hi all,
My SE C902 has gone all buggy on me.
1-the camera opens up when i slide the thingy (dont knw the name for it) but when i take a picture it jumps to the main menu, doesn't take the picture.
2-the phone volume in the speaker(not the loud speaker) is very very low, just went down after i did a firmware upgrade from SEUS.
ive upgraded and re-installed the firmware from SEUS a couple of times with no effect.
help please |

at first - sorry for my English
try to use A2Uploader and flash it. otherwise it could be HW problem. My C902 with the latest FW (R3EA038) operates normal, without any problems... |

flashing could solve the bugs especially cam-problem. (I have had the same problem with K800i, flashing via XS++ solved it)
I think, you can use FW from: http://www.iprotebe.cz/sony-e[....]re-c902-cid52-section1420.html
e.g. R3DA028 and than use SEUS for actual FW.
You have to back up your customize.xml (with CDA number...) - path is: TPA/Preset/Custom (function Read)
Instructions for A2Uploader: http://forum.semania.cz/index.php?topic=21838.0 - but it is in Czech - but there are pictures - step by step.
Or you can flash it with R3EA038 - but customize.xml is very important - without customize. xml - your phone will not work - on display will be: "contact service"
You have to put it to same destination: TPA/Preset/Custom

okay i flashed the phone with R3EA038 Main+FS.
i didnt back up the CDA as u told me because i flashed it before ur post
the flash went fine but afterwards the phone didnt play audio or video and the camera wasnt working as usual
so i reinstalled using SEUS, and now im back to square 1.
Camera is not working and speaker volume very low.
should i flash with a different firmware?
if yes then which one, there are so many

And what is your CDA? You could use customize_upgrade.xml with CDA e.g Central Europe (1201-0116) and then SEUS for reflash...
Put it to this directory TPA/Preset/Custom - turn on phone - it loads changes - turn off and use SEUS (reinstall/reflash)
back up your customize.xml before using customize_upgrade.xml with different CDA.
I hope it helps |

my CDA is 1208-7117. i tried a different customize.xml (Alona_i_1208-6209_R1A_Customized_United_Kingdom)
no change. |

OK, but 1208-7117 is customized FW for O2 UK, and 1201-0116 is non-branded original SE FW... I would try it. (changing CDA by A2Up and flashing by SEUS) Otherwise I dont know - sorry (HW problem) |

So, you used customize_upgrade.xml with CDA 1201-0116 for CE, flashed it (SEUS for non-branded FW) and phone still doesnt work without these bugs? |

You can use this: http://semania.mobilmania.cz/[....]12ad62247402db8c6e78e2c2d19101
Unzip it and put customize_upgrade.xml via A2Uploader to: TPA/Preset/Custom.
Unplug the phone, remove battery... turn on (phone loads changes) and then turn off. Use SEUS for flash. (reflash) |

That didnt work either.
i think its a hardware problem, a flex cable loose or something. 
so any one know how to do hardware repairs? |
