No theres no center anywhere nearby and if I turn it in to phonestore to send it in it takes >4weeks to get it back.
Perhaps theres a service center in Gävle its like 1hr 45min drive
to there....but if I knew there was a center that could upgrade while I wait the drive would be worth it almost 4hrs back an forth + the upgrade time hehe oh well.. if anyone know of service point in the middle of Gävle let me know I might go there next week anyway.

Hi,
After reading all posts under this topic, I have some questions......
I have a Vodafone T610 with R1A081 firmware (actually 2 firmwares when I read the SW Information..... R1A081 prgCXC125_583_HONG_KONG and R1A081 prgCXC125_562_TAE)
What do I have to do (in details sequence) to REMOVE the Vodafone stuff and UPGRADE the firmware to R1L013 ???
Do I do the GDFS and then AVR (R1L013) ??
or I should do the AVR (R1L013) then GDFS ??
or something else !?????
Please kindly help me with this !!!!!!
Best Regards

Just because I still can't figure out what to do with my phone (sorry for those whose still read my threads on that matter), but,
to get rid of all of the vodafone stuff, I need to:
flash the avr and the gdfs, right?
Coz some people say that only one is needed (and it's never the same)...
Please, anyone, answer... |

If you are on the vodafone network and plan to stay on it, but just want their rubbish menu etc. off your phone, then all you need to do is flash it.
If you bought a vodafone and plan to use it on another network.. i.e. o2, you need to first unlock it, then flash it.
Thats what i did. I first unlocked it for £15. That ment i could use my o2 card in it, but still had all the rubbish voda icons stc.
I then flshed it and got rid of all the voda stuff. This costs another £15 though. There is a sperate program for each. See above.
Hope this helps. |

Hi
New guy here, but only to this forum, been playing with this black art since my 3210 and my t28.
For all those having trouble with the SonyEricsson server link, like myself, here is alternative download site for both the unlocking and flashing software, you can by credits from them too.
http://www.faceoffmobiles.com/segold/downloads.htm
And for the record, it really was as simple as sticking Sony Ericsson Server Gold into Google, rather than hounding the regulars on the board!
I trawled through this forum looking for answers to my questions and have answered all of them without having to post! The number of times the same old questions get asked is unbelievable. For the sake of the guys who run this board and the regular members (who do a great job btw, well worded/clear answers - thank you) please take the time to search back through the forum and use google! It takes a little patience, but nearly always pays off.
Thanks again guys, hope the above link is useful. |

How do I check to see which firmware I have. I can't get the < or >. Where do I type it, like in a phone number?

The < and the > means which way you push your joystick or which arrow to press on the phone...
> * << * < * means
right arrow (joystick right)
* button
left arrow (joystick left)
left arrow (joystick left)
* button
left arrow (joystick left)
* button
Easy as that

I can't download flashing gold. Is the url correct? I get redirected to a parked domain (sonyericss.com), with no content.
Can flashing gold be obtained elsewhere, or is this thread no longer relevant? |

okay I'm blonde, I didn't see that, but I can't download flashing gold there either. gsm-software.com seems to be the better option, I'm going to set up a paypal account then give it a go. |

Hey, my mate bought his p910i overseas, and it worked for a while, but then he managed to use the master reset button... and now the phone won't even start up... would flashing the phone be of any help in this situation? Else any ideas???
Thanks (anyone) for the help... |

Are you such an idiot to write in 5 years old threats???
