Red Light Blinking, Dead ?
Jan 22
You try to start your phone but the red light at the infrared port blinks 5 times and phone refuses to start. XS++ and SeTool 2 lite no longer detect your phone. Your computer also does not identify your phone. ANd its seems to be completely Dead..Read On, We will fix it.
Redlight blinking is a Sign of Low Battery or a Dead EROM. Some time during flashing the EROM goes dead or corrupt due to errors. If phone has a bad EROM it shuts down and does not start even if battery is charged to full.
Double Check that battery is not the problem before you proceed to flash the EROM.
In that case we have to repair the EROM. And now here we will discuss the easiest way to fix it.
Note: Before you use SeTool 2 lite you will need to have USB flash drivers installed. If you are visiting this website for the 1st time its highly likely that you do not have the USB Flash drivers installed. Please follow the USB flash driver installation tutorial in tutorials section to install them. And kindly borrow your friend’s Sony Ericsson Phone to install usb drivers because your phone is dead.
Using SeTool2 lite 1.11 we can fix this problem by this way.
- Start SeTool 2 lite
- Press Unlock\Repair Button, The first button.
- Reinsert Battery
- Connect phone holding 2+5
- Wait, SeTool 2 lite will repair the EROM, it will flash it back.
- Done
Now you can start your phone.
Regards Akshay.

Hi Aks,
This happened to my wife Z610i… Red light blinking and xs++, Far and SEtoollite can’t detect… apparently after leaving it overnight the phone just work when we tried it in the morning… don’t know what happened but its working now…
Jan 30 at 09:20
hey man .. redlight blinks even if battery is zero
when battery falls below 5% it starts off to blink in all SE Phones .. i think that was the case with your phone .. with such low battery u can’t connect phone to xs++
Feb 01 at 01:44
Its not the battery… because I even tried my k550 battery (80% full) in my wife z610 phone… it still won’t work… her battery that time was 60%full… k550 & Z610 has same battery BST-33… I even tried her battery on my phone and it’s working… thats why I’m very confused… and when her phone boot up in the morning it created a loud single beep… I don’t really understand what happened…

hi akshay again i wanna need a skin that comes in w850i in which the menu icon is animated or moveable how can i do that to my phone also
Feb 19 at 11:58
Martin .. why did you this this EROM Flash ??
i mean Unlock\Repair
its to be done only if your phone was dead
!!
now try to repair it again .. charge battery max
there is no other way out of this problem
rakesh joshi
hey man download all flash menus from my downlod page .. and install them using FAR manager or XS++ .. see the tutorial for them
Feb 19 at 11:59
Martin you need to HOLD C and connect phone to Computer .. not 2+5
you connect with 2+5 only when phone is dead
Feb 28 at 00:55
I have a Sony Ericsson S500 and i am getting the red LED flashing. I tried the 2+5 method using SEtool, but it didn’t rectify the issue. Akshay can you help me sort this problem?
THanks!
Feb 28 at 08:40
and why did that happen in first place ?
i hope your battery was full !!
Mar 01 at 13:00
yes it was full, but i believe that the wrong S500 GDFS flile was loaded onto the handset. Phones are not a porblem but is there a way to recticfy this problem.
P.S
You have some nice tutorials here on the page
Mar 01 at 14:15
heyy ! if you wrote wrong gdfs then phone is dead completely .. if you can write back original gdfs then fine.
may be you can try out writing back original
but you might need service cable . and that too no gurantee of fix
Mar 01 at 17:20
okay thanks for the info. nice new look and all. lookin forward for some other stuff from you guys.
Mar 17 at 16:44
hi akshay… my boyfriend was downloading some themes from my computer to his and then sudenly it went blank.. it froze up. we took the battery out and change it with his mother’s one which was full on. it didn’t work.. only a red light flashes on the right side .. do you thing what you say we should do works even if we weren’t flashing it??
Mar 17 at 16:58
hey !
i have no idea what happened to your phone !
Its mostly a case of dead battery or dead battery circuitry inside the phone !
Or Try connecting your phone to XS++ ! if it does then fine ! if it does not then EROM is dead ! very sad ! EROM is very though to fix ! Sony Ericsson Service Center Replaces your phone for FREE if your phone is in warranty !
now we need to know technical details of your phone .. you have not even mentioned phone name !
First install USB Flash drivers, then connect phone to XS++ holding C, if it connects then fine
else connecting using 2+5 and see what it says ! if its getting detected in 2+5 then is bad EROM !
and we can try to fix it with SeTool 2 lite !
Please Install SEUS update service ! or install drivers manually !
http://forums.se-nse.net/index.php?showtopic=17540
LOL ! you got my name correct !
Mar 17 at 17:33
jajaj yeshhh sorry.. it was a w580i ericsson.. but no problem my bf change it recently but the company had no idea what happen.. u know what was strange is that red light blinking.. nd i know it wasnt the battery.. very odd i hope its not something common because im going to get one, too.. so thanks for your help akshayyy} you rock!!
..
o and by the way.. what do you get when you flash the phone.. i want to do it but im scared it could damage the phone and then not get the warranty or something
Mar 17 at 17:37
check out this site
http://walkmans.wordpress.com
they provide content
and we provide methods to install that content
check out the amazing flash menus ! amazing icons ! completely customization ! more walkman skins ! etc are few examples !
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=qRtzrVT5Xbo
Mar 17 at 17:38
flashing or unlocking.. a lil confused :$
Mar 17 at 17:40
omgggg that video is amazing!! do you have to flash it in order to make it do that??
Mar 17 at 18:25
Depends on the phone. If you have a Walkman mobile or your phone supports flash menus, swf files, then you don’t have to reflash it. You just have to upload the swf and thm files to the phone. Otherwise you will have to do a crossflash… but w580 is a walkman model, so it’s just uploading files then.
Mar 17 at 18:28
that’s flashing, customization not unlocking !
you will be use FAR manager or XS++ to customize your phone… to change the way it looks !
and for Sysgrafix you use Setool 2 lite or JD flasher to apply patch !
Sys Gfx is changing phone’s graphics by directly replacing pictures in phone’s firmware with own pictures ! like changing radio skin, or any graphic non - text object..!
Mar 17 at 18:30
But is more complicated, and also the phone can get into need of reflashing. (own experience..
)
Apr 02 at 07:00
akshayy..help me, i’ve flash EROM K750i CID 36 BROWN to RED using FAR, flash are success,but now the phone can’t be turn on? I try to connect using XS++3.1, SETool2Lite1.11, FAR but it doesn’t detected. What shuld i do? Help me i’m very worry n confiouse..
Thx in advance…
Apr 05 at 15:33
akshay…. i try to rebrand my SEK750i to w800i, and im failed, my phone is dead too, but there is no red light. please help me to revive
Apr 05 at 16:32
Why not tell what happened? What XS++ wrote…
Apr 07 at 05:58
Akshay I tried connecting the USB while holding 2+5 but SeTool 2 lite still can’t recognize my phone for some reason. Please help, this is the third W580i I’ve had that’s gone wrong. I really don’t want to go through the process of sending it back in again…
Apr 07 at 06:35
how did your phone get to this terrible state anyway ?
install USB Flash drivers… or install SEUS, sony ericsson update service…!
and what does 3rd w580 gone wrong means ?
i hope it does not mean you already killed 2 two w580s !
you should click repair and then connect phone holding 2+5 !
am sorry for you… you should have report long back !!
you get immediate reply here usually when i don’t have exams at college…
i think you better get your phone replaced and don’t touch it again ! or take the help of your friend to get the job done… whatever it is .. debranding or unlocking
Apr 07 at 12:14
hi… thx alt for the service man..
gues i successfully flashed my k530 to w660.. tho i do not feel the vibrations when scrolling through the main menu.. s it not supported in this fone???
and when i connected the fone and tried using SE disc to phone sw,
it says insert memory stick or connect via usb..(when it is already connected)//
please giv a solution soon.. do i have to install the w660 phone drivers on my pc??
thx alt..
isuru
Apr 07 at 12:23
Not all menus vibrate, some don’t. You have to reinstall drivers, because the phone changes its name when you flash it.
Why do you use Disc 2 Phone anyway?
Apr 08 at 05:44
Thanks Akshay! I must sound really pathetic but thank you soo much!!
Apr 08 at 06:07
hi akshay, do you have a tutorial in flashing EROM? and also what tool to use.
Thanks
Apr 08 at 06:38
hi akshay,
my k800 is dead and im trying to fix it using xs++. unfortunately, i cant make xs++ work. when i connect my fone it stops here:
08:32:08| XS++ v3.1 (Darwin) Ready !

Apr 08 at 12:59
This tutorial is about flashing… fixing the EROM, we have no other tutorial about it. Is the red light blinking?
Apr 09 at 00:22
yes peti, i have the dreaded red light blinking. do you know any tool that i could use beside wotan, davinci or kulankendi. is there any tool that is free? all of this tool has a price.
Apr 09 at 13:12
SeTool 2 Lite is free.. I don’t know any other.
Apr 11 at 00:10
i think that i have
1 bad erom (red light flashing/dead)
2 GDFS is corrupt ( YES, i have backup)
but when i try to fix erom following above guide it gets to a point where it says loader startup:executed “executing CS loader GDFS startup…”
and will not proceed past this point.
Same with GDFS.
heres a screenshot -
http://i109.photobucket.com/albums/n74/timwood_2006/untitled-1.jpg
Apr 11 at 11:38
that sucks
you try to reflash main and fs
then do a gdfs write of backup
Apr 11 at 12:28
it wont flash. it gets halfway through and then play the disconnecting noise and then fails in the program.
any help?
i know my phones fixable cause earlier i did something and i managed to flash it and have it working at W580. but, it was locked to a network so while using the guide to unlocking something screwed up while flashing with the patch and its back to the start again.
if i cant fix it ill just sony service center it cuase its $50 if its a software problem.
cheers
Apr 11 at 13:24
Is the battery full?
Apr 12 at 10:37

Hi Akshay. My computer won’t detect my k610 phone when i plug in the phone’s data cable. Is it possible when power off? Here is my problem scenario… My k610 won’t turn on, just series of blinking infrared lights, totally black screen, no flash, won’t charge the battery as well. Need urgent help. Please post the solution or email me. Thanks in advance.
Apr 12 at 16:22
hii ! so EROM is dead

i hope USB Flash drivers are installed
if not sorry there is no way
Apr 12 at 16:42
is there som hope for my mobile ?

it is compeletly dead ? :/
Apr 12 at 18:00
Where do i get GDFS cause i have same problem as Tim and i dont have backup
Apr 12 at 21:10
A guy posted a tutorial about it, there’s always hope.
Though I can’t find it, it was a mail. :S
Apr 12 at 22:31
ah ok i must really fix my mobile its my mothers i borrowed it from her she is on vacation now and shes coming home on about 1 week i dont tell her about that yet so please help me to fix the problem :/
Apr 13 at 01:58
Ok I will try again. What do you mean reinsert the battery in step 3? Do I have to fully charge the battery and insert it back to the phone?
Apr 13 at 06:19
hope you guys have battery full…!
also jasper it does matter even if you choose phone as w580 … it should work fine
because w580 and k610 are of same platform
Apr 13 at 06:25
forget it .. i don’t know any method to fix phone if gdfs is gone
atleast for free… though there is a paid method with SeTool 2 Full .. if i remember
Jasper you try to do a full reflash of FS and Main
RD yes .. battery full, reinsert battery
Apr 13 at 09:18
How do u full reflash of FS and Main RD ? btw if my phone is dead and i put the charger do the battery charging then or do i need other SE phone to charge the battery ?
Apr 14 at 04:55
Thanks… my w580 died, and the program worked like a charm!! thanks soo much!!
Apr 14 at 06:13
drizzle .. are you being sarcastic ? or did you just recover a dead phone with this tutorial ??
Apr 15 at 06:43
Hi Akshay. I don’t know whats wrong with my k610. It run out of power the other day then it would not turn on anymore. Series of blinking infrared on top of the phone and a black screen, that’s all i see. I don’t know if it’s the battery or erom problem. I tried to connect my phone in x++ but won’t detect my phone. It shows this message
Error: Cannot open phone communication port
Apr 15 at 06:55
then its battery problem
recharge it maximum
for XS++ to detect phone USB Flash drivers must be installed.
and it does not detected Dead EROM phones.
it can detected them only in 2+5 boot mode.
Apr 16 at 12:16
Hey Akshay. I brought my dead sony k610 to cellphone repair store today. Battery works. The technician said it has to be reprogram or reformat. Do you know how they do it? Could you tell me. Please help. Thanks in advance. You’re a mobile genius/savvy/geek.
Apr 16 at 12:27
no idea… let them try..! if they fix it then great!
i doubt.. if gdfs is gone.. they won’t be able to
i hope you are lucky !! its EROM was gone.. if red light blinks
Apr 17 at 08:17
akshay, i can’t get this to work. does sim card and memory stick has to be removed when repairing erom? when i run setool2, press unlock/repair, then reinsert battery, then hold 2+5 and plug in my k610 data cable, it just flash a red light again. How long i have to hold 2+5?
Apr 17 at 08:20
i read many forums on the web. people suggest wanton client, kulankendi, cruiser, etc. but they are paid version i think. and not sure if they really works. =(
Apr 17 at 08:54
it will detect it if connect phone holding 2+5
if its still not getting in then battery is not full
Apr 18 at 07:54
in setool, the default phone type is k310. mine is k610 so i select it. then two check box comes up. first is bypass db2020 security. second is use “quick access” path. what check box need to be tick?
Apr 18 at 08:33
no you don’t have to check any options
its not even mentioned here. choose phone as k610
Apr 19 at 06:09
Hey akshay, i turned my mobile SE W580i off, now can’t switch it on, there is just a red light blinking…….Plz help, what do i need to do?
Apr 19 at 06:11
battery is low… recharge it !! EROM won’t die just like that.
Apr 19 at 06:29
well, i tried but there is no sign of it getting charged! and still cant turn it on!
Apr 19 at 11:12
some how get it recharged and try connecting your phone to SeTool 2 lite holding C…! or XS++
to install usb flash drivers you need to connect phone holding 2+5 and then connect it
better goto service center. they will give you new phone. because you are new here you won’t be able to install usb drivers and then repair it using setool 2 lite.
but here is tutorial.
remember you need to connect holding 2+5 during install not C as the tutorial was written for normal working phones.
http://www.akshayy.com/sonyericsson/tutorials/installing-usb-flash-drivers/
then repair using setool2 lite
Apr 19 at 11:24
thanks………for the help!

Apr 22 at 13:36
can i downgrade it using setool or any tool?
Apr 22 at 15:23
CID downgrading is not possible. I think it just may work if you had an old GDFS backup, but I’m not sure if it can be restored. :S

Did you try to reflash main (and FS and CDA)?-.-
Apr 29 at 15:10
hi
after this problem of before the problem????
Apr 29 at 15:42
After the phone couldn’t start and before connecting with 2+5.
Apr 29 at 15:56
hey
i tried to do that. but the software is not detecting the phone!
so is it still possible to do this??? if it is then how do i do it????
Apr 29 at 19:23
And you have drivers installed? Maybe a little extract from XS++ log would help.
Apr 29 at 20:53
yeah i have the drivers installed!

Apr 30 at 12:41
ey ! no drivers installed or something. phone always connects in 2+5 if it not physically damaged. if phone is damaged by hardware then it can’t be fixed this way.
nap.. what exactly is the problem ?? XS++ can’t detect phone ? try connecting phone to XS++ holding 2+5 and let us know what happens.
if your red light is not blinking then its not EROM dead problem.. remeber that. buy you can stil try to repair it using this method.
May 01 at 19:00
hey akshay, i hav a k790i n i think da eron’s damaged.. nw i rem my batt was jus 14% full wen it happ, so i was wonderin if i could still recahrge da batt wiit da same piece or will hav hav 2 look 4 an alternative batt??
May 01 at 20:34
Why don’t you try doing so then? The worst thing that can happen, is that the red light will blink or it won’t charge the battery, but these can’t harm the phone at all.
May 02 at 07:03

dude that’s foolish. GDFS restore tutorial clearly says when to restore gdfs.
now just reflash fs/main/cda. that’s all
lol
see the xs++ flashing/debraing tutorial in tutorial section.

does your phone connect to XS++ ?
try to do a full reflash on main and fs using setool 2 lite in 2+5 mode only.

Akshay please help me. My W810i died, it shut down on me, would start then shut down, white screen, now it starts and only shows theme background and no menu. What do you think is up with it. red light is not flashing, connects to xs++ ok db2010 erom cid49 firmware is R4DB005 Does it need flashing? what with ? I dont want to change anything on my phone just want it to work.
May 06 at 10:34
Yes, it needs flashing. Probably you only need to reflash FS. But I only found later Firmwares, so you reflash main, backup your contacts, reflash FS, upload a custpack.

May 06 at 12:11
Well flashing FS formats the phone memory, better be careful with it. But I couldn’t find the main that would be compatible with your current FS, and they might be incompatible, so it is better to flash FS, too. But before doing so, you must backup your stuff, your CONTACTS!! with MyPhoneExplorer…
).
I suggest reading the K550 -> W610 crossflashing tutorial, because it writes a lot about flashing basics, and also there you can read more about the process (like taking out the battery
FAR Manager is not necessary, XS++ can also do the customizing, the third link.
May 06 at 12:17
Thanks Peti im new to all this, So i can go into xs++ flash main firm ware with r4ea031 main generic hn red49 then flash flash file system with r4ea031 fs europe 2 red49 and then exit?? do i need to remove battery between flashes? do i need to go back in and do anything or is that it? So i dont have to go into far manager?? as part of this?
A flashing tutorial i read Said DONT FLASH YOUR FILESYSTEM AS IT WILL OVERWRITE EVERY THING. So do you say its ok to do this and i need to to fix this ???
Sorry first time im a little nervous
May 06 at 12:49
Stupid WordPress! Look one post above.
May 06 at 18:27
hay.. today i have flushed a new filesystem and main… and after that i also wrote the gdfs (my own backup)on the phone. Now when i connect the phone to the pc the infra. light blinks 1 time.
nothing happens if i connect using ‘c’ but detects if using ‘2+5′ ..
Is my cell gone??? what should i do now?? plz help..
May 06 at 20:26
So why not follow this tutorial?
Probably SeTool will fix it. If not, you will have to take it to a service center….
May 07 at 01:59
YYYYYYYEEEEEEEESSSSSSSSSSS.. my k800i is now fine and working.. Still have a network lock on it.. but it can be fixed.. Thank Peti for the reply.. thanks a lot for the post…
YYYYYYYEEEEEEEESSSSSSSSSSSS
May 07 at 12:58
Hi peti, 1 more question before i flash my phone, im not worried about backing up my contacts, but in a tutorial on this site it says about backing up GDFS says i need to using X++ . My version is v1.2 and doesnt seem to have the back up gdfs function is this only availible in v2.0 and do i need to do this back up?
Thanks for yr help
May 07 at 13:04
Backing up GDFS is an optional step. I never needed my backup, but it is better to have one, because it can get damaged, and if you don’t have backup, your phone might be lost forever (bricked).
So create a backup!! Use XS++ 3.1, download from our other site.
May 08 at 06:03
Peti, downloaded xs++3.1 and backed up gdfs ok then flashed main and fs with downloads you supplied thanks again. But it had problems with customising i did as the tutorial on here said made up folder named it own_custpac and loaded yr cust pac into it but it said customising failed then flashing failed. Could i have just selected a cda from the list allready there? did i have to make my own cust pack? xs++ 3.1 wont reconise phone now comes up with this
sending db2010_cid00_prodid_p3l.bin
payload failed
sendingproduction__idloader
sending db2010_cid00_prodid_p3l.bin

Activating GDFS
xs ++ v 1.2 seems to reconise phone but still probs in there too
May 08 at 06:39
Please help
May 08 at 06:42
XS++ 1.2.. isn’t that…..bad
which phone ??
USE XS++ 2.2….!! then reflash fs/main/cda all correctly.
phone will work all well.
May 08 at 07:04
W810i can i just select one of the cda s from the list on xs++ instead of selecting own cust pack?
thanks for yr help
May 08 at 07:18
It’s better to use own custpack. Download from seflashing.extra.hu.
May 08 at 07:19
yes sure. choose any db2010 phone and select the custpack that matches your FS.
if you want only english language then choose any cda… but a db2010 phone cda.
May 08 at 07:51
Thanks for being patient with me.
Ran it again using main and fs peti sent me and selecting xs++ cda cda102555/10 europe 1 same cda as was on the phone before.
says customising failed and flashing failed
says
sending loaders\db2010_cid49red_cs_r5a.bin
failed sending header 0×10
loaders\db2010_cid49red_cs_r5a bin is missing
does this mean i have a file missing out of my downloads Its running R4DB005 firmware peti sent me R4EA031 main and fs to use on it
May 08 at 08:00
actually which version of XS++ you are using.
and which phone..?? tell me all that.
as i told USE XS++ 2.2 or else it won’t work
May 08 at 08:04
Sorry w810i just tried it using xs++v1.2 will download v2.2 and try that thanks
May 08 at 08:40
connected to xs++ v2.2
Says sending db2010_cid00_prodid_p31.bin
Prologue failed
will not connect with phone
May 08 at 09:02
tried 10 times it finally let me in and i was able to carry out flahing again with xs++ 2.2
Still failed
said
Sending loaders db2010_cid49red_cs_r5a.bin
seems to fail when its in the customising process
Is it just the cda causing the proplems
May 08 at 09:03
What is the bin file it keeps refering to and having problems with
May 08 at 09:09
or is it that cda102555/10 europe1 cannot be used with R4EA031 this phone is enough to drive any one crazy
May 08 at 09:34
Or is the problem that i cant write R4EA031 main and fs over the top of R4DB005
Has any one got links to R4DB005 main and fs
May 08 at 09:41
It can’t be the problem. I have only R4C and R4E main & fs. Maybe the custpack is wrong…
May 08 at 09:49
ive tried using the cda s that are in xs++ and tried selecting cda102555/10
then cda102555_2 none seem to work maybe the ones in xs++ dont have enough info maybe i need to select the cust pac but that didnt work last time either
May 08 at 10:07
Stuart……!! So you have a w810.
Using XS++ 3.1 !! Try to Reflash Main + FS …!! Then try customization.
if that does not work…. then try to repair EROM using this tutorial.
then go for a full reflash of main+FS+cda.
that should work fine now.
May 08 at 12:08
xs++ 3.1 wont reconise the phone came up with Sending db2010_cid00_prodid_p3l.bin and thats it wont connect. I did try xs++2.2 and it did manage to connect after a while then flashed just main and fs but came up with . sorry yr phone is not supported cannot send flash loader flashing failed
Then did as u asked setool lite 1.11 pressed repair unlock then connected ph with c button in
said loader header not accepted cant load id loader and stoped
May 08 at 12:14
Thanks again for yr help Akshay this phone really is testing us ummm any other ideas

Mike. in 2+5 mode you reflash main+fs.
god only knows why your phone went into this Red light state…. i hope its EROM dead and not something else really
Stuart… man your phone is refusing by all means.
now only try is SeTool 2 lite.
flash the main fs and cda with it.
there will be a big empty box in setool 2 lite.
put the mbn fbn and hit flash .
then again you add to zip the cda files and then put in that empty box and hit flash. hope setool 2 lite fixes your phone.
actually you can use Setool 2 lite also to debrand/flash etc.
May 08 at 22:53
So like wat do i do akshay
May 09 at 08:35
tried on se tool to flash main and fs
no good either

hey MIKE.. i will mail you in 5-6 days.
just google search repair db2020 corrupt gdfs. you should fine a tutorial .. till then
May 10 at 14:38
I love u… thank you!!! You save my phone…
May 10 at 18:22
setool is a virus. it contains a trojan called generic.
dont use it.
and ive tried every unblocking tool and i still cant unbrick my freinds k800
May 11 at 05:37
Ok i’ll keep on the look out
May 11 at 06:12
DAN…. that’s silly… i can’t help your stupid anti virus.
SeTool 2 lite has nothing to do with your computer dude…
May 11 at 22:19
hey
suddenly my sony ericsson s500i wont turn on.
when i try it vibrates once and thats all.
i put the charger in as well but nothing works.
i dont know what to do?
please help.
x
May 12 at 06:02
@ dan: SeTool is recognized as Trojan Generic (by NOD32), but generic means that it has no name, like the trojan in it is not recognizable, it is only, that it has some functions that could harm a pc, but it can’t understand how… Besides you can download it from any site, it will be infected (or considered infected by NOD32), and many flashers still use it, we never haved problems with it….
(You will lose contacts and files on the phone…)
@ Olivia: If you still have warranty, then bring it to a SE service center. If you don’t, remove M2 and SIM cards from it, backup GDFS, and reflash Main and FS, and upload a custpack… This (almost) always helps.
May 12 at 16:15
hah thanks so much for your help.
but im 14 and i dont understand.
whas M2 and whats backup GDFS and reflash Main and FS?
haha so sorry, just i dont really understand.
thankyou
it just wont charge and it flashes 5 times.
May 12 at 16:27
14.. lol dude that’s a lame answer.
you get your phone replaced from sony ericsson then.
they will happily give you a new S500i
if the red light flashes 5 times. then EROM Is dead.
install usbflash drivers using another SE phone.
repair phone using this red light tutorial..
later follow other tutorials at site…
best for your is to get phone replaced if you don’t like technical stuff.
May 12 at 16:41
hah it isnt a lame answer!
but cant i just download setool thing?
x
May 12 at 16:52
14 is a lame answer, I’m 15, and check out the forum thing…
Though Olivia is a girl name and then it is understandable. xD
Download it and follow the tutorial…
May 12 at 16:54
aaaah what forum thing?
haha i agree, girls arent made for these things.
do you have msn or something so you can like explain to me:)?

May 12 at 17:00
Akshay’s msn is every_one_says@iamcrazy.in , I’m a bit busy right now…
May 12 at 17:01

so like what forum thing do i have to download?
or can i download the setool thing?
x thankyou your a great help.

May 12 at 17:10
and dude like everytime i download setool it crashes..
May 12 at 17:30
what crashes ?
setool 2 lite you can download from any where on the internet.. just google search
here is out download link
http://seflashing.extra.hu/?mode=dlSoft&name=SeTool2v111.rar&show=fileinfo
why does it crash ??
that’s bad.
windows vista ?
also how will you use SeTool 2 lite ..
usb flash drivers are not installed. and to install them you need a phone that is alive.. dead phone won’t do..
but you try the whole USB Driver installation tutoral…
but in all cases hold 2+5 instead of holding C ok..?
in tutorial it says hold C but you hold 2+5 and connect.. here is the usb flash drivers installation.

and you ended up here again at this site… lol
May 12 at 17:43
akshay you HAVE to help me!
right.
the phone is blank. black screen.
i took out my battery and put it back in.
then tried to turn my phone on, and it just vibrated once.
but i put in my charger and it has a red light.
but then sometimes it flashes 5 times.
what the hell do i do:(?
please help..
thankyo so much for being patient.. xx
May 12 at 22:07
Peti hi still battling with my w810i have flashed main and fs with ones you gave me ok then went back in to customise with cust pack but had a job reconising phone had to connect and dissconect lots of times before it worked . and No i didnt start up phone inbetween the two.
still not working starts with white screen then goes black and flashes white once or twice and then turns off. do you think i should try the original cda instead of one u supplied me? could this be the problem ?? does not flash red light so erom must be ok ??
May 13 at 05:30
hey stuart… CDA has nothing in it.
its only to setup languages in phone.. so relax.
it does not affect phone in anyway.
try to repair EROM using this tutorial and then go in for flashing again.
i really really don’t know what’s wrong with your phone..
May 13 at 05:35
The same happened to me on a K750@W800. Without any reason, and then I took the memory stick out and… it was that, then it started working again…
May 13 at 06:22
Thanks Akshay will try erom again last time i tried using se tool it didnt want to reconise phone.
Peti the memory stick was the first thing i removed saw that prob in friends ph but only affected accessing photos etc nothing like this.
It crashed while i was sending a text which seems more like erom/ hardware problem cant see how software could suddenly be corupted like that. thanks guys easier to work out prob with 3 heads rather than one .
May 13 at 07:10
Akshay this is what happens when i click on unlock repair as per yr erom repair guide

Hi guys! I went through top sony and se-nse forums + your brilliant website. And the question is: if the mobile is dead and no red light is blinking - does it mean it’s the hardware problem?
The situation is: I got a faulty S500 from ebay (clicked at the last moment - didn’t notice it’s faulty. YES, I am BLONDE!). I have some experience with flashing/debranding - I hoped that’s the software issue. However: xs++ does not recognize it (communication error), setool does not recognize it (even with 2+5), kulankendi does not reconize it. Is there anything else I can try???
And by the way - love this website, your simple and straight forward tutorials helped me with W580 / Z310 / W880 (I’m really unlucky with the mobiles this year).
Best regards

Blonde women usually have silly problems, but this one is tough…
If 2+5 doesn’t work, then I think nothing will. But I think it might be just that the battery went too low, it was not in use for a long while. If that is the case, then 2+5 should not work all right.
So first try to charge it somehow in another phone, becuase if the phone is dead, it probably doesn’t charge either, but I don’t know for sure…

PHONE Is Dead.
How can a person Install USB drivers with dead phone then ?
To Install USB drivers you need a Working Phone.
We can’t really say what’s the problem with phone until you connect your phone after installing USB flash drivers.
If phone is OK in hardware then it will get detected !

go for a reflash of Main + FS and then do it once again.
flash all using 2+5 using SeTool 2 lite.
May 17 at 21:47
sorry how do i reflash the main and fs?? thanks
May 17 at 21:57
Dear boys… I charged the battery (actually two batteries - W580 has the same one) for a whole night before trying xs++ and SEtool.
I believe it is a hardware issue - thanks for the confirmation though
Keep up the good work
May 18 at 14:12
@kiki: you start xs++, connect, tick flash main, and flash FS, and customize filesystem. Browse the appropriate files there. Use own_custpack method for customizing, download what you need from seflashing.extra.hu

Hello Akshay
I enjoy reading you page on sony ericsson flashing…i have recently bought a K550i but have not flashed it yet, i was hoping to do at some point howver..
Anyways this morning i woke up and when i turned my phone on, it was all white screen…itried to take the battery in and out and only got sum vibrations when it started, it was also vibrating when a call was recieved.
I have the SE suite installed with all the drivers but when i ran SEUS and followed directions (holding c while plugging it in) nothin happened. and after i download Xss program, it said check connection or unable to make a connection and didnt work….
What should i do? I am using a different laptop now with no drivers and i am running SEUS to install them, what should i do next to get my phone to work?
I think updating the firmware should restore it but what do u recommend?
Thanks

Hi
I have a k800 that flashes a white screen when I try to turn it on and some times the infrared light blinks. Tried to fix my EROM using your guide and this is the log I got;

but the problem is my phone is still not working, and I charged the phone for a longtime before flashing it. But when i input the charger the screen goes white so im not sure if it’s even charging the battery. Is there something else I can do? Like flashing the Main and FS?
May 19 at 06:09
hi akshay i’ve changed erom chipset on k810i and flashing Main & FS but my phone doesn’t start and blinking white screen .
May 19 at 12:48
SEUS changes it to CID 53, bad idea. If it’s new, you have warranty, you better use that.
It is not likely, that you have dead erom and no red light, but still it would be worth a try to follow this tutorial, if XS++ can’t handle it.
If SEUS could finish, you already have CID 53, so you can only use JDFlasher to reflash main and FS.
May 19 at 12:53
@Robert: use XS++ to reflash main and FS, take out memory stick. Of course only if xs detects it.
@farhood: can xs++ detect it?

what’s your problem Buvan
Its CID53 so you can’t use XS++.. use Jdflasher.
your phone is working why are you here at the dead phones zone……do you want your phone dead or what ?
May 19 at 20:06
someone please help me
May 20 at 02:21
@Peti:
Thank you very much, worked like a charm after I flashed Custompack aswell
May 23 at 00:18
I am using SE w880i , Some how my phone is dead & Red light is blink quite several times. I checked the battery its ok. But I think so it is something else.
I figure out tha its a erom issue. so Install xs 3.1
and downloaded the actual erom , I flash it but massage is showing that its still sending the erom to my phone . I am waiting since 2 hours.
Can you tell me how much time it will take to flash.

Ahsen
dude your phone EROM is good and working
if EROM was bad XS++ can’t even open the phone port.
and if EROM is dead… repair with SeTool 2 lite… not XS++.
ok now recharge battery else where and try.
if that does not work then Repair EROM using SeTool 2 lite… it will fix it…!! follow this tutorial
May 23 at 05:59
Akshay,
My problem is exactly the problem “Red Light Blinking, Dead ?” that you have described. However, the SETool I downloaded from your site does not find my phone. So I am stuck at step 5.
I have the SE V630i.
Something I noticed when I charged it last night. The light atop the phone remains red. It never goes green.
Do you have any other suggestions? The phone is completely dead.
Regards,
T
May 23 at 12:36
It may be just that the DCU-60 cable is overused. It happened to me that I was trying to flash main and couldn’t because of bad cable, try to push it down, and move the connector.
May 24 at 15:14
hii…i tried flashing w700i…i thought everything is going in rightway….but after flashing and disconnected my fone frm XS++ v3.0beta……my fone is not turning on….its dead?…..
May 24 at 15:16
not even red light blinking frm infrared……..
May 24 at 15:53

@sunny: I think you had ssw files but no rest files, so the restoration after FSX wasn’t done. It happens on DB2010… Just reflash Main.
@byron: can you backup GDFS of the phone now?
May 24 at 19:00
how to reflash main plzz help me in detail
May 24 at 19:09
You download the phone’s main from topse.ru/ mobilefree.ru/ seflashing.extra.hu/ seusers.com… Then unpack the archive to have a bin or mbn file.
Open XS++, Connect. Tick Flash main, browse the file. Click Flash. Wait.

setool doesnt let me read GDFS either

@byron: are you using 2+5? :O

yes
May 25 at 13:09
thats the only way my phone can connect to anything, if i use 2+5….if i use “C” nothing happens, doents read the phone at all
May 25 at 15:43
I have a strong feeling that it is now dead. But! it may be the battery. (Worth checking before throwing it away.) Also Akshay may know something.
May 25 at 22:19
Hi i have a W580 and tried to flash it but since then i have a red light flash on about 4 times a a bit of a vibration but it does not turn on i have tried flashing it about 6 times now with setool lite, XS++ and jdflasher. They all find my phone with just holding c and they all find the EROM do you have any suggestions please. Thank you for taking time to read
May 26 at 05:29
First try this tutorial. Second, check the battery, red light also means low batt. Third do you have a gdfs backup?
May 26 at 16:02
i have tried the battery, tried the tutorial and tried the gdfs backup i created but still nothing but the red light
May 26 at 16:36
Satcey.. leave it then…
Try to Repair the phone holding 2+5 ONLY using SeTool 2 lite…
but first of all you need to have a full battery to use SeTool 2 lite.
Recharge your battery using your FRIENDS phone.
If Red Light Blinks on and on then it means dead EROM.
That means phone is permanently damaged.. mean physically damaged EROM !
IF something is physically damaged replace it. Replace EROM = Replace PHONE.
Get phone replaced with a new phone. SE will replace your phone.
May 27 at 05:30
Why would they replace it? It had been flashed, means no warranty…
May 27 at 22:52
thanks for your help i will try with se
May 28 at 17:53
Hi i was using selite to fix problem with flashing red lights. Eventually i got it to work that my phone plays all souns like ringing tones and message….. But the problem is i have a white screen and i can see anything also when i try to charge it i get a red light and white screen on all the time. Any help would be great. Great site
May 28 at 18:13
Jhon. That is terribly bad news.
Your battery is damaged or phone EROM is physically damaged/burnt/broken etc.
hope its the battery.
See what’s up with the phone and accordingly replace.
May 28 at 18:14
Peti. Warranty is valid as long as the service guy does not know.
when he comes to know then its up to him to cancel the warranty.
May 29 at 05:27
So I just flash K550 R8 and restore old gdfs backup and say I used seus…
Nice.
May 29 at 12:02
hey…..my w580i is dead with red flashing light…i have no idea what to do..its fully charged…please help…i have no idea about all the technical terms explained above :s
May 29 at 13:08
Read the tutorial once more and follow it. Get SeTool 2 Lite from seflashing.extra.hu.
May 29 at 14:00
thanks…ill try it now
May 29 at 15:32
hey..i tried the tutorial and i couldn’t do it :(…if my phones under warranty will the shop i bought it from be able to fix it for me?
May 29 at 15:34
sorry to be a pain..but i have one more question …whats an EROM?
May 29 at 18:38
hey EROM is Erasable Read Only Memory.
Now Realizing that almost 99.99% of the people in world have not studied Introductory Computer Science in Junior Primary School. I thought computer course was famous…!! Sorry all then.
May 29 at 19:21
thanks :D:D:D:D:D:D:D:D:D:D
it makes sense now…lol
May 29 at 19:31
my sony ericson w580i is not responding. the red light like you said is blinking 5 times. my battery is full. it has to be the EROM. i don’t know what to do. I don’t know what i have to do after i install the usb drivers inside my computer.
my computer does not recognize the phone at all. the screen does not appear. Please help me or send me an email
Thanks

hello akshay
well i tried chargin my phone because battery was diein (but it wasnt completly dead) and i couldnt find reg wall charger so i decided to use my usb cable and hook up to my laptop…well when i connected it and closed out the boxes on comp and it started chargin all of a sudden screen went black but the buttons were still lit…i tried pressing buttons to see if phone would work but nothing was happening than i prob did something really stupid and took the usb cable off of the phone. after that screen was black and buttons still lit so i took the battery out and put it back in and thats when the red lite showed up. but it only blinks once and then nothing…please help if you can!! thank you
May 30 at 04:16
actually it does blink 5x sorry…also i tried hookin up phone to usb cable to comp again and nothing appears whatsoever on comp (asking for hook up of hardware etc) also tried holding down the c button and nothing…hope this makes sense and hope to hear from you soon…thank you!
May 30 at 11:37
@nauman: Get SeTool2 lite from our download server, seflashing.extra.hu
Then follow this tutorial, though it would be better for you to give it to a SE service center, if you have warranty. (You’ll lose it once you flashed.)
Sent in mail, too.
@kimnus: follow this tutorial.
May 30 at 13:41
kimmus…. your is clearly dead battery.
there is absoultey no power supply to phone. how can you expect phone to start…
phone won’t connect also. only if there is power in phone then only it can connect man !!
nauman … install usb drivers properly using some one elses phone. and if that phone connects to XS++ or SeTool 2 lite. Then USB is all ok
then recharge your battery using YOUR FRIENDS phone and repair the EROM.
May 30 at 19:05
thanks ill try chargin it…but i know i had battery power before i started chargin on the comp…i had about 4th battery life it said and battery level wasnt depleted…so if its not the battery charge than what could it be? thanks!
May 31 at 19:58
Wohhaaaaa, yehooow, it is worked on my brothers K610i locked with RED BLINKING LED.
Thanks friend I love you. YOu don’t need WOTANCLIENT.
