its not possible.. and as of now nobody has come with a free solution to fix your phone.. that is a fixing a gdfs damaged phone for free for db2020 platform like k550i w880 etc

i don't think any one can help now.. goto sony ericsson service center and they will do it for free.. but first if u can they flash in a k550i Main K550i FS and K550i custpack..! then go...

and warranty is based on IMEI number.. So no matter which country u got .. i think u will get warranty in ur country. in case they say no warranty .. then i think u must pay only some 10 $ to fix it. because its a software problem !!

also take the bill with u that u got when u brought the phone.. and show the bill only if they ask !
usually using your phone IMEI number written at the back they will get to know everything about your phone

al the best !!

^^^ Hey if i got it right, he doesn't haf a broken phone. He's asking if its possi to use the phone widout SIM. The answer is: NO, for DB2020 phones.

This can be done in older phones thru patching. But patching is not yet supported on DB2020 phones, you can't use the phone widout a SIM.

if we had a gdfs backup of that phone we could have used it..
