START :
0: backup all contacts !! yes back up everything in phone..ur ringtones etc.etc
to back up contacts use MyPhoneExplorer (http://www.fjsoft.at/en/)
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 (http://www.thinkdigit.com/forum/showpost.php?p=595909&postcount=9) ! )
Backup of GDFS ! ( to be done only after updating phone )
Now u can use XS++ 2.2 to backup GDFS..
http://forums.se-nse.net/index.php?showtopic=16338 (http://www.2shared.com/file/2319220/4b398c76/XS_online.html)

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

( 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..!

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.!

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..!
http://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 ! (http://www.esnips.com/doc/dc790ab8-dd3d-49f8-a69d-b7f8b60394bb/How_to_use_FSX_effectively)
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
http://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
176x220
http://rapidshare.com/files/34781908/176_220.zip
http://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 (http://www.esnips.com/doc/15dea887-6c7c-4571-8a12-b3a98a5b8b7e/Convert-to-Theme-to-Flash-menu)
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

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
http://www.esnips.com/doc/96d3a935-2c02-47...115e86f045a/JPx (http://www.esnips.com/doc/96d3a935-2c02-471f-991a-9115e86f045a/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
http://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

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
http://rapidshare.com/files/53570341/MENU.ML.html
or esnips link
http://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 !!!
http://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...

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 !!

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

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 http://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
http://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
http://img26.picoodle.com/img/img26/6/11/4/f_Urbanw710m_c262337.png
download urban icon packs.. its theme is also there
http://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
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 !!

A REQUEST !!
Please Take Pictures Before Flashing and Pictures of same things After Flashing !!
And Upload for Comparison !!! Thank you !
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 !!
http://www.thinkdigit.com/forum/showpost.php?p=677181&postcount=459
and please follow this tutorial for using SEtool 2 lite
http://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

note: THIS WILL VOID UR WARRANTY. AND USING SEUS WON'T GET UR PHONE BACK TO K550I FIRMWARE. YOU GOTTA FLASH K550I MAIN AND FS TO GET IT BACK AND BEFORE TAKING IT TO A SE SERVICE CENTER.
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
infra_red_dude
03-09-2007, 11:20 PM
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.

or download from the vast internet.....which ever u want...
here u get many.. iprotebe (http://www.iprotebe.cz)
and upload the acoustic files to this folder

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

i know thats what i said
i also said k850i wil have cybershot and walkman in it
do u get walkman 2 using this?
a_k_s_h_a_y
07-09-2007, 05:02 PM
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...
infra_red_dude
08-09-2007, 01:13 AM
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.) :)

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

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
infra_red_dude

you can't jus haf walkman 2.0 on cyber shot phone. you need to flash the whole MAIN firmware.
a_k_s_h_a_y
14-09-2007, 02:39 PM
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 :D
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 :D
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 ???

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 !!

Secret Codes for Sony Ericsson phones
Sony Ericsson Secret Menu: -> * <- <- * <- *
(-> means press joystick, arrow keys or jogdial to the right and <- means left.)
You'll see phone model, software info, IMEI, configuration info, sim lock status, REAL time clock, total call time and text labels.

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
a_k_s_h_a_y
16-09-2007, 10:25 AM
^^^ 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)
a_k_s_h_a_y
16-09-2007, 02:33 PM
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 !!!

16-09-2007, 02:37 PM
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 ?

16-09-2007, 05:11 PM

then there is xaero ma loud.. another loud acoustic.. since its loud did not bother to test it ..

Hello Akshay:p
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 :cool:
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????:oops: :oops: (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 ????
a_k_s_h_a_y
16-09-2007, 09:03 PM
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
http://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 :p
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 ?????:confused::confused:
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 :oops::oops:)
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 ???:confused::confused:
U MUST DO THE CUSTOMISATION AND THEN RESTART ??????
WHY DOES IT NOT WORK AFTER FLASHING FS ???:confused:

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 !!

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 !!

Hey Ak! How are u?
in accordin to u :
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 ?
a_k_s_h_a_y
18-09-2007, 10:28 PM
^^ 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 (http://www.esnips.com/doc/4188cda1-bf6e-41b0-bee6-82377df64b03/LANGUAGE)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 !

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 !

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

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 !!

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 !

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.

@akshay i have flashed my phone it works nicely . but i have not backed u my gdfs is that a problem ?
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

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 :cool:
regards

Akshay .... :-)
Could u pls giv me the orginal w610i cam drivers ??? They might work 4 me .... now I am using the orginal cam driver that chriss has posted in esato forum for k550i modded cam driver ........

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 ??

:confused: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..........

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...

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
(http://www.wotanserver.com/en/supported-phones/sonyericsson-w610-debranding/firmware-r6bc002-cid52-languages.html)
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
http://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 !
http://rapidshare.com/files/35810579/W610_R1KG001_FS_EUROPE_4_RED52.rar

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

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.. :confused:
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.

could it be because i flashed the MAIN with w610_R6BC002_MAIN_GENERIC_NA_RED52?

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.

that means i must use a R6BC002 MAIN?
a_k_s_h_a_y
25-09-2007, 08:29 PM
^^ 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 (http://www.4shared.com) just use the search in there for w610i and u will get everything releated to w610i
then also try this folders

hi guys,
I flashed my k550i with http://www.iprotebe.cz/download/K550_R6BC002_FS_T_MOB_INT_A_RED52.rar.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,

@ 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

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 !

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..

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 !!!

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... !

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...

@akshay, does k550i have 3 speakers like w810i ? and is sound also same in k550i....
did u find any difference in both phones ?
a_k_s_h_a_y
30-09-2007, 11:53 PM
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).

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.. (http://forums.se-nse.net/index.php?showtopic=15685)

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.!!

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.

@ 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 !

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

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..

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?

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.

db2020 is something like chipset..

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... :D ... 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

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..
or u PM desman and tariq they both have it..! i lost its links..

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?:confused:
a_k_s_h_a_y
13-10-2007, 11:23 PM
^^ 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 )

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...
a_k_s_h_a_y
14-10-2007, 10:36 AM
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 http://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..!
http://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
http://www.esnips.com/doc/15dea887-6c7c-4571-8a12-b3a98a5b8b7e/Convert-to-Theme-to-Flash-menu
also u can follow it in here..!
http://forums.se-nse.net/index.php?showtopic=16445
and download Central Europe and Central Asia FS ( its got arabic ) also cust packs

^^ 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 got a new link to check languages Present in FS..!

http://www.topsony.com/forum/cmps_index.php?page=info_lenguaje

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:mad:) 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!

aloha!
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!
Akshay, u know why is that!!
Cheers!
PS:
I've added a link to XS++ v2.2 and to some jar files -apps & games- [need pass for that!]! Check here (http://www.thinkdigit.com/forum/showpost.php?p=628213&postcount=214)!

Im using k320i.. can i i change the sound driver to acoustic like this K550I? OR this phone cant be moded?
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 ;)!
