i would really advise against your flash method, it could really screw your phone. anyway why not take it to a SE service centre and get it done professionally for free.
p.s.
i dont think this discussion is suitable for esato as this site does not encourage tampering with your phones.

Because the platform sends bogus messages while charging, that is why!!!..But why this change of heart?..We sense a charger connected, oops, we will not shut down after all!!!..*********************** UI BASIC, HOLD YOUR HORSES

1. the only center in the US is in texas, i am illinois so i'd be without my phone for a long time. its nice in europe where there's service centers everywhere but not all countries are like this.

2. i have flashed, unlocked and unbranded about 3 phones so far without incident. worked perfect the first time and as long as you read and are careful, it is safe and flawless.

3. it gives me stisfaction knowing i did somethign myself and i learned how to do this myself. i learned a lot about how phoens work and accomplished something. not to mention i only paid for a cable and now i can flash for free as often as i want, to any firmware, any language without hassle.

i highly recommend this method and it is very easy to use and works great when done properly. you have obviously not tried it yourself so don't knock it before you try it.

punkserb,

Can you help me? I have the service cable, but the seller that I bought from lied, and didn't include the software or anything. I had to hunt it down myself. Would you be able to send me the flashing software, with direct, exact instructions on how to proceed? Also, do you have the files that I need to be able to flash my phone? I have a SONY Ericsson T616. Thanks!!!

Ethan

PM me if you need to ask anything, thanks!!!

why do you assume i havent tried it. i suppose you use div, its very unstable especially the hacked version. maybe if you are serious about advertiseing "self flashing" you should recommend SE fighter.

or of course you could get a p900 and upgrade legally.

just a thought.

rdnymllnsktr - go to www.cellular-support.com all the software, flash files, and directions are all there. if you get lost, post in the forum but make sure you do a search prior. but EVERYTHING you need is all there. register there and enjoy it, its a great place.

gbrooks3 - if you have used it and screwed something up, its cuz you weren't careful and didn't follow directions. if you follow the directions, there are no errors with it. i agree SE Fighter is much better, but i simply cannot afford it. i'm not profitting from this, i got the cable to only do it for myself and my friends, who i don't obviously charge.
i got the cable for $36USD off ebay and am very happy with it. it is somethig nice to learn about phones and how they work. and if i can't afford SE Fighter for $300USD there is obviously no way i'm geting a p900, as much as i want to.

ps the cracked version of DIV is no less stable than the real one. people who have both ave confirmed this, why are you making assumptions?

look guys i didnt post to start an argument. i have both div and fighter and i agree that we should all be able to upgrade our phones, however i was just outlining some concerns i have about the method and how the mods will react to this thread.

but i guess its a free world and everyone has their own opinions and should be allowed to voice them.

now i will leave you all to discuss this matter in peace.

ok i understand what you're saying.

i also do not know what the mods will think, but it is difficult situation. int eh US, we have bad support from SE and flashing/unlocking etc is hard to come by. if such an afforable solution works, i beleive it shoudl be used.

btw, we all know SE fighter is better, but i think of it as a tool for phone shops and people looking to make a busniness of repairing fones. DIV seems to be made for the common man and is not all that hard to use.
