Configuration Error Solution

Now we discuss how to fix the famous “Configuration Error : Contact your network or service provider error”

Basally you get this error if you forget to flash CDA or Customization Pack(cust pack) after flashing the FS (.fbn). To fix this now you need to flash a CDA or custpack.

Download a CDA that matches your phone’s FS region. No problem even if its for other phone it will work for your phone too if your FS and CDA region match.

Connect your phone to XS++ or See your XS++ log to find out your phone’s platform. It will either db2020 or db2010 or db2000.

You can download CDA from Se-nse Download area, you need to register before you can download.

CDA for DB2000 phones Download
CDA for DB2010 phones Download
CDA for DB2020 phones Download

Download XS++ 3.1

I hope you know how to Use XS++. Besides you get this error only if you have flashed your phones FS with XS++ or SeTool 2 lite.

  1. Extract the CDA zip or rar file. You will get a folder called tpa.
  2. Create a folder called own_custpack in XS++ dir.
  3. Copy the tpa folder with its contents into own_custpack folder
  4. Like this C:\XS++\own_custpack\tpa\
  5. Now connect your phone to XS++
  6. Check customize file system option.
  7. In phone model choose own_cusptack option as phone model.
  8. Click Flash

Alternatively you if your phone is a db2020 phone can choose your phone as k610 or w880 or k790 etc in XS++ as phone model option in customize file system option and choose the correct CDA that matches your phone’s FS and Click flash.
This time you won’t need to download CDA.

In a few minutes the files will be added to your phone FS and when done reinsert battery and start your phone.

Tip : If you don’t want SE Wap Links in your phone in File Manager you can delete all itm files from a CDA and flash it. But remember don’t delete the two XML files in a CDA.

Akshay

    @ chard
    firmware is like operating system of ur phone!!!
    and it has two parts…main…which cant be seen or modified…just can b again n again installed..it plays the main role
    file systme-fs-its the 2nd part of firmware…which constitues of files like acoustics and other drivers…strtup screen…sounds…which is modded in flashing!!

    cda…its not the part of firmware but it is of fs….it helps in running the sim card!!without uploading those files to fs..ull get aconfiguration error

  24. Andy says

    Akshay or anyone else please…
    I have a SE K610i with the annoying 3 network menu/logos, i tried to flash my layout in order to get rid of these but I ended up messing my layout altogether, I tried other layouts but it will stay unchanged/messed. What’s the easiest way to fix this please help!
    Regards
    Andy

  25. Akshay says

    Andy,
    the best way to get rid of all customization is just to reflash the MAIN+FS+CDA using Jdflasher for CID53 phones
    or XS++ for CID52.
    check out respective tutorials.

  26. Andy says

    Hi again Akshay,
    Thank you for your reply.
    Can you please show me where I can download the MAIN+FS+CDA that will work with my k610i or any will do?
    Thank you
    Andy

  27. Andy says

    Hi Akshay
    Don’t worry I spent some time and I found what I believe is the same MAIN & FS for my phone above:

    K610_R1JE001_MAIN_HUTCHISON_HK_TH_RED52

    K610_R1JE001_FS_HUTCH_2_RED52

    Question: Do I have to reflash using the same MAIN+FS+CUSTOM PACK current on the phone or can I use a generic pack so long it’s for the same model phone?

    Thank you for your help so far..
    Andy

  28. Akshay says

    use Generic pack, and a generic FS that has your langauge, or a FS that’s made for your region.

    If you SMS in English, then Any FS will do.
    Since ALL region FS have English as default language.

  29. kiko says

    Hello
    I own a SE phone and I’d like to know if I can flash my CDA(custom pack) only as opposed to flashing the MAIN/FS/CDA respectively
