^^ 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 !!

www.esnips.com

and give the links !!! thanks !!


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 !!

OK, i've uploaded the k550i and w610i custom, FS, and main in one file. Both are R1DJ001 RED 51 GENERIC AMERICA 2. Languages: English, Portuguese and Spanish.

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...

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"/> <!-- 0 -->
to:
<attr value="2"/> <attr value="174"/> <attr value="5"/> <attr value="-10"/> <attr value="10"/> <!-- 0 -->

Do not modify any other text.
That's all


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

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

still not working?!? kinder stuck now no phone at all lol wont expect my sim card why? 02 uk im on
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 ?
