My T610 after reflash from T-Mobile firmware to orginal firmware (R1L), when I make a call, that's OK, but when I hang up, on the screen appears "Ciphering switched off!" & an "!" icon appears next to signal bar, so I can't hang it up immediately (it lasts 3-4s). Have any1 met this? How can I fix this?

This is because your network operator has switched off ciphering on the network. Not to worry manay operators do not have cyphering turned on. Some of the SIM cards do not pass on this information to the mobile phone so you dont get the message, but some of new SIM cards pass this information to the mobile phone and in response the mobile phones gives a warining signal.
There are only two ways you can get rid of this message.
a) Your operator switch on the ciphering
b) You get a relatively old sim cards which donot have the capability to pass on this this information to the mobile phone set.

There was an issue with px00 that could not enable ciphering because of internal problem! So try another phine and check if it is operator that fails.
