Kook,
I just flashed mine two days ago and I have the same exact Rev (R2B013) you have and I also flashed up to R5D007 EU and I had no problems. Just make sure you have a good Firmware file to flash with.
I used the split file version from http://www.sevenfire.net. Here is the direct link to the firmware --> http://www.sevenfire.net/T68i_R5D007_2files.zip
I also used the Thai version of the sonyclient software version 6.52. I don't have the direct link to it, but if you need it I'm sure I can find it or it should be in one of the earlier post.
Good Luck
I love my upgraded phone. |

Kook Deville,
i did mine with sim out, i don't see any reason for it to be in, and u should have it out when u do unlock, do unlock first because i've read that if u do it backwards u can screw up your phone.......... |

kolobok_vn,
I was not able to back up mine. It stopped at 100% and I let it go for 30 mins, but clicked on the stop button.
Then I prayed and went for it.....LOL.
The flashing went well though. The first file flashed at 100% and I was able to load the second file without clicking stop. The second file went to 100% and just sat there. I waited 10 mins and click stop.
When I turned on the phone, it came right up and have been running fine ever since.

rbordley,
i first tried to backup and it froze @ 99%, i disconnected phone and than it asked me to save, and that made me loose credit, second time i reconnected it just set there @ 99% when i was backing up and i desided to just flash anyway ( praying that battery would be same as it was), because i have 2 friends with same exact phones because we bought them at same time from amazon. now everything fine but bluetooth  , i still have cable that i converted to flash cable and i'll just have to undo it back to data, but i was planning on getting bluetooth headset, now i'm not sure , if i get it and it won't work it'll suck ! |

yup, that's the problem I ran into with the THAI client, backing up doesn't seem to work anymore and stops - doesn't show the save as prompt (made me lose logs too).. I do know the backup works with a different client as I was able to do so with the unlocking client I got from LogosUnlimited (was also version 6.52)..
I do know that Unlocking has a new version of the client (they state you should e-mail them and they will send it to you)..
Have any of you guys tried to backup your firmwares using LVWireless's client 6.52 client?

I just flashed my phone and I'm happy to say it's working (I have not tested BT yet, but I will soon and post the results.
Phone type: T68MC R2A hardware (previously upgraded to T68ie R2B025).
Just flashed using 6.52 of the EricsClient, credits from Adam Roth (gsmphonesource.com).
Upgraded to version R5D007(ie), using the AVR and ARM file method.
Standy time is unaffected!

I have the T68i, R2A (02W10) of the hardware and the original R2A014 firmware. When flashed to R5D007, no matter the source or flashing method, I get low standby times. BT works fine though. |
