Re: Tutorial: Flashing k550i to w610i !!
^^ 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 !

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

Re: Tutorial: Flashing k550i to w610i !!
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...

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...

Re: Tutorial: Flashing k550i to w610i !!
^^ 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 !

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? |

Re: Tutorial: Flashing k550i to w610i !!
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:
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".  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... |

Re: Tutorial: Flashing k550i to w610i !!
^^^ 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

Re: Tutorial: Flashing k550i to w610i !!
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 http://www.topsony.com/forum/cmps_index.php best would be you ask him !!

Re: Tutorial: Flashing k550i to w610i !!
^^ 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
