hi akshay,

i successfuly flashed my k550i to w610i w/o any prob, both MAIN/FS to w610i.

And how do i backup GDFS ?

Is there a better font pack available, TFD really sucks, tft is better.

thanks
hanu_blr

 

[a_k_s_h_a_y]

to back up GDFS !
select phone as w610i and click READ GDFS
since u hv phone with both MAIN AND FS
in case of any problems ( which is rare with new XS++ ) your phone will be revived as w610i !! later u can flash back to k550i if u want..
u will get GDFS in .bin ...keep it safely !!

fonts ok i will see into it...

the creator of the loader told me all db2020 phones are safe and also immune from all such problems if u hv backup of GDFS.. so lets make one back up of it..
coz we can write back GDFS !! in case it breaks !!

 

[hanu_blr]

akshay, sorry i coudnt findout in xs++ to backup GDFS, i connected the fone with press C, got detected, then i selected gdfs in settings, here i see phone lock, phone profile, dump gdfs this is grayed out!. gdfs scrpit to select. where to select phone model ?

Or someother tool ? to bkup gdfs ?

-hanu_blr

Oh man you have no idea what you were about to do !!!
XS++ does not support GDFS write and read !!!!!

i meant that if you don't know what your phone is then connect your phone to XS++ and as soon as you connect it it will show some details of your phone on the left screen like this !

18:28:54| Turn off phone
18:28:54| Hold 'C' button on phone and connect phone.
18:28:54| You have 30 seconds.

i meant use this log to know your PHONE MODEL is !! here it is w610i so i have to choose W610i in SEtool 2 lite to back up my GDFS !!!

if XS++ had show it as k550i then u have to choose phone model as K550i In Setool 2 lite to backup GDFS !!

only SeTool 2 lite can help u Backup GDFS as of now as of now

ok sorry if it was ineffective communication of information on my part !
i hv removed those confusing statements now ! make it simple !!

k550i Main k550i FS >> select phone as k550i in Setool 2 lite to back up GDFS
w610i Main w610i FS >> Slect phone as w610i in Setool 2 lite to back up GDFS

w610i Main k550i FS >> Don't backup GDFS.. phone might die
k550i Main W610i FS >> Don't backup GDFS phone might die .. coz here there might be confusion !

 

[hanu_blr]

akshay, ok i figured that its not possible to backup GDFS in xs++, did a google, found that setool2lite will do the job!

anyway thanks, -hanu_blr

u dint hv to google search...
i hv given in tut the link to download and instuctions to use setool 2 lite

so how is your phone now ??
i was analysing fonts but came across a big 1.1 mb file with .ccc extension...
now dunno what to do with that....
may be overwriting font files might do... lets see wht can be done

Best acoustic drivers for K550i:Original W900i acoustics

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.

@akshay i have flashed my phone it works nicely . but i have not backed u my gdfs is that a problem ?

 

[a_k_s_h_a_y]

@akshay i have flashed my phone it works nicely . but i have not backed u my gdfs is that a problem ?

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

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

*rapidshare.com/files/57588521/DSC01408.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

*www.esato.com/board/viewtopic.php?topic=155098&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 ??

Re:Wanted Flash solution for Z530i

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]

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 !!!!!!!!!!!
