Tutorial: Flashing k550i to w610i !!

[a_k_s_h_a_y]

i dunno if w810i has 3 speakers...
one of my friend says it has 3 speakers...
and one guy *techgenius* on this forum says its got only 1...

w810i has got great camera.. much better music quality ...
k550i does not great camera in low light.. it bad..
its great only in day time...
k550i music is good only with good earphones.. which u must buy separately..
k550i does not have walkman.. so u must flash to w610i u get walkman 2
where as w810i has walkman 1 ...

w810i comes bundled with great earphones hpm 70
where as k550i comes with crap hpm 62
w810i also comes with superb MPS 60 stereo speakers....

and most importantly.. for me k550i is SLIM !!!!!!!
k550i has got much better spec sheet.. apart from bad cam and lil bad music compared to w810i

but if slim does not matter then go for w810i !!

SEUS won't work coz now it'll think that ur s500i is now a w580i. i think you should try again wid XS++ on a different computer wid a different cable. you should be able to flash it to the original s500i firmware.

w810i doesn't haf 3 speakers. its just 1 onboard speaker. it was only w550i that had 3 speakers (for the surround mode).

hey i recharged fully and tried opening in xs++ it said failed to open port . but tried opening with 2+5 pressed it said usb device in the system .
09:57:29| Baseband ID: 9900
09:57:29| Hardware Platform: db2020
09:57:29| Protocol Version: 3.1
09:59:41| Disconnected... Unplug the phone
09:59:46| Shutting down...

and it said port opened .

 

[infra_red_dude]

i suggest you remove the usb flash drivers. then install them again and try.

 

[danishlive]

After flashing to w610i, are there any problems like slow opening of applications, etc.?

 

[digitizen]

i just dropped it in the service centre . and they told me to call tomo .

i see theire is 2 min 12 Sec gap between 09:57:29 and 09:59:41.. what happened in between ?? no response ??

ppl who tried to update w580i EROM had same problems... !
some SE EROMs have this problems..

damn it..we should have taken caution before flashing it.. !

let us all know what the service center guys had to say about the phone.. !
it will be very helpful...

dude sorry for ur phone's death...! this flashing of s500i to w580i has not been tried by many...
we all know its possible to flash.. and had no idea what problem could be caused...
all db2020 and CID52 phones can be flashed easily and with no problems.. generally..

its because of corrupt Main and EROM problems...
and a gdfs backup would have been nice....!!!!!

read this topic..

and don't forget to let us know the service center guys reply..

no buddy no such problems..a k550i flashed to w610i works flawlessly !!!!!!!

Re: 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.

dude insanely wrong yaar... hey u still using last .zapf acoustics and not w900 because those are apf format..
those apf of w900 are not being used they are sitting in FS only as junk files !

i checked it out just now !!!!!!! infact my friend rutwik told me do soo.!!

congrats !! good to know.... tell me more...!
where u from ?? and how u got all the resources and how did u get to know abt this tut ??

@ all !

XS++ 2.0 has been released and its even more easier to use...
in that the step where u select break XS has been removed
and now it supports GDFS back up.. which means we don't have to use the dangerous SeTool 2 lite.

how would you back up GDFS if you got k550i FS and w610 MAIN???

 

[a_k_s_h_a_y]

how would you back up GDFS if you got k550i FS and w610 MAIN???

now i did back up my GDFS using XS++ v2.2 it works great flawlessly

but SETOOL 2 lite failed me once... thankfully my phone survived !

@ akshay...

I'm from philippines... and now i have done it the full W610 FS, i have learned about this tut when i searched google "k550 to w610" i downloaded all files in your tutorial links...

At first i had problems with the custompacks in your link on your tut (the one in the rapidshare), still error after flashing... i was so tense and afraid my phone has problems... so i downloaded the one in iProTebe...
HB1-06_Gen_CDA102568_207_R2A_GENERIC_CENT_EUROPE.zip
it worked well... finally with a deep breath...

i have one more question... regarding flashing of flash menus... is this a totally new own_custpack folder or i use this - "HB1-06_Gen_CDA102568_207_R2A_GENERIC_CENT_EUROPE.zip" then add the flash folder? did you understand my question? if not i will rephrase my question...

i did not understand your question that much....
now if your phone is starting without that customization error..
then just proceed !! and send flash menu to phone's file system !!

and don't worry about cust packs u can use any cust pack for any phone..
only thing is u must add line of the language that u want in customize.xml !!

if u use english then u won't have problems..!

what's with the rapidshare link ?? its not working ? i will fix it today !

 

[semaj]

@ akshay

the rapidshare link is not broken but the downloaded file is not working for me...

ok i will rephrase my question... here goes... tell me which procedure to use?

PROCEDURE A
1. create "own_custpack" folder in the XS++.exe directory.
2. unzip "HB1-06_Gen_CDA102568_207_R2A_GENERIC_CENT_EUROPE.zip" in the own_custpack folder.
3. open "own_custpack" folder.
4. open "tpa" folder.
5. open "preset" folder.
6. In "peset" folder create "system" folder.
7. open "system" folder and create "desktop" folder.
8. open "desktop" folder and create flash folder.
9. open "flash" folder and paste all .swf files you want.
10. then we flash using xs++

PROCEDURE B
1. create "own_custpack" folder in the XS++.exe directory.
2. open "own_custpack" folder and create "tpa" folder.
3. open "tpa" folder and create "preset" folder.
4. open "preset" folder and create "system" folder.
5. open "system" folder and create "desktop" folder.
6. open "desktop" folder and create flash folder.
7. open "flash" folder and paste all .swf files you want.
8. then we flash using xs++

Please tell me, is it procedure A or B?? I hope you can help me out...

by the way, what country are you from? Thanks in advance...

Re: Best acoustic drivers for K550i:Original W900i acoustics

about the w900i acoustics:when i updated the w900i acous. using XS++, it did get successfully flashed in and there was definitely a change in the Sound output.I did put int the same w900i acous twice after flashing in W800i and W700i acous. and both times i got the same sound output as i got when i first updated the W900i acous...also if the sound files would be sitting as junk then i would have got back my original dumb sounding K550i acous..Dunno how but i think i'm got W900i working...and if its not W900i then it must b W700i(i flashed those in Before w900i ,,original W700i and not W800i as i replied back 2 days back,,i went and checked the notepad file on my laptop in which i had saved the sequence of sound file updates)..please do the needful about W900i acous...
