Hi!

Im having some major problems with my c702. Its been a bit wobbly a long time, restarting itself, "sim inactive" over and over again, getting stuck for several seconds while typing text msgs, listening to music and web browsing.. Basically a little every now and then while using the phone. Also it been cutting calls, i cant hear the person im talking to but they can hear me, the call "timer" also freezes. Anyways, this has been driving me nuts but the update service on the phone has been telling me i have the latest one so i havnt been bothered updating it (but i sure as hell had wet dreams about throwing the bloody phone out the window)...

Today another issue raised, I was browsing the web on my break and just as usual it decided to restart itself, this time it refused to come back to life though. It does show signs of life, when i try to start it the blue camera keys will light up and it will vibrate but then it stays that way and nothing more happens. I have to remove the battery in order to turn the blue light off. Ive been googleing my fingers bloody all afternoon but i cant seem to find anyone with the same problem and i have no idea of what to do. Ive tried removing the battery and giving it a "cold start", ive tried connecting it to the charger, both with and without battery. Removing memorycard and sim card but still, nothing. Just that blue light. Anyone have any idea of whats going on?

Thanks, any help much appreciated!

hi

your phone seems to be running an old firmware. you can try flashing your phone as SEUS tells you you're up to date.

try and again update with seus... via comp
it is a possible case of coruption
a flash should solve the phone...
even if you have the latest firmware, you have to flash that again...

if you cannot do that with seus, then you can alternatively download your firmwar from net and use tool to flash it yourself...

Ive tried using the SE update service on the computer now, but no luck, it says my phone has the latest firmware. I read up about XS++ and tried to flash my phone thru that but no result, only gave me this;

20:58:40| Profiling SEMC phone...
20:58:40| Platform: Unknown
20:58:40| OTP CID: 0
20:58:40| EROM CID: 0
20:58:40| EROM Color: n/a

20:58:40| EROM: n/a
20:58:40| Ready for operation!
20:58:46| Sorry, your phone is NOT SUPPORTED
20:58:46| Error: Failed to send CSLoader!
20:58:46| FSX Shutdown!
20:58:48| Disconnected... Unplug the phone

This happened when i was trying to do a GDFS back up (using this guide http://forums.se-nse.net/index.php?showtopic=16148)... Should i just try to reinstall the firmware without doing that backup? Where can i find the firmware? Sorry, im a noob to this, i usually just make calls with my bloody phone. Thanks for your quick replies, very appreciated!

node, you can do 1 thing;

- reflash without gdfs backup

For the first all you need is firmware files, which I can provide for you, tested and working.
After you flash those you can update to the latest firmware via SEUS if you wish.

Edit: removed gdfs backup stuff since it is not possible to do it for free with the c702.

Blerk, A2 GDFS backup is not possible even with Linux and PhoneXS 4.1Beta. Can be done with a SEToolBox3 (Not Free!) Backup of DB2012/DB2020 CID53 and PNX is possible tho' with PhoneXS4.1.

I am just providing answers to the questions asked, if he wants to make the GDFS backup he needs to go trough some extra "trouble". Maybe he runs Linux or is proficient with it, we don't know

To flash the phone you need a2uploader in windows. To make a GDFS backup of a new phone you need PhoneXS which is Linux only for now. It is quite simple really. I have several firmware versions for the C702 here, R3DA029 Western Europe with original SEUS customize files (Extracted it myself after a flash). Or some newer version with only Russian and English.

Best way to go is to flash it with an older version, change the CDA to the region/languages you need and then use SEUS to get the latest firmware.

@Boysie99, It is possible with some CID53 phones, I've made some GDFS backups with it just fine, haven't tried my C902/C702 though, I flash without the backups So no free GDFS backup option for A2 platform then? Too bad. Seems development of those has grinded to a halt. No more FAR plugin updates, no more XS++ updates, and a2uploader can't do much apartfrom flash and up/download files.

Lol, that is just me. Just answering his questions to the best of my ability. If it was my phone I'd downgrade it and then use SEUS to reflash it. Easy peasy.
