hey guys, jus wanted to ask a novice question. Got the first ever firmware on t610. Wanna flash it, but will I loose stuff in memory, themes pics etc? Also will the new firmware make my phone more branded, I know that tmobile have added more branding since i bought the fone?
Cheers |

As far as losing any information - I have had my phone flashed several times and never lost anything from the memory.
As far as branding is concerned - I would guess that you would get whatever "branding" is on a phone with the same firmware
Just a thought!

Only P800 and P900 loose all information on the phone.
All other Ericsson and SonyEricsson phones keep there information during firmware update. |

Maybe they lie. I worked for 7 years in a shop. We were service center for Ericsson, SE, Nokia, Motorola, Panasonic Siemens.

Or the service station is installing the firmware illegally with hack tools.

You can D/L FW from Cellular-Support. Make sure you get the correct one, though.

I have made the t300 to 310 flash and is was really worth while. Much better phone now! But couldn't get hold of the t310 R3B EU4 laguage pack (includes swedish). I have tried at cellular support but they don't have it
Any Ideas?
Besides I did loose data when I made the general uppgrade but not whilst installing different laguage packs

Hmm, only thing I can think of is to request it at Cellular Support. Anyways, if you flash the wrong FW, different things can happen. It all depends on what you do. For example, if you flash a downgrade, nothing bad will happen, you'll have just downgraded your phone.
If you flash your phone with a different type of FW, this is where it gets tricky. Depending on what you do, you could get the infamous "4 Locks Closed", disable one of the bands on your phone (either the 850 or the 900) or "kill" your phone. There are always ways around this, but it's best to just do it correctly and not need to find a way around it.
