Tutorial: Flashing k550i to w610i !!

[Hgetis]

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

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]

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

 

[mikaelna]

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 !!!!

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

[a_k_s_h_a_y]

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.

A few Files given to US by fatez our friend in this thread !!

[matt0323]

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

 

[infra_red_dude]

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

 

[a_k_s_h_a_y]

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

ppl report broken links... if anyy

 

[matt0323]

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

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]

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

 

[matt0323]

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

 

[a_k_s_h_a_y]

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..!!

 

[matt0323]

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

 

[infra_red_dude]

^^^ 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]

that means i must use a R6BC002 MAIN?

 

[a_k_s_h_a_y]

^^ 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
