I think I broke my phone
I have a s710a from cingular and I did the unlock and it worked fine, I've tested with another SIM and it worked fine.
Than I got a firmware from Davinci :
S710a_Argentina_Main_R1A032_CID29.BIN
and
S710a_Argentina_FS_R1A032_CID29.BIN
I uploaded the first file (MAIN) and nothing happend, the logos and everything else still there. Still working with other SIM.
Than I went to the second (FS), and now my phone starts with the following message:
CONFIGURATION ERROR
PLEASE CONTACT SERVICE PROVIDER
OR SERVICE CENTER

Please HELP, I'm very desperate

you should upload the main and FS file one after the another. then INITIALIZED

BTW, where did you get the s710a file?

remember s710a is a network phone... the generic is s700

im not sure, but you can try to upload s700 file r3k cid29.

Since I already have the firmware files (I got them from Davinciteam web server) there is any tool that uses T28 serial cable connection to do the upload without the need of being connected or pay for service credits (like unlockitnow or Davinci)?

-edited-

The first time I saw this phone was in Argentina, on a SE booth on a shopping mall. So when I read "Argentina" on the fw file it make sense to me. And I read the current unbranded fw is R1A032, so.....

sher... if you upgrade it at voda shop, it might not lock your phone as unlockin and flashing is 2 different service... just dont let them know that it's unlock as it might void the warranty.

you can always debrand/flash with generic fw R2AE k7 fw using www.-edited- software.

credit is just US$8.00


could you be more clear on the URL? www.-edited- software?
I used a paid tool for upload with my files, but since I did not have credits it just did not finish the upgrade.

One more question
Is it right the .BIN file extension for fw and language package? Or these online tools make a kind of compilation before uploading to the phone?
