Tutorial: Flashing k550i to w610i !! - Page 4

paarth · 22-09-2007, 04:10 PM

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

When i downloaded Sony Ericsson Update Service (SEUS) TO UPDATE YOUR K550 TO CID52 installed it and tried to start it it said

I tried to go to macromedia.com but it redirected me to adobe, so i downloaded adobe flash player and installed it but it still sais the same thing about macromedia. Any ideas?

Hi Akshay .....

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

check these pics ..... some strange line in the middle of all pics .... both during day n night

http://rapidshare.com/files/57588346/DSC01417.jpg
http://rapidshare.com/files/57588521/DSC01408.jpg
http://rapidshare.com/files/57588744/DSC01447.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

regards

kelvin

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 ........

pls help ...

one more photo and still the same problem

http://www.esato.com/board/viewtopic...5098&start=120

The clarity is very much ok

But that line destroys the photo

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 ??

paarth · 23-09-2007, 04:35 PM

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

wants to upgrade his phone.

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

i'm counting on you

.

digitizen · 23-09-2007, 04:57 PM

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 !!!!!!!!!!!

Hgetis · 24-09-2007, 02:35 AM

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!!
Thanasis

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

http://www.iprotebe.cz/download/W610...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...PE_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

a_k_s_h_a_y · 24-09-2007, 06:26 PM

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

a_k_s_h_a_y · 24-09-2007, 06:44 PM

what's the swedish language code first of all ??

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.

infra_red_dude · 25-09-2007, 12:31 PM

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

a_k_s_h_a_y · 25-09-2007, 05:07 PM

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

infra_red_dude · 25-09-2007, 07:40 PM

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

matt0323 · 25-09-2007, 07:48 PM

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

a_k_s_h_a_y · 25-09-2007, 07:49 PM

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

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

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

matt0323 · 25-09-2007, 07:57 PM

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

infra_red_dude · 25-09-2007, 08:09 PM

^^^ 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.

matt0323 · 25-09-2007, 08:15 PM

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 just use the search in there for w610i and u will get everything releated to w610i

then also try this folders

http://xsse.4shared.com/

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

http://www.4shared.com/dir/1987194/e...Firmwares.html

try this also
