Was: k800i help
hi guys, new here, i searched and have no clear answer...anyways heres my story. I turned off my phone since I was about to get aboard the plane, and when I tried to turn it on I get a flashing white screen, but no red light. From reading and searching several forums, it seems that most of the answer is that I need a reflash, so I downloaded XS++. As soon as I connected it, it shows this info:
20:26:07| Baseband ID: 9900
20:26:07| Hardware Platform: db2020
20:26:07| Protocol Version: 3.1
20:26:07| Phone name detected!
20:26:07|
20:26:07| Profiling SEMC phone...
20:26:07| Baseband ID: db2020
20:26:07| OTP CID: 49
20:26:07| EROM CID: 51
20:26:07| EROM Color: Red
20:26:07| IMEI: 35399601xxxxxx
20:26:07| Phone ID: K800
20:26:07| Network: HONG_KONG
20:26:07| CDA: CDA102511/85 R7A
20:26:07| Firmware Version: R1GB001
20:26:07| EROM: R3A016
20:26:07|
20:26:08| Ready for operation!
I have downloaded "K800_R8BF003_MAIN_GENERIC_WI_RED52.mbn"
and also "K800_R8BF003_FS_CENT_EUROPE_RED52.fbn" , they are both Europe. When I try to flash my k800i with that it just shows the following:
20:28:28| Sending loadersdb2020_cid01_prodid_p3j.bin...
20:28:28| This is a PRODUCTION_ID loader

Can someone point me to the right direction in fixing my phone? Thanks guys, hopefully I didnt waste $400 on this 1 year old phone....Thanks again all....

hi
your phone is a CID51 and the files you downloaded are for CID52. when you connect your phone to xs++ it asks you if you want to upgrade it to CID52. if you desire to upgrade it, then you will be able to use the files you have there.
otherwise you will need to download files for a k800 CID51

Well don't upload firmwares from Iprotebe much... Iprotebe are good for custpacks. most firmware I have tried from there were not working... Try www.4shared.com, download CID52 firmware and flash your phone. It will be upgraded imo.

I have done and tried but no luck, I still keep on getting that same "Failed sending datachunk" message at the end. Am I doing something wrong? Wrong files that I've downloaded perhaps?
Im here in the USA by the way and just noticed that phone has something mentioning Hong Kong and when I plug it in it the Cust pack says something about Europe. If that makes any difference. TY for the help guys....what am I doing wrong?

Try flashing the phone with GENERIC MAIN and MEDITERR FS and see if it works... It can be result of incompatible flash files too

ok i just purchased 2 credits from wotan and i have no clue what happened but it asked me to update to CID52, but when I plug it now it says CID53. I guess it updated to CID53.
How long does it usually take? its been 25minutes and it says "[INET]downloading" with a file size of 28MB. I have a broadband connection, should it take this long?
How long does the overall process take? Thanks again for the patience guys and of course thank you so much for the help. |

ok guys I finally was able to download and install the firmware successfully. It was an internet issue when I was using the Hong Kong firmware, probably it had to connect to Wotan's Hong Kong servers, Im here in NY. I just changed it to the Europe servers and it successfully did it.
Anyways, another question. After the update I followed all instructions, took off the battery for 30-40 seconds then plugged it right back in, it booted up but all I see is a white screen if you look at it straight, but if you tilt the phone a bit you can see/tell that there is a display. I can also hear the boot up screen's sounds. Any idea what this means? Do I need a new LCD? grrr.....saw it somewhere for $60... |
