Tutorial: Flashing k550i to w610i !!

a_k_s_h_a_y · Nov 9, 2007

^^ about that cable i am not sure...! it might work or not..
you must search for cruiser cable ! or service cable.. i will see into today and try to find more..!

contact the guy who unlocked your phone.. that guy can help u revive your phone i suppose.. because he will be having required tools mostly !

i hope the GDFS that you worte is just backup copy of GDFS made from w810i

so i see that even that 2+5 service mode failed to put back GDFS to phone

most of these programs don't work on vista properly.. they are made for XP !!

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 ??

My phone is k550... right now it is flashed to w610... before i was asking you about w880 acoustic and menu.ml customization working on a complete k550i and you said yes!!...

here are my toughts!
For K550 Main!
1. Cybershot! Image output is more better than w610
2. k550 has video thumbnail preview...
3. Active Camera Lens Cover!

W610Main:
1. Walkman 2
2. Support for Flash Files (SWF files and Flash Menus)

But still, I'm on the process of evaluating which suit my personality most! hehe... maybe you can think about it also... lol...

also i have a back up for my k550i GDFS like might also i found a nice download on isohunt.com = torrent files search for "Phone Buisness" look what u can download

ill try new cable when it comes see what happens

thanks ill post replys like

hey except the thumb nail video preview in k550i is not in w610i true
yes the camera kind of works well in k550i because of main firmware
about zapf and menu ml its the same for all sony ericsson phones... not only k550 and w610i
zapf is for all db2020 phones

menu ml icon changing works for all db2010 and db2020 sony ericsson phones ...!!

camera driver modding works for all SE phones with camera
and its the same as that of k550 or w610i. but different camera driver

flash menu work only on new SE phones with support !!
and k550 has better phone book ? explain.. its the same in w610i right ?

50pounds that's good news
all the best with that
yes those torrents few people are sharing them...!

but i got a better idea .. of closed sharing on Esnips..!
on esnips you can allow only your friends to download your files !

I see!

about phonebook/contacts... k550 have more data entries... more features like sorting of names by surname or first name.... I notice this feature the firstime I used the phone before flashing to w610... but this was all gone when I flashed to W610... I may be dreaming or something,hehe... I don't remember exactly but I will verify as soon as I revert back to k550 firmware and post results here... or maybe someone with the original k550 firmware verify this... I maybe wrong.... I will edit my post if I'am wrong...

Just wondering if the k550 firmware support flash menu?!

a_k_s_h_a_y · Nov 10, 2007

no k550 has no support for flash menus
but u can have custom menu

Why are you restoring GDFS if you flashed wrong main ??
GDFS write is only if GDFS variables are corrupt !!

just reflash Main again that's all

when you try to flash rar file you willl get error saying WRONG HEADER
that's it

now cancel this GDFS write...don't worry nothing is going to happen

hi guys ....

i just got an icon pack resembling the i-phone icons .....

For those who have followed Akshay's tutorial (created shortcuts in phone memory ) , just replace the icons in /other/menu/live with the following icon pack ....

*www.esnips.com/web/kelvinralph-mobilestuff/

others who have not yet made the shortcuts go to the first page of this forum ...

try it guys ....

cheers

semaj · Nov 12, 2007

Hi all I found this thread on se-nse where you can download icons... lots of them.... the hard part is you have to look for it in every single post.. the thread right now has 153 pages with 20 post each... approximatly 3000+ post... lol... have fun searching... its worth searching & downloading... heres the link...

to all:

is there a way to recover the lens cover function after the conversion?

I think it is not possible for now... because that function is in the main firmware... just like the walkman2... right now there is no software to edit the main firmware... for now you just have to use the camera button at the lower right side to activate it or make a shortcut on the D pad...

Well why use a SEtools2lite which has not been so stable at times

??

Instead go for the XS++ 3.0 (beta ) which has now even a file explorer interface with u can browse the various folders in the file system !!!!

I recommend u use a xs++ 3.0 which u can download from the first page of the forum .....

or try this link provided by hgetis in the forum ...

this will giv u all the stuff u need .....

try it ... gud luck ...

Some more moddings -- Camera frames

hi guys ... I just saw the way to add frames to ur pics

here is the path to add frame images ...

tpa/preset/system/multimedia/pe/frames/

Just download some 240x320 sized .png files which can b used as frames and add them to the above path in the file system ....

here are 2 good glass frames I found .....

*www.esnips.com/web/kelvinralph-mobilestuff/

To enable the frames , open camera , then settings > shoot mode > frames and select the desired frames .... easy as that

try them ...
