Download Main2Raw and SEFS Click here
Also you can use Babe2Raw, Instead of Main2Raw , Download here.
Download FS of your choice from the internet. If you don’t know where then contact me. Best place is Topse Russia.
Create a folder by name “ext” or any other name in C:\
copy and paste the FS that you want to extract. Here i take the W610i FS for the tutorial. Rename the FS as w610. Its better to have a short name for the FS then the normal long name W610_R6BC002_FS_S_ASIA_LEVAN_RED52.fbn
copy main2raw and sefstool to that folder
Then in Click the Start > Run
type cmd in run and press ok
Now DOS Prompt will open up
type >> cd\
next type >> cd ext
next type >> main2raw.exe w610
main2raw in a few second creates a file with name raw !
now type SEFStool4 raw
wait for a few minutes you will get the extracted firmwares in a folder called _raw
See the Pictures below !
The pictures make it more easier ! Click On Picture to Enlarge !
Type This Stuff and then hit enter after each command
You get this Next. Main raw has created a file with name raw
Type SEFStool4 raw >> and hit Enter see the picture
Then wait for some time and you get the extracted FS in a folder called _raw in the ext folder that you had created !!
Update: Write every single file in cmd with its extension.
not working on w880 asia levan!!!!!
well it does … !! please try again !!
follow steps correctly !! command mode operation needs to be prefect !!

and infact its only after extracting the firmware patches are developed !! also many hacks are discovered only after extracting using these same tools above !!

Hi Master,
Thanx for yesterday reply to my question about flashing Main, FS and Custpack all in one go.
Hvn’ done yet because I’m trying to add a language to FS before flashing it. Is it worth to try?
So far I extracted FS_EUROPE_1 and I found the language (Spanish, ES) I wanted to add to EUROPE_5.
Is there a way of adding it to EUR 5 FS file (EN, FR, DE, IT) BEFORE flashing it?
Humble regards from your devote admirer.
Lmbrt
Florence, Italy
PS About this tutorial, kindly note that on certain PC’s (like mine Win XP SP2) you may need to type the extension “.fnb” at the cmd “next type >> main2raw.exe w610” and the complete file name (not only “raw”, i.e “W610.raw”) at the cmd “now type SEFStool4 raw”or it won’t do the trick…
ok thanks for that info .. !
now you can’t add in the FS and flash
only after flashing you can do it

pls help!!!!!!!!!
you are making some mistake.
read tutorial properly
no need to extract fs if you are just going to unlock your phone.
ok so pls tell me all wot i need to do pls!!!!!
don’t extract fs.
just patch your phone. no need to extract fs unless you are applying folder change patches
hello…. may i ask…
what is funtion of fs
why is so important to follow this step of fs….
erm… and why not if we just copy its to memory card folder directly….
FS is File System, the set of file the phone uses. E. g. languages, themes, walkman skins, display/camera/acoustic drivers, etc.
Step of FS????
Because these files are not on the memory card, and not possible to access from the phone’s file manager either.
thank… owh…! thats why we should extract it first before copy its to mc/other,…. right!
😛
Not exactly. This tutorial is for people who need files from the FS, like they have started modding and screwed up something, they can use the fs to get the original files and upload them, so there is no need for reflashing FS entirely.
i doing step by step & tried main2raw & babe2raw
but when i enter it come out error what should i do
?
It really has to be at C:\ and name as w610 or so. They have some lame error so not support longer names.
PLEASE!! Somebody can extract the W350i FS???
Well W350 is a DB2020 model, it should be easy to extract it, but seusers.com has no such FW, share2flash only has one CID 53 file. So first wait for them to host such a file. :S
how can i enable flash menu’s in my k800i?
It’s of db2020 and too have a folder
tpa/preset/system/desktop/flash
but i have tried inserting .swf files there..
but it doesn’t worked with the theme……..
you can’t.. sorry.
can i extract a main file
good question.
but not..
its a large program that can’t be extracted.
but can be de-compiled to raw arm instructions and data tables.
fast reply..u are good man..tQ
any idea to extract main file in the future??hihi..
hi all,
can any one tell me how to extract firmware from a SE t610i phone?can it be done?
@cilok: Main is almost like an EXE file on windows. Actually a pretty large one. Contains ARM instructions, exe contains x86 instructions. And resources, pictures, data tables.
It can be extracted like exe files, as Akshay said. Executables can’t be extracted just like that, only decompiled.
@rascalangel: This is the only tutorial we have for that, try this. But I’m not sure, it isn’t DB2010 or 2020, it’s architecture is “AVR”….
hi, anybody who have succesfully extracing a s500i?
could ya plz help trying to ad slide sounds and other elves ant way of ading them with xs++ or setool i find far manager hard to use plz help by e mail thanx
Go to the elpack tutorial. And then use SeTool 2 Lite to flash patches on.
“Peti
Well W350 is a DB2020 model, it should be easy to extract it, … :S”
I have W350_R10AB002_FS_HONG_KONG_RED53.fbn but cant extract this file so can you show me ur way, plz ???
hmmm no its PNX5320
try using babe2raw other versions
search in 4shared.com
do u have to back up ur fone fs aswell????
yes, its PNX5230, i convert .fbn to .raw but cant extract .raw by using sefstool4 ver 4.7, it’s not support W350i ?
@Klai: you don’t.
@Niveta: get extracted fs from topse.ru then.
which is the best cam drive for w610i
shan, sorry no idea. hehe lol

Thanks 4 ur answer
Hello guys!
I have this problem with my phone,
I extracted some flash menus to my w610i with XS++
and my games and programs stopped to work.
Then I tried to flash it with a firmware who seemed to work for my phone, then it turns out an error appears on my screen when I start it.
It says something like “error, contact your network operator or service center”
So, what now?
What have I done wrong?
@Benniq
this problem cant be caused cuz of flash menus!
well…now u wanna re flash your fone…and u are getting some error!ohk…have u uploaded the cda files?????
its mostly caused of not uploading custpack..or uploading the wrong one!
I installed fs without properly customising…
i used W810_R4EA031_FS_T_MOB_INT_B_RED49
But I figure i need
W810_r4ea031_fs_S_asia_levan_red49
I have been searching the same for last 6 hrs…
bt i cant find it anywhere…
can u plz help with the link……!
p.s. [Also the problem for which i wanted to re-flash its firmware is that…my bluetooth and sound recorder suddenly stopped working…]
HAI Akshay… i follow al the step for (w580)changing menu and flash menu up to the menu.ml uploaded in xs++ . but after turn on changes are not geting i fallowed al the steps but i’m not getting the result so
