Operation Failed Issue

All db2020 phone users many a times face the Operation Failed Issue when they try to access applications or games. This is a very common problem.
There is only one way to fix it. You have to Reflash your FS and Custpack/CDA. If you are flashing FS then go ahead and Flash even the Main.

Its easy to find the main firmware, but for non – english users its hard to find FS for their phones. English users can download any FS and use it, while non-english users must download FS for their region and use it. You can download your FS from Topsony for 2 Euro, Or Google search it and you can find it !

So Now to fix this just download Main , FS and Custpack and flash, incase you don’t know how to flash then please follow This Guide.

Check out Download Page for Links !

Otherwise better get it fixed for free from sony ericsson service center. It takes around 5 minutes to fix this problem.

    Akshay please mention in the tutorial that if you see
    Operation Failed thing only once while installing a game or application or starting, doesn’t mean that you need to flash ur FS and custom pack. Operation Failed can also be seen if a game/application file is corrupt or not complete.

  2. Akshay says

    are you sure ?? actually operation failed happens when you try to enter the Phone Games and applications .. in that case how will you fix it ??

    do you think deleting files from FS can help ?
    also deleting files from M2 Card ??

  3. cool bloke says

    I mean operation failed message is not always shown when there is an error with ur FS or custom pack..! It also comes when u try to install some corrupt .jar file or if it is not a complete file..! So to actually conclude that ur FS needs to be flashed, all your games and applications shoud start giving this problem.. only then there’s a need to redo the FS…!
    And if you want i’ve got a setup of an application that gives this message on installation.. i can show u in case you want it..!

  8. Teguh says

    Hi Akshayy,

    Wondering if I can flash only the FS + the cust pack only without flashing the main to solve this Operation Failed issue?

    And, can I just use the cust pack listed in the XS++ for K800i for instance, without having to download it from somewhere? Thanks.

  9. Akshay says

    yeah you can.
    go ahead.

    (but Nokia can, I had it)…

  12. bhuvan says

    @Danijel

  13. Danijel says

    I mean, if that “MSN Live Messenger” is an “Windows Executable” (exe file), maybe he can’t download it… Hope you understand what am I trying to say…

  24. Cha punq says

    Hi
    Same problem i have, some questions :
    1. I have R1GB firmware, and get the download firmware R1KG, should flash the fs only or both with main?
    2. Is there a guide for flashing fs in the video? Coz you said only the main can be flashed…
    3. Should i do flash main and fs at the same time or should i do it one by one?
    He…he… Sorry for stupid questions, i don’t have pc, so haven’t watch the tutorial video

  25. bhuvan says

    Cha punq
    flash both
    video is there in jdflasher[flashing guide]

  26. Cha punq says

    Thanx bhuvan, i only focus to xs++ before, now i will try jdflasher metode, 1 more question please, is it necessary to upload cda too? Isn’t it the same thing with fs?

  27. Cha punq says

    I’m Sorry back again, i can’t download jdflasher from se-lifestyle, i don’t know why, found one in 4shared but the size is 24mb, which is only 9mb that akshayy uploaded in se-lifestyle, which one do i have to search? 24mb or 9mb?

  28. bhuvan says

    Cha punq
    it is the part of fs
    ulll have to upload to get ur phone working after reflashing fs

  29. bhuvan says

    Cha punq
    why u cnt download from here?
    i dont know about 4shared one
    beacuse it may have old scripts
    download from filebase only to avoid errors..
    u have to register first
