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

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 ?

hey there thanks for reply

02 is a uk network use to be called bt cellnet ive tryed 3 sim cards now all saying the same **** lol also ive flashed these files now and still no help.

also the sim lock was unlocked from a shop i went cost me £15 worked for every network untill i flashed my phone.

phone type is k550I had branded software orange on it/

K550_R6BC002_FS_CENT_EUROPE_RED52
K550_R6BC002_MAIN_GENERIC_LI_RED52

K550_HB1-06_Gen_CDA102568_207_R2A_GENERIC_CENT_EUROPE (custpack)

got them from this website: *se-firmware.extra.hu/?path=./Firmware/K550i/CID52/R6BC002/

now what am i going to do lol? thanks

^^^ ok dats bad.. i had bad feeling that u had got it unlocked..

now again its locked.. very badly...

try to put in the GDFS backup that u had done before following my tutorial

i hope you had made a GDFS backup before flashing to w610i but after unlocking your k550i !!
now write back that GDFS
this should work...!

use XS++ 3.0 to write back GDFS..

all the best !!

if it does not then i don't know about unlocking.. may be try to get that done from somewhere else .. the same place who had unlocked
now even the O2 original sim does not work ??

leave email id.. i shall mail you .. incase i find a solution !!

well sorry i verified it.. now
your phone was patch unlocked ... means the phone is unlocked by patching the Main

since u flashed in a fresh main u can't do anything

You must flash it to w610 and then get it patch unlocked by people who can do it !! this way u can flash your phone to w610i !! this is bad
its going to cost you 15 pounds again i guess

and what's up with k550 menu original.. its got nothing to do with this problem !

oh fcuk so cant settool do tis if i get a log? thanks for your replys

a_k_s_h_a_y · Nov 8, 2007

^^ yes am sorry for you

u know i should have included a warning for people having locked phones
but i did not do it because it would scare people from Rest of the world because locked phones are sold only in EUROPE i suppose

in ASIA no locked phones are sold !

If SeTool 2 can perform patch unlock then go for it !

you will get complete support in SeTool 2 Forum !! Just talk to people there !
all the best

this is the SeTool 2 forum ! run by the_laser

@ 50pounds... sorry to here about your phone!!! I hope something can be done...

@ akshay... still no luck with the play now icon... I was playing with my phone yesterday with the original play now icon and the rest of the icons are urban icons... at first I turned off the phone and restart after 3 seconds... still the same play now icon... (I was hoping for an icon reset)... then I again turn off the phone this time removing the battery, then insert it back & turned on the phone... Guess what?! ... Menu icons are back to the default SE Icons... Hehe...

I think removing battery is some sort of software reset.... I'll again flash shortcuts without battery removal... I'll post results later...

oh god please help my phone

try to write back original GDFS of your phone using SeTool 2 lite .. hopefully that works...

btw did u put your help request to revive your phone in SEtool 2 forum
i guess laser will have a solution for your phone

A service cable can surely fix your phone ... i suppose
because one guy reversedhex fixed his dead k550i using service cable

what about redlight.. i hope that does not blink !!
if it does not then very good.. EROM Is in good condition then just write back GDFS with service cable ! like curiser cable.. i don't much about this.. ask number1 about it ...!

hey now connect phone to SeTool 2 lite holding 2 + 5 ( not C ) then write back original GDFS
try the same with XS++ 3.0 !! all with your DCU 60 Cable !!

lol i am not getting what is happening there...

hey follow this ok

download w610i custom menu form the esnips folder akmenu

then put this menu in live folder and restart phone also don't forget to put urban icons in that live folder

btw which phone ? k550 or k550@w610 ??

if u have k550 then use k550 custom menu from esnips folder akmenu

i hope you are using shortcut method !! its soo easy
to use shortcut method

first create that live folder in other >> menu >> live

put all icons and w610 or k550 custom menu ml in there

then using far or xs++ delete menu ml from phone fs

don't start phone

Copy all 25 shortcuts ( those 25 @ files ) to the menu folder in FS

start phone.. this way everything goes correct !

Yes I followed everything, I'm also using the shortcuts... when I change the icons in the live folder menu icons are replaced... but again the original play now icon is displayed... hopelesss I think!

but luckily I found the solution!!! heres what I did:
I opened the menu.ml in notepad I noticed that there are 2 options for Icon1... the first option is:

<element lock="icons" id="PlayNow" replace="next">
<label type="name" textid="DIL_PRE_PLAY_LINK_TXT" />
<icon pos="unselected" source="internal">PREPLAY_DESKTOP_ICN</icon>
<icon pos="selected" source="internal">PREPLAY_DESKTOP_SELECTED_ICN</icon>

the second is:

<element lock="icons" id="OperatorWebPage">
<label type="name" textid="SONYERICSSON_TXT" />
<icon pos="unselected" source="file">icon1_unselected.png</icon>
<icon pos="selected" source="file">icon1_selected.png</icon>

apparently my phone has no internet settings yet so my phone is using the original play now icon from the internal source... but if you have internet settings already then the phone uses the custom icon from the file source...

with this I edited the the first option source from "internal" to "file" and "PREPLAY_DESKTOP_ICN" to "icon1_unselected.png", then same goes to the selected....

I loaded it to the live folder... and there it goes... its all ok now....

heres the edited menu.ml file....

joost206 · Nov 9, 2007

you can also set it to bluetooth or games

a_k_s_h_a_y · Nov 9, 2007

oops sorry .. yes its a mistake that i made

only for operator logo i changed it to icon1_selected !

for play now i had not done that ..!! i guess u set it correct
hehe lol.. thanks !!

for playnow it was still set to use original icons as u can see in the menu ml that i had uploaded
good work ...!!

but stilll i have a doubt .... you have w610 or k550 ??
