START :

0: backup all contacts !! yes back up everything in phone..ur ringtones etc.etc
to back up contacts use MyPhoneExplorer

1. First update your phone via SEUS.

this is easy just follow the on screen instructions given by SEUS program !
Reason XS++ supports CID52 flashing and SEUS will update your phone to CID52
don't worry this is absolutely safe and works great ! and this does not void warranty
If your phone is updated then SEUS will says its already updated.. this is the case with all new k550i sold in august and there after ! ppl who got phones before july will hv EROM CID 51 phone !
Installing SEUS is compulsary even if your phone is updated ! because it install drivers required for flashing which XS++ will use !
( if you get that Flash Player not installed message then check this post ! )

Backup of GDFS ! ( to be done only after updating phone )

Now u can use XS++ 2.2 to backup GDFS..

*forums.se-nse.net/index.php?showtopic=16338

Backup GDFS only After You Have Updated your phone to CID52 ..!

best place to download XS++ is se-nse.. so do register on se-nse..
now its the flashing heaven.. u can't miss that forum !

Shutdown phone .. Reinsert battery !
Start XS++
Click on connect in XS++
holding C connect phone to USB cable ! don't leave C untill XS++ says ready for operation !

In configuration select GDFS..
Click Backup GDFS...!
wait for few seconds..!! you get your GDFS back up file !
Keep the GDFS safely !!!!
Backup GDFS only for the first time !!

Step 1:.................... Step 2: ................... Step 3....Done !

*img01.picoodle.com/img/img01/6/10/17/akshayy/t_xsppstep1m_d4fc31b.png *img33.picoodle.com/img/img33/6/10/17/akshayy/t_gdfsstep2m_89880c9.png *img33.picoodle.com/img/img33/6/10/17/akshayy/t_gdfsstep3m_b7ba63b.png *img31.picoodle.com/img/img31/6/10/17/akshayy/t_gdfsstep4m_c2b8710.png
Done !!

before starting phone always resinsert battery

Flashing Main :

2. Now the real flashing
Turn off your phone. Start XS++ . Select USB ..Reinsert battery.
Click on connect in XS++ and then holding C ( as in SEUS update ) connect your phone to the USB cable ( with in 30 seconds )
it gets detected then release the C key
The left screen will display your phone details including your firmware version

EROM CID should be CID52. OTP CID should be 51. ( Your Phone Must satisfy this condition for flashing )

now in configuration, select flash. In the new screen, check on Flash Main Firmware Click ‘…’ and select the firmware file

W610_R6BC002_MAIN_GENERIC_NA_RED52.mbn
( keep other options unchecked)

hit the flash button and relax !! it will show finished after loading
when done Exit XS++ and disconnect phone........Reinsert battery

well u can now start your phone no problems...it will start

Now Flashing FS:

now restart XS++...reinsert battery...
connect the phone ( usual method holding c key etc etc )

now select this FS 'W610_R6BC002_FS_CENT_EUROPE_RED52.fbn'
( unrar it first and get the .fbn file )

check flash FS option !!
keep other option unchecked and hit flash !!
after its done just restart xs++ and reinsert battery

this time u can't start u r phone u will get an error because if your flash FS then you must customize it and that's what is our next step... relax. !

Different FS have Different language files and T9 dictionary files .. and everything else is the same

You must use the FS that has your language.. English is present in all FS by default..!

Now this is a list of what FS has what language..

FS language list... !!

and Cent Europe FS has following languages.. EN CS HU PL and SK.... ( EN is eglish and so on )
if lucky u might have one here see it !! if u not getting an FS...just ask me..!

Our Friend has gifted use Some FS and Main !! check them out if u have one for yourself .. for your region.. an FS with your langauge..

Click here

Thanks to him !!

APAC FS
has got following languages. English, Indonesian-Bahasar, Malay, Philippine-Tagalog, Vietnamese, Chinese simplified
T9: English only !!

You can flash both Main and FS together in one go...!!

Pictures !! here both Main and FS are being flashed together..
do this if u want to flash both w610i Main and w610i FS
in case u wanted to flash only Main then u must select flash main only and select appropriate Main.!

*img01.picoodle.com/img/img01/6/10/17/akshayy/t_xsppstep1m_d4fc31b.png *img39.picoodle.com/img/img39/6/10/18/akshayy/t_flashstep2m_12990ff.png *img40.picoodle.com/img/img40/6/10/18/akshayy/t_flashstep3m_7cc933a.png

now finally customization

download a cust pack from hgetis collection..! if not available for your region... then ask for it..!
i shall creat one for you !!

connect phone ( usual process )
unzip the customization pack ( use the cust pack which goes with the FS of your choice or create one which is very easy )

you will find a folder named "tpa" in it

now in xs++ directory on PC, in the directory where u have xs++.exe create a new folder named "own_custpack"

copy the "tpa" folder into this "own_custpack" folder the path of custom files should be like own_custpack/tpa/preset/custom...

open xs++ and connect fone check only customize file system

now under phone model select 'Own Custpack'
under CDA and Region, select '/own_custpack'

now hit flash...
now in few seconds custom files will be added to your phone and done
Start your phone !! Wait for some time !!

INFORMATION :

You Can Flash Only Main and leave it.. and be on the k550i FS !! This Good for people who are unable to find FS for their Region and Langauge !!
Or People who don' t know how to add languages to FS ( which is tricky )

By Flashing Main You get everything .. Just that you must then separately flash skins and flash menu and nothing else...!
Because FS contains only Media Contents Acoustics Drivers etc .. Which is same for both phones .. But w610i FS has different ringtones and wallpapers..that's all and no difference.
if u flashed only main then your phone says k550i in phone status.. but u flash w610i then its always identified as w610i and also shown as w610i in many places !

But XS++ 2.2 will always identify your phone as k550i .. its because every phone has unique IMEI number ! Even SEUS will identify your phone as k550i because they know very well what IMEI number is what phone..!

*en.wikipedia.org/wiki/IMEI

Its RECOMMENDED to Flash both W610i Main and W610i FS !

For more hacks and customizations keep checking out Se-Nse and this post !

IMPORTANT : don't forget to get original hpm 70 or Creative EP 630 earphones or better
(its ridiculous to expect a very big leap in music quality without good earphones)

Basic tutorial ends here !! Hacking and modding begins now but do read safety tips ! its one of last updates !!

UPDATE : How to USE FSX ! Must Read !!

Note: FSX And Own_Custpack Method are one and the same

IN XS++ 3.0 use Own_custpack method for mass upload of files !
because FSX has been given a interface !

Using FSX in XS++ v 2.2 !

Copy files to files_to_upload directory as required..!!

or own_custpack folder and flash as you flashed the custom pack !
this way you upload files to correct place
you can use this own_custpack for acoustics,camera drivers and everything !

the video is for XS++ 1.6.8 ( but watch it even for v 2.2 users ) !!
the following video is only 4 MB download !!

download !

the video shows how to flash...see this video and proceed
learn how to use FSX....its important because its a nice way to upload files to phone's File System !!
The only difference is the wayin selection has been removed.. for XS++ 2.x

You can use FAR MANGER or FSX to upload files to file system.. which ever u feel comfortable !

Flash Menus:

( do this later...after u done flashing main fs and custpack after u seen ur phone work nicely and after )

inside the own_custpack folder create a new folder named flash
here exactly tpa/preset/system/desktop/

so that u hv own_custpack/tpa/preset/system/desktop/flash/**** .swf files here****

inside this 'flash' folder copy the swf files only
then open XS++ and use customization
upload the same way u uploaded customization files.. ( using breakxs wayin setting as usual )

here are the flash and non flash themes ( the ones that come with w610i for more read post no 27 )
remember seperate the .swf and .thm in the rar file given below and send only the .swf files using xs++
copy the .thm files as usually u do in file transfer mode when phone is woking in normal conditions

*rapidshare.com/files/50589922/w610.rar.html

these 3 flash menus are for ppl who flashed with k550i FS and w610i Main
if u flashed with w610i FS and w610 Main then u already have these 3 in your phone

More Flash Menus

*rapidshare.com/files/36290453/176x220__2_.zip

TO PREVIEW them just upload the .swf to phone's M2 card check them out !!! a great way to preview before flashing them into phone's FS !! better then previewing them on a computer !

Convert Non-Flash Theme to Flash Themes

Adding Support for flash theme !!

google 7zip and tugzip and download them
download instructions here 1.12 MB download

u can use winrar or tugzip to unzip it but u hv to change the extension of file frm .thm to .tar which u can't do unless u hv show extensions enabled in windows !
u can add it to tar achieve only using tugzip the ones done with 7zip don't work well !
google search and download tugzip and 7zip ...

Easier method : Use MyThemesCreator by lasyk.net to create flash menu !!

Flash menu will not work if you don't have appropriate .thm files
you need a .swf and .thm .... after placing .swf in FS you must copy .thm to M2 Card and then apply the flash menu

UPDATE : Acoustics

w880 acoustics
download w880 originals : very good quality

*www.esnips.com/doc/60fc56ef-39a5-4e...F_Acoustic_W880

Xearo Ma lout hv quality and loudness and superb mega bass !
xearo ma loud acoustic : loud and awesome megabass

*www.esnips.com/doc/8501542b-6962-45...3/xaero_ma_loud

upload the acoustic files to this folder
files_to_upload/ifs/settings/acoustic/**** zapf files here ****

and flash it...using FSX....see the video about how to flash with FSX option in XS++
u can use any zapf acoustics... not apf acoustics

xadro ma loud are even better..! tested by rutwik.. so guys who want loudness and also great thump.. use xaero ma loud !
xaero ma loud tested by me >> they are good and loud...!

people who don't like loud acoustics try out w880 acoustics ! and i use w880i .. coz i just hate loud music.. i like the low music in the background..!

New Acoustics ! The JPx Pack !

Download JPx Pack

*www.esnips.com/doc/96d3a935-2c02-47...115e86f045a/JPx

Description of Acoustic Mix (JPx):
1. Original W850 acoustic
2. Applied Xaero_maloud acoustic files
3. Applied Ego farfield play acoustic files
4. Applied PedroPS extreme Loud call (fix) file
5. Applied Asash MEGABASS acoustic files

Also follow the MANUAL equalizer setting of PedroPS (16_9_11_16_14)

Result:

1. Nice overall sound, crisp, clear, no hissing during headset or loadspeaker play. (Not that high and too trebelish like sunfirev7)
2. Higher volume for SMS and ringtone alerts
3. Higher volume of front speaker during calls
4. Superb BASS

i kind don't like this jpx pack.. its has too much of bass..everything is missing
i tired this...its boring.. may be i will remove this from tutorial !

now the phone is a music monster..... just hope that all take good care of god given wonderful ears !!
the bass of hpm 70 is stunning.. !! especially with properly closed ears with appropriate earbuds !

UPDATE : Camera Drivers

WARNING !! 3 ppl got cam damaged after using extreme cam drivers... other have not had problems with cam drivers... but many have not damaged camera after using new cam mods...

now i hope you are lucky !!!!

UPDATE: Walkman 2 Skins

download here

use FSX...just put the folder TPA from the archieve to files_to_upload

don't preview the skins in files_to_upload folder
extract them to some other place and see them there...because if u check them out then windows will create thumbs.db files in each of the skins folder ! and u don't want to upload junk to your phone's FS !

Some Information : u have to place skin folders in TPA\SYSTEM\MULTIMEDIA\MP\SKIN\**skin folder here**
and each skin folder contians details of that skins... but its already done in and compressed in rar...
just unrar it and upload it..

more skins here

*forums.se-nse.net/index.php?showtopic=14361&st=40

Guess what ?? We can also have Flash walkman Skins

This will require a bit of modding on your behalf
edit the .xml in skin folder

<image id="audio.background" filename="PlayView_Background.png"/>
to
<image id="audio.background" filename="PlayView_Background.swf"/>

and replace playview_background.swf with ur fav .swf background..!

only problem is that the player is a little slower with swf background

Update : Lots of Flash Wallpapers !!

download flash wallpapers from here and copy them to Memory card using data cable !!
no flashing needed and then in phone set it as wallpaper as u do normally with jpg or gif

*forums.se-nse.net/index.php?showtop...mp;#entry162706

UPDATE: only for phone with w610i Main and k550i FS

( In such a phone u won't have radio option in Half of the Flash Menus )
but u will have the radio option in Menu when using Normal Theme...

While using flash menu in (k550i FS and w610i Main phone) u wont have the radio option in the phone.... ( ignore this if you flashed completely to Walkman !)
upload this MENU.ML using own_custpack method ( with break XS settings again ) to this directory ( give also is k550i menu.ml file...if u want to revert back then rename it as menu.ml and up it in its place back )

TPA\PRESET\SYSTEM\MENU\*** menu.ml file here ***

the file
*rapidshare.com/files/53570341/MENU.ML.html

or esnips link
*www.esnips.com/web/xxxagentxxxsOtherStuff/

other method is that u shld create a shortcut to ur phone's radio while using normal themes and then apply a flash theme and u can get to the radio using that shortcut keyy

UPDATE: Some Information : U can flash only the MAIN and use the phone !! there is actually no need to flash FS at all
u will have the original stock old k550i FS....
and enjoy cybershot walkman with k550i FS and latest w610i MAIN but that k550i FS is old !! coz u did not flash the latest that's all !

Update: Get Rid Of Sony Ericsson Links

while flashing customization delete all .itm files and send only those Customize.xml and preloaded_config.xml
find them in the customization pack in tpa/preset/custom/
this way u won't have Sony Ericsson links all over the phone in games apps pics themes etc !! i hope u guys get it

UPDATE : Very Cool one !!

Download Content from Sony Ericsson Wesbite : Learn here !!!

*www.thinkdigit.com/forum/showthread.php?t=68100

UPDATE : here is a tutorial on how to extract the contents of FS

incase u could not download main2raw and SEFStool from the links given in that tut then google search and download from alternate locations and i think they must be available on iprotebe also
if u extract the FS of w610i u can get walkman skins at this location TPA\SYSTEM\MULTIMEDIA\MP\SKIN have a look at them and see if u can create such skins !

yes u can get the drivers in the FS and have a look at them also and see if u can modify them
u can keep those drivers as backup...

*forums.se-nse.net/index.php?showtopic=7658

UPDATE : Get Rid Of...... !

The ring tones Greeting, Brooklyn D, Awakening always enter the playlist and irritate us
just delete Awakening, Brooklyn D them from the phone !

Greeting.mp3 this can't be deleted normally !
Use FSX to delete ! just add this file to delete list !
its location is \tpa\user\music\greeting.mp3

incase u really like those ringtone and want them
download them and copy to memory card.. this time in ringtone folder not in music folder !!

*www.esnips.com/doc/64cd7cb8-3d8e-45...efault-ringtone

UPDATE : Not Getting the FS for k550i and w610i of your choice ??

Don't worry !! the only difference in FS is language files and of course some preloaded settings of Operator WAP and MMS settings that's!!

So U need to get your language files and its t9 dictionary file and upload it to the phone FS and enable that language !
get your language files form any SE phone FS..it may be for k800 or w810i or any phone.... here is the download list of many FS files

Using this list find out in which FS u might get ur language files

Get the FS and extract its contents and get the language files and upload it your phone... i have given the link to the tut about how to extract contents from an FS file !

then upload the files using XS++ to \TPA\PRESET\SYSTEM\LANGUAGE\** here **

the files u need to upload is EN.LNG and EN.T9 for english
if ur your language code is XY then get that XY.LNG and XY.T9 file and upload it..

then edit that customize.xml in notepad to enable your language ( which is very easy once u look into it.. as its not a big file.. contains max of 20 lines )

UPDATE: Get Rid of Operator Logo

Download this layout file and flash it to

tpa/system/layout/ >> layout.xml

Click here to download

thanks to semaj for providing that layout file !!

UPDATE : VISUALIZATIONS !

As of now we have only 3 default ! U can edit the .avx and make new ones !
u can find them in

.avx files in \TPA\PRESET\SYSTEM\multimedia\AV
starting image file in \TPA\PRESET\SYSTEM\multimedia\AV_DATA

!!! change the start image to get new ones !!
as of now its know that there are only 2 effects lines and wrapping !

if u hv k550i flashed with w610i main and k550i FS then flash them to the locations mentioned above using custpack method !

SAFETY TIPS !!

Don't flash corrupt main into your phone ! XS++ flashing process may be get stuck in between !
if XS++ gets stuck in between then your phone is dead for good !
So Use the Generic Main given here which is tested and works !!

Keep the battery at 90-100 % charge...!! This is necessary...

A Physics Lesson : As battery charge goes down the potential across the terminals falls down...!! Its Obvious from conservation of energy . Enjoy You learned something new !! Lesson ends..!

While using XS++ don't load your computers processor !!
Your Computer should not hang in between !!
And also Power should not shutdown !! ( i mean computer must not shutdown )

In case of phone's death and u have to write your own phone's GDFS !! writing some other phone's GDFS will fail !!!!

before writing GDFS always ask for expert advice...! or ur phone might die beyond repair !! its then just a brick ! only Sony Ericsson or hopefully some one else like woton and davinci ....can then help u .. and they are going to charge... only SE can create a new GDFS for u..

in case u did not backup GDFS and phone dies... goto SE service center !!

we all now have awesomely amazing phones !! don't u want one ??

You can use XS++ any number of times... ok now that does not mean you use it 100 times a day in 365 days a year on the same phone.. !

Removing the SIM Card is not at all necessary while using XS++ !!
But that u reinsert battery after every succesive flash is very important ! if your remove your sim card ensures that you have reinserted battery !!
incase u forgot to reinsert battery ! your phone won't start ! reinsert battery and start ! it should start this time !

And You can Flash Main FS and Custpack all in one Go ( direct from k550i to w610i in one go ) ! which would be better and is recommended !
but if u want to start your phone after every operation then u should not flash all three in one go..

How to Revert back to k550i !

There are 2 ways !

1) Use XS++ 2.2 and flash both k550i Main and k550i FS
2) Use SEUS to flash k550i Main and XS++ 2.2 to flash k550i FS

But i recommend u to flash back k550i Main using XS++ 2.2 becasue in case CID53 update is released for k550i then in future u can't use XS++ anymore ! becasue XS++ does not support CID53

And u will have to wait for months for XS++ to support CID 53 flashing !!

UPDATE :: Change Main Menu Icons !!

Finally every thing's done and set !!

Thanks to kanwardeep he provided a modified k550menu ml and i just merged unequal parameters from it to a w610 menu ml

Tutorial Starts !!!!!!!

Shortcut way to change menu icons with out flashing over again !!

In Phone goto file manager goto other folder and then create a folder called menu and then inside menu create a folder live

like this ( create these folders in phone memory not memory card )
main menu>file manager>other>menu>live>

and in that live folder copy menu ml and icon files ( icon1_slected etc etc )

You must download w610i_custom_menu from my Esnips folder and copy that menu ml along with icons in live folder

This is folder to download stuff from *www.esnips.com/web/akmenu

Use FAR MANAGER or XS++ to delete menu ml

1. Delete menu ml from tpa\preset\system\menu\

2. copy all 25 shortcuts to tpa\preset\system\menu\**here**

3. done !!

4. start phone enjoy !!

How to change icons easily later

Simply replace icon in phone memory with the icon that u want
u can download ready made icons lots of them

Now on camera will be known as Cybershot and Music Player will be known as Walkman.. because i have renamed both in Menu ml ..

remember these shortcut file u must upload to FS
tpa\preset\system\menu\**here**

Download all files from here including shortcuts from here

*www.esnips.com/web/akmenu

file names and what they are..

1.k550 custom menu >> this menu ml is for using custom icons ! for k550i ppl

2. w610 custom menu >> for custom icons .. this is for k550@w610 flashed phone

3.w610i original cybershot menu >>
camera renamed as cybershot rest everything is same .. this is not for custom icons

4.k550i original walkman menu >>media player renamed as walkman .. this is not for custom icons

5. k550i original menu and
6.w610i original menu are 100% original stuff .. from a factory phone !! lol

i hope all understood

We can create shortcuts to files present in FS
so we will place the shortcuts in FS and it will point to a file outside FS
and we make it point to files in free phone memory .. lol !

To new comers >> FS is File System !
To Write into Phone FS you must use XS++ or FAR MANAGER

where we were creating the menu ml files and trying it out

list of what icon is what

Phone is not UPdated from CID51 to CID52

SEUS has problems for updating some CID51 phone to CID52

in such a case use Setool2 lite to flash it
and here you must use CID51 Firmwares !

here you get the firmwares for CID51 !!

*www.thinkdigit.com/forum/showpost.php?p=677181&postcount=459

and please follow this tutorial for using SEtool 2 lite

*forums.se-nse.net/index.php?showtopic=17855&hl=w200

now you must use w610i firmwares !!

yes make gdfs backup in Setool 2 lite before flashing and stuff

i flashed phone to w610i Main only first....and kept the stock (old) FS of k550i...
games and apps failed to work....
so i flashed back to k550i main using SEUS..still games and apps failed to work..i did flash k550i back to latest k550i main..

then later again flashed with w610i main and then continued and falshed with latest k550i FS and customized it ! and this time phone started up nicely with no bugs and apps and games worked out well !!

so i think flashing the phone with SEUS will now put it back to k550i
this works out with k550i !

ne idea hw to back up gdfs and keep it safe...give some tips for safe flashing !

also am a bit confused where to put w880 acoustics can u tell me exactly where ?? using XS++
coz every one has his own way of english....
in own_custack/tpa/ifs/settings/acoustic
or
own_custpack/ifs/settings/acoustic

there is nothing as safe flashing!! you either successfully complete it or fail!! regarding the acoustics, this is the location in the phone: /ifs/settings/acoustic

all acoustics are interchangable. you can even mix and match and create ur own acoustics for ur prefs.

w880 acoustics
download w880 originals or sunfire ( higher volume and no hissing )
or download from the vast internet.....which ever u want...
here u get many.. iprotebe

and upload the acoustic files to this folder
/ifs/settings/acoustic/

and flash it...using fsx....see the video about how to flash with FSX option in XS++
the video shows how to flash...see this video and proceed

guys guess what i googled it, and digitforum was the only place for the tut

SEUS : FLASH PLAYER NOT INSTALLED ERROR !

SEUS requires flash player....

all firefox user have this problem !

Just install flash player using Internet explorer !!
search for flash player using IE ! goto that abode or macromedia wesbite...
install it ! for windows and for IE !

Restart Computer !

i know thats what i said

i also said k850i wil have cybershot and walkman in it

D

do u get walkman 2 using this?

1) Cybershot walkman... u get Walkman 2 and also megabass and also cybershot...it a hybrid phone...best of both worlds....basically u get everything of walkman w610i and also that of cybershot k550i

2) second method...use w610i Main and w610i FS....u get a 100 % w610i
there won't be even a minute difference with your k550i and w610i !!!

u get walman 2 player...megabass and flash menu...in both options.

and u can load some nice acoustics like xaero_ma_loud or sunfire7 or w880 originals
or else the k790i originals...... as u all know k790i was given best music phone tag and ratings in recent digit mag ....saying that it even beats its walkman counterparts

few of my friends now say that k550i and w610i have same camera drivers
and i can't believe this unless i check each and every code line in the drivers !!
so wait for the results !!!

if it turns out to be true then we can completely flash to a walkman.... without sacrificing the camera quality...

yes, use some file compare utility and compare the hex code of both the drivers.

actully wid a bit of trial and error u can mod the cam driver too (like increasing the jpg compression ratio, colour reproduction, fineness etc.)

how to backup orignal firmware

how to backup orignal firmware

why do u want to back up an old firmware ???
the k550i latest FS download link is provided...keep it in safe place on hdd after download

k550i main u don't hv to back up just use SEUS and it will upload latest k550i main into phone...or else u will always find a k550i main in some download site.
and even the latest k550i customization pack is provided...use that to revert to k550i incase..

@infra_red_dude
if u know some such software plzz tell ok...

Excellent tut aks_win...

question for both infra_red_dude & aks_win....will i be able to get AF on the W580i if n ever any sorta hack comes up? i mean will that be possible?

^^^ NO

AF is the feature of the cam module, a hardware feature. so its not possible by just some hack.

one fellow gave a me a wonderful idea

buy a 2-3 weeks old k550i @ 5k ( 120 $) and flash it to w610i !!! awesome phone for awesome price !!!

readers of this thread are requested to post their results !!!
and that should help everyone
illustrate your flashing experience !!

Current Satuts of my phone is W610i
i flashed with w610i main and w610i FS and obs w610i Cust pack
its cool
but i learnt that radio in the entertainment section for w610i....i miss it on the main menu

sunfire and xaero acoustics are loud no difference in quality...... and that's not i really what want !!
coz loud music is bad for ears...
am with the current original w610i acoustics and enjoying it !!

megabass is good only for some songs
i feel that custom equalizer settings is the best !!!
yes the camera i feel no change in quality....its the same

over hundreds of flash menus here

i got an idea to preview them !!
just upload the .swf to M2 in and check them out !!! its really great way to preview before flashing them into phone !!

I need the italian language on my k550@w610.
Wich firmware must i download?

10x to all and 10x for the nice guide!

greetings,

fatez

use generic MAIN firmware... its general
then for FS try
EUROPE CENT FS....... i assume it must hv italian... i really don't coz i used APAC

*www.iprotebe.cz/firmware-w610-cid52-r6bc002-fs

CENT i suppose is central.....
there are two FS files available europe fs and cent europe fs
can't tell in which FS italian language is enabled... hv to break into them and check it out...

u can get latest R6BC002 GENERIC MAIN and CENT EUROPE FS here
even the custompack for CENT FS Is available here

*www.4shared.com/network/search.jsp?searchmode=2&searchName=w610

hold on lemme check it out
tell me the code for italian language
ex for english its en !

i found these languages in CENT EU FS...... CS EN HU PL and SK
u hv to find someother FS now....

try asking in Se-nse they will hv link to every FS availble..
or they can get u one from top sony which is a sort of paid site.

Hi Aks_win

10x for ur replay

At this moment im "working" and i can't chek the version.
But i've flashed few monats ago with wotanserver and i've notet that the right firmware "italian" is called (generic dir): W610_CXC1250755_EUROPE_5_R1KC001_RED52.wtf

So i need Europe5?

Hi all.

I have K550 flashed to w610. I am satisfied with it

.
Anybody know how to fix bug with camera? (does not start automatically when u open the shutter)

^^^ that settings will be main firmware
and no body knows how to hack into main firmware
it will be all in 100101010101 .. may be can't say.. coz u need a degree in EC and telecom to know how things really work inside !
hv to decode it first then and then find out and customize... which is very tough for us..

S

I want to say somebody

Which camera dirver is best for K550@W610?
Can you post link here?

just wondering..

is it possible to have walkman 2.0, flash theme AND Cybershot software?

if not then...

what do i need to flash to get walkman 2.0 and flash theme?

full w610? meaning MAIN and FS?

also what are custom packs exactly for?

thanks

you can't jus haf walkman 2.0 on cyber shot phone. you need to flash the whole MAIN firmware.

basically u can upload any custom pack !!!! but u must !!

in custom pack u get customize.xml !!
all custom packs have english language enabled and
u can enable ur language by editing it !! its very simple !!!

and FS contains all camera drivers acoustics also 5 language files with T9 for that languages..english is present in all FS and Custom files !
if a custom pack does not have your language files then u can flash it into the phone and edit the customize.xml to support !! or get a ready made one !

i found out that R6BC001 FS of w610i and R6BC001 FS of k550i both have same camera drivers.. bit to bit !!

and MAIN is the base software ! its the actual firmware of the phone !
its the operating system of the phone !
i don't see any change in quality of pictures for k550i@w610i with k550i !

AN IMPORTANT REQUEST !!!

Take Pictures Before Flashing and Take Same Pictures After Flashing !!

And Please Upload for Comparison !!!

Hey a_k_s_h_a_y,

At the end i've buied the 2euro credit and downloaded the region5 for my country language.

doesent mather

I've flashed both (main and fs) from W610, and the custm HB1-06_Gen_CDA102568_14_R8A_GENERIC_EUROPE_5 (rapidshar rulez!).

And sure the flahs theme

only things is about secret service menu at voice called : "Service info - Info Software" am bottom : Personalization :

CDA102568/14 R6a cxc1250755
R1KC001 99E0W EUROPE_5

But why R1KC001 ???

^^ what's that ?? secret service menu ?? i don't see it anywhere in my phone !!
i think that custompack had it enabled it.. coz we all same FS and MAIN but urs custom pack is different .. just compare it with others and see what's different the others
u can open those .xml in notepad and its easy to understand that

and about that R1KC001 !! don't worry !!
the FS and MAIN that i provided are 100 % R1BC002 versions ! and that's what i see in my phone Update service option in General settings menu !!

hey enjoy ur new w610i !!!

hello.i'm johnny from greece.i own sony ericsson k550i but when i try to flash the main menu of w660i it doesn't do it.also i have a question what is the difference between "R6BC002 ,R1KG001 and R1JD001" firmwares

^^^ u tried to flash w660i Main to k550i ??
i hv not tried it out and also since hardware don't match u will have lots of bugs
use a w610i Main and FS
also w660i got not auto focus..

R6BC002 is the latest Firmware from SE with fixed bugs and new small features added
others are old and not of concern
if u update ur phone via SEUS it updates it to R6BC002 or better

//////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////

I want to ask you a question. I found 2 another cons :
- I can't upload music via Sony Disc2Phone aplication
- I have flash theme as a wallpaper but when I connect phone in File transfer mode it changes to another wallpaper

So my question is if you have these cons too ?

I've also have another question namely can I update my phone via SEUS (I've complete w610i)

i don't have those cons
well from the custpack u had to delete all .itm files and flash only those to customize.xml and preloaded_config.xml !!
i think u did not delete them properly or something wrong
and remember in XS++ folder always delete everything except wht u will upload

and yes i don't use disc2 phone ! its such a boring program to do so
u can upload files to phone's internal memory only in File Transfer Mode
where as to M2 i think u can transfer even when the phone is on ! using My Phone Explorer u can upload when phone on ! but there are few probs.. better no do this way !

and u know why we hold C button while connecting the phone to data cable during flashing ??
coz if u don't hold C it will goto file transfer mode !!

so shutdown ur phone and connect it to USB it goes directly to FT mode ! this is just for info !

hey yes abt that flash as wallpaper i hv to check it out !! wait hold on
yes it got reset to the wallpaper of the theme for me also

if u update ur phone via SEUS it willl flash ur phone with latest k550i Main !

and u will be left with k550i Main w610i FS and w610i Custpack !
so then flash with k550i FS and k550i cust pack !!!

S

I did exactly what you wrote but I stil have those f***ing links.
I don't use Sony Disc2Phone, I only wanted to wrote that this way it doesn't work.

By updating via SEUS I mean if I can update it with w610i firmware selected ?

By the way I have another question what acoustics do you use becouse I got a little confused ?

i now use w880i acoustics
i tired sunfire they are loud !! and i don't like it !
i tired to do something with qwerty12 but those apf work only on w810i could not test them really... they say its got best megabass

then there is xaero ma loud.. another loud acoustic.. since its loud did not bother to test it ..
k thanks abt that discman thing may be coz of compatibilty ....

here read this why i don't like loud stuff !!

or u can google search as follows

earsafety guide
or ear safety guide

UPDATE : Convert Non-Flash Theme to Flash Themes

google 7zip and tugzip and download them

download instructions here

i am unable to flash my fone ... turn off then put usb and press c ... waiting.... and then cant open msg box pops .... any help ppl .....

first connect the USB cable to computer !!!!

then reinsert battery !! holding C connect ur phone to ur computer !!

Problem may be also coz of no USB drivers installed...
install SEUS it will install all the necessary USB drivers
its better to have SE Pc Suite Installed !! ^^^

Hello Akshay

That was a great bit of finding by u and ur friends.
Well I have completed the first step ie, flashed the main firmware (W610_R6BC002_MAIN_GENERIC_NA_RED52.mbn) and that was a success

Afterward when I turned my phone on , all was ok and the music player was replaced by walkman 2.0

and the camera is also fine .

I just wanna know if now I can upload the flash themes and the sound drivers without doing the 2nd step????

(without flashing FS)

Can I get the flash themes working by following the 3rd step ???? (customisation) ????

It would b great if it works .... Please help me out .......

Also what changes does FLASHING FS make ????

hey buddy nice to know that
i recommend u to flash with w610i FS
because the camera drivers is exactly the same in w610i and k550i.. so u won't lose anything rather u get a lot of things...
apart from that w610i FS has flash menu and walkman 2 player skins
and also it will show w610i status in phone.....
u can now also use flash menu and wallpapers provided u flash them into phone... flash menu are really cool...
u can upload flash menu to M2 and check those Menus out !! before flashing them into phone..

No No customization to be done only if u flash FS

now u can use flash menu coz u hv w610i Main !! just flash those flash menu using XS++ as in tut

only flashing Main is enough to get flash menu..

see i hv already mentioned in the tut like this !!

here are the flash and non flash themes ( the ones that come with w610i for more read post no 27 )
remember seperate the .swf and .thm in the rar file given below and send only the .swf files using xs++
copy the .thm files as usually u do in file transfer mode when phone is woking in normal conditions

*rapidshare.com/files/50589922/w610.rar.html

these 3 flash menus are for ppl who flashed with k550i FS and w610i Main
if u flashed with w610i FS and w610 Main then u already have these 3 in your phone

many more flash menu links added forl.. flash them !!

hi guys do you know if the mods will work on a K550im?

if there is w610im then u can use that Main Firmware to upload
there is no w610im as far as i know... dats bad

u can use w610i Main and w610i FS but u will lose imode

and i don't know what this imode is.. something to do with high speed net.. i suppose..
weather it is a software feature or hardware has to be known first !

Hai akshay

thanks for that reply . I have now installed the flash themes and the w880i accoustics and also the chris 2.4 driver

But still has not flashed my FS !!!!

I question now .... Will my phone work well with full walkman 2 options(visualisation + skins) if I flash my FS with W610_R6BC002_MAIN_GENERIC_NA_RED52.mbn ?????

If it works , then I will flash the FS also to convert my k550i fully to w610i ....

Will there b any problems ??? (Now the walkman 2 visualisations and themes are not working , same about album art

)

Please do giv ur suggestions .......

one more doubt ......

REFERING TO UR TUTORIAL ..

AFTER FLASHING FS U SAID IN THE TUTORIAL THAT IF WE SWITCH ON THE PHONE , IT WONT WORK , AND IT WILL GIV U AN ERROR MESSAGE ???

U MUST DO THE CUSTOMISATION AND THEN RESTART ??????

WHY DOES IT NOT WORK AFTER FLASHING FS ???

Once again please visit this link .....

*www.esato.com/board/viewtopic.php?topic=155098&start=45#post2105578

the greatest sony ericsson community online !!!!

I have introduced ur post here in that forum .... also introduced u pal ......

So come on join www.esato.com:arrow::arrow:

if u flash FS u must customize it !!!!!!!!!!
or else phone won't start.. ! that's all ! because it will says customization error
then u willl hv to shut it down and flash those customize.xml and preloaded_config.xml !! better flash these 2 files after flashing FS and start the phone !!

yes if u flash FS then again u have to flash w880i acoustics and camera drivers and flash menu all over again

its ok do it !! not a prob at all !
now just find a FS and flash it ! then customize it too !

yes both skins and visulization will work ! this time flash only FS coz u already flashed Main

it needs customize.xml and preloaded_congif.xml files to start the phone
FS won't have this files... that's why it won't start !
u flash them using FSX or own custpack method to its right place !!
the phone will start !!

@ Akshay

I just flashed the FS !!!! Now its a full w610i and the phone just rocks !!!!!

thanx a lot pal and thats the biggest and most promising words I have ever recieved in my life

Great work !!!!! lets share this 2 all k550i users now ........

^^ ok thanks
see FS contains cam drivers and acoustics and all default themes etc etc !

now again flash w880i acoustics and new camera drivers !
and also see i hv added a new way to preview flash menus !

i got an idea to preview them !!
just upload the .swf to M2 in and check them out !!! its really great way to preview before flashing them into phone !!

u can flash stuff into phone as long as its internal memory ( around 70 MB after flashing Main and FS ) is empty.. ok i better not tell this fact to ppl !! coz they will load all insane stuff into FS .. better keep FS neat and clean ....

yes but don't upload all flash menu coz many suck !!

Well thats great and it worked well in my cell ......

lets share this now 2 all k550i users !!!1

one more doubt ..... forgot 2 ask ..

How do make the album art work ???? i mean the album art images ???

i dunno about that.....did not think about album art !

how does windows media player detect it ??

hv to see when it shows album art...
may be create a folder and put a pic with album art as its name...

will see into it later..!

one more doubt ..... forgot 2 ask ..

How do make the album art work ???? i mean the album art images ???

letme search the net and try out figure it out ok

added an update about how to get rid of those three insane ringtone that enter playlist always and irritate us

give some ratings for the thread...

lemme see how that works out here.

i found out how to organise the album art , it can be done using i-tunes, which manages album art .... I am now appling album arts 2 my collections.... not yet copied 2 phone .... i guess will work

ok thanks for that itune help ! i think that sony ericsson disc to walkman also shld have the same !

that's all for this week guys.. no more updates and hacks

for now
hv lots of backlogs at college and got to study

i request u ppl to come out with your own hacks and tricks

i tired to remove operator logo by editing layout.xml but with no success

the shortcut method am in a confusion abt write protection of shortcuts !!!! hv to try it out later !!

and about GDFS back up !!!
download SeTool 2 lite !

for phone with k550i Main and k550i FS !!!

select phone as k550i

click read gdfs ! shall you click some other button u phone is dead !

for phones with w610i Main and w610i FS u hv to select your phone as w610i ! and say read GDFS !
this has to be tested and confirmed for w610i main and w610i fs on k550i !

meanwhile make all ur queries here i will try to answer !

Hey Ak! How are u?

in accordin to u :

Code:

Don't worry !! the only difference in FS is language files and of course some preloaded settings of Operator WAP and MMS settings that's!!

So U need to get your language files and its t9 dictionary file and upload it to the phone FS and enable that language !
get your language files form any SE phone FS..it may be for k800 or w810i or any phone.... here is the download list of many FS files

Using this list find out in which FS u might get ur language files

Get the FS and extract its contents and get the language files and upload it your phone... i have given the link to the tut about how to extract contents from an FS file !

then upload the files using XS++ to \TPA\PRESET\SYSTEM\LANGUAGE\** here **

the files u need to upload is EN.LNG and EN.T9 for english
if ur your language code is XY then get that XY.LNG and XY.T9 file and upload it.. 

then edit that customize.xml in notepad to enable your language ( which is very easy once u look into it.. as its not a big file.. contains max of 20 lines )

Can i download the version R6CA001 CID52 and put in the italian language from release R6BC002 CID52 ?

^^ hey fatez !

well which R6BC002 FS do u have ?? if u can extract the contents of that FS and if it has Italian language files then u take those files ! be happy and keep them..

then flash them into phone... into right place ! and enable them..
and also add this line

<allowed-language>XY</allowed-language>

in right place in customize.xml

...........................................

or u can rename Italian language files to EN.LNG and EN.T9 and over write English language files in FS thus u get ur language but lose english
insead over write some other language maybe german or french...
and this way u don't hv to edit customize.xml ! an u hv to choose that language which u over written when ur phone starts !!!

hey fatez i hv not tired this !! wait !

but this should work because there is absolute no difference in FS other then this !
all the files are exactly same at same locations....

first u try to add INDONESIAN langauge to ur phone now using the above process
if that works out well u can add Italian later when u reflashed FS !
am attaching INDONESIAN (id) files

don't worry if u don't know that langugae.. just reinsert sim and on start u will be asked to choose language !

Hi!

Ok, this night is hacking time!

PS: i've backupped my GDFS and now what i can do?
Can i explore the gdfs image? still about 57k, is true?

10x

hey hv attached indonesian files and edited post ... re read it !!

and how did u back up GDFS ?? in which state ??
w610i Main and W610i FS or k550i MAIN and k550i FS ??

oh yes GDFS is that's all very small file !

well the idea is there is only 1 generic Main for many many countries except china of course and yes main vodafone main airtel etc !!

so this method shld work out and get u ur language !

GDFS keep it safe.. in case phone goes dead it will help !!

just see that ur phone is connected to USB cable tightly coz today my phone was connected loosely and my phone would have died while conducting my experiments !

luckily it did not !

J

Excuse me.
I can extract the contents of FS and see my language.
But where is this " <allowed-language>XY</allowed-language> "
and how do i upload this one ??
Thank you .

hi akshay,

i successfuly flashed my k550i to w610i w/o any prob, both MAIN/FS to w610i.

And how do i backup GDFS ?

Is there a better font pack available, TFD really sucks, tft is better.

thanks
hanu_blr

to back up GDFS !
select phone as w610i and click READ GDFS
since u hv phone with both MAIN AND FS
in case of any problems ( which is rare with new XS++ ) your phone will be revived as w610i !! later u can flash back to k550i if u want..
u will get GDFS in .bin ...keep it safely !!

fonts ok i will see into it...

the creator of the loader told me all db2020 phones are safe and also immune from all such problems if u hv backup of GDFS.. so lets make one back up of it..
coz we can write back GDFS !! in case it breaks !!

H

akshay, sorry i coudnt findout in xs++ to backup GDFS, i connected the fone with press C, got detected, then i selected gdfs in settings, here i see phone lock, phone profile, dump gdfs this is grayed out!. gdfs scrpit to select. where to select phone model ?

Or someother tool ? to bkup gdfs ?

Oh man you have no idea what you were about to do !!!
XS++ does not support GDFS write and read !!!!!

i meant that if you don't know what your phone is then connect your phone to XS++ and as soon as you connect it it will show some details of your phone on the left screen like this !

18:28:54| Turn off phone
18:28:54| Hold 'C' button on phone and connect phone.

i meant use this log to know your PHONE MODEL is !! here it is w610i so i have to choose W610i in SEtool 2 lite to back up my GDFS !!!

if XS++ had show it as k550i then u have to choose phone model as K550i In Setool 2 lite to backup GDFS !!

only SeTool 2 lite can help u Backup GDFS as of now as of now

ok sorry if it was ineffective communication of information on my part !
i hv removed those confusing statements now ! make it simple !!

k550i Main k550i FS >> select phone as k550i in Setool 2 lite to back up GDFS
w610i Main w610i FS >> Slect phone as w610i in Setool 2 lite to back up GDFS

w610i Main k550i FS >> Don't backup GDFS.. phone might die
k550i Main W610i FS >> Don't backup GDFS phone might die .. coz here there might be confusion !

H

akshay, ok i figured that its not possible to backup GDFS in xs++, did a google, found that setool2lite will do the job!

anyway thanks, -hanu_blr

Best acoustic drivers for K550i:Original W900i acoustics

After playing for long time with all the available FSX acoustics settings in XS++, i can conclude that "the original W900 acoustics" available at IPROTEBE.com are the best for K550i....even better than the original W880i or K790i(I have checked and compared W900i accu with W880i and K790i)
Following your tutorial i have just converted my dumb-music playing cybershot(K550i) into a musical monster. The music just doesn't stop now.

that's great !!!

i request u to write a tutorial to flash S500i to w580i
or u just copy my tut and make necessary changes !! tht would be easier in case u don't have time !

hey what abt the radio ?? is that working ??

man i think now u lost those wonderful pic and themes in s500i right ??
don't worry
download any FS of s500i and extract its contents and copy the themes to M2 card !!

u did not back up GDFS ?? its not a problem really
but it still a problem yaar.. its just like this man
i don't think XS++ will fail u ! esp db2020 phones.. but incase when you are flashing and win xp hangs or loose cable then ur goin to face problems
but don't worry this won't happen if u take care !

digitzen you are one among the firsts on earth to flash s500i to w580i !! be proud !
this is a new phone just out in market

Hi Akshay ..... :-(

Something just went wrong with my k550i modded w610 camera ......

*rapidshare.com/files/57588521/DSC01408.jpg
I am using the stock k550i drivers ..... think my camera module has gone bad ....

Now i think the only solution is to revert back to the k550i FS and MAIN and take the phone to a SE service centre :-(

Akshay pls could u giv me some solutions ????

else I have the k550i FS file ...... could u giv me the link to K550i MAIN file (
.mbn) ..... can i revert back to k550i FS and MAIN easily ???

Please reply ...... worried here

that happened to me also !!
u a firefox user ??

install Flash player...for internet explorer and for windows !

and then restart computer ! this worked for me !!!

kelace lets talk on yahoo..
hv put my alias in my digit forum profile !

i saw those pic... i don't know why !
it can't be due to flashing... or may be its due to bad camera drivers
w610i and k550i camera drivers are exactly the same...
the same camera driver file is put in w610i and k550i FS by SE

when did that problem occur ?
put back original camera drivers extracted from an k500i or w610i FS and see wht hppns

try to clean the camera lens... or just see if there is a scrath on the lens ??

Re:Wanted Flash solution for Z530i

Akshay, can u give me a complete tutorial to unlock(flash) a Z530i(similar to the K550i - W610i tutorial) for better performance and hi-quality sound. After seeind my "CYBER-WALK550i", even my dad :twisted:

wants to upgrade his phone.

If this helps, Z530i is very similar to W300i , Z550i..........

i'm counting on you :wink:

.

well the radio isnt working the player just searches for the stations . i really dont miss the themes from s500i i like w580i s looks . and akshay what if i want to revert back to s500i what can i do ?

as expected.. i think it need a radio tuner built inside !
s500i should have had a radio as w580i ! then it would have been great !!!
but still ur phone is w580i !!

any other bugs ?

to revert just use SEUS to flash main !
then flash FS and cust pack using XS++

or do everything with XS++

or u can download files from IPROTEBE and flash back using XS++ !!!!!!!! ( all main fs and cust pack )

lemme see

u give me some info on that phone by connecting it to XS++ and see the log file..
also what phone is it similar too ?

well now i know that they have different display technologies... so its goin be a bumpy ride flashing it to other phone...
but u can mod it...

paarth's suggestion has now been added to acoustics section !!!!!!!!!!!

hello!
I have K550im and I want to flash as you mention in the tutor. So I have a couple of questions I'm being concerned of...

1)
Can I follow the same procedure as u did with K550i? I don't care at all about i-mode (furthermore I'm trying to get rid of it but my provider doesnt support a flashing procedure for this to change th cellphone from K550im to K550i)... So is it gonna work in my K550im...

2)
I'm living in Greece and I certainly want having a greek GUI and of course support for Greek fonts (in messages, phonebook, calendar, etc)... Is these a part of the customization pack?

Thank you

and a huge "bravo" for your tutor and "support" to all of us!!

hey u had to use an w610i FS which has Swedish language !!

sorry i thought English is the main communication language everywhere in EUROPE... i did not know that they use their country language in Cellphones !

the FS that i give in tut are Central Europe and APAC !

if you get the FS that u wanted.. its very easy..
just reflash only FS....try searching it on iprotebe and 4shared and

rapidshare .. someone might have uploaded it... !
you get all on topsony.. but i don't have access to it...

Using this list find out in which FS u might get ur language files

ok i see that generic eupore four has swedish language...!

incase you did not get the FS for your region then see the tut on how to add languages.... in updates section
try it out.. if that does not work.. then we have to get it done from some one form TOP SONY...

basically the tut is alright for all db2020 phones with CID 52
and if that imode phone is CID 52 u can flash it..

and i hope u don't have language problems... !!!!

now am going to add this language prob in main tut.. thanks for bringing it up !!!!!

only differences in many FS is the language files...!

and what is imode ? do imode phones need some advanced hardware ?
first flash only main and start phone and see.... if all is ok then flash FS also
in case not ok don't flash FS flash back Main using SEUS
and don't worry flash process won't harm the phone.... !
in case of bad flash.. phone will hang during operations.... !

what a luck

*www.iprotebe.cz/download/W610_R1KG001_FS_EUROPE_4_RED52.rar.html

u get europe 4 FS in iprotebe !1 check it out !!!1
but its a bit old.. but its all fine to use it !

*rapidshare.com/files/35810579/W610_R1KG001_FS_EUROPE_4_RED52.rar

this is another link to europe 4 fs ! an fs with swedisn language i suppose..

you get all on topsony.. but i don't have access to it...

Using this list find out in which FS u might get ur language files

ok i see that generic eupore four has swedish language...!

incase you did not get the FS for your region then see the tut on how to add languages.... in updates section
try it out.. if that does not work.. then we have to get it done from some one form TOP SONY...

basically the tut is alright for all db2020 phones with CID 52
and if that imode phone is CID 52 u can flash it..

and i hope u don't have language problems... !!!!

now am going to add this language prob in main tut.. thanks for bringing it up !!!!!

only differences in many FS is the language files...!

and what is imode ? do imode phones need some advanced hardware ?
first flash only main and start phone and see.... if all is ok then flash FS also
in case not ok don't flash FS flash back Main using SEUS
and don't worry flash process won't harm the phone.... !
in case of bad flash.. phone will hang during operations.... !

what a luck

*www.iprotebe.cz/download/W610_R1KG001_FS_EUROPE_4_RED52.rar.html

u get europe 4 FS in iprotebe !1 check it out !!!1
but its a bit old.. but its all fine to use it !

*rapidshare.com/files/35810579/W610_R1KG001_FS_EUROPE_4_RED52.rar

this is another link to europe 4 fs ! an fs with swedisn language i suppose..

Hi!

I flashed the FS with the above verison, and i now have T9 swedish, thats great

, but not the swedish system language, I can only choose between english and "acc. to sim" in the language setting. Why? I have edit the customize.xml, with - <allowed-language>sv</allowed-language> -, but that did't do it.. Maby im doing the wrong way..

-- This is the files i used when i flashed --

W610_R6BC002_MAIN_GENERIC_NA_RED52.mbn -> for the main
W610_R1KG001_FS_EUROPE_4_RED52.fbn -> for the FS
w610_custom_pack.zip -> for the customizion

menu>>settings>>language>>phone language >> select swedish..

hopefully u hv added that line
<allowed-language>sv</allowed-language>

in correct place in customize.xml

and i hope this works !!!!

hey wait what i said is already not working.. let me see into an FS now... sorry did not read properly

Nope - The only options i have there is : Accord. to SIM and English, no other to choose from.

This is the customize.xml file i have:

Thanks in advance

make it small only..

and remove one of the lines
may be remove this
<allowed-language>sk</allowed-language>

extract that europe 4 FS and see if it has sv.lng in it..

this worked for me atleast.. i hv all languages to select in my phone in settings......

if things work out.. then let me know
if not.. give me some time... u also try to think how to do so.

right... sv.lng is the swedish language then
i don't understand really why.. because u hv a swedish FS and everything is ok.. still not gettin that langauge..

talk to jommarn(thai) and fatez( italian ) they know more abt it..
coz they too had lanugage probs and they hv fixed it...

or do u really now need at sweden cust pack..

hardly any differences in cust packs.. except those few lines

there is this TPA\SYSTEM\LANGUAGE\*****

try to put sv.lng and sv.t9 there also

well t9 is working fine... interesting..but no language.

i flashed the hong kong firmware... can read traditional chinese.. but the writing option is only in english... where is the chinese??!?

^^^
'settings > general > language > enable chinese' then goto
'messages > write new message > more > writing language > select chinese.

yes infra is right..
when u got right FS and correct cust pack.. u will get ur language..

ppl report broken links... if anyy

infra_red_dude said:
^^^

i selected chinese traditional (Hong Kong Area)

then when i start write new message > more > writing language there is no chinese.. only -English
- abc
- 123

could it be because i flashed the MAIN with w610_R6BC002_MAIN_GENERIC_NA_RED52?

or does this have anything to do with custpacks

^^^ yes, you'll need the region specific MAIN.

M

oh..... i see... does anybody by anychance have a w610 R6BC002 HONG KONG MAIN RED52????

oops i forgot...
for China there is separate MAIN
u can get it here

*forums.se-nse.net/index.php?showtopic=10984

but for all other countries its the GENERIC main..!!

M

does it matter if my fone is R6BC002 and i flash it with W610_R1JD001_MAIN_CHINA_RED52.rar ??

^^^ you may lose out on some features (refer the changelog for the list). btw, whatever MAIN you use should be supplemented wid proper FS and customisation. the system wide language is present in the main firmware. FS is just the inbuilt file system containing all the files for the phone. customisation is more like adding language and operator specific support.

M

that means i must use a R6BC002 MAIN?

^^ no just use a good MAIN
u can later use any FS..
if u get probs.. then its better to hv same versions of FS and MAIN

R6BC002 try to find on net using google search...
or try asking.. that one person who helped u last time.....
if u luck u might get... but don't force him much... he must be busy

try to get a combo pack of FS and MAIN on IPROTEBE....
who know u might be lucky

try www.4shared.com just use the search in there for w610i and u will get everything releated to w610i

then also try this folders

*xsse.4shared.com/

The password is "se-nse" (without quotes)

*www.4shared.com/dir/1987194/e7af16e0/Firmwares.html

I wanted german, and it was the FS with german language, but now i flashed, i have walkman, everything nice and good, but i have no german language.

wtf? I tried to extract the LNG file with main2raw and s..tool4.exe, but there was an error.

Has one of you the German LNG file, plz. So that i update my custpack?

THX A LOT,
Tarik

thankss!! you helped me alot

now i can read and write chinese in my k550i..

what else can we do to k550i other than acoustics, walkman, flash menus, walkman skins

@ matt
right now those are the only things. wait for sometime ppl will surely come up wid improved cam drivers (like that of k750i/w810/w800i).

@tarik
what about the MAIN and custpack? you need german support in that.

hello!
I have K550im and I want to flash as you mention in the tutor. So I have a couple of questions I'm being concerned of...

1)
Can I follow the same procedure as u did with K550i? I don't care at all about i-mode (furthermore I'm trying to get rid of it but my provider doesnt support a flashing procedure for this to change th cellphone from K550im to K550i)... So is it gonna work in my K550im...

2)
I'm living in Greece and I certainly want having a greek GUI and of course support for Greek fonts (in messages, phonebook, calendar, etc)... Is these a part of the customization pack?

Thank you

and a huge "bravo" for your tutor and "support" to all of us!!

1)Use your DCU-60 USB cable and you can flash your k550im with a k550 FS or w610 FS. I don't think it should be any problem.

2)you gotta find a Greek MAIN, Greek FS, and a Greek custpack

Hgetis said:
hello akshay... what about my questions? can you give me some help..?

ok here goes again
flash only Main First !! and start phone...
if everything goes right.. then flash FS with greek language.. !
and a Custpack with allowed language greek line.. u can add that line

incase some probs just flash back to k550im using SEUS

as u see i was just worried about your imode functionality..
if that's not a prob then flash on...

can u explain me more about imode

99% your flashing is goning to be successful and your phone will work great but just a note..

incase u did not get an FS with greek langauge for free.. u can get it from topsony for 2 euro..
and then use it !! also use a greek cust pack for ease... !!

its not necessary to flash an w610i FS.... u can flash walkman skins and flash menu
only thing is u phone will show k550im in phone status.. because you have not flashed FS.
but i recommed to flash FS.. that is u get FS with greece language

for my country English is the operational language.... so for us any FS willl do because all FS have english as default..

hey k550i w610i have only GENERIC Main for all countries in the world.. but hv different FS for each region.. and in FS only language files differ and nothing else .. everything is same !!

only for chinese there is a separate MAIN !!!
and yes we need custpack also.. but we can create one.. easily... its all about removing a line and adding a new line !

thx a lot,
now i`ve got school, after school i look again.

desman is from germany and he has fixed his german language problems

what i asked him to do is.. use an Europe 2 w610i FS.. which has german language..
and it worked for him
yes u hv to edit a lil bit in customize.xml to enable it....

do ask him what he did...

thank you dude!
I really appreciate your help...!

About i-mode... for me is just a crap... I never use it and I don't want it... It locks some features in the phone, such as receiving jar files, etc. By the way it never asks permission to connect to providers server and it keeps charging me for nothing... Maybe I don't know how to use it, but maybe it's really just crap... Anyway I tried a lot getting rid of it with negative results... So i think this is the time flashing my phone and put i-mode in "trash"...!

Two more questions about the proccedure! Sorry for my novice stupidity but I'm trying to figure out how things are going here...

Firstly, I should use the W610i Main -plus- W610i Greek FS -plus- Greek custom pack! did I understand it right??

Secondly, could you give me please a link to topsony's Greek FS? coz despite searching I couldn't locate it...excactly!!

Thanks again akshay!!

yes you are right... u hv to use Mediterranean FS and it has greek language files in it...

we already hv Main
and which language do u use ?? if english use any FS...

at topsony.. u hv to buy premium download account for 2 euro and then download them... its validity if 1 full month.. !

if u can buy it then plzz do and download all FS and custpack and upload them for us on the internet...

or try asking fatez if u are lucky he will hv free time and he can do it..

or u can Use any FS and then add greek langauge later... this might work for u or not.. u hv to try.. i hv put up in tut on about how to add extraa languages..

unfortunately many FS are not available for free download on internet... bad for many ppl in country where english is not popular..

*www.topsony.com/

wait.. is u r phone locked to operator ??

hmm from did w800 come into action now.......
in such a case where such big problems occour like no camera working then just reflash entire FS and Main !!!!

don't use XS++ v 2.0 ! released but its still beta testing.. and gbrooks is giving it its finishing touches..
1.6.8 has been tested lots of times and you used it ?? it works right ??

XS++ hangs in between and your phone is still alive.. that is great news !!
please tell me more about this.....explain ...
what error does XS++ gives when it hangs...
and what messages it throws out when you try to interrupt it or shut it down !!!

hey can u plzz get the XS++ 2.0 logs
it will be very help ful !

what do u mean by reflash ....
1. is it SEUS....SEUS download installed then it downloads application updates which took more that 1hr and now its checking for updates ... howw long will it take
2. or is it flashing with main.mbn or fs.fbn

Thanks!!! I flashed the FS from iprotebe and everything works now... Well originally I wanted to modify my dad's K550, but later my brother who has a W800 insisted that I do something abt it too... So I just tried Camdrivers given at esato forums...

^^ hey thanks..
it might be a bug in XS++ v2.0
it might have been fixed in new release of XS++ 2.0
or as always it can be cable lost connection

H

Has there been a new release of XS++ v2 in the last 2 days??? That's because I tried it 2 days back only... And I can say that the connection was not lost as I tried atleast 10 times and it hanged at the same place everytime...

oh god.. not that problem...
was this the first time u switched it off ??
or the first time it got switched off ??

and if u take that phone to service center then there are high chances that u might get replacement... i hope luck favours u..
atleast a guy in europe got replacement for same problem....for w580i..
he flashed his w580i with mostly the latest Main that u used i suppose..

tell me which version of Main and FS u used ??

try to flash it using Sony Ericsson Update Service..
i mean try to update it.. and u get clear instructions

then try connecting it to XS++ and give me its log let me see it..
i will ask other ppl also.. who have flashed s500i to w580i

its got something to do with EROM problems in w580i and s500i and with that latest main R6bc002..

and don't worry abt service center guys.. they will fix to for free mostly..
because they can't start the phone to see that u flashed to w580i...
in case they got to know u simply tell u did nothing but only update phone using SEUS... !

D

are you sure nothing it can be fixed .

don't know you have to try...
what else did u try now ??
that phone w580i has some problems...

does XS++ detect it ?? and what about SEUS did u try it out ??

D

nothing its not switching at all ... and not connecting with xs++

what if they void warranty telling that i flashed my phone ..

which city do u live in ???
warranty does go void.. but most of times it does not... they will fix it for free...

just goto service center and behave as though u don't know what happened...
u tell them that phone all of a sudden got shut down..
if they ask anything u tell u don't know.. just tell all u did was update your phone with SEUS..

they will reflash with their software and fix it.. or give replacement.. mostly...
incase they know about flashing of w580i which i think is unlikely then also they might fix for free.. it all depends on the service centre...

D

chennai

k

chennai that's very good...
goto a pretty descent service center...
don't goto a high end or a low end service center... goto to something in between... !

mean while i will see what can be done.. ! why does that prob occurs..!

D

please see what can be done .

hey digitzen one of the fellow on se-nse suggest recharge battery
i don't know if this might work..sounds trivial..give it a try.. lets hope for more replies from people who faced this same problem..
i hv posted it on se-nse.. lets see.. !!

try using a friends battery..

hey u hv another phone right ?? mean while to use.. to sms and make calls ??

@akshay, does k550i have 3 speakers like w810i ? and is sound also same in k550i....

did u find any difference in both phones ?

i dunno if w810i has 3 speakers...
one of my friend says it has 3 speakers...
and one guy *techgenius* on this forum says its got only 1...

w810i has got great camera.. much better music quality ...
k550i does not great camera in low light.. it bad..
its great only in day time...
k550i music is good only with good earphones.. which u must buy separately..
k550i does not have walkman.. so u must flash to w610i u get walkman 2
where as w810i has walkman 1 ...

w810i comes bundled with great earphones hpm 70
where as k550i comes with crap hpm 62
w810i also comes with superb MPS 60 stereo speakers....

and most importantly.. for me k550i is SLIM !!!!!!!
k550i has got much better spec sheet.. apart from bad cam and lil bad music compared to w810i

but if slim does not matter then go for w810i !!

@digitzen
SEUS won't work coz now it'll think that ur s500i is now a w580i. i think you should try again wid XS++ on a different computer wid a different cable. you should be able to flash it to the original s500i firmware.

w810i doesn't haf 3 speakers. its just 1 onboard speaker. it was only w550i that had 3 speakers (for the surround mode).

hey i recharged fully and tried opening in xs++ it said failed to open port . but tried opening with 2+5 pressed it said usb device in the system .

09:57:29| Protocol Version: 3.1
09:59:41| Disconnected... Unplug the phone
09:59:46| Shutting down...

and it said port opened .

i suggest you remove the usb flash drivers. then install them again and try.

D

After flashing to w610i, are there any problems like slow opening of applications, etc.?

D

i just dropped it in the service centre . and they told me to call tomo .

i see theire is 2 min 12 Sec gap between 09:57:29 and 09:59:41.. what happened in between ?? no response ??

ppl who tried to update w580i EROM had same problems... !
some SE EROMs have this problems..

damn it..we should have taken caution before flashing it.. !

let us all know what the service center guys had to say about the phone.. !
it will be very helpful...

dude sorry for ur phone's death...! this flashing of s500i to w580i has not been tried by many...
we all know its possible to flash.. and had no idea what problem could be caused...
all db2020 and CID52 phones can be flashed easily and with no problems.. generally..

its because of corrupt Main and EROM problems...
and a gdfs backup would have been nice....!!!!!

read this topic..

and don't forget to let us know the service center guys reply..

no buddy no such problems..a k550i flashed to w610i works flawlessly !!!!!!!

Re: Best acoustic drivers for K550i:Original W900i acoustics

paarth said:
After playing for long time with all the available FSX acoustics settings in XS++, i can conclude that "the original W900 acoustics" available at IPROTEBE.com are the best for K550i....even better than the original W880i or K790i(I have checked and compared W900i accu with W880i and K790i)
Following your tutorial i have just converted my dumb-music playing cybershot(K550i) into a musical monster. The music just doesn't stop now.

dude insanely wrong yaar... hey u still using last .zapf acoustics and not w900 because those are apf format..
those apf of w900 are not being used they are sitting in FS only as junk files !

i checked it out just now !!!!!!! infact my friend rutwik told me do soo.!!

@ akshay,

thanks for the tutorial!!! i have just flashed my k550 to w610! really great! i was very afraid at first... hands shakin' and sweating... fingers crossed!!!... after a few second... wala!! an instant W610... thanks again for the free knowledge....

thumbs-up for you....

where u from ?? and how u got all the resources and how did u get to know abt this tut ??

@ all !

XS++ 2.0 has been released and its even more easier to use...
in that the step where u select break XS has been removed
and now it supports GDFS back up.. which means we don't have to use the dangerous SeTool 2 lite.

how would you back up GDFS if you got k550i FS and w610 MAIN???

now i did back up my GDFS using XS++ v2.2 it works great flawlessly

but SETOOL 2 lite failed me once... thankfully my phone survived !

S

@ akshay...

I'm from philippines... and now i have done it the full W610 FS, i have learned about this tut when i searched google "k550 to w610" i downloaded all files in your tutorial links...

At first i had problems with the custompacks in your link on your tut (the one in the rapidshare), still error after flashing... i was so tense and afraid my phone has problems... so i downloaded the one in iProTebe...
HB1-06_Gen_CDA102568_207_R2A_GENERIC_CENT_EUROPE.zip
it worked well... finally with a deep breath...

i have one more question... regarding flashing of flash menus... is this a totally new own_custpack folder or i use this - "HB1-06_Gen_CDA102568_207_R2A_GENERIC_CENT_EUROPE.zip" then add the flash folder? did you understand my question? if not i will rephrase my question...

i did not understand your question that much....
now if your phone is starting without that customization error..
then just proceed !! and send flash menu to phone's file system !!

and don't worry about cust packs u can use any cust pack for any phone..
only thing is u must add line of the language that u want in customize.xml !!

if u use english then u won't have problems..!

what's with the rapidshare link ?? its not working ? i will fix it today !

S

@ akshay

the rapidshare link is not broken but the downloaded file is not working for me...

ok i will rephrase my question... here goes... tell me which procedure to use?

PROCEDURE A
1. create "own_custpack" folder in the XS++.exe directory.
2. unzip "HB1-06_Gen_CDA102568_207_R2A_GENERIC_CENT_EUROPE.zip" in the own_custpack folder.
3. open "own_custpack" folder.
4. open "tpa" folder.
5. open "preset" folder.
6. In "peset" folder create "system" folder.
7. open "system" folder and create "desktop" folder.
8. open "desktop" folder and create flash folder.
9. open "flash" folder and paste all .swf files you want.
10. then we flash using xs++

PROCEDURE B
1. create "own_custpack" folder in the XS++.exe directory.
2. open "own_custpack" folder and create "tpa" folder.
3. open "tpa" folder and create "preset" folder.
4. open "preset" folder and create "system" folder.
5. open "system" folder and create "desktop" folder.
6. open "desktop" folder and create flash folder.
7. open "flash" folder and paste all .swf files you want.
8. then we flash using xs++

Please tell me, is it procedure A or B?? I hope you can help me out...

by the way, what country are you from? Thanks in advance... :-D

Re: Best acoustic drivers for K550i:Original W900i acoustics

FSX just uploads anything to Phone's Flash Memory that is in files_to_upload dir

and all new db2020 phones can read only zapf acoustics..!
and u can't do much..u can't convert apf to zapf.. even if u convert them the phone won't understand them...!

@ akshay

Ok... I did procedure B, after flashing and turned on the phone cant find the flash menus anywhere... I attached the log file so you could verify if my procedure is correct....

also my phone is flashed to w610 main and w610 FS.... my question is can i re-flash it back to k550 FS?

hey dude ... u can't see the flash menu in the phone...

u must copy the correspoding .thm files to M2 card and use those theme..
those theme will search the FS for .swf and if available it will set it up..

everything is correct i have seen ur log !

first of all, thanks very much for this great tut.
second, i tried it, and after many corrupted firmwares(as i wanted one that support arabic which i couldn't find here) i turned my k550i into w610i(first time with w610 main and k550 fs, and second with w610 main and fs)
after trying it, i decided to go back to the original k550, everything worked fine, but the vedio stops playing its preview when choosing a thumbnail like it did before, so is this sth with my new firmware(Central Asia) as my old one was(Middle East / North Africa)?
so, what can i do to restore the vedio preview?

Akshay, so how can i delete and removed those trash apf inside my phone.

^^ hey don't worry about it .. its ok..!

it won't affect phone in any way..
sorry i should have checked it before i mentioned it my tut !

u can delete using FSX but there u must type path names manually.. which is boring..!!

if u really want to delete ( which is not really necessary )
u can use FAR manager and SEFP !

this tut explains how to use FAR

first i flash it to w610i, worked fine. after two days i tried to flash it again to k550, the flash proces work fine, whithout erors, but when i tried to turnit on the problemes apears ( scz me english)
- i dont have all the logs, i erased them
- xs++ detect me phone, i can flash me phone whit it but when turn on the phone the problems apear again, what ever the firmware is: k550 or w610

Looks like lotsa probs wid the GDFS. Just do everything over again. Use the correct files. You said you were trying to flash it back to K550i but then what is this in the log:

17:20:48| Warning: IMEI name does not match GDFS name (IMEI:NULL GDFS:W610)

Some mismatch for sure!!! Check all the files again. Ensure you are using the correct files.

no w810i has much better speakers..
and also much better camera.. best in 2 MP category.
but its not slim.. a big disadvatage for me..

as long as there is no bugs, thats fine with me, thanks for you help

hey dude ... u can't see the flash menu in the phone...

u must copy the correspoding .thm files to M2 card and use those theme..
those theme will search the FS for .swf and if available it will set it up..

everything is correct i have seen ur log !

Hehe...

... silly me, now flash menus working... sorry... thanks anyway.... this is really fun.... thumbs up for you!!!

^^ hey don't worry about it .. its ok..!

it won't affect phone in any way..
sorry i should have checked it before i mentioned it my tut !

u can delete using FSX but there u must type path names manually.. which is boring..!!

if u really want to delete ( which is not really necessary )
u can use FAR manager and SEFP !

this tut explains how to use FAR

*www.esato.com/board/viewtopic.php?topic=125323

another tut

well its not a bug.. it might be sony has removed that feature in new Firmware..

not much.... but its better to use w610i FS and u will have a complete w610i phone..

acoustics might vary.. pics and ringtones.. internal settings.. behaviour

w610i FS means phone behaves as w610i externally also..
Main is the internal software......

oh yes that link i guess i got..will give wait.. i hv to search..

A big thanx to you of course for the excellent tutor!

Just a question... is there any way to get back the feature of the left message button on k550im's keypad working for messages again and not for the walkman application? I flash to w610i main, and mediteranean fs and custpack..

^^ awesome !! yes linking them in First Page.. now..

u should have created 4shared folder of yours

like example *cybershot.4shared.com/

ok i added link to ur post.. hey well put all new links in the same post by editing !!

yes that left button i will see into it..

left softkey is now for walkman.. ! ( this is a bit complicated to change..)

left button on D pad u can set it for messages in menu >>general settings >> shortcuts

yeah i know but it's my first time i ve ever used 4shared... so, i'll try that some time!

Hi Akshay,
In some posts, i saw that after flashing to w610 (both MAIN and FS), the RADIO is missing in the main MENU. Is it true?
Then how to get it on the main menu?

^^ well actually w610i does not have radio in menu

w610i has radio in entertainment..!

in a phone with w610i main and k550i FS

u won't have radio option in Half of the Flash Menus ( which is something cool and u want to use remember ?? )

but u will have the radio option in Menu when using Normal Theme...( and normal themes are boring )

One new FS has been uploaded! Check here!

Anyone who needs FS, cust packs, or main for every phone I will be able to upload it until tomorrow! so inform me as soon as possible!

Note:
There is quite big collection of jar games and some apps.. anyone would like them just send me a PM to give him link and pass!

Subnote: pass changes from time to time...!

hey akshay!

i hv just flash some new SWFs in my phone but i coulcn't understand excactly how do i integrate them with themes so i can select them... give some help here!

about the acoustics.. what excatly is the difference from k550i's original zapfs? coz i didnt noticed any...

acoustics ... i don't think there is difference between w610i and k550i
in w880i acoustics there is a difference ..that's what it seems from music quality..!

to integrate flash menu .swf and theme.thm

download tugzip *www.tugzip.com

then rename the theme.thm to theme.tar
then u can extract its contents using tugzip !

or u can use 7zip to extract the theme.thm !

there will be a file called skin.xml ..
open that in notepad !

and edit this line ( u search for this " Desktop_style" using search in notepad !

<Desktop_style Type="File" Source="ScribbleBeat.png"/>

to like this

<Desktop_style Type="File" Source="Your Choice.swf"/>

this this picture..!

*www.picoodle.com/view.php?img=/9/10/13/f_safm_1b11dbb.jpg&srv=img32

also u can download this and see.. its given even more clearly
actually to rename theme.thm to theme.tar u must have enabled showing of extension in windows folder options !
if not then u must extract using 7zip

and then after wards u must pack it using tugzip as a tar archive only !

try download this flash tut which is actually easy
*www.esnips.com/doc/15dea887-6c7c-4571-8a12-b3a98a5b8b7e/Convert-to-Theme-to-Flash-menu

also u can follow it in here..!

*forums.se-nse.net/index.php?showtopic=16445

and download Central Europe and Central Asia FS ( its got arabic ) also cust packs

man download the same k550i FS also.. why waste the download quota !

I come from Latvia (Europe, Baltic) and I bought brand new phone without operator protection or like that. I can get in phone any SIM.
When I try update from WAP it said "You don't need no updates. Your phone is up to date"

P.S.
Please tell me what i need push in XS++ to complete go in W610i in one step (without turn in and off)

P.S.S.
How I can get Latvian language (not T9, just latvian) in my phone after flash (if i can flash

) with custPack or FS. And if i understand wright then after complete flash to w610i, i need choose w610i custPacks and FS with region and language?

I try with SEUS too but that say the same what WAP.
And i find Baltic custpack and FS. Do i need flash with both? And do i need take W610i custpack and FS to flash to W610i? If i'm thinking wright then that's what i'm need to do!

Thankyou _a_s_h_k_a_y_! You're good guy and i don't run !

yes cool.. until instructions don't do anything with XS++ .. just hold and wait..

keep fingers crossed...! hope you are lucky and u can upgrade to CID52

well guys unfortunatelly I cannot upload more FSes for now due to reasons that i cannot explain in the forum! I will try again a few days later I hope!!

I ve already uploaded enough stuff to help many people! If there is s.o. who cannot find what he wants just send me a PM to keep it in mind and see what I can do for him/her!

fitz said:

yes it can be modded...
first update using SEUS..! because CID52 modding is always better..

then i think you can flash it to w200i but u might loose bluetooth..
and phone might crash some times.. well if wait then we can find more about this and then see what can be done...!!

and more over i don't think u can use zapf for this k320...
its db2010 so i think you must use apf

now am busy for 2-3 days.. u goto se-nse and post there your query..
some one will help u.. i will also see it soon ...

yes.... there are two ways..

you can use FSX to delete files
or u can use FAR manager ..

a tutorial on how to use FAR Manger is going to come... hopefully by 3 days..!

now i am free for next week.. you can expect hell lots of updates !!!!!!
and more flashing tutorials for other phones..!

I try with SEUS too but that say the same what WAP.
And i find Baltic custpack and FS. Do i need flash with both? And do i need take W610i custpack and FS to flash to W610i? If i'm thinking wright then that's what i'm need to do!

Thankyou _a_s_h_k_a_y_! You're good guy and i don't run !

Download woton client and update your phone CID !!

updating EROM is free with woton.. !!!!!!

using XS++ 2.2 u can do it..! but i don't know how because my phone is already CID 52

I added that one too!

Of course I upload it, in my 4shared account coz anyone who wants it, hasn't to register there as he must do at iprotebe.cz! of course is the same file!

check my post!

i hope u are not reffering to upload blank files to the file . . . somthing more perhaps ? ..

& yup . .. a good tutorial for FAR management would be appreciated.

& also in this tutorial u could mention what the FS , MS packs full form are & what happens... i know abt this...i'm sure many new people would be willing to know more .

cheers!

thanks hgetis..!

new updates coming today

i have added how to use far manager on post 21

and then now on with new acoustics..

sorry but is this question goes to me?

coz i couldn't understand what u mean!..

Hgetis said:

oh no..this was directed towards aks/

what i meant was .. in various forums i saw people uploading blank files to their phones to overwrite the older files , which gives almost the same effect as deleting .. cause blank files occupy hardly any space.
But technically speaking that is a bad routine...if i come across any such people i personally LOL over them..

& whats the use of GDFS ? .. i backed it up .. will i ever use it ?

Hi guys!
Thanx akshay! I've flashed my k550 to w610! though I did it with setool, but your tutorial was of much help (I read it like four times before deciding to do it ^^'). All went right, i was so nervous at the begining! xD

@girishvkrai: I think in case that something goes wrong in the flashing, the only way to revive your phone is with that back up, so save it with your life (?) xD*www.thinkdigit.com/forum/member.php?u=31382

I have a few questions:
can I use SEUS to update my phone now that i've flashed it to w610?
what will happen if i restore the gdfs i backed up before flashing?

does anyone know what the brand cybershot means with k550? is because the soft of k550 is optimized for photos? or may be the camera is phisically better than that of the w610?

thanks!

oh, yes, i'm from argentina and used a w610's main and fs that are cid51 i found in another forum ^^

F

thanks bro..i already try da driver..its fine..wanna ask another thing,i.e ,can i flash to z530i? and which phone can i flashed to?

You can now use SEUS to update your phone.. no problem..!
SEUS will decide phone name on IMEI.. so it detects your phone as k550i
and will flash the latest k550i main in..

it will leave the FS untouched

and i want to know how you flashed your CID 51 phone
please tell me.. i don't know if CID51 flashing on SeTool 2 lite works well.. that's why...

then it will become CID52 phone
then flash with a w610i Main and w610i FS

z530i can't be flashed. .it can be customized..

Hi All,

My name is Diego. I bought of ebay a debranded unlock w610i. I read. read and read and I modded the cell only by uploading a few flash themes.

Now the problem I have is that I do not have a Spanish writing Language nor T9. I think the firmware is a singapore one.
Since I do not want to flash. (there is no point, cell is already debranded)

I download _W610_R6BC002_FS_AMERICA_2_RED52.raw and got the T9 and Spanish Language.

The problem that I have now is. How do I go by editing the XML file that is already in the phone?
I do not want to loose english as a writing language and I dont care much about the other ones either, but that wouldnt be the safest? instead of creating your own xml?

Regards,

Diego

great tut awesome work

i would like to know what all languaes you wanted.. u have mentioned only spanish..! u must edit customize.xml and extract spanish files from w610i FS..

but first let me know what all languages u wanted..

1

a_k_s_h_a_y,

I just need spanish and english. I dont need the chinnesse and all the stuff that came.. tandarin and so on..

I manage to upload the t9 and the .lng. What I dont know is how to edit the customize.xml. When I tried to copy the file from far manager to the PC was blank..any ideas?

Regards,

Diego

^^

here this is America 2 cust pack.. its got a customize.xml with both english and spanish enabled..!

use this.. upload it using XS++ using own_custpack method.. its there in the tut..!
i hope u put the language files in correct places

and listen if this does not work.. then download america 2 FS and america 2 cust pack from hgetis collection and flash your FS using XS++.. this way u will surely get spanish and english

even a freshley installed windows doesnt help, so i think this error must be

clean install on a 2nd hdd, i dont know whats going on

no need for fs and cust pack ..its enough to flash this firmware, right?
and if i only flash the firmware all settings are kept in the phone?

Hey guys, i'm back!

Hey AK!
nice nice work !

Excuse me for the last time but the work is killing me!

I've flashed my k550 with latest frim R8 but i'havent mine language.

With Far (10x AK for ur nice guide) i have copied the it.lng and it.T9 into language directory and i have editet the custum menu to ability with my language.

But nothing new appear in language section.

What is the mistake?

Another question,..
Why i cannot copy with FAR a file from k550 to my pc? (the copies go fine but the file is 0byte)

thanks to all and good bye!!

if you flash only main then settings will remain

if u flash FS then u will loose everything like contacts and sms

u download My phone explorer and backup the ...
later u can put back everything in phone...!! easily

even the sms.. u can store on computer and put them back in phone..
also archive them on computer

hey fatez... u do one thing
after adding .T9 and LNG file using FAR Manager

delete the lng.lst and lng.dat files that are also in the tpa/preset/system/language directory

the restart phone and do Master Reset !!
this should work !!
after master reset those files will be created again with updated list and settings by the phone

i don't know... i hope the name of file is like en.t9 like all in small letters

also i hope u added <allowed-language>xy</allowed-language> in cust pack

where XY is italian language code .. for example English its EN

get that t9 and lng file from w610i Europe 5 FS.. it should work..hopefully because they are same phones.... lets not use language files from old phones
hey btw which FS did u want ??

k550i Europe 5 FS or w610i Europe 5 FS ???

For the custom pack i've used:
CUSTOMPACK.HB1-06_Gen_CDA102568_14_R8A_GENERIC_EUROPE_5
and into is menu with <allowed-language>it</allowed-language>

ok if you are flashing your phone with Europe 5 FS and Europe 5 cust pack then u automatically get Italian language...!
you not getting ?? some problem there ??

i think that method of adding language won't work on CID52 phones.. or may be
becuase you done everything correct...

^^ EROM CID Is 51.. !!! You Can't Flash Your Phone !! Now !!

It Must be CID 52 !!

XS++ does not support CID 51 Flash Loaders !!! STOP RIGHT HERE DON'T DO ANYTHING !

Try to Update with SEUS again..!
Is your phone locked or something ?? i mean you can't use other sim cards.. locked to operator ??

I think there are other ways to go CID 52 from CID 51..

Please Wait for 3 more days..! I will certainly get back to you !!

Untill then browse se-nse and learn more stuff...!!

and please don't try anything on your own !!

Tell me more about your cellphone and operator and the country you come form..! that information will help !

actually XS++ v2.2 can now make it CID52 but don't do it on your own because this has to be tested..!

awesome hgetis..!

i just cant update my EROM to 52 with seus, believe me, i've tried a lot of times, and i just dont know how to update with wotan server, i don't know how many credits do i need to update or anything

another thing, i've flash a previous phone, a k310i to w200, and everything worked great, except i coudnt browse from the phone again, i've lost the internet settings of that phone, will this happen to my k550 if i flash it to a w610i?

Nice to meet you again my buddy .
I'm sorry for long time.

OK. I just tell you something. I have same problem with fatez.
Now myphone using w610_R6CA001_MAIN_ORANGE_NA_RED52
and w610_R6CA001_FS_ORANGE_GEN_RED52
and CDA102568_102 of Thai. I used FAR to add Thai language and Chiness fonts from extract file of w610_FS_THAI and I deleted europe font and other language *.t9 and *.lg
Now my phone has only English and Thai.
And then when I saw new Firmware R8BA024.
I tyied flash new firmware R8BA024 with FS_EUrope coz it doesn't has FS Thai. I tried same with R6CA001 but it doesn't has Thai language in phone language but in writing language I have Thai. I tried many time to flash and add Thai in my phone with new firmware. It doesn't work.
and then I flash come back with R6CA001 and to add Thai in my phone again.
One time only I can use my language.

How do you think ??
I think coz GENERIC_NA can't add our language with myself.
Are I truth ???

i don't know.. the procudre to add langauge is the same
you must copy language files and delete lng.lst and lng.dat
and do master rest.. try this... if it does not work.. then use

use New Main and Old FS
now i have R8BA024 Main and R6BC002 FS.. its ok if FS and MAIN Don't match.. its not at all necessary !

J

@a_k_s_h_a_y
It's good idea. Before I try that I have a question.
your phone R8BA024 Main and R6BC002 FS... I want to know what version of main display current and java version in your phone ?
coz in R8a FW is 7.7 of java .
Thank you so much.

hey it works.. why are u worried
do u remember ?? when SEUS updates firmware it only changes Main..
leaves the FS intact ??

Java and display drivers are presend in FS... so its versions are the same as n R6BC002.. that is 7.7 ( edited... sorry.. its in main and fs..)

if we have to revert back to stock settings (k550i firmware) ... what is the procedure ? ..

without goin thru SEUS flash Main & then FS ? .. i dont think cust pack is required...or is it ? .. :/

just flash back using XS++
use k550i main
k550i FS..

i will soon upload M_EAST_AFRICA fs
this FS is used in all k550i sold in india
also give you appropriate FS..don't worry

hmm ok.. can u tell me what you actually did ??
i had read about that problem.. but did not know .. it was the same for you..!

*www.topsony.com/forum/showthread.php?t=4807

that guide gives u how to flash EROM

incase u decide to update EROM ..
let me know

i will download the latest EROM for k550i
and give it to u...

i don't know.. the procudre to add langauge is the same
you must copy language files and delete lng.lst and lng.dat
and do master rest.. try this... if it does not work.. then use

use New Main and Old FS
now i have R8BA024 Main and R6BC002 FS.. its ok if FS and MAIN Don't match.. its not at all necessary !

@ a_k_s_h_a_y

Hi dude, have you found the latest eprom yet? cause i went to wotanserver and tried to update my eprom and guess what? they charged me for the update, and i still have eprom 51, do they suck or what? now i am with the same eprom and with 7€ less!! i wont use those guys again, i rather try myself cause i wont charge myself for sucking...

that's real crap..

i lost the script to upgrade EROM... can u please wait.. ??

because lets not take risk...
i will try to find by 15 days.. or u try to get that from se-nse ....
by writing script u can upgrade EROM i guess...!

i got the FOTA EROM.... uploaded.. but flashing that might create problems because i don't know what will happen if u do that.. because i never tried it.. as i already have CID52 and i can't go back to CID51

hello folks!
i see movement in my collection (thanks to akshay's guidance) and in this thread! I'm very glad that i've helped some people!!

May i propose sth? I give one vote for this thread to be STICKY!! Well I spend a lot of time seeking it and i think that the job has been done here worths more than a sticky thread! Just for the notice to the mods of the forum!!

Flashing k550i to w610i !! Help me

Plz clear my doubts friends.

1) Plz give me link 4 Latest W610 main, W610 FS n W610i Custome packs. In X ++ 3 tutorial there is a link 4 every file. But 4 which flashing? I knw its in the tutorail but i got confused. Plz can u provide here again?

2) Akshay told me once that after completing W610i n later if i want get back my original K550i i have 2 use SEUS n then K550i FS. But in first page Akshay mentioned that After doing FS phone doest start (this time u can't start u r phone u will get an error because if you flash FS then you must customize it). So while getting my original K550i back only SEUS n K550i FS is inough? No need to customization? If no need then how my phone will starts?

3) I have lastes update of K550i software in my mobile. If i want complete W610 then doing update process again is necessary? & Cdi 52 also i have 2 do?

4) In X++ 3 Tutorial everything is fine but have some doubts regarding
- How to do CDi 52 through X++ 3 version?
- In main Step 4 (Customizing your phone) there is a 2nd step there is
v have 2 choose phone model. In pic Its K610i. So while converting my
K550i to complete W610 in this particular step which model i have 2
Choose? K550i or W610?

Plz give me ans step by step.
Thank u

dude.. do this.. download XS++
connect your phone... disconnect phone

copy and paste log there !!!!!!! i will see what CID it is..

and to go back to k550i just use XS++ don't use SEUS..
obviously if u flash FS then u must customize it.. no matter what.. simple logic !

no where in XS++ u wil get options to choose model
if get choose k550i anyway

I just want to copy w880 acoustic driver to my K550i (CID 52). Is it possible to do just that? I don't want to flash it to anything else.
I also read somewhere in this forum that you use Far manager to copy the w880 acoustic driver to ifs/..... in your phone and FLASH. Do I really have to COPY files and then exit or COPY files and then FLASH and exit.
Thank you.

well use own_custpack method to copy acoustics ...
see tutorial for more... customization part and flash menu part
just put acoustics in own_custpack\ifs\settings\acoustic\*** zapf here ****

and then flash it in.. use any version of XS++... now use 3
download from hgetis collection..

1) Plz give me link 4 Latest W610 main, W610 FS n W610i Custome packs. In X ++ 3 tutorial there is a link 4 every file. But 4 which flashing? I knw its in the tutorail but i got confused. Plz can u provide here again?

no latest FS ... only main.. its there everywhere again.. just see for it

2) Akshay told me once that after completing W610i n later if i want get back my original K550i i have 2 use SEUS n then K550i FS.

how many times to tell .. if you flash FS then customization is must
alll this flashing $hit applies for all sony ericsson phones no matter what model it is

3) I have lastes update of K550i software in my mobile. If i want complete W610 then doing update process again is necessary? & Cdi 52 also i have 2 do?

hey once phone is CID52.. its forever CID52.. no going back
more over i did not understand your question... you have k550i or k550i@w610i ??

4) In X++ 3 Tutorial everything is fine but have some doubts regarding

i have mentioned it right there.. the pics show k610i but you are using own_custpack.. where the hell do u have to select phone..
also XS++ automatically sets phone model.. except for custpacks

in there even if you choose w880 it will work.. as i said its same for all db2020 SE phones..

girishvkrai said:
i need to get a M2 card for a SE phone.. the price difference among shops are too much..i asked in one of my neighborhood shops..& he quoted 1000 for a 512 MB card & 1gb card for 1200(sony). & since i checked ebay.in for the same i could find 512 mb for ~650 & 1gb for ~950 . .

so i think the local prices must be lower..(bangalore)
where can i find these cards for IIIlr price ? i'm guessin national market..any other place?

M2 Card i think only in national market.. i don' know any other place..sorry

Everyone who can't update phone to cid52 using SEUS!
Here's step by step what i did.

1. Backup GDFS with xs++ 2.2
2. Copy backup folder in folder where's xs++ 3.0
3. Start xs++ 3.0, connect phone, when asked to upgrade to cid52 i click "yes"
4. When upgrading was over i closed xs++ 3.0 and start xs++ 2.2
5. With that i backup my GDFS again
6. And then i flashed my phone like said in tutorial with xs++ 2.2 because i was a little bit scared because xs++ 3.0 is BETA and it can work not properly
7. All files i upload with xs++ 3.0

P.S.
Please somebody say where can find flash menus. These (some of them) what in tutorial are without .thm files and i can't use those. Please help me!

3) OK u didnt understand my question? I said I have K550i cybershot mobile with latest updated firmware. So to flash W610i I have 2 again update my phone? By doing this i got CID52. But If updating again now, if get CID 52, then previously i updated my software na? so that time y i didnt get CID 52?

4) After Converting my K550i cybershot into complete W610i, in future if latest updated firmware of w610i released how can i update my mobile?

5) Dnt get irritate i got confused this question. According to u from complete w610i if i want K550i back then i have 2 use SEUS, FS n Custome pack. But in this SE-NSE forum (SE-NSE Forums > Firmware > Newbie Forum > Tutorial: Flashing K550i to W610i !, Using XS++ A Complete One Stop Guide) // )

They mentioned
(How to Revert back to k550i !

1) Use XS++ 2.2 and flash both k550i Main and k550i FS
2) Use SEUS to flash k550i Main and XS++ 2.2 to flash k550i FS)

So please help me.

Thank u.

Re: Thanks a lot Akshay

Yes... but first update phone using SEUS.. because it should be CID52... if it is CID52 already then good.. but still go for an update.. your phone's main will be updated to R6BC002 !
then flash only acoustics

@Everyone:

If any of you guys have any problems updating your CID51 to CID52 and you just cant update it, not everything is lost, you can still mod your phone to w610i using the w610i cid51 files, if you dont have them, i do have them, if you need them, ill send them to you. I only have them for america 2 region. It has Latin american spanish, English and portuguese languages

^^ hey luishawk upload those files to esnips
its free and nice.... and you account will never expire ! also no problem of waiting like in rapidshare !!

and you can mod your phone using FAR MANAGER and SEFP..
use it to upload flash menu and walkman skins and everything..!!
its very easy..
but you can't use XS++ ... may be in future you can use that !!

backlight ?? what's backlight ?? u mean the camera flash ?

I think backlight as what we call here is the light which illuminates the LCD display. His promblem seems to be a bug or something... I think a re-flash would help...

also I have already sucessfully removed my operator logo... I edited the layout.xml. it was already discussed in the se-nse forum... I think you have a post there and told them that their procedure did not work for you... but then someone replied to you and there it was when I tried it... "NO OPERATOR LOGO".... you just have to edit one number or you can download his edited xml file... maybe you can add this to you tut... I know some who would like to have their operator logo removed...

hahaha im sorry for the bad english but its hard to explain... our friend is right the "backlight" that i said is the light wich illuminates the lcd display.. that light wich the intensity is controled in BRIGHTNESS... after i updateded (SEUS)iv got this problem... well i tryed to update again but it doesnt work out... is SEMAJ right? will a reflash fix it? you can explain how can i do that or show me where i can find it??? you think the problem is in FS, MAIN or CDA????????thanks for the atention n sorry again for the english (im from brazil hehe)

oh ok.. try to reflash phone.. as you are saying that problem is after updating phone !!

download XS++ and flash it !!

if you are from brazil then i guess you can get all files from ORKUT k550i Community !!!
that community has a download section on 4shared
download k550 main and k550 America 2 FS and America 2 cust pack and follow this tutoiral to flash

or u can follow a tutorial presented in k550i orkut community !!

it may be firmware and FS problem.. if full reflash does not work then get LCD replaced from Sony Ericsson Service center.. they will replace only LCD..

in many cases full reflash will fix many problems

Here is the procedure he wrote in his post: open layout.xml then follow procedure in blue text:
All you need to do is to edit line 468 (in original file from W610) from:
<attr value="2"/> <attr value="174"/> <attr value="5"/> <attr value="26"/> <attr value="10"/> 
to:
<attr value="2"/> <attr value="174"/> <attr value="5"/> <attr value="-10"/> <attr value="10"/> 
Do not modify any other text.
That's all

Or use the attached layout.xml file to replace the file on the phone.

Complete Reflash Takes only 7 minutes

Complete Reflash Flashing Takes only 6 minutes on MY COMPUTER !!
See The Log and the time stamps..!

Let me know how much time it takes for you flash from k550i to w610i in one go !!

Change Main Menu Icons !!
Finally every thing's done and set !!

Thanks to kanwardeep he provided a modified k550menu ml and i just merged unequal parameters from it to a w610 menu ml

Tutorial Starts !!!!!!!

Shortcut way to change menu icons with out flashing over again !!

In Phone goto file manager goto other folder and then create a folder called menu and then inside menu create a folder live

like this ( create these folders in phone memory not memory card )
main menu>file manager>other>menu>live>

and in that live folder copy menu ml and icon files ( icon1_slected etc etc )

Use FAR MANAGER or XS++ to delete menu ml

1. Delete menu ml from tpa\preset\system\menu\

2. copy all 25 shortcuts to tpa\preset\system\menu\**here**

3. done !!

4. start phone enjoy !!

How to change icons easily later

Simply replace icon in phone memory with the icon that u want
u can download ready made icons lots of them

Now on camera will be known as Cybershot and Music Player will be known as Walkman.. because i have renamed both in Menu ml ..

remember these shortcut file u must upload to FS
tpa\preset\system\menu\**here**

Download all files from here including shortcuts from here

*www.esnips.com/web/akmenu

file names and what they are..

1.k550 custom menu >> this menu ml is for using custom icons ! for k550i ppl

2. w610 custom menu >> for custom icons .. this is for k550@w610 flashed phone

3.w610i original cybershot menu >>
camera renamed as cybershot rest everything is same .. this is not for custom icons

4.k550i original walkman menu >>media player renamed as walkman .. this is not for custom icons

5. k550i original menu and
6.w610i original menu are 100% original stuff .. from a factory phone !! lol

i hope all understood

for those who wanted to know how this works

see a preview
*img26.picoodle.com/img/img26/6/11/4/f_Urbanw710m_c262337.png

download urban icon packs.. its theme is also there
*www.esnips.com/doc/29bd3458-af50-4871-9378-286e342a50ee/Urban

i will soon share many other icon packs !!

We can create shortcuts to files present in FS
so we will place the shortcuts in FS and it will point to a file outside FS
and we make it point to files in free phone memory .. lol !

To new comers >> FS is File System !
To Write into Phone FS you must use XS++ or FAR MANAGER

this is part 1..

where we were creating the menu ml files and trying it out

list of what icon is what

icon1_selected.png -> Play now! or Operator Webpage
icon2_selected.png -> Internet services
icon3_selected.png -> Entertainment
icon4_selected.png -> Camera
icon5_selected.png -> Messages
icon6_selected.png -> Media Player
icon7_selected.png -> File manager
icon8_selected.png -> Contacts
icon9_selected.png -> Radio or Track id
icon10_selected.png -> Calls
icon11_selected.png -> Organizer
icon12_selected.png -> Settings

the same applies for icon unselected files !!

which menu ml are you using ??

for w610i flashed phone use w610i custom menu ml file from my esnips folder

anyway its very easy to do in case you are using shortcut method just copy menu ml to live folder

hii there !! was your phone locked to some operator ??

hold on lets try a different FS and Cust pack.. might work..
but i don't know much about SIM Locks !!

do u know in england which firmware is used in a factory w610i and k550i ??

ALSO NOTE SIM card might be damaged.. this happened to my old sim card..!
try another SIM
XS++ does not touch SIM Locks as far as i know

O2 is orange or something ?? of is that vodafone ?

S

Ok I'll try...

If i revert back to the Original K550 Main, FS & Cust Pack... will this shortcuts work (menu Icons)?... also can I change acoustic using Jpx or w880 acoustics with k550 firmware?

^^^ ok dats bad.. i had bad feeling that u had got it unlocked..

try to put in the GDFS backup that u had done before following my tutorial

i hope you had made a GDFS backup before flashing to w610i but after unlocking your k550i !!
now write back that GDFS
this should work...!

use XS++ 3.0 to write back GDFS..

all the best !!

if it does not then i don't know about unlocking.. may be try to get that done from somewhere else .. the same place who had unlocked
now even the O2 original sim does not work ??

leave email id.. i shall mail you .. incase i find a solution !!

well sorry i verified it.. now
your phone was patch unlocked ... means the phone is unlocked by patching the Main

since u flashed in a fresh main u can't do anything

You must flash it to w610 and then get it patch unlocked by people who can do it !! this way u can flash your phone to w610i !! this is bad
its going to cost you 15 pounds again i guess

and what's up with k550 menu original.. its got nothing to do with this problem !

oh fcuk so cant settool do tis if i get a log? thanks for your replys

^^ yes am sorry for you

u know i should have included a warning for people having locked phones
but i did not do it because it would scare people from Rest of the world because locked phones are sold only in EUROPE i suppose

in ASIA no locked phones are sold !

If SeTool 2 can perform patch unlock then go for it !

you will get complete support in SeTool 2 Forum !! Just talk to people there !

@ 50pounds... sorry to here about your phone!!! I hope something can be done...

@ akshay... still no luck with the play now icon... I was playing with my phone yesterday with the original play now icon and the rest of the icons are urban icons... at first I turned off the phone and restart after 3 seconds... still the same play now icon... (I was hoping for an icon reset)... then I again turn off the phone this time removing the battery, then insert it back & turned on the phone... Guess what?! ... Menu icons are back to the default SE Icons... Hehe...

I think removing battery is some sort of software reset.... I'll again flash shortcuts without battery removal... I'll post results later...

oh god please help my phone

thanks to god it connects to XS++ atleast... some times it won't even connect at all
try to write back original GDFS of your phone using SeTool 2 lite .. hopefully that works...

btw did u put your help request to revive your phone in SEtool 2 forum
i guess laser will have a solution for your phone

A service cable can surely fix your phone ... i suppose
because one guy reversedhex fixed his dead k550i using service cable

what about redlight.. i hope that does not blink !!
if it does not then very good.. EROM Is in good condition then just write back GDFS with service cable ! like curiser cable.. i don't much about this.. ask number1 about it ...!

hey now connect phone to SeTool 2 lite holding 2 + 5 ( not C ) then write back original GDFS
try the same with XS++ 3.0 !! all with your DCU 60 Cable !!

lol i am not getting what is happening there...

hey follow this ok

download w610i custom menu form the esnips folder akmenu

then put this menu in live folder and restart phone also don't forget to put urban icons in that live folder

btw which phone ? k550 or k550@w610 ??

if u have k550 then use k550 custom menu from esnips folder akmenu

i hope you are using shortcut method !! its soo easy
to use shortcut method

first create that live folder in other >> menu >> live

put all icons and w610 or k550 custom menu ml in there

then using far or xs++ delete menu ml from phone fs

don't start phone

Copy all 25 shortcuts ( those 25 @ files ) to the menu folder in FS

start phone.. this way everything goes correct !

Yes I followed everything, I'm also using the shortcuts... when I change the icons in the live folder menu icons are replaced... but again the original play now icon is displayed... hopelesss I think!

but luckily I found the solution!!! heres what I did:
I opened the menu.ml in notepad I noticed that there are 2 options for Icon1... the first option is:

<element lock="icons" id="PlayNow" replace="next">
<label type="name" textid="DIL_PRE_PLAY_LINK_TXT" />
<icon pos="unselected" source="internal">PREPLAY_DESKTOP_ICN</icon>
<icon pos="selected" source="internal">PREPLAY_DESKTOP_SELECTED_ICN</icon>

the second is:

<element lock="icons" id="OperatorWebPage">
<label type="name" textid="SONYERICSSON_TXT" />
<icon pos="unselected" source="file">icon1_unselected.png</icon>
<icon pos="selected" source="file">icon1_selected.png</icon>

apparently my phone has no internet settings yet so my phone is using the original play now icon from the internal source... but if you have internet settings already then the phone uses the custom icon from the file source...

with this I edited the the first option source from "internal" to "file" and "PREPLAY_DESKTOP_ICN" to "icon1_unselected.png", then same goes to the selected....

I loaded it to the live folder... and there it goes... its all ok now....

heres the edited menu.ml file....

J

you can also set it to bluetooth or games

oops sorry .. yes its a mistake that i made

only for operator logo i changed it to icon1_selected !

for play now i had not done that ..!! i guess u set it correct
hehe lol.. thanks !!

for playnow it was still set to use original icons as u can see in the menu ml that i had uploaded
good work ...!!

but stilll i have a doubt .... you have w610 or k550 ??

thanks to god it connects to XS++ atleast... some times it won't even connect at all
try to write back original GDFS of your phone using SeTool 2 lite .. hopefully that works...

btw did u put your help request to revive your phone in SEtool 2 forum
i guess laser will have a solution for your phone

A service cable can surely fix your phone ... i suppose
because one guy reversedhex fixed his dead k550i using service cable

what about redlight.. i hope that does not blink !!
if it does not then very good.. EROM Is in good condition then just write back GDFS with service cable ! like curiser cable.. i don't much about this.. ask number1 about it ...!

hey now connect phone to SeTool 2 lite holding 2 + 5 ( not C ) then write back original GDFS
try the same with XS++ 3.0 !! all with your DCU 60 Cable !!

hey mate no it dont let me flash the gdfs wont work at all here what the logs says

okay there is NO red light blinking at the top nothing in fact the red light comes on when i charge it but then goes away after a short while

okay if this cable dont work what ype of cable do i need??

would this 1 work? - *www.mobilefun.co.uk/product/8609.htm

also i downloaded SEMCtool_v8.4_FREE and it dont work with vista

what should i do lol?!?!
thanks for help and replys

^^ about that cable i am not sure...! it might work or not..
you must search for cruiser cable ! or service cable.. i will see into today and try to find more..!

contact the guy who unlocked your phone.. that guy can help u revive your phone i suppose.. because he will be having required tools mostly !

i hope the GDFS that you worte is just backup copy of GDFS made from w810i

so i see that even that 2+5 service mode failed to put back GDFS to phone

most of these programs don't work on vista properly.. they are made for XP !!

My phone is k550... right now it is flashed to w610... before i was asking you about w880 acoustic and menu.ml customization working on a complete k550i and you said yes!!...

here are my toughts!
For K550 Main!
1. Cybershot! Image output is more better than w610
2. k550 has video thumbnail preview...
3. Active Camera Lens Cover!

W610Main:
1. Walkman 2
2. Support for Flash Files (SWF files and Flash Menus)

But still, I'm on the process of evaluating which suit my personality most! hehe... maybe you can think about it also... lol...

yea im going to use my other comp which is on xp and that unlockin cable will work so "number1" said

also i have a back up for my k550i GDFS like might also i found a nice download on isohunt.com = torrent files search for "Phone Buisness" look what u can download

ill try new cable when it comes see what happens

thanks ill post replys like

hey except the thumb nail video preview in k550i is not in w610i true
yes the camera kind of works well in k550i because of main firmware
about zapf and menu ml its the same for all sony ericsson phones... not only k550 and w610i
zapf is for all db2020 phones

menu ml icon changing works for all db2010 and db2020 sony ericsson phones ...!!

camera driver modding works for all SE phones with camera
and its the same as that of k550 or w610i. but different camera driver

flash menu work only on new SE phones with support !!
and k550 has better phone book ? explain.. its the same in w610i right ?

50pounds that's good news
all the best with that
yes those torrents few people are sharing them...!

but i got a better idea .. of closed sharing on Esnips..!
on esnips you can allow only your friends to download your files !

S

I see!

about phonebook/contacts... k550 have more data entries... more features like sorting of names by surname or first name.... I notice this feature the firstime I used the phone before flashing to w610... but this was all gone when I flashed to W610... I may be dreaming or something,hehe... I don't remember exactly but I will verify as soon as I revert back to k550 firmware and post results here... or maybe someone with the original k550 firmware verify this... I maybe wrong.... I will edit my post if I'am wrong...

Just wondering if the k550 firmware support flash menu?!

no k550 has no support for flash menus
but u can have custom menu

S

Why are you restoring GDFS if you flashed wrong main ??
GDFS write is only if GDFS variables are corrupt !!

just reflash Main again that's all

when you try to flash rar file you willl get error saying WRONG HEADER
that's it

now cancel this GDFS write...don't worry nothing is going to happen

S

bad... now a days every one is going careless or something like that

try to use XS++ 3.0 and flash Main again....flash a good main
later we will flash FS

see this one fellow did the same as you

later then fixed by reflashing main again that's all

hi guys ....

i just got an icon pack resembling the i-phone icons .....

For those who have followed Akshay's tutorial (created shortcuts in phone memory ) , just replace the icons in /other/menu/live with the following icon pack ....

*www.esnips.com/web/kelvinralph-mobilestuff/

others who have not yet made the shortcuts go to the first page of this forum ...

try it guys ....

cheers

Hi all I found this thread on se-nse where you can download icons... lots of them.... the hard part is you have to look for it in every single post.. the thread right now has 153 pages with 20 post each... approximatly 3000+ post... lol... have fun searching... its worth searching & downloading... heres the link...

is there a way to recover the lens cover function after the conversion?

luishawk said:
to all:

I think it is not possible for now... because that function is in the main firmware... just like the walkman2... right now there is no software to edit the main firmware... for now you just have to use the camera button at the lower right side to activate it or make a shortcut on the D pad...

ah sir I want to change my k550 to w610 and i have the SEtools2lite and i have all the firmware and customation pack. my only problem is the choice of the phone in that. That is the first step only but i dont want to be wrong. k550 or w610? What phone type? thanks...

Well why use a SEtools2lite which has not been so stable at times

??

Instead go for the XS++ 3.0 (beta ) which has now even a file explorer interface with u can browse the various folders in the file system !!!!

I recommend u use a xs++ 3.0 which u can download from the first page of the forum .....

or try this link provided by hgetis in the forum ...

Some more moddings -- Camera frames

hi guys ... I just saw the way to add frames to ur pics

here is the path to add frame images ...

tpa/preset/system/multimedia/pe/frames/

Just download some 240x320 sized .png files which can b used as frames and add them to the above path in the file system ....

here are 2 good glass frames I found .....

*www.esnips.com/web/kelvinralph-mobilestuff/

To enable the frames , open camera , then settings > shoot mode > frames and select the desired frames .... easy as that

try them ...

S

Yes Kelace is right... use xs++2.2 or 3.0, then follow the tut on the first post...

Ok guys, I just revert my k550 from w610 firmware back to the original k550... the only problem I had was the Video thumbnail preview... its not working anymore!!! Any Ideas? anyone out there with the stock k550 firmware had this working even after flashing with SEUS?

Well i think if i remember correctly i used 2 get thumbnail preview for my videos even with my k550i FS and MAIN ... Even after flashing to w610i FS and MAIN ... that option is still there ..

I think it is common in both k550i and w610 firmwares ... if i remember correctly ...

Guys modded version of w880i acoustics !!!!! by esato's peter

yet another acoustic pack for the .zapf phones ....

I tested it liked it .....

>>good sound without any hiss
>>good bass and treble
>>pretty good call volume
>>loud speaker volume is good and clear

The volume levels are a bit high .... so better watch ur ears .... don't take the volume levels above 12 ..... it could damage ur ears .....

Mega-Bass effect is felt even using manual eq settings !!!

@kelace,

what I mean is that the video is playing without sound when you select the the video before even pressing the "View" option.... if this is working for you... can you please tell me how to enable this? I think the command is included in the custumize.xml... or can you tell me which FS and custom pack you used with this option....

semaj said:

Well i did'nt notice that ..... Now with my modded k550i with w610i FS + MAIN, the video isn't playing ....

I remember it used 2 play without sound ... in my old k550i

U r right semaj .. right now don't know which file has the settings .....

i think the FS has the settings for it ....

S

yup... I told you...

anyway I hope someone still has it and share to us the settings.. i really like to have that feature... I am thinking it is in the custom pack... or maybe in the menu.ml or some other xml file...

Just a request guys! if you still had this working for you please save all your xml files in the FS and i will study it... also include the customize.xml....

Guys anyone of you there has the new firmware for k550 & W610:
K550_R8BA024_MAIN_GENERIC_LI_RED52
W610_R8BA024_MAIN_GENERIC_NA_RED52

You can download here from Hgetis collection:

*www.4shared.com/dir/4145537/52d28f4c/CellPhones.html

This might not be the latest but it will work, it is also generic.

Also can you upload or share this file to us? where did you download it? you can talk to hgetis so he can add this to his collection...

this is where i got the main :wink:

COOL! thanks for sharing! How about the FS? hehe... is it to much? i hope not!...

Hey Guys!! heres the new firmware!... thanks to him...

about customization pack.. you can use any db2020 customization pack
basically you type out a cust pack in MS WORD and save as xml and use it.. lol

so cust pack is just a XML file with some settings information
so cust packs can't have updates and makes no sense for updates

i am already using R8BA024 MAIN and FS

But i have CENT EUROPE FS !

And since i use English i have no problems with that FS
ppl who want Their language can't get their FS... !

I will upload Latest CENT EUROPE FS after some time...!

or you can download FS from this Russian site

*www.topse.ru/

i hv internals now again.... so got to study that..!

S

yeah, as Akshay said, you can get the FS here: *topse.ru/files/cat315.html
but they ask you for a registration first.

anyway guys i just flashed my phone and everything went good! the only problem is that i still have sony ericcson links all over my phone! In XS++ 3.1 before customizing i checked the box that said "dont upload wap links" or something like that but i still have them. im on O2 and my phone is locked to that network, if that could be the problem...

registration is easy.. just register.. u won't have to verify the account
so u can put any random email id and register ! lol !!!!!

u can use google translate for tranlsation of words and stff

actually that checking of don't upload SE wap links does not work
so instead delete all itm files from cust pack

What cable did you use? how did you fix it?

hehe this is what i did

first i opened setool lite v2 then i connected my cable which is is this1
(*www.mobilefun.co.uk/product/8609.htm)

then i made it write my GDFS back up which it did 100%

then i flashed the phone with to files k550i main and FS

then i swicthed it on it came on and said insert correct sim!

so then i downloaded total mulit server and got my self some logs to unlocked the phone (full phone unlock 10logs) then i used my new cable i got and it unlocked the phone now im fully happy with it works well with my o2 sim just dont fancy swicthin flash files as it might lock it again hehe :S

but thats how i did it

hey 50pounds you made a mistake man

you should have flashed it with w610i main and FS and then unlocked it with TMS

that way you would have had w610i... forever.. since you would not flash it again

I had converted my k550i to w610i without any problem.

My phone now was the coolest among my friend

Once again thanks a lot...

I've a few question to ask u and a favour Akshay...

1. Can u just tell me the side effect of converted K550i to W610i?

2. Can my flashed phone upgrade to walkman 3.0?

3. I'm still trying to convert non flash theme to flash theme but it didn't work. can you show me how to do it?

4. Lastly.. can u give me all tutorial about converting any sony ericsson phone?(example : K550i to w610i)

^^ hey man !
well to convert to flash theme.. that's the only tutorial now
that's the only method ..!!!!

i hope you have read the tutorial carefully its there in this tut i have given it

and also no walkman 3 for us .. coz no db2020 has walkman 3

and basically you can flash any Firmware into any db2020 phone and then start and find out what works and what not ..!
for k550 and w610 everything works perfectly except camera cover you know !

there are no side effects of k550 flashed to w610i !

HI all!
Maybe this is a lame question, or someone already answered it before, but:
How to customize acoustics?
To be more exact:
1. I use w880i acoustics, but I want to make the average bass a little higher, without changing the volume
2. I want to make the overall-volume higher (ringtones, message-alert, etc.), BUT without changing the volume of the Walkman-player(I wanna keep w880i acoustics).
Are these moddings possible together?

Please help!

welcome shin
you remind me of shin from dbz ! lol

take the farfield files of xaero ma loud and rest of the files from w880 acoustics
then the backspeaker volume will increase ! and the player volume will remain same

if u wanted more bass then xaero ma loud and check out pedro ps acoustics
i think bass is really enough .. we lack treble !

Sokre i will upload S_E_EUROPE FS for K550i on Dec 1st !!
i guess you have S_E EUROPE FS for W610i !

see this for acoustics
thanks to kelvin he gave me the links

Ehhe, I like DBZ, but thats not the reason... :lol:

I don't want more bass than xaero ma loud (the half bass would be enough), but if I flash it, instead of w880 acoustics, the volume will increase insanely (don't need it, don't wanna be deaf anyways), and w880i acoustics have good quality and volume, but with a bit more bass would be better, so what is the way between these two?
Oh, and by the way what are farfield_closed files for? (they aren't in xaero ma loud, but in JPx)
Thanx anyways!

Thanks, a_k_s_h_a_y, i really apriciate it. :razz:

I just have one question: will my flash menus work when i flash back to k550i?

i really don't know how to increase only bass or treble
as i am not into acoustics modding.... rarely hv time to go that deep
coz of my projects and exams !

u can download stuff like firmwares from Topse ru
i got this password and username name

no they won't work !

instead flash with w610i S_E FS and main and be happy
it rocks.... !!! why go back !!

Well i use w880i acoustics, with xaero ma loud farfield files, that'll make it.
Is there any big difference between the new and old W610i MAIN and FS?
I just flashed it, I haven't noticed a thing...

Another Thing:
My friend will buy a K550i within a few days, what can we do if it will be a CID 53 phone?

Cuz the "bible" sad, we can only flash CID 52 phones...

^^ it won't be CID53 ...!! don't worry

i think CID52 is last for this phone since SE started out new platform ...!

Have a smal prob with my phone, it wont update to CID 52.

thx for any input on this one

^^ that's bad !

can i know which language you use and which country you are from

we can flash CID51 k550i to w610i using SeTool 2 lite
and we need CID51 Firmwares for that !

we already have Main .. we need CID51 FS for your region
let me know your region i will try to make your FS Available !

P

I'm from Hungary, language is hungarian, and region is central europe i think
btw my phone is branded(T-mobile)
in XS++ log it says :
Region: T_MOB_INT_B

hope this can help you helping me

thx

So I have to update with seus only and do not worry?
Please answer as soon as possible soon!

Hungary lol!
I'm from there too!!
Szevasz! Nekem is T-mobile-os van de én gond nélkül update-eltem seus-szal! A seus mit reagál a ha frissíteni akarod? Többször is próbáltad?
uhm, sorry for the others, but hungarian is our privilege

oh that was just a Pre Caution .. i think SEUS won't release CID53 EROM update for our phones ! May be i will remove from tutorial ! that thing if its soo confusing

why does your hungrian friend has problems converting phone to CID52 .. hmm
now i will have to find CID51 hungrain FS.
i will upload hungrian w610 CID51 as soon as possible .. pretty sad that he can't update phone

well try XS++ again

first backup GDFS then try to update phone to CID52
if it asks for updating CID then say no .. then do backup of GDFS then again connect phone and update CID try this...!
and yes leave a copy of GDFS as its is in the backup folder in XS++ directory !

if that does not work then post your problem in XS++ discussion thread.. gbrooks3 maker of this program will fix in it in next version... untill then we can use SeTool 2 lite for you
but first i must get you CID51 firmwares

P

@Shin
Szia!
Seus-t többször is próbáltam mindig ugyanazt írja, nincs elérhető frissítés, a telefon szoftvere naprakész, vagy valami hasonló.

@a_k_s_h_a_y and the non hungarian speakers
Seus says no update for your phone available, your soft is up to date

ok, i did as you asked GDFS was backed up just fine, then xs++ asks for update to cid52, ok do it..in log says its done, but then i start xs++ again and it asks for cid update again so apparently no update was done.
here is the log:

pretty bad
then use SeTool 2 lite .. tom i will give you FS
main has been posted already here by luishawk in his esnips folder !
download it

you can use Setool 2 lite for everything mentioned here

have the same problem here with my friend's one!
seus sad no present update, but XS++ sad its CID51 :S
any other way to update to CID52? Sould I try this SeTool?
But hey, XS++ haven't asked me to update the CID now what?

Hell...we tried to update with davincitem (fu**in 10 credits) but it sad something was incorrect, but it took our money, so I warn you guys not to try that!

I really don't know about this so much... but what if flashing erom? Is that possible, can that be a way?

^^ which FS are u using ?? don't you use hungrian FS ?

yes setool 2 lite can flash CID51 phones

i mean k550 CID51 can be converted to w610i CID51 phone

Yeah we use hungarian fs... perhaps I can download k550i CID51 FS from everywhere

but where to find CID51 W610i main??

But on the other hand is there a possible way to update CID? instead of SEUS?
pleeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeease

P

i read somewhere on topsony, that u can update cid with some script in setool2lite, dunno about that i never had the gutts to try it

paleinho said:

I have that script, and i tried it, both with XS++ and with SETool 2 Lite.
Not working.
I try to find an EROM to flash it, maybe it will help.

I found EROM.
That hasn't worked too.
It sad some kind of error...

I think SE or T-mobile took a step to increase their mobile's security.
So the new K550s are doomed, this is a dead end (yet).
I don't think if there are any possibilities left. Anyone with other suggestions?

Please someone post a custompack for CID51 w610 because i have the CID51 MAIN and FS for it, (and in case its hungarian too!!)

Or do I need a Custom pack if I wanna flash under CID51?

I found out something, maybe the main problem is with these new k550-s, that their GDFS is totally locked and READONLY, backuped its gdfs then I tried to restore, XS++ failed, SETool didn't even wanted to start the recovery...

And a last question: Can i flash the W880 Acoustics and chris' camdriver under CID51 k550? And if yes, how? with SEtool?

hey u got Hungarian FS for w610i ?? the please share it with paleinho

Cust pack is the same for All CIDs so you can use the cust packs given here or in se-nse download area

for cust packs you must use db2020 .. which is the same for all new SE phones

yes u can flash acoustics and cam drivers on CID51 .. basically all hacks and modding mentioned here works for CID51 phones also .. but phone must a db2020 phone that is it must be a k550 or w610 or any new sony ericsson phone

skore

here u can find K550i S E Europe FS

*topse.ru/files/cat173.html

and here u get w610i S E Europe FS

*topse.ru/files/cat151.html

for username use : orkutk550
password : orkutw610

and download from topse ..!
all the best !

paleinho

and this is the tutorial for Setool 2 lite

you can follow this tutorial

but u must choose phone as k550 or w610
and then use w610i firmwares that's all

*forums.se-nse.net/index.php?showtopic=17855&hl=w200

all the best !

Ok first i try it myself! Then i give a link of w610 FS and Main for CID51!

IT WORKED!

PALEINHO! Here are the files,
MAIN:

*hznt.fw.hu/W610_R1JD001_MAIN_GENERIC_NA_RED51.rar

FS:

*hznt.fw.hu/W610_R1JD001_FS_CENT_EUROPE_RED51.rar

Custom pack for w610:

*hznt.fw.hu/W610_custpack.zip

DO NOT UNCOMPRESS THE CUSTPACK!
And follow the tutorial what akshay posted from se-nse! Thanks for him!

AKSHAY! Maybe you should take this to your article with the se-nse-tut, 'cause I think this can be inportant for those who will buy or bought their k550i lately! My link will reamin still if you use them! Or wait for someone who can break the security of the new CID51! You choose!

Cheers! B)

^^ Thanks a Lot for the files !!!!!!!!

i did not get you .. all old k550i are CID51
new k550i are all CID52

i think i will add it later .. but its always better to update phone to CID52 and mod it coz its easier using XS++ .. SeTool 2 lite is tough to use . so i did not mention in my tutorial
may will add it later ... !!

and the problem or branding and locking exists in Europe
it sucks that phones are branded and sold what a downer .. !

S

Thanks a_k_s_h_a_y!

You got me wrong Akshay!
Here in Hungary EVERY K550i models are CID51, the old and even the new ones!!
And now that's the problem! I tried perhaps all of the ways to change the new ones to CID52, and every time I got an error!

I mean, maybe T-Mobile or Sony Ericsson team found out a way to keep some of their new models in CID51, because i think they already know we can only flash CID52 phones properly!

So in this case, This thread could be important!

But you're the God here, do as you wish!

P.S.: and I Think SETool 2 Lite is very easy to use

it took me about 3 minutes get used to it!

Oh and by the way, what does it mean, that you subscribed me to this thread? (anyways thanks)

P

Thank u guys !
Worked like a charm, setool2lite is easy to use

now i have the best of both phones a k550@w610.
thx a lot

^^ ok then will add up CID51 Tutorial soon in the main thread ..

actually If Newbs use Setool 2 lite they they can kill phones .. that's why

and some times Setool 2 lite fails .. like setool 2 lite 1.07
se tool 2 lite 1.08 is pretty good

ok i added that CID51 update....... will write more on it later ... hv lots of exams now .. damn it .. and internet is soo addictive .. must over come that

Whoa, thanks man, i thought that you would be a tougher one

I have se tool 2 lite 1.08, there wasn't any problem with it (thank god), but since weekend I have two new requests with new CID51 K550 phones to make it w610!

Anyways I have CID51 K550i MAIN and FS too if anyone needs it...

ok fellows if you re install windows .. then

Reinstall SE PCsuite .. Connect phone to SE PC Suite once for Data Transfer and once for Contacts Sync

then reinstall SEUS... connect phone to SEUS .. but don't update .. after connecting say no to update.. or it will only say no updates if firmware is latest

then connect to XS++

hmm it's not clear enough to me... connect to SEUS but do not update? Than how to update?

I mean to CID52? And also, if i connect to SEUS doesn't it update automatically? or does it ask? because it'll search to updates automatically as I know...

OR you mean to update to CID52 with script in XS++?

I don't think it'll work... but I'll try this

^^^^^^ hey that was not for updating phone to CID52
it was for people who reinstalled windows and having problems connnecting phone to XS++

well but you can try to update phone to CID52 using SEUS .. lol !

Thanks everyone, especially akshay! I have successful flashed my phone.

ok..i need to flash back my phone to k550i..
just to confirm..are these the files tat i am supposed to flash ?

CUST____K550i_HB1-06_Gen_CDA102568_2_R8A_GENERIC_CENT_EUROPE
FS______K550_R6BC002_FS_CENT_EUROPE_RED52
FS______K550_R6BC002_FS_CENT_EUROPE_RED52

FS______K550_R6BC002_FS_CENT_EUROPE_RED52
FS______K550_R6BC002_FS_CENT_EUROPE_RED52

Instead of TWO "FS", you need ONE "FS" and ONE "MAIN", which is something more like this:
K550_R6BC002_MAIN_GENERIC_LI_RED52

And if that custom pack(the one started with "CUST__") is good, then that's all you need.

But if you (still) got an error screen AFTER you flashed the custom pack, then download the custom pack from the first page of this topic, you can download the MAIN and FS there too!

Good Luck!

Re: Tutorial: Flash k550 to w610 !!

hey akshay ,can you please give me the w800 mediterranean main,fs and cust pack?I want to flash my friend's k750 to w800 and I registered on top sony but it says that I must be registered for 2 months before I can download

If you can please send them to me or post them so I can download them from rapidshare.You dont have to rush(but within 1 month

),do it any time you have time and only if you want.

Also your tut. has helped me so much and now I have a k550im@w610i with walkman 2.0 skins,lots of flash themes and wallpapers,w880 acoustics(awesome),extreme camera drivers and I am very

with my w610!!!Thanks to you!!!

HI ppl,
I'm new one on this (bought K550i 2 days ago) and ofcourse, I already flashed my K550i to W610i (successfuly thnx to Aks ;P) and after I read all 24 pgs, I realize noone solved the Shin's prob with CID51 to CID52 via SEUS...

...so, I dont know am I the only one who tried the next thing (but that worked in my case) ...

Explanation of procedure:
In part when SEUS display message "You dont have to update, ur version is already up to date" (or somethin like that) everythin u have to do is to choose option "Proceed (update) anyway"
I cant believe that noone didnt try this?!? That worked 4 me and I have now K550 as W610 with no prob at all!

Plz everyone,
post a reply if I'm wrong and I'll change it.

P.s. And one question at the end for Aks or anyone else:
How to put (in any theme) black background and white letters in reading sms pane???

In our case (Hungary) there is no "Proceed" button or anything similar, only the "back to main" button or something like this...

@Shin...
...u know, i would like to take that procedure one more time and be sure that i wasnt "dreaming" that but u already know the procedure, i cant do that cos i dont want SEUS recognize my phone as K550i and mess up my "new W610i"

so, I will try to find someone with the same phone (K550i with K550i firmware) in Belgrade and check it out...

I'll brb with new informations!

Ok Just bcs this flashing is possible....I am going for a k550i

Update for K550i

hi.. I am new to this forum. I am having K550i. My first SE phone, bought last
month.
I read through topics with modded camera drivers. Can anybody tell me which
camera driver version is available in latest updates from sonyericsson.
I checked my cam driver version is 2.3

Software version reads
CXC1250669
R6BC002
070607

Is this the latest version i am having or should i update to the latest version?

Also I am totally unknown abt the SE update Service. Pls guide..
Thanks in advance!!!!!

^^ dude just update phone using SEUS.. that's it
or else god will curse your phone and it will die

(First time flashing SEUS does soo much of magic in the background and you never know .. that's why

) i.e it creates virtual ports for phone communication .. which might fail if you direct XS++ .. !
for camera drivers check out esato and on se-nse .. number1 is making !

Hi this is my fisrt post on this forum and thread.
First i say thanks to a_k_s_h_a_y for the tutorial it gets a 10 from me.

Now i want to ask if anyone has an idea on how i can get the NCK code to unlock my phone. i want to use another sim.

Thanks

^^ you can't do that for free.. you must pay and get phone unlocked

S

aha, but is there any way to unlock it for free

you can't unlock for free .. that's it
coz purposely they don't allow it for free.. bcoz they will run out of business if they do
SeTool 2 can do for free.. but if you have setool box.. which u hv to buy

S

Hehe... thats why... never buy a branded or locked phone! especially SE! Just buy unbranded ones and you'll save a lot! Branded cellphones usually are more expensive and would save you around $70 including the unlocking here in the phlippines! i could save it to buy a memory M2, HPM-70 and other accesories.... Hehe...

Here in Hungary
unbranded K550i: ~220 EUR (~55000 HUF)
branded K550i (T-Mobile): ~100 EUR (~25000 HUF)
usual unbranding: 10-15 EUR (~2500-3500 HUF)
= that's 115 EUR overall instead of 220 EUR...
And in my case I do use T-mobile SIM so I don't need to unbrand, and also i bought mine about 70 EUR (~18000HUF) with a little trick and luck!
NOW waddaya think about expensive branded phones? 8)
And yes, I saved for a 1GB M2 and for a HMP-70...
...okay, in our damned country...

I can't believe it?! It means that branded SE phones in your country are all worth it! But it is sad in our country because it's the other way around! :cry:

maybe next time I'll buy there! hehe...

anyway I made some adjustments in the layout.xml and heres the result:
*img208.imageshack.us/img208/7581/desktopwy9.th.png
Operator Logo - Lower Left on top of Calls & smaller font size,
Date & Time - Smaller fonts and closer to each other!
Alarm Indication - Removed
Scrollbars on Desktop - Removed (for DesktopFullScreen Icons) note:

If you like other locations tell me & maybe I can make one for you...

^^ that's great !
if you are into layout modding then create a shortcut for it and place that file outside the FS so that you can just edit and put it in memory card ..!

write a small tutorial on how to mod the layout file if you can .. i will look into it and try to create more in holidays !!
thanks !

branded K550i (T-Mobile): ~100 EUR (~25000 HUF)
usual unbranding: 10-15 EUR (~2500-3500 HUF)
= that's 115 EUR overall instead of 220 EUR...
And in my case I do use T-mobile SIM so I don't need to unbrand, and also i bought mine about 70 EUR (~18000HUF) with a little trick and luck!
NOW waddaya think about expensive branded phones? 8)
And yes, I saved for a 1GB M2 and for a HMP-70...
...okay, in our damned country...

In Serbia is simillar to this,
the only difference is u can buy unbranded phone in the shop for 120e and u dont have to bother urself with all that unlocking work (and i've checked, it's unlocked in EROM, not in MAIN which is better) plus cable, earphones and charger ofcourse. And 1GB SanDisc M2 (5 yrs warranty) is ~25 EUR!

But bcos this thread is not about prices of cells in diff countries I apologize to everyone and here is question:
Does anyone know where I can find tut for themes flashing but not for those themes with .swf and .thm files only, that's ok, but I need to figure it out for how to put themes with changed allmenu icons, .swf, .png, .ico, menu.ml etc.
Does anyone know what I'm talking about?

^^ that's right there in my tutorial about menu ml

but for more detailed there is sticky pimp your main menu in se-nse in customizing section .. check out

^^ that's great !
if you are into layout modding then create a shortcut for it and place that file outside the FS so that you can just edit and put it in memory card ..!

write a small tutorial on how to mod the layout file if you can .. i will look into it and try to create more in holidays !!
thanks !

ok i will but you have to wait for a while... I'll try to make a shortcut also... i am using photoshop cs to identify the coordinates of each text fields... for now you need the "notepad++" application... you can google it and download... its free... this is to be used to easily locate items to be modified or change... then a little mathematics and your done... your new custom layout!!!

Summary of tools needed:
1. Adobe Photoshop CS2 or any application that can create and identify field coordinates.
2. Notepad++
3. Calculator

that's nice.. will see it soon then.. i don't have CS3 tht's why

S

Heres how we modify the layout.xml

1. open the layout.xml in notepad++.
2. As you can see we have line no. at the leftside of notepad++ which is very important for us to easily identify lines to be change or moded.
3. Key lines:

- Line 48: scrollbars, command line: <sett name="ScrollBarMode" value="2"/>
- line 455: Operator Logo font size, command line: <attr value="FontE_20R"/>
- line 460: Date/Time font size, command line: <attr value="FontE_16R"/>
- line 468: Operator Logo coordinates, command line: <attr value="2"/> <attr value="174"/> <attr value="5"/> <attr value="26"/> <attr value="10"/>
- line 479: Time coordinates, command line: <attr value="82"/> <attr value="173"/> <attr value="134"/> <attr value="152"/> <attr value="5"/>
- line 480: Date coordinates, command line: <attr value="62"/> <attr value="173"/> <attr value="155"/> <attr value="176"/> <attr value="5"/>
- line 482: Alarm coordinates, command line: <attr value="3"/> <attr value="90"/> <attr value="155"/> <attr value="176"/> <attr value="5"/>

4. Each coordinate on the command line is designated by

example: line 468 (operator logo coordinates) will be <attr value="x1"/> <attr value="x2"/> <attr value="y1"/> <attr value="y2"/> <attr value="10"/>

5. The full screen of our phone is 176x220 pixels. meaning x1=0 (left most pixel, x2=176 (right most pixel), y1=0 (top most pixel), y2=220 (buttom pixels).
with this information we can now adjust coordinates of the Standby text feilds just change values accordingly.

6. Take note that when adjusting text feilds, be sure to keep the width and height according to font size and text lenght, otherwise your text will be cropped.

ex. line 468 (operator logo coordinates), width is x2-x1=172, and height is y2-y1=21... height must be greater than font size (where original font size is 20) and width is 172 pixels (max is 176, max width of phone screen)

7. After determining the desired coordinates you must subtract 16 to the y1 & y2 coordinates. this value was set by SE... (don't ask me why). Default operator logo coordinates are x1=2, x2=174, y1=5, y2=26.

ex. on my custom layout.xml I cahange the coordinates to x1=0, x2=68, y1=155, y2=176. (see my post above). and as you can see it is just located above the left softkey "Calls".

*img214.imageshack.us/img214/3213/phonescreenrn0.th.png

8. Fonts.. line 445: operator logo font size... <attr value="FontE_20R"/>. 20 designates the font size & R means Regular! In my custom layout it is 14R...
Note: smallest readable font is 12R... but looks very crappy! so i suggest 14 to be minimum... to make it BOLD replace R to B!

9. Line48: Scrollbars: <sett name="ScrollBarMode" value="2"/> set value to 0 to deactivate. Note: most of the scrollbars will be gone... not all!... this is to be used if you are using a diffenrt menu.ml (the DesktopFullScreen Mode)...

Ok I think thats it... please check if it is clear...

^^ yeah thanks a lot man

Where the files of javas applications?

^^ in phone memory or memory card

"in phone memory"
where??

Why do I cannot copy files from the telephone of the computer with far manager, show that they are 0-kilobytes?

^^ see memory card and phone memory carefuly
and its not allowed to copy files off far manager to computer .. coz sefs is not programmed to do so .. neither have sony created such reverse loaders

hi guyz im new and thx for akshay for great tutorial im planning to buy an k550i for christmas thats in week i think and its gonna be sim locked and im afraid to flash cuz if ill flash the fone then ill not be able to use any sim cards? thats what happened to 50pund? will i be able to use that card that i bought the fone from?

and another question how can i get my fones fs and main?

and again THX A_K_S_H_A_Y LOL thats rim

^^^ after flashing i am unsure(not sure) if your phone will start of not !!
you better go for a permanent unlock and then flash it ! so its going to cost you a bit more !

i don't know about unlocking coz i hv never come across such phones !
rest or other wise phone is very good .. nice music too .. you need good earphones

and M2 card is pretty costly .. that's a disadvantage .. !

the problems is after changes some changes take place in GDFS area .. so may be writing back original GDFS might slove it after having flashed to w610i .. and this i have not tested .. coz i can't as i don't have a locked phone anywhere in my country

i think by using TMS and unlocking cable you can permeanently fix it off

C

Damn It Im Scared ;/

To Do It Its Like 50/50 well then i think ill wait for summer lol pretty bad since ive to stay with mine cxv 70 XD

no no contact 50pounds .. mail him or PM him
and then there is TMS
you can find them here in topsony website
or just get it unlocked from neighborhood shop
and remember you must not patch unlock..!
he had patch unlocked so phone would refuse to start after flash

i think phone will work if you flash it .. since EROM stays intact where the lock is put .. but never know what might happen in your case ! also if if it does not work .. just reflash GDFS things will go right !! but clearly we don't know what might happen .. from the knowledge that we have if flash phone should start .. but not unlock

*www.topsony.com/forum/cmps_index.php

best would be you ask him !!

C

ok so i want to now what does GDFS mean ? XDD

^^ it just contains all kinds of important phone information .. !
like location , locks , customization , phone specifications ,imei , phone name , address book etc

when we do gdfs backup we backup only important variables not everything , coz if gdfs goes bad no problem .. but important variables like imei , phone internal settings should be put back so that phone can be started ..!!
software like main and fs reside else where in memory

Check this link to find out more about GDFS (and everythin else!)

*forums.se-nse.net/index.php?showtopic=8313

nice link

you can this tutorial to copy files off phone fs .. but its soo much headace
i don't use it .. coz you get fs extracted !

*forums.se-nse.net/index.php?showtopic=17170

so which one u use ?

ok another question where can i get xs ++ 3,1? not using paypal so i cant download it from topsony i would be very thankfull oh found it then u posed it XD thx

and Firmwares i think you must have them by now !!

C

nah im just getting readyu know getting al the files i need etc etc

this is the worth of k550i

C

i feel sorry for u but i think at the max price its still worth the money and which one should i use xs2,2,xs3.0,xs3.1orxs3.2 ? :mrgreen:

use XS++ 2.2 .. the best for this job.. don't ever use 3.2

even 3.1 will do well

C

ok guyz if mine flashing does not succed where can i get files like main,fs,custom pack? for k550i

just flash back using SEUS . hopefully that should fix it !

C

CRAP IM SO STUPID!!! wel i was in shop of fones and asked is it sim locked cuz on the web it says it is they said NO in the web it says that if were is * near the phone name then its sim locked damn im stupid

and no i didnt bought fone cuz its not christmas yet

hey if phone is not sim locked then just flash it away !
and btw what's the price ?? buy it soon before its price goes up !

C

well how much it costs in your country? in mine it costs about 150 eur but the shop which im buying from i selling it for 189 but thats not the point lol i ve some friends in were they will sell me it for 100euros and why should price go up?

i just thought christmas special offer will close soon
pirce here is 140 Euro

and all phones here are unlocked and free of branding and stuff

@crator
this time i made my mind that i am not going to login again .. am soo addicted to this .. coz i hv exams now .. hv to study coz its like do or die man ! all the best with your flashing ! i will catch up with you next year .. will write new improved tutorials in next year in holidays .. these days i hv left updating and adding stuff coz of exams and stuff !! am now soo scared of low marks man !! anyway c ya ! c u later again ! yeah just flash it .. don't worry .. if its unlocked branded phone then its too easy !

C

ok good luck to u .sh1t good thing ive already passed this sh1t

go learn your stuff ull not regret it and HOHOHO MERRY CHRISTMAS AND A HAPPY NEW YEAR!

Hey can you tell me if the NEW drivers will increase the volume of the k550i?
And is there any great decrease in the battery time after the patching is done???

S

acoustic drivers (for sound) can increase volume depending on the drivers... use jpx, sunfire, pedros and other drivers... they are loud...

also there in no decrease in battery life, after flashing (not patching)....

have you check Hgetis collection? maybe its there... check the first post for the links...

Indeed I did check his collection and I need specifically that firmaware.
Name Display a feature of Rogers Canada is not support in any other firmware except America 1.

S

I see... I'll check if i can find one... or maybe akshay have it... you can PM him and request one... this is my last post for now... i'll be back december 28... Happy Holidays guys!!!

Too bad that Iprotebe hasn't opened yet again,

Hey guys i bought a k550i last week and i cant update CID51 to CID52 with SEUS. I am from Ecuador, the cellphone is branded Movistar, Telefonica. What would be the difference if i fash it with setool2 and leave it as CID51.

Oh and if someone could link me to an AMERICA 2 RED51 FS please. I did flash it with setool2 and the cell is awesome now, i am not sure if did the correct step for custom pack so i hope Shin will answer my other post and help me out with that.

Ok i had an idea but i dont know if its doable, i was wondering if i could copy the CyberShot image you get when you start the camera when you are in k550i (the gray and black one) to replace the one you get when you go w610i. The cellphone will look much better. It will be Cybershot-Walkman all the way.

thank you

greetz

merry christmas & happy new year =]

DO NOT UNCOMPRESS THE CUSTPACK!
And follow the tutorial what akshay posted from se-nse! Thanks for him!

AKSHAY! Maybe you should take this to your article with the se-nse-tut, 'cause I think this can be inportant for those who will buy or bought their k550i lately! My link will reamin still if you use them! Or wait for someone who can break the security of the new CID51! You choose!

Cheers! B)

Hey dude would you please tell how did you use the custom_pack with setool2 for CID51 did you just put it in the MISC files ? Why is this
DO NOT UNCOMPRESS THE CUSTPACK! ??

a_k_s_h_a_y said:
^^ about that cable i am not sure...! it might work or not..
you must search for cruiser cable ! or service cable.. i will see into today and try to find more..!

contact the guy who unlocked your phone.. that guy can help u revive your phone i suppose.. because he will be having required tools mostly !

i hope the GDFS that you worte is just backup copy of GDFS made from w810i

so i see that even that 2+5 service mode failed to put back GDFS to phone

most of these programs don't work on vista properly.. they are made for XP !!

I just Flashed my Recently sim unlock k500 to a w610 and it became blocked again... I flashed back to k550 and im restoring the GDFS to see if it unlocks again...

sorry guys .. my exams are going on .. ! i will upload all required firmwares after jan 10th

it really sucks that i can't enjoy new year and christmas every year beacause of my university !!

well you should not flash a patch unlocked phone .. it will get locked again !!
if it was unlocked in the EROM then flashing is possible

try to write back GDFS and see if phone works then good !
i mean even if it works locked good .. if its working locked then flash to w610 again !!!!

hi! i thought that w610i supports .acc music format.. but when i uploaded it to my moded w610i; it only read as ordinary file; what happen there?

and also can i ask if there is a apac of W610i R8BA024 Main, W610 R8BA024 FS,

thank you and merry christmas!

..also.. what happen if i update my k550i@w610i using SEUS..

Hi, sorry, i haven't been here lately...
Too bad that this CID51 mystery got you guys in Ecuador too... the answer is simple:
the custpack what i gave, and its in a .zip, a compressed file, you see?
Next to MISC, just push "...", then select the custpack, so exactly the .zip file, INSTEAD of any files in the zip! Then hit FLASH button!
You get it?
If you did it right the phone starts normally.
If not, you will get an error message from the phone, and you won't be able to start the phone til you did the right procedure.
Tell us if something go wrong! Good luck!

I hope the links will work!

umm, if you update you phone via seus you'll probably end with a normal K550i...
but i'm not sure, that's what Akshay know better, i think!

T

thanx shin for tha links.. i'll it after the holidays..

anyway.. what tha hell sony brags about the w610i supports aac, aac+.
but then, it wasn't..
aac & aac+ formats sounds better than mp3 format in lower frequencies..

merry christmas to all !

About CID51 flashing use SeTool2 lite and CID51 Firmwares
i think shin has given the links to those firmware
thanks to shin !

yes aac not supported in W610i .. but i think k550 supports AAC and AAC+ .. that's what is given in K550 Manual ! dunno coz i flashed my phone to w610 and never went back to k550 since long ! lol

updating phone with SEUS will flash Main back to K550i in most cases or it says phone is already updated !!

Is it possible as filming, for the flash not to do not flash more hard?

i live in estonia, so i need estonian in my phone.. can u create me the pack i need?

EDIT: no need for the pack, found it

i would still be graitful if i could connect sum1 like in msn or smth.. i have sum questions,

btw my msn is kiisutapja13@hotmail.com

! is FAR=xs++ FSX ? ? i mean, can i do the same things with them?

T

Hi guys, xs++ says my phone is:OTP CID: 51, EROM CID: 51, but when connected to SEUS, it says I'm up to date (cant update to CID52)
I'm only trying to mess with this, cause since some time when going to games or apps I get "operation failed" message. dont know what's wrong

Anyone?
thanks

J

Thanks Shin i did it right i have now a k550i@w610i it is great. But what about the cybershot picture i talked about before anyway to upload the k550i picture with the one for w610i ? And could anyone tell where i could get a FAR Manager that would allow me to backup my files from phone to pc. i have version 1.7 and it will only allow me to upload files.

Is R1JD001 the firmware version? is there anyother cid51 firmware version?

TheJSta You could flash it to w610i with setool2 using CID51 firmware Shin gives the links for the packages you need. I bet there is a way to flash k550i firmware using setool for CID51.

There is a section in the end of Akshay's tutorial, for those who cannot update CID from51 to 52. You can flash your phone too, but only under CID51. Sony has a new protection, to defend the phone from updating to CID52

Soo after all has anybody tried changing the k550 panel with a
w610 one?
I know its posible but did someone did it? :neutral:

You mean to change the chippanel between the two phones? Why would it worth, if you can do this with software...

Hey guys which cam driver are you using? i am using the default w610i driver, but i am getting too much noise in the pictures.

a_k_s_h_a_y said:
i see theire is 2 min 12 Sec gap between 09:57:29 and 09:59:41.. what happened in between ?? no response ??

ppl who tried to update w580i EROM had same problems... !
some SE EROMs have this problems..

damn it..we should have taken caution before flashing it.. !

let us all know what the service center guys had to say about the phone.. !
it will be very helpful...

dude sorry for ur phone's death...! this flashing of s500i to w580i has not been tried by many...
we all know its possible to flash.. and had no idea what problem could be caused...
all db2020 and CID52 phones can be flashed easily and with no problems.. generally..

its because of corrupt Main and EROM problems...
and a gdfs backup would have been nice....!!!!!

read this topic..

and don't forget to let us know the service center guys reply..

no buddy no such problems..a k550i flashed to w610i works flawlessly !!!!!!!

!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
there actually were some slow probs.. but it was only in the start, it should go away in 5 min about... if not, reflash it, i had it slow, but i didn't flash FS, so i decided to flash FS too, (as it was recommended) the phone crashed...
i just reflashed it, and now it's a full working w610i in k550i shell

one question..

why choose xxx to w610i when u can have w660i?

whats the difference between w610i and w660i?

last night i flashed my k530i to w660i and its works well!

W

Excuse me a lot, i forgot to install the usb drivers.
I WAS STUPID, STUPID, STUPID, STUPID,......
Now i was a perfect k610.....
ehm, at least I suppose, because it says "insert correct sim card"
As the phone was a branded one, i have 2 questions:
1. how can I unlock it
2. if I use wotan or Se tool, will it unlok it forever or just for one time ???

Thanks to anyboy who can help.

Can somebody upload extracted files & directories

W610_R6BC002_MAIN_GENERIC_NA_RED52.mbn
W610_R6BC002_FS_MEDITERR_RED52.fbn

I need iconpacks, can anyone put some links here? i compiled myself one, with different iconpacks icons, but, it looks a bit funny, 2 of them are totally off-theme, so plz gimme links for more icons

can't find any in google

Cool soo much happening here !!

Walsher .. good you got things right .. phone is working fine
but its locked...!!

you must unlock using TMS .. see that in Top Sony Website !
or get it unlocked from a shop near you .. EROM Unlock .. !!

Patch unlock is only one time unlock !

Extracting firmware is easy..!! or may be i will upload extracted files later !

icon packs you will get lots on topse.ru
they will be for many many phones.. but just use icons which ever you like

just google search topse.ru

and use this

username : orkutk550
password : orkutw610

also try this

username : orkutk550i
password : orkutw610i

there must be website from where you can download icons right ?
like crystal XP .. will let you know more in time !

Mean while right on Jan 1st i have LOGIC DESIGN exam .. its one hell of a subject ..! screws the brains

happy new year to all !!

Hey a_k_s_h_a_y is there anyway to change the camera black image that displays once you start the camera for the one that says cybershot? And which FAR manager will allow me to get files from the phone and back them up in my pc?

J

(#)Parsing tool for SonyEricsson phones raw File System image
(#)Supported phones: z530, k610, k790/800, w550, w810, w850, w900

Loading W610_R6BC002_MAIN_GENERIC_NA_RED52.raw header...OK!
FATAL: No FS description block found @ $00000000

What is the difference in R8BA024_RED52 , R6CA001_RED52 , R6BC002_RED52 , R1KG001_RED52 , R1KC001_RED52 , R1JE001_RED52 , R1JD001_RED52 ?

atleast now we can't change the camera startup picture !

Hi i've got some problems during update to CID52. My phone seems to be CID51 but SE's Update Service says it's up to date. So... I started with XS++ thing and it said my phone is CID51 and asked me to update and I said Yes. Then i got a "successfully" updated phone, or at least it was said to be. but when i re-plugged the phone it said that my CID is 51 again... and i repeated the update a few times again but nothing. Then i decided to go on with the GDFS Backup (which was successful) and then i proceeded to the MAIN Flashing which failed.

My Phone is OK now, but i cannot flash it i tried several times and still fails. Any Ideas?! i'm confused on what to do now i want the walkman thing desparately :S

P.S. Happy New 2008

The IR Port is very weak and has a different type of transmitting. So ... you cannot use it for this purpose

sorry but what do you actually mean when saying "change folder desktop"?

do you mean just to change the directory?

edit: oh, i got it that's the patch for.

yes, change directory

I'm Bulgarian and don't speak well english :mrgreen:

Dear all,
HAPPY NEW YEAR !!!!
I love this forum.
Thanks to akshay and all the ones for their time.
I have a little question.
I flashed my k550 to a k610, but as i the phone is branded, it is now locked (it says "insert correct sim")
Now i have downloaded from topse.ru the setool2lt that apparently shows a very interesting unlock/reparir botton and a "bypass DB2020 secury" botton.
Is it possible to unlock my cid52 DB2020 with this program ??
If yes how ? (please always think I am a newbe)
And in the option "phone type" which one should I choose k550 or k610 ??
Thanks for every reply.
Bye

I flashed my k550 to a k610, but as i the phone is branded, it is now locked (it says "insert correct sim")
Now i have downloaded from topse.ru the setool2lt that apparently shows a very interesting unlock/reparir botton and a "bypass DB2020 secury" botton.
Is it possible to unlock my cid52 DB2020 with this program ??
If yes how ? (please always think I am a newbe)
And in the option "phone type" which one should I choose k550 or k610 ??
Thanks for every reply.
Bye

are you sure that you flashed the correct firmwares? is it K610 or W610? anyway you can browse back the previous post in this thread... I think someone has already solve this problem...

Hi..

after coupe hours of searching finally i found this post and follow the instruction carefully..

i success flashed my K530i (Firmware R6BC002) to W660
that was the first time i ever flashed a phone by my self.. thanks God its works

...

I used:
W660_R8BB001_FS_APAC_RED52.fbn
W660_R8BB001_MAIN_GENERIC_FY_RED52.mbn
HB1-06_Gen_CDA102568_101_R8A_GENERIC_APAC

It works =D
.. but theres something missing.. like the text symbols are not complete as in K530i.. i know for some people this is not important, but anybody know why?

is there any difference between R8BB001 and R6BC002? because the phone act different 2 when i connect to myphoneexplorer..

i know this is k550 topic.. but maybe someone know where i can find k530i FS and MAIN? in case i want to re flash my phone?
sorry.. i think ill try SEUS first

thanks

hello to everybody!!!

I hv been disappeared lately, i know but i am too busy with my studies and work!

Well, recently i had some problems with K550im's speaker.. NOT the loud speaker nor the handsfree.. Just the regular speaker... Some times I couldn't hear at all and some times there was only noise... I just used handsfree kit to use my phone...

Why I'm telling these? Coz i thought that it was a hardware malfunction and as i still have warranty i went to SE's servive...

Of course i reflashed my phone back to K550im first. Today I got it back and that technician at SE's labs told me that there was some software problem which caused the speaker not to be recognized correctly, therefore i had no sound!

Is there any possibility having trouble with W880 acoustics at my K550im??
Is there anyone else had the same problem?

I'm really concerned about that... I am open to any suggestions!

will this flahing work on windows vista home premium becuz u sed u need windows xp servie pack 2

hkr use setool 2 lite if phone is CID51

bboyshade .. delete all skins and reflash all skins using FAR MANGER

santu repost question .. i did not understood ... i don't think anyone understood

walscher it might work because setool 2 patching is free.. but i heard it requires dongle !!!
i will see into it next week .. since setool 2 is paid tool i don't know about it

amxcs that's great ! patching for w610
but how to apply those patches does xs++ support patching ?? its been long time since i last visited sense !

setool 2 does .. but is that free ???

its really great to have patching for db2020 !!!

hgetis !
no problem for me with speaker

if speaker or some speaker hardware is damaged then bad
or may be even the speaker connecting circuit !
did you not get a replacement ??
is that problem of yours fixed or not ??

i saw that now there is setool 2 lite 1.1 and that supports free patching
and patches are availble.. on russion forums
we can apply patches !! with it !!

have to read about that quick access ... !! or else it will take lots of time to patch !!

akshay, the technician at SE's service told me that there was NO hardware malfunction, but there was a software one... He told me that in some way the earphone was not recognized by the software of the phone therefore it didn't work or it worked sometimes with plenty of noise!
He applied some kind of a patch as he said and problem fixed!! But now I'm back to K550im and that is not what I want...

I will flash again my K550im to W610i (both main, fs) but i'm really worried about the acoustics... There was some kind of a conflict and earphone wasn't working...

That patches at russian what bugs solve? Do we use W610 patches or K550i ones?

A

hey akshay just gimme some guide...

1. If i flash my phone with w610 main and k550 FS, will my camera shutter
active?
2. Is there any latest cam driver for my k550 flashed phone instead of chris 2.4?

Hi akshay, thanks for the answer.
Do you know where I can find a patch (.vkp) to Remove the sim-lock for my w610. (yes it is a w610, not a K550 it just was a mistake).
Thanks a lot.
By the way setool2 version 1.11 is for free.

Try this:

Code:

[COLOR=green];w610-R6BC002
[/COLOR][COLOR=green];Clear SP-Lock
[/COLOR][COLOR=green];Remove SP-Lock
[/COLOR][COLOR=green];(c) IronMaster
[/COLOR][COLOR=green];(p) sunfire7

hmm its a w610i and you don't know what it is ??

well amxcs has given a patch for w610i firmware .. it will work on a w610i firmware in any phone .. be it k550 or w610
so use it ! and unlock away .. !!

and its for R6BC002 Firmware .. so make sure yours is a w610i R6BC002 Main Firmware !!

hgetis we use w610i patches coz its a w610i firmware

btw did your speaker problem resolve ?? i always used w880 acoustics
never used any loud acoustics .. coz i hate loud stuff !!

is it that those loud acoustics were heavy on the speaker ??

yes Setool 2 1.1 patching is free .. that's cool !! i checked out on se-nse setool thread

Hei I'm newbie here. Would someone show me how to check my K550i@W610i driver's version? I need to know which driver I had in the phone (camera etc) before I update it.

I used W610i main and K550 FS in this phone. Many thanks!

J

what is that about patches and stuff? can we use them with k550i@w610i cid51...

lhwjud1,
u can check all settings just by pressing this for SESM (Sony Ericsson Secret Menu): "-> * <- <- * <- *" or to be more precise, press (in standby mode) on ur phone next thing: "right" (on ur keypad) then "*" then "left" again "left" then "*" then "left" and when u press "*" at the end phone will automaticaly enter in SESM. U will found out in "Service info" all the info's u need.

Thanks inemes. I've just install Camdriver (Number1 2.93) and acoustics driver (w880) according to the front page info. Though, the acoustics info is not in the secret menu, am I right? How can we tell if the phone is installed with a particular version of acoustics driver?

hi
i need to unlock my k550i--->w610i but im having problems patching if anyone can help?

I've downloaded SEtool2lite 1.11, i have downloaded the quick access patch, i have all firmware tools, and i am following the tutorials that were posted on this thread.

I have already flashed my phone using xs to w610i with no problems and added the w880i acoustic files.

SEtool2 wont let me read gdfs or write the patches.
My phone is identified by SEtool when i click the 'identify' button but then when i press 'read gdfs' it doesnt work.. The blue progress bar along the bottom just keeps going up, and when it reaches the top it starts again. This just keeps happening until i disconnect my phone

i dont get any errors or anything.

Can anyone lend any help, Please!

also this is unrelated.. but does anyone know for sure if the w880i acoustic files actually have better sound? I didnt get a chance to play around much with the original w610i sound but when i use the w880i acoustic files there is a lot of hiss. The sound itself is quite good but when i compare it to my z710i sound (which isnt even walkman) the sound is just as good. I just expected to be better than my non-walkman phone!

S

Hi all,

Thanks for the great thread and great tutorial!
I'm trying to remove the simlock from my SE K550i... can anyone explain how to do this, or if its even possible using just the USB cable that comes with the phone - if there is a free method even better!!

By the way, the phone will (hopefully) be using the w610i firmware in around 20 minutes if that makes a difference for unlocking ?

Many Thanks!

akshay my friend my greetings!
w610i patches... right... i thought so! I asked just to be sure!

my speaker problem resolved by upgrading something in phone's fw.. i don't know excactly what coz the technician at SE's service didn't tell me... He just said that fw wasn't recognizing my speaker and that there was NO hardware malfunction!

I think that i had ma_loud acoustics... Maybe sth went wrong with that stuff, certainly not with hardware... I'll try W880 acoustics next time.. who knows...!

W

oops forget my previous post i just forgot to remove my battery and press C

my k550i is now a W610i. Its unlocked, unbranded and im using the w880 sound files :mrgreen:

makes for one hell of a phone
thank you so much for the tutorial

W

THANKS TO amxcs for the patch !!!!!!
Now my w610 is unlocked !!!!!
But I am still not able to do what I want .....
I just wanted to add the italian language to my k550i.
So I first updated it to cid 52 and then flashed it up to a w610.
Then I learned my phone had a sim lock, ok with the setool2 it was not a problem (again thanks to amxcs for the patch) and today the last one the phone tells me:
"Configuration error. Please contact your network operator or service center"
What did I wrong???
I used only setool
1. Flashed main (W610_R6BC002_MAIN_GENERIC_NA_RED52.mbn) togheter with the files for the .vkp access (quick_access_W610_R6BC002.vkp)
2. Flashed the FS that supports the italian language (W610_R6BC002_FS_EUROPE_5_RED52.fbn)
3. Added (with write script) the costum pack for the italian language (W610i_HB1-06_Gen_CDA102568_14_R8A_GENERIC_EUROPE_5.zip)
4. Added (with write script) the patch for the sim lock.
But when I try to start the phone, after the pin code it says:
"Configuration error. Please contact your network operator or service center"
Where is the error ??? what did I again wrong ?
Please help me, I begin to hate my se.

w610iw610iw610i: Can you explain how you removed the simlock from your k550 flashed with w610 ?
I am trying to do the same to mine, but I'm not sure how to!

Thanks

Okay, im not that technical though im really just compiling information i've read here and on other sites...

First of all you need SETool2lite v1.11 -
Download it here
*topse.ru/files/file5342.html

or here:
*rapidshare.com/files/80561870/setool2lite1.11www.se-tuning.net.rar.html

Oh and considering you've probably flashed before you'll probably have the usb flash drivers (if not you need to download them!)

So firstly using SEtool2lite you need to backup your gdfs (so if anything goes wrong you can recover your phone). To do this simply use the 'read gdfs' option.

then you need to apply a 'Quick Access Patch' using SEtool2lite. The program you need to create this patch is included with SEtool2lite (i think).

You'll also need your MAIN w610i firmware to create the patch - if you don't have that you can download it on the first page of this thread.

Use this video tutorial to show you how to apply the patch:
*www.4shared.com/file/33723959/909.....Planet_com.html

don't forget like i did:
when you press 'write script' using SE Tool remember to remove the usb cable and battery, then reinsert the battery, hold c and insert the usb cable...

This takes about 15 minutes to complete, keep following the tutorial above.

Once the quick access patch is applied you can apply the unlocking patch.

For this you need the code:

;w610-R6BC002
;Clear SP-Lock
;Remove SP-Lock
;(c) IronMaster
;(p) sunfire7
+44140000
4ee75c: 30B5041C00231A1C111C1C2094F4 F0B505213A229BF44DFD0020F0BD

Copy all the above text into a notepad document. Click save, then click 'all files' in the drop down list. Name the file anything.vkp

Make sure its saved as a vkp file and not a .txt file!

Now follow this second tutorial which shows you how to apply the patch:
*www.4shared.com/file/33727881/a54.....ick_access.html

And i think thats it... Try it out and see if it works!
Sorry if i havent explained anything properly, i told you im not that good

A couple of questions using the SE tool to unlock k550i@w610i.

1) Must it be w610-R6BC002 (main) and not other main, such as R1KG001?
2) FS and Main has to be of same version? Can I install something like w610-R6BC002 main and K550i-R1KG001 FS?
3) My phone is supposedly w610-R1KG001-main and k550-R1KG001-FS at the moment but nonetheless XS++ has always reported "Firmware Version: R6CA001". Which one is correct?

My apology for the stupid question but really appreciate if someone can help. Thanks!

Try to flash again the custom pack using xs++.... maybe this time it should work... if it does'nt then try a new custom pack... maybe your copy is corrupted...

Mobile unlocking

Hi
I have a SE K550i locked in Orange. I want to unlock it. Is there any free application/way available to do this?

J

hey guys is there any patch/way to make the phonebook read from sim & phone at the same time? and is there any way to password protect the phone? you know like motorola s/w where you can lock certain apps or maybe nokia s/w when you lock the keypad you need a pass to unlock it... i am k550i@w610i CID51

H

Cant we just directly unlock a standard K550i? Is it mandatory that the phone needs to be K5501@W610i?

walsher ... to get rid of config error
just flashin cust pack .. looks like you forgot to flash a cust pack !! lol

this is not at all a big deal .. the config error !!

lets see if we can get hold of a k550i unlock patch .. then we can unlock k550i too !!

Italian language !!! you must use an FS which has Italian language !! also the cust pack for that FS ..!!!

CID51 patches .. i don't think the Russians will create .. sorry for the CID51 people !! i don't know how to create .. or else i would have helped

patches will keep coming from now on .. we just have to patch up .. like password protect .. !! etc

this page has got a unlock patch generator !! for all db2020 phones

*simox.5gbfree.com/site/news.php

download the unlock patch generator here ! this should work for all firmwares ! CID51 also
*simox.5gbfree.com/site/download.php?view.9

Nice to know that the w610i unlock patch is working !!

w610i thanks for the tutorial

W

You'r right it was not so difficult !!!

My mistake was that: instead of flashing the custom pack I used the "write script" button.
But, now I have a real nice, cool, with the right language and unlocked W610
and this thanks only to this forum !!!!!!!!!
You are all great!!!!

Thanks a lot to akshay, hgetis, amxcs

oh that's great .. finally your phone is working !! amazing !! now there is no stopping !! hv fun !!

an EROM Unlock done by TMS or a Shop Near you is a permanent unlock !! this patch unlock is a jump instruction

so guys every time you reflash Main firmware remember to patch unlock again !!

what makes this thread so popular?...gr8...!

J

=( I hope somebody finds a way to unlock these new CID51 phones so we can enjoy the freedom or somebody teach us how to create patches for CID51 I would really enjoy password protection for my phone...

CID 51 Patch is there !!
i don't have CID51 Firmwares now !!

But download this program !! and it will create a CID51 Patch !! and follow the tutorials posted by amxcs and w610i !! that setool can patch CID51 also because it says db2020 support !! so give it a try .. patching is just screwing the main !! if patching fails just a reflash of main fixes the phone !!

Is there any patch to support MXE-60 accessory? That is the Xenon flash accessory of SE. Patch for K550@w610 R8ba024. Thanks!!!!!!!!

i'm havin a prob here.. i wanted to change the layout in my phone, but when i connect it, as usual, it sends me message below, and after that nothing..

20:14:05| Sending db2020_cid01_prodid_p3j.bin...

EDIT:

i think that the problem is my phone port, where u connect all the cables, coz it doesn't connect the charger.. and earphones play bad too...
so i'm planning on takni' it to the service, mby they can replace it, without the whole motherboard.. and my speaker doesn't work neither, i went to italy this summer, and it fell in sea

but that's ok, it works fine, after flashing too..
so i hope they can change my shitty port

@akshay... I have now k550@w610main & k550FS... walkman is working fine but skins won't work... after flashing skins on phone you can see only unknown characters in the skins list of the phone and is not working... does this mean that walkman skins only work in w610FS... flash menus works perfectly....

Skins do work even if k550 FS ! i know one guy who has always been on w610 main and k550 FS.. his name is munish he has used walkman skins.

are all the skins failing ?? then its bad.. because some times in w610i FS it happens. after deleting some skins that's what happened to me quite a few time. may be delete again and try

just ensure that there are no problems with the xml file in the skin

S

I got it to work now... my problem now is deleting the unwanted themes... xs++3.1 cannot delete the skins... what program are you using to delete them?

^^ well now in that case there is no way out !!!
You must Reflash FS and Main again !!

Or try to remove the patches that you applied !

I've reflashed FS and Main and the phone comes back to life. However, I still got the same result for the 2nd time I tried to apply the patch. What can I do now to get the unlock patch work?

J

the unlock patch posted means you can use any sim chip from any cell phone company?

Someone told me that it might be because I used a *.bin file instead of *.mbn file for the patch. Is there anyway to get around this as my MAIN file is in *.bin extension?

jmoncayo .. yes phone works with any sim

.bin ?? how come .. the files in hgetis are all .mbn !! it matter not much . . because content of the file matters with setool 2 lite .. only .mbn matter for XS++

so you say you are not able to patch phone properly ??

ok to apply this patch .. first extract the FS .. get the contents of Desktop folder and copy them to create a folder called "flash" in the "Other" folder in your phone ! copy the contents of Desktop folder from the extracted FS on your hard disk to phone memory using file transfer mode ! you must create the flash folder in other folder using file manager in when phone is on !

next time on to install flash menus just copy the swf files to the flash folder !! and bingo !! no need to use XS++

this is very nice patch ! it replaces create drv/acc in other folder in memory and place acoustics in acc folder !! you can place any acoustics in acc folder and to change acoustics .. just copy off other acoustics in this folder ! simple !! this is how all patches that place the directories outside FS are applied !!

of course before applying the patch .. create the folders and place acoustics and then apply patch !!

Lots of Patches here !! for W610 SW-R6BC002 EnglishRussian

For those on R8BA024 Russian English

OK - I solved my problem and got the phone unlocked now.

1) The SETool2lite can handle *.bin or *.mbn file, not a problem.
2) Generate your own *.vpk file using the "SIM-Lock patch generator v1.5"
Down it here *simox.5gbfree.com/site/download.php?view.7

I had the problem because I used the vpk code from the previous post, and not the one generated by the SIM-lock patch generator. Obviously, MAIN file from different regions seems to yield different code in the vpk file.

HTH.

oh i thought you were using correct patch !!
Simox patcher was posted here also

you missed it

yes as setool 2 lite does not see file extension .. it sees only file content.. so bin and mbn is ok ! happy patching !! now apply all other patches and hv fun !

P

akshay, I can't see my menu label on my clubpulse, breakbeat etc. on my desktop. help please

LOL.. They don't have any menu labels at all .. many flash menus do not have menu label except for Walkman !!

@akshay

hi
just wondering, when will patch for the shutter/camera cover be available

K550@W610

well .. sorry to say !! i think mostly we can't have such a patch !!
keep your fingers crossed .. who knows !!! but after researching into it .. i am find it its going to be tough .. after studying many patches !

S

@ akshay...

Thanks for the tut (farmanager)

yeah sure .. i hope you liked the other tutorials too !!

well guys the method to add language actually works well
you must just delete the setting files first using FAR. LOL

anyone knows where i can get chinese.t9 ???

*www.topsony.com/forum/cmps_index.php?page=info_lenguaje

see that.. you must get an FS with chinese t9
which place you from
is that Chinese thing that important ??

@akshayy

i'm from malaysia. its not that important, but before i flashed to w610, my k550 can type chinese when composing message. i checked and it was APAC.
but when i flashed to w610(APAC)i get all these - English - Indonesian - Malay - Philippine-Tagalog - Vietnamese - Chinese

the difference between before and now is i get indonesian and malay t9 but i cant type chinese at all. i can only view chinese on my phone.

so you are from malaysia .. i know that country
you will never need Chinese don't worry !!

P

Ok. Thanks akhsay... But the menu label text appear on w550, not walkman only. So, ther's no way to make that menu label text appear...?By the way, thank for your tuto (flashing & patching), i love you all & i love my k550>w610 like my k750>w800 before. Sorry for my bed English, i'm an indonesian

hmm i did not understand you. and w550 ??

you can have any text label for any element in any menu

P

I'm Sorry akshay. I mean w550 can show label text perfectly above the clubpulse menu icon (original flash menu that's w550 haue) but when ? install to my k550>w610, i can see the text label. Just menu icon without label that's i can see

hmm .. so i will hv to test it.
upload the flash menu..!! lets see

now wait .. the clubpulse flash menu that we have actually does not have labels .. labels have been removed.. infact in many flash menus labels have been removed

if you wanted that exact menu ml you can get it by extracting a w550 FS

phew .. that was the problem.. so we don't have the original clubpulse flash menu..

coz i hv tested clubpulse flash menu.. its got no labels

P

Thanks to test it. Maybe we have to edit that flash file. Is here someone with that skill...? However i like my cell appereance although without menu label. Akshay, do you have more patch. I need sysgfx patch. The FW is r6bc002

forget editing flash .. adode flash won't even install on my computer and laptop LOL with 256 MB RAM. need to upgrade it.

hey patching am really confused how to explain it up all
sys grafic patch is nothing but .. you apply lots of patches and then create graphics .. that it
put all folders outside fs and then easily add flash menu and walkman skins
also use the image tool to replace system graphics

a_k_s_h_a_y said:
so you are from malaysia .. i know that country

althought malaysia is a malay country, i'm not a malay.
i need chinese to occasionally to communicate with my other friends.
i can understand y u dun noe malaysia much, its coz malaysia not very famous.

problem connecting W610i(aka K550i) to XS++......

hello akshay...long time no hear(don't know if u remember me),i'd last posted on this forum some 5 months ago.....have been satisfactorily using the upgraded Monster CYBERWALK 550i sine then.
recently i saw the upgrades on accoustics-the JPX pack and wanted to flash that in mmy phone,but my PC is now identifying my cell as W610i.I do not have the USB drivers for W610i
thus i think because of the above problem,XS++ is unable 2 connect with my phone,its giving error message every time-
ERROR:cannot open phone communication port.
disconnected...unplug the phone
please advise and if possible/required can u help me get W610i drivers,i,ve googled a lot but to no avail...
anyways,adios amigo....keep up the good work(R&D)

P

Re: problem connecting W610i(aka K550i) to XS++......

Use gordon's gate to reset your usb flash driver. If you even install usb flash dru, it will install automatically when you conect ur phone with XS++. Try it! May ur prob solved

paarth .. install sues again and se pc suite ..!
then just connect phone once for file twice transfer

and once go for updating phone using sues.. that shld fix it.

or else our friend has given a new solution check it out.
if u install se pc suite .. it will install flash driver for any phone

bikey77
don't use XS++ 3.2

download a cust pack from hgetis collection..! if not available for your region... then ask for it..!
i shall creat one for you !!

connect phone ( usual process )
unzip the customization pack ( use the cust pack which goes with the FS of your choice or create one which is very easy )

you will find a folder named "tpa" in it

now in xs++ directory on PC, in the directory where u have xs++.exe create a new folder named "own_custpack"

copy the "tpa" folder into this "own_custpack" folder the path of custom files should be like own_custpack/tpa/preset/custom...

open xs++ and connect fone check only customize file system

now under phone model select 'Own Custpack'
under CDA and Region, select '/own_custpack'

now hit flash...
now in few seconds custom files will be added to your phone and done
Start your phone !! Wait for some time !!
you get config error if you don't flash in cust pack.. see this !

P

screw my destiny......thank u alll.

thank u everyone for the solutions but i think my destiny is totally screwed.the 'FCKUING' SEUS Download link on Sony-ericsson is dead/frozen/useless(atleast from where i'm trying 2 access it).
Can anyone please mail SEUS pack 2 me as an attachment-my email address is 'drab_pittt@yahoo.co.in'.
My gratitudes in advance to anyone who may help me out with the SEUS pack or else it is simply not in my destiny to experience the sound of the JPX accu pack on my phone.
adios amigo........

hi a_k_s_h_a_y!
maybe you remember me? guy who couldn't upgrade cid51 to cid52?
ok! can you tell me what is the best accoustics (just your opinion) for our great cybermans

P.S. I flashed my phone 3 or 4 months ago and everything works great now (thanks to you). I think my cameras quality has decraised for little bit. I was used modded camdrivers but now im back to original k550 camdrivers because I didnt like modded one. I also have hpm75. everyone who think about to buy them BUY THEM (they are great). Only I had problem with them in first week I bought them - left earphone 's sound was very low so I take they back to shop. They token earphones. That all happened in last week of november. Just yesterday I get new exemplares from them so I want the best accousticscan be so please help me akshay

SORRY FOR MY BAD ENGLISH

yesi remember u . w880 acoustics are good !! i like them .... the best

if you want loud and hifi acoustics then you should try out xaero ma loud
and peters acoustics ...!!

download peters and see which you like !

thankyou for advice
I think peters accoustics will be best for me

P

amigo akshay and everyone else reading:
by hook and by crook i managed 2 hook up my phone with xs++ and report the following findings(might also b that someone may have already posted these facts):
1)The JPX acoustic pack is pure bull-crap..sounds even worst than low quality nokia phones-sound is very very loud but hardly possible to distinguish any sound from each other...Professor Akshay its better u remove that link and avoid any users from damaging their cell's speakers.
2)the cam driver links on the 1st page of 'Re: Tutorial: Flashing k550i to w610i !!' are fantastic.Pics r captured very fast as compared 2 my previous cam drivers-almost 3x to 4x times faster and the pictures seem 2 b more sharp(sorry i didn't think of capturing pics b4 flashing,the quality jump would have been evident 2 everyone then).Akshay,even though u have mentioned that 3 ppl damaged their cams in some way,updating 2 these new cam drivers is a risk worth taking at any and all costs.
and thanx professor Akshay for the link 2 'Get rid of Operator logo',by the way i support the already mentioned fact that-original W880i acoustic files provide best sound quality and volume that is loud enough so as to not damage either the phone's speakers or the great sound quality.
......adios amigo.....

jpx turned out pure crap.. i agree.. i tried it out .. it was sucky

after those 3 guys .. no one has reported dead cam module .. so its fault in their cam module ..!!

yeah hv fun.. get down to patching .. and upload lots of flash menu and skins and many other patches .. enjoy them...!! c ya !

Hey, does toshara & qwerty12 have acostic driv 4 db2020 (zapf)? They make alot acc driv but 4 db2010 phone (apf).

no they don't make acoustics for db2020 .. only for db2010

P

Why? I like their acc. Now i use it on my k750>w800. All se phone have db2020 right now. Right?

hi akshayy

found out sumthin not in your tutorial
ability to add extra and more frames, clipart and funlayer
just use any softwares and upload to

tpa/preset/system/multimedia/pe/

I have a pack here which i found from other sites. Different sizes will work also.
nice!!now i have 76 frames. Try it out.
Akshayy pls add to ur first page tutorial.

well not all se phones are db2020 ... qwerty acoustics work only on old se phones based on db2010 platform
k550 uses zapf not the apf used in db2010

no u can't .. u must use setool 2 lite .. there is no other way !!

J

finally i did it right.

well, the first time there was too many problems, but thanks God this time everything was fine, thanks a_k_s_h_a_y
but i wanna ask about sth, what's the point in flash menus, if there's no flash theme for it? for example, i got a flash menu called K550, and pit it in the phone, hoe can i ran it if i dont have a theme that works with it right, and called K550 theme? i found so many flash menus, but with no themes for them, so how can i run them?

no flash menus for k550 for sure
i think that's a flash menu that's got something to do with cybershot interface

flash menus won't work in k550 ..!!
you apply flash menus u need theme file .
in the same tutorial at first post i have given link to how to convert non flash theme to flash theme

I upload the .avx files and start image on there proper locations. But the problem is when you try to use the visualizations, the phone hangs. After that, you can't use any visualizations inside the phone.

no way to convert CID51 from CID52 .. though XS++ had a script .. but its not working !

Y

what else do i have to put in the own custpack folder to flash into the phone . i am using xs++ 3.00 and the k770 is stock

Hey guys I found a nokia forum where they use a nokia update software somthing like SEUS, and they found a way to make the program update the firmware even if it says "There is no software update for your device".
The thread is here, it is in spanish but what they do is change the product code, to some else, so the update software thinks it is able to update.
I was wondering if we could use something like this for making locked cid51 phones update to cid52.

greetz

PS: found the tut in english, it is well explained, hope it can help us unlock some phones.

pls put my link for the extra frames to ur download page.
it can work on k800 and others also.

ok done ! hv fun !

J

well what i read is that SEUS updates firmware according to phone IMEI, if there is a way to fool SEUS it should update the firmware, now the problem is I do not know if there is a way to create a fake IMEI for k550 and accomplish this task.

exactly
i have no idea how to do it !!

Hey, does anybody have tutorial to change K550i housing with W610i housing? that would be great having K550i IMEI but W610i software in a W610i "clothes" with a blue backlight, ^^

sorry guys ! i almost forgot this great place coz of soo much stress at college and work

all new phones are CID52 anyway
no flv for w610 .. simply not possible
use apf acoustics for w800 ! find then at usual places
no tutorial to do that w610 housing on a k550 .. but check out service manuals for that . one fellow has done it.. don't know where i had seen him

ATTENTION: Need upload of W610_R6BC002_FS_CENT_EUROPE_RED52.fbn

Greetings from an old friend!

As I informed today by 4shared.com, FS file (fbn) for Central Europe in version W610i R6BC002, has been damaged and cannot be recovered by them...

Furthermore, this FS has been downloaded from my repository many times (more than 1000++) and I have marked it as the most popular one!!

So, I believe I have helped too many people with this repository I am keeping active and alive and I will help more people in the future being all the files in good condition!

Please, anyone who has this file W610_R6BC002_FS_CENT_EUROPE_RED52.fbn (W610i R6BC002 Central Europe FS) and it is in good condition (I mean working, not damaged/corrupted) may upload it to this temporary repository of mine (create a new folder there and upload it IN there), and I will archive it to the main repository for reference and download...

It will be much appreciated if u have the original compressed (rar) file...

Thank u in advance!!

hi guys, after some time i was just wondering if there is already a way to upgrade locked cid51 cellphones to cid52. My IMEI starts with 3593......

D

hi guys!

i bought few days ago k550 ant now find out that cid53 is inside

is it imposible to do somthing or not? sry for broken english

no you can flash it to W610 ! Using JDflasher....!!

you can do all customization. expect patching/unlocking

D

i'll try something to do, but its hard for me with such things

but thanks

edit: i have flashed sucesfully but i where i could find w610 R6BC002 FS BALTIC RED53? and custpack for it?

what happens if i whrite another region fs?

@a_k_s_h_a_y
hi, im trying to flash my frend's K550i
he used to run update thru his mobile and now his s/w version is
CXC1250669 with R8BA024

SEUS says its the latest one....how to make it a CID53, so that i can start flashing it with 610i main and FS.

what are you gone mad ?
you can't flash CID53 easily.
CID52 is the best.
you can check out the updated tutorial at my site

Don't updated using SEUS.
if you updated and find out that its CID53, no problem use JDflasher. It supports CID53 flashing.

so, there is nothin that i can do with the cxc1250669?
plz help yaar.
i cant find ny info on this cxc1 nywhere
or how to flash the firmware to CID52?

just download XS++ 3.1
and install usb flash drivers
then connect phone to XS++ 3.1
if its CID53 it will say not supported
else its CID52 for sure.
follow tutorial and falsh it.

N

Hi guys
I'm trying to flash my k550, but XS++ wont connect to it. It says "Error: Cannot open phone communication port".
Now, does that mean I have CID53 in it? Or am I just doing something wrong

Is there any way to chceck if I have CID53?

not at all
you need to install USB flash drivers.

N

thanks for a quick reply!
It works now and I flashed it, but now I have another problem - when I turn on my phone it says "Insert correct SIM card" :/

It had simlock when i bought it, but then it was unlocked... does it mean I have simlock again? What can I do about it?

EDIT: oh, nevermind. I found the answer already. In case anyone else needs this:

I need the portuguese language, in *seusers.com i have to pay 5 euros!
In *forums.se-nse.net they don't have it.

you can use any GENERIC Europe 1.
not necessary that one only.

there are software to create one too.

else in XS++ you can choose any db2020 phone name instead of custpack and use a EUROPE 1 CDA

K

Hello!
I wanna thank you all for this! Specially to akshayy

Only with reading in this Forum i flashed my k550i successfully to a w610i
Some information:
flash cable drivers gg-setup
cid:51 to cid:52 //With XS++ 3.1 automatically
Main,FS and Custom[Europe3(German)]//XS++ 3.1 too

thanks again to all who wrote here it helped!

akshay,

I updated my phone k550i using seus, that was flashed from w660i. After the phone boot it says configuration error. Any further advised. I've done it because I want to put back the phone to its original software. Thank you...

k550 should be flashed to w610
and why did you update with SEUS.
now you need to use Jdflasher to reflash full to w610i

using xs++ find out what CID it is now. just to know. hope its 52.
if its CID53 we need to use Jdflasher for MAIN+FS+ CDA/Custpack reflash.

yes you can use any custpack

Is there any chance or way to restore gdfs in CID53 phones?

Hii Akshay im going to revert back my k550i but i cant find working links for k550i main and fs...........

and one more thing do i need custpack also for reverting back to k550i...............

or just flashing main and fs will do it........

Hi akshay,

I have a W610i R1JD001 CID52 (I think) and would like the "blacklist" patch put on it. Could you port this patch over?

Thanks

CJ

Stinger
well you can restore gdfs using phonexs.. soon coming for windows.

sorry for late reply..!

CJ !
hmmm i got a better idea. flash your phone with R6BC002 instead. its just the same as flashing k550. but use R6BC002 firmware..

many patches are availble for R6BC002 !!
i can't port now... as i am busy
but i think there were tools to port patches from firmwares to firmwares... please just check out on se-nse !!

hey a_s_h_a_y! i need ur help.. i already flashed my k550 to w610.. i cant use the camera.. whenever i try to open it. it says "another application is running. close it, and then start the camera.." what will i do?.. do i have to flashed it back to k550? i cant open the link of k550 main.. plz help me..

no reflash again. use different fs and cda and main.
better to use R6BC002

i can't back up my GDFS, what seems to be the problem??
should I use JDFlasher?
what firmware should i use to flash it ??
im kinda new to flashing....

you should use CID53 Firmwares.
Don't use 52 firmwares. becareful

we have a tutorial for jdflasher, just google search it.
Also no need to backup gdfs.

btw your phone is CID53 as you can see.
next version of XS++ will support CID53 all operations.
it should come soon now

oh....thanks man. also, which custom pack should i use?? (I live in india, pune)

also, how do i select a compatible firmware?

select any FS and Main and cda, does not matter since you send all SMS in English alphabets.

right-o thanks buddy.

hallo i'm new here... i have a prob my phone was updated to cid53 and xs doesn't support it... what to do???? (i want to flash my k550i to w610 very badly)

you can use jdflasher. it will work. you need cid53 firmwares
you can get at iprotebe or topse.ru
be careful about languages, the FS that you get may not have it.
also you can get more FS at seusers.com

then just google search jdflasher tutorial

S

and what sould i do with jdflasher??? (i'm a noobie at flashing, sorry for asking again an again)

Nice Tutorial...

I have used 'sms it' for backing up my Inbox... Now i am having my display draining away within 5-30 sec. only white screen remains... All other are working fine... Even Display light is working... after 30 sec leaving it untouched...pressing a key..gives another 5-30 sec display.....
What Could be the problem... could it be GDFS error.. because "sms it" shows... some logs as the xs++ dose.... now it can't back up sms from phone memory any more... I have used SEUS.....but nothing changes...
or a problem of LCD connector? Or any other? PLZ HELP

you can use any GENERIC Europe 1.
not necessary that one only.

there are software to create one too.

else in XS++ you can choose any db2020 phone name instead of custpack and use a EUROPE 1 CDA

I need Cust pack W610i_HB1-06_Gen_CDA102568_10_R8A_GENERIC_EUROPE_1 and FS W610_R6BC002_FS_EUROPE_1_RED52, because i nedd the T9 language in Portuguese.
Can anyone help me?

search in 4shared.com
or get from topsony.com or seusers.com
