thing (R1BC something).
thanks for your concern strizlow, but the phone is fixed. now, if I just can change the topic.... so people wouldn't worry anymore....
