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.
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 ??
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..!

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.
yeah you can.
go ahead.
aksahy im having da same problem in my internet browser of a k800i i cannot download the msn live mssenger as it says operation failed and would like ur advice

Is that the .exe file?
I’m not sure can SE download exe files
(but Nokia can, I had it)…
@Danijel
what .exe file???
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…

Stanz, reflash firmwares using Jdflasher, or else sony service center will fix it for free.
hi
i am using k790i and facing application error problem. kindly mail me the procedure to get rid of this problem.
bharat, go to sony ericsson service center for free repair, else flash your phone manually using the tools provided at thi site.
Hi guys, i tried something different and it worked, simply download the update for your phone version and install, the follow the lead to update your phone. for real n sure operation fail thing is history. i really hope it works for other phone version since it worked for my w350i. chess

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
Cha punq
flash both
video is there in jdflasher[flashing guide]
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?
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?
Cha punq
it is the part of fs
ulll have to upload to get ur phone working after reflashing fs
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

* 2020
Amit
ur phone is pnx5230 not db2020
anyways this problem will be solved by reflashing the fs!
😉
hye…
my SE k810i also got a same problem…
then….what step should i do?
Hi, I can’t access my game & applications folder. Can’t even send out text msg either…would flashing my T700 make the problems worse? or damage the phone if I mess up? Someone said SE service center will fix it for free is that true? anyone tried it?? Someone also mentioned updating the software directly from Sony Ericsson has anyone tried that as well??? I love my phone, just don’t want to kill it when it is still alive…or make it worse… please advise. Thanks!!!!!
I HAVE W350I MODEL ITS APPLIUCATION CHOULDNOT RUN & OPERATION FAIED.WHAT SHALL I DO?
I have solved this problem in two ways… one is a preventative manor which has to be pre-installed before the problem occurs, and the other is a reactive approach I just figured out when I screwed up my phone minutes ago.
This always happens to me because I remove the memory card while an app is running from the memory card. the app closes, or crashes, and the Games and Apps folders no longer will open, they give the “Operation Failed” message.
I used to reflash every time it happened, and I got tired of reflashing, one time I had Skype installed in my games folder, and set it to auto-start with the phone. when I had the problem, I noticed after restarting my phone skype still auto-ran even though i could not open it manually in the games folder due to the “Operation Failed” message.
The second thing I tried moments ago in desperation, was on a newer w580 I recently got which is CID53 so it’s harder to flash and even harder to unlock. needless to say I did not want to do that again just to fix the app and games folders. So I tried swapping memory cards as one person said, first put in a different memory card than the one you caused the problem with. Let the phone load it in memory so to speak, then pull it out, turn off the phone, wait a moment, turn it back on, then try to open the games of apps folder. It works for me, then after I have it open, I put the old memory card back in, and everything is still there. Hope this helps some people!
John
thanks for such valuable info
yeah this may happen, and very rare!
great!
Hello Akshay
since Sony Ericsson has no Service Center in iran, my only option is reflashing my phone. i have read tutorials about flashing using jdflasher and anycid but unfortunately my phone is CID53 and I must use executor.jar, but how to do it while my primary goal of reflashing was solving this Operation Failed Issue! 😀
i managed to reflash firmware (oflash) but it seems i must reflash FS to make Java to work. Do you know any workaround for my problem?
i think it’s impossible but though is it any alternative way to use executor.b (i.e. without java)?
or is it possible to re-write FS files using ofs?
Morteza
executor.b comes in action when u need to patch. u dont have to do that! just reflash fs too. using fs file which has extension .fbn
Hi bhuvan
I thought i must flash my FS using bfs (which isn’t available and will work only after unlocking). Do you mean executor isn’t required for unlocking?!
FYI my phone is K810i db2020 CID53 R8BF003 (formerly R8BA024 🙂 )
I read somewhere i must unlock using setool box. is it true?
thank you.
Morteza
yeah it is required for unlocking! but not for reflashing like you mentioned! why dont u give a try for omnius?
while flashing main firmware my phone was disturbed and lost connection and from that time onwards phone was hanging and baterry was drained shortly.i updated my phone but no use.i tried to re-flash it but the “executor” makes my cell restart and at starting only it hangs.plz plz help me
sharath
executor is supposed to do that!!!!
try seus, n bring executor in role when u are trying patching! its just meant for that
hey’ i hav k800i… how can i sold operation failed.???? i cnt installed and deleting some application and games.. pls email me [email protected]
