Here we discuss how to flash the firmware. Also debranding a phone is flashing the phone with a generic main and a generic FS of your region
SE phone Firmware has two parts.
Main Firmware which contains all the phone software. Main firmware file has the .mbn extension.
FS is a firmware which has settings and all other data like the default Images and Ringtones and all other files that is used by phone. It has .fbn file extension.
Before you flash the main firmware make GDFS BACKUP. GDFS backup is very important and not to be missed. You also need to have USB Flash Drivers Installed.
The video Shows how to flash the firmwares. Watch the video tutorial (attached at the End).
Now some important information
In this video a w610 firmware is flashed to a k550. But you must use the firmware of your phone, if your phone is a k810 then use k810 firmwares. But if your phone is S500 then you can use either S500 Firmwares or W580 Firmware, etc.
For debranding its necessary to flash both main and fs.
Only the Main can be flashed. Not a problem. But its always recommenced to flash FS also.
Many FS are available for a phone, you must choose the FS that has your language files
By default all FS have English langauge.
You can download FS and Main from TOPSONY. Or for free from TOPSE if the FS for your area is available. Or you can make a request at se-nse firmware section. People those who have the firmware should help you. Also check out my download section for few links.
If you are flashing the FS then you must also do customization or flashing of CDA. If you don’t do then phone won’t start. Your phone will halt boot saying configuration error. To do this you must download Custpack from se-nse download area. And flash them using own_custpack method which is shown in the video as well.
Download Links For XS++ and everything else is here
Regards Akshay.
its hard to find S500 Firmwares …. !!! If you are using ENGLISH then fine .. i have FS for it
if you are using any other languages then its tough. Or you can buy FS of your language from Topsony For 2 EURO
btw Main Firmwares is easy to find because its the same for everyone .. its only the FS.. !!
sure enjoy your phone .. then later flash it to w580
we have FS for w580 for any language and region.
Just use your phone now for few weeks then we can directly DEBRAND it to a W580 and also UNLOCK it.
but you are lucky coz here we have ANZ FS 😉

Thanks for the help, still to do it but just wanted to make sure it doesn’t make a difference that the firmware is main generic my phone says China. (btw, all i need is english)
Would the main here: http://translate.google.com/translate?u=http%3A%2F%2Fwww.topse.ru%2Ffiles%2F&langpair=ru%7Cen&hl=en&ie=UTF-8
(S500 R8BA024 MAIN CHINA LY RED52)
be any better?
And could i use it with the custpack and FS u gave above? Also what’s ANZ stand for?
Most importantly, i just realised i was an absolute douche and put up my IMEI number, could u please edit my post.
Thanks
CHINA MAIN ?? don’t u use english ?? if you are using english then you can go for generic
only china taiwan hongkong have different main, rest others same .. so if u wanted chinese then china main .. else generic will do
yes the fs and custpack that i gave
Thanks man, unbranded and unlocked!!!! Great tutorials :P. As for china, weird an australian phone has china firmware eh?
Also could u do me a favor and erase my IMEI number in the first post (jan 24, 12:13) by Herbet, on the 9th line. I didn’t realise i put it up.
Thanks again man, saved myself $80!
ok ur phone is still S500 ?? or w580 ??
you are another good example here
many ppl keep complaining some or other problem .. they just don’t follow tutorial properly .. !!
i got the configuration error after i flash my k800 firmware(R8BA024)….now as u stated how do i know which Custpack i have to download??
custpack can be flashed at any time
prevez dude you did not follow tutorial properly
in the video it says clearly if you don’t flash in custpack then phone will say config error .. lol
you should have put in a custpack and phone would have started you hurried a lot.
thnkz akshay, yes i know that i missed the main part:-(….but which custpack should i download for k800 R8BA024 firmware..?? can i download and apply any custpack?…it’ll be nice if you plz help
if i re flash the firmware (main + fs) with the custpack…should it be ok again?
sorry dude for disturbing..but Se-nse has looots of custpacks in the DB2020 page…which one should i choose for my k800i?
choose any that’s has same name as of the FS
Thaaaaaaaaaankz man…….u r simply Gr8;-P……..i had to return back my k800 from sony ericsson service center cz they informed me they are failed to fix the phone (sony ericsson service center of Bangladesh is a total garbage)…then i flashed my cell again with the custpack…and now it is as good as new……Thankz again man…..if someday u come to visit Bangladesh, contact me..i’ll give u a treat;-P…
PLEASE delete my imei number please
I managed to patched K550I to W610 🙂
If I want to change the FS file to a different region for an alternative language. Can i just flash this FS on its own ? and do I loose the unlock patch in the process ?
yes u can flash only FS no problem
don’t forget custpack after FS flash 😉
I dont much of a know of the flashing.

hey akshay. i just saw w660i phone. it looks similar to our w610i. can we flash our phone to it. only problem with w660 is that is doesn’t have flash. just check it out.
I am planning to upgrade my firmware to 024 from 002. saw ur video tutorial its cool. BUt is xs safe or is there any method to do this stuff via setool2lite. i need the custom pack for it. I live in mumbai. can u please tell which custom pack to use. pls send me the link.
yogesh .. XS is safe
all download links are given .. check out once again
ya i have downloaded two custom packs. but which one shuld I choose.
1)HB1-06_Gen_CDA102568_207_R2A_GENERIC_CENT_EUROPE.zip which is 836kb
2)W610i_HB1-06_Gen_CDA102568_5_R8A_GENERIC_S_ASIA_LEVAN.zip which is 24kb
Remember i want for R8B024 firmware.
anybody home!!!!!!!!!.
can some one give me the answer
use one which matches your firmware !
and i am student studying enginneering .. am not here at site for support 24×7 !! so u got to wait !
or read tutorials properly which say use Custpack which Match FS Region 😉
I think i have really made u upset. I’m sorry. the knowledge that u have provided is really priceless. We all count on you. can u do me 1 more favour. actually when i enter write new in messaging section, i cantsee alphabets. i’m not able to express it. the column besides the ‘a’ column comes blank. like when we press 2 abc comes besides ‘a’. recently i observed that it is coming blank, a white column is coming. can u tell me how to fix it. have u blocked me up on this site.
ok then reflash FS and Main
i have blocked everyone
because if some one posts links that are very large and it gets approved automatically then its a problem for the website …
now all comments go through moderation
hi love what you are doing! i folloed this procedure and i got the config error at phone start up. i think it is bad fs but i followed all the steps in xs. could you help me? thanks budddy
Did you upload the customization pack?
If so, then probably the firmware is bad, also the custpack can be bad. Look at sek750.extra.hu for custpacks….
Dude hi
I’m trying to use the Fsx but i’m getting this responce
Sending db2010_cid49red_cs_r3a010.bin…
and then everything stops!
any suggestions??
do a full reflash of fs main and custpack and then use fsx !
Hi, How to open the video tutorial?? it is saving as an exe file and is not supported by any media player.

its got a player embed into it
Hi akshayy.. I am having this problem of OPERATION FAILURE. So wen i try to connect my W610i to XS++ it is saying ” Error: Cannot open phone communication port ” wat should i do??
install usb flash drivers or SEUS and update phone
Hi akshayy.. where can i find nice appz & games for W610i??
Hey akshay i was trying to apply patches to my phone… but when i start SEtool2lite, as soon as i click on add file to add the main file it closes on its own..! i tried using FAR manager but the phone starts in between after i connect it.. the phone is connected and works fine with XS++ even the USB flash drivers are installed..!? can u give a reason why its happeing and what I must do now..!
k Elamaran ! you find them at gameteam.ru
and apps at getjar.com
salony ! what are you trying to do ? and which phone ?? i think you are adding wrong files maybe !
let me know .. what exactly you are trying to do !
No akshay… I’m not trying to put any files… i downloaded Setool2lite from the link given by you… When i was trying to apply the quick access patch, i had just clicked on ‘…’ to select the files but the setool2lite automatically closes on its own.. then i thought of using jdflasher but once i connect and click on bflash, it gives an error and the phone starts on its own..! help..! like i said i have SEUS installed and also checked that USB flash drivers are there and even XS++ is doing fine..! what’s the problem..!?
and yeah my phone is k550i flashed to w610i using your tutorial… my firmware is R8BA024..!
ok ! i got it !! but quick acces patch directly ??
don’t you first do db2020 bypass and then quick access path !! while applying the actual quick access you don’t choose quick access ! i just now tested the software .. no such problems !! can you please follow tutorial once again ??
you should select the quick access option ! only when you are applying other patches !
also go for a full reflash of Fs and main ! and custpack ! remember if you do it then all patches applied will have to re applied !!
or you download the software from else where !
google search can get u it ! easily !
generally setool 2 lite has problems with vista and its not that stable as a software … !!
yeah sorry i meant that i was bypassing db2020 security only..!
Neys i just noticed that when i connected my phone to My phone Explorer it showed me 2 files on memory stick which i never saw before.. one is autorun.inf and another with an extension .cmd..! I’m not able to delete them.. advise me what to do…!?
and another thing… i’m not able to connect to PC suite as well… how do i format my memory stick now..!? what would master reset do…!?
and can u please check if these 2 files are also there in your phone.. they’re being shown when i click on memory stick in myphone explorer… One’s name is autorun.inf and the other is u.cmd
yeah your computer is infected with Virus
and it copies to any USB device attached to the computer .. ! phone Memory and m2 card both behave as USB Device !
As soon as you delete them, they are again created by the virus in your computer and restored in phone and m2 card or any device attached to computer …!
you can format m2 card from phone file manager more options … ! you can delete autorun inf in phone .. !
master reset clears all phone memory ! leaves m2 card intact !
about setool 2 lite ! download from else where and follow tutorial correctly !!
AutoRun INF files is there in all in USB FLash drives .. coz i connect them to college computers where viruses are all over the network …!
no idea why phone is not connecting to PC suite
i hope its connecting to My Phone Explorer !! That’s enough ! not a phone problem !
thanx alot..! I’ve formatted my memory stick now should i format phone memory also…!? nd how do i do that…. Formatting whole memory would also remove all the FS contents also…!?
LOL ! you can’t format Phone Memory ! you can do Master Reset ! That will clear everything !
And Master Reset does not remove FS contents .. but all Sony ringtones and pictures will be gone .. everything in phone memory !
salony, do you have the necessary drivers, and is your battery charged?
@ Akshay
Thanx friend…. Finally got tid of the virus in my phone..!
.
.
@ Peti
Yes i’ve tried averything… Even the drivers are well there and battery also full… dunno what’s the problem…!??!
my firmware model is R4EA031. I have the file W810_R4EK001_MAIN_GENERIC_HN_RED49.mbn
Shall i proceed to flash my fone’s MAIN with this file? Is it correct or should i try some other version? Im trying to apply new walkman skins to my fone. I just copied new skin to the respective folder using FSX(XS++). No change in my fone’s media player. How to do this correctly and how to use the uploaded walkman skin???
please help me………
you can’t apply walkman skins to w810 coz its walkman 1 !
you can apply patch to change skin but
Hi there.
I’m still new in this. And i wanna know how to flash my k800i.
I’ve searched in all websites and ive found out that it is very hard to learn from them.
Any suggestion which website is the best?
And where can i get the flash driver for my k800i?
hii , this video tutorial is easiest ! nothing else can get easier i believe !
use this video , and download your phone main and fs from links given in download page
also you can search for firmware at 4shared and esnips
or buy for 2 euro from topsony ..!
new download zones for firmwares are under construction
I doubt that, new download zone will have 2 GB large store, that won’t be enough for too much firmwares. Besides a while ago I flashed a K800i, I downloaded the firmware from http://sek750.extra.hu/
I suggest that site for firmware. 😉
no we can can one generic main and one genric fs for all phone
and then tutorial to add languages just after fs flash but before customization
or we can make Language + Customization Pack
which is used just after FS flash.. so that language won’t be a problem.
Also it doesn’t have to be right after FS flashing, after customization is done, you can still go into Settings and do a Master reset, I think that is enogh then (after uploading new customization settings).
My w810i phone has gone dead, it doesn’t turn on.
I connected the phone on the xs++, then unplugged it and then it wouldn’t turn on.
Please Helpppppppp!!!!!!!
hey akshayy can u tell from where i can download k810i .fbn file as i want to coustmize my phone i got the main file
from topse russian
or from here
i have given links check out
@ Agontuk: connect to xs++ and reflash main.
@ Nikunj: you can use http://sek750.extra.hu/ or http://topse.ru/ (but there you have to register). The FS and custpack you download defines the languages you will be able to use. If you want to use English, then no prob, but if something else, then it is harder to find.
hey, i use K550i and just this mng my phone gt viruses…i dwnldd smethng last nite bt it was working properly after tht….just ths mng it stopped wrkng …. wen i try to start it, nothing cmes up except flashes of white lite……….wat do i do………pls help….also ,i formatted my pc….so i’ve been havng problms in installing the phone to my pc…..it doesnt detects phone wen i connect it wid pc…….i’d be very grateful if u cud help………………thx
LOL ! Fact is JAVA phones can never be infected with virus ! but you can believe what you want !
your phone gdfs is gone ! i hope important variables are intact !
you should reflash main and fs and custpack to fix your phone !
if checksummed variables of your gdfs are gone then your phone is dead forever .. Sony Ericsson Service Center cannot repair it ! because Sony Ericsson does not allow it ! you will get your phone replaced with new one if full reflash of phone fails !
but i most important of all just check your phone battery first ! before you conclude anything
i hope you have checked your battery !
thx for ur suggestion but seriously, i nevr had any such problm and i dont really understand any of the technical terms u use……..i dnt undrstnd wat u mean by “you should reflash main and fs and custpack to fix your phone ! “……..hw shd i do dat……..if u cud pls gimme sme simple summary or guidelines as to wat they mean and hw to do it………..and as to ur last query,yes i’ve chkd my battery……….i dnt knw hw much charged the phone is but its been charging for the last 8 to 10 hrs……….pls help……….thx in any case………..
hey, i tried following the steps which u’ve put down in order to flash……..i updated my phone…it worked out quite well…after tht i followed the guidelines mentioned by u until the step 6……after this i wasnt able to understand step 7which says “7. open “flash” folder and paste all .swf files you want”…………..hw wud i knw which .swf files to paste there and also frm whr can i get thm………i gt a bit confused too as the measures ,which u’ve taken in ur tutorial video, r quite diff frm the ones which u’ve mentioned ………hw diff r these frm the former………pls help……….. thxxxxxxxxxxxxxx
^^
.swf files should be copies to
/tpa/preset/system/desktop/flash/
later . thm files shud be copied to m2 card
ankur, that step is just customizing. For you it is enough to reflash main and FS. Besides a few months ago I met a phone with such problem, and it was its Memory stick that was damaged.
Guide: this should be the guide, watch the video. Strange, but k550 @ w610 crossflashing tutorial says more about flashing main and fs and custpack, read it also, I suggest.
Ankur i am confused
what are you trying to do ?
video here is to flash phone firmwares
not to add flash menus
Hi, Akshay
Pls, how do I flash w200i with XS++ or Any other tool. Please reply me guide or tutorial.
Thankss.
First install USB flash drivers: http://www.akshayy.com/sonyericsson/tutorials/installing-usb-flash-drivers/
Then you download XS++, http://sek750.extra.hu/letoltes/?path=./Firmware/W200/ , then http://sek750.extra.hu/letoltes/?path=./Custom%20Files/W200/ . Extract them. Start XS++, connect the phone (holding C button), tick Flash Main and Flash file system, select the right files. Then tick customize file system, and extract the Custom files to the directory of XS++, in a new dir, called ‘own_custpack’. In XS++ select own_custpack for Custpavk and click Flash. Ask if you don’t understand something. 😉
Which version of XS++? I’ve XS++ 3.1.
We also have 3.1, it is the latest available. 😀
I’ve tried to flash. It show me “Sending Flash Block Error.” Why?
Maybe wrong CID number? The phone’s EROM CID differs from the CID of the firmware you are flashing?
Again CID is OK. It shows me this.

I don’t understand. Please give detail,what u r trying to explain!
@ ronan: Did you install the Flash Drivers? Follow http://www.akshayy.com/sonyericsson/tutorials/installing-usb-flash-drivers/
@ Irfan: XS++ shows your EROM CID in the log, but you didn’t write it here.
it cant detect my phone help?
i followed the whole thing
ok i just flashed it but i keep geting configuration error help
Upload an ‘own_custpack’. See http://www.akshayy.com/sonyericsson/tutorials/configuration-error-solution/
Hey, Fellas!
Indeed happy to see place like this with people with knowledge sharing it with those in need for it!
Am having k810i R6BC002 EROM: R3A022 Europe_4 with the simlock engaged and FS branded. Have been through all the info avaiable on the resources in here, have gotten all the files i seem to be in need for and seem to have pretty clear understanding of the process (plus, have played around with XS++). YET, before i get to the job of flashing my device, have one last question:
As stated before, my FW is R6BC002, yet i cannot find a set of all three elements i need with that version of firmware. A full set for k810 i did manage to find is R1KG001 – both the MAIN and FS. So “Is it fully compatible and capable of being flashed with this version of Main/FS?”
Thanks in advance!
I answered to the other post. 😀
I currently own a w580i and it has the firmware R7AC001. Is there a way i can find this firmware and put it on my phone to put it back to be branded?
Try topse…
Hey akshay. Thanks alot for the guide. It works for me. Flashed as good as new 😉
hi i want to flash my w810i
can i use this to files for flashing
1. W810_R4ED001_FS_C_ASIA_RED49
2. W810_R4EA031_MAIN_GENERIC_HN_RED49
a two different FS and MAIN
it works…u can use
don’t forget CDA
Akshay. just to clarify. the posts that you posted on the 24 jan for herbert. Are they australian and new zealand firmwares
actually the difference in FS is only languages and operator settings for WAP and MMS
AUS and NZ use English. English is present in ALL FS
also operator settings can be downloaded from Sony Ericsson Website
to use any FS.. main is same for all
cool thanks. and thanks heaps for that quick reply
i tried flashing my w810 with xs++, it has the wsod. But during flashing the cable got disconnected and i can’t get the phone reconnected to the pc. Help me plzzz
Try reinserting battery, charging battery, using a different battery. Does the phone start?
yes reinsert and try
reflash man and fs and cda
Hello Akshay
Your tutorial is great.. the most informative I have found since learning my current firmware R1N035 is buggy and the reason MP3 files have never transferred properly.
My phone is UK W800i which I’ve had unlocked to be able to use in Australia. I have also changed it from BROWN to RED36.
My questions are: The phones region still reads ORANGE_GEN, would it be ok to use W800_R1BC002_MAIN_EU_1_CA_RED36
or W800_R1BC002_FS_EUROPE_2_RED36.rar
I’m not sure if using EU firmware will re-block Australian networks. Do I need to debrand first? or will I need to unlock again after?
Thanks
You can use any FS in any region of the world, especially if you are using the phone with english language, because it is available in all FS files. You will have to unlock it again, as soon as you flash W800_R1BC002_MAIN_EU_1_CA_RED36.
Hi and thanks for the speedy reply,
Where can I find this particular firmware other than TOPSONY? ..I haven’t been on that site enough to download it. :0( The russian site was much better but I got a bit lost..
Also would you recommend using XS++ or Gflash?
Thanks again!
use XS++ 3.1
see download section for another link
its there
Hi, My phone is w810i and I have all the main firmware files and file system also that is .mbn, .fbn files. I also have a tutorial how to flash, but i have 02 bookmarks and each time when i switch on or switch off the phone that o2 comes up, I dont want that to come. Any idea how to remove that?
flash fs and main and cda
that’s all
debrand it ! its o2 branded now.
My mobile CDA is CDA102494/155. Should I select CDA102494/155 only or any other CDA can be selected to flash my mobile?
I have the below file system and main firmware files, please check it and confirm if i can flash my phone with those files.
1. W810_R4ED001_FS_CENT_EUROPE_RED49
2. W810_R4EA031_MAIN_GENERIC_HN_RED49
and my phone firmware version is R4EA031 and CID is 49 with EROM color RED. I am stuck at CDA now. In your tutorial it was told to create owncustom pack, but in XS++ already CDA is available with default. Should I go ahead with default one or owncustom method?
use any thing
inbuilt or own custpack
FS and Main versions should not differ, when I put R6 main on my R8 (main & fs) phone, I lost all languages but English. So I suggest that you should use: http://sek750.extra.hu/letoltes/?path=./Firmware/W810/R4EA031/
Okay, thanks a lot for the information. I will go ahead and flash my phone.
Hey, in XS++ it is not showing my CDA. My Cda is CDA102494/155 R3A and in XS++ it is CDA102494/15 if i put this does it work? If I have to use custom pack please give me the link from where can i download that. Below are the details of my w810i. Before you told me to install the File system and mainfirmware with version R4EA031, now in XS++ it is showing that my firmware version is R4ED001. Shall I go ahead with the files w810_R4ED001_FS_CENT_EUROPE_RED49,
W810_R4EA031_MAIN_GENERIC_HN_RED49 or should I use both versions R4EA031?
Platform: DB2010
20:22:51| EROM CID: 49
20:22:51| EROM Color: Red
20:22:51| IMEI: 35657401xxxxxx
20:22:51| Phone ID: W810
20:22:51| Region: EUROPE_2
20:22:51| CDA: CDA102494/155 R3A
20:22:51| Firmware Version: R4ED001
You are going to use CENT_EUROPE and now it is EUROPE_2?
For CENT_EUROPE use http://sek750.extra.hu/letoltes/Custom%20Files/W810/W810_CDA102555_2_Generic_Central_Europe.zip
If you are using it in English, the region doesn’t matter.
Thank you so much and I appreciate your patience in replying my queries which might be silly to you.
And many of such questions can be answered just by searching on the site. 😉
Guys, I have succesfully flashed my w810i. Thanks a lot for your excellent support. But one thing, only English language is present in my mobile, anyways I use english only. I want to know y only english language was there and not other languages. Below are the firmware and file system I used.
W810_R4EA031_MAIN_GENERIC_HN_RED49
W810_R4EA031_FS_EUROPE_2_RED49
Also, please tell me how do I unlock the phone? I have read in the tutorial to unlock by creating VKP patch for DB2020 phone, but my friends phone is w810i and platform is DB2010 CID 49. Please tell me how do I unlock for DB2010 phone.
Hey, I got the information about that unlocking in u r
website leave it. Sorry for that.
wrong choice of CDA means only English language
There is DB2010 unlocking on the site, too. Use search.
Guys, to unlock the phone is it the only way to apply simox patch or can we flash the whole main, FS and CDA directly?
yes …… only flashing won’t help
Okay, in that case after applying VKP patch to mainfirmware to unlock. If I again flash the whole main, CDA and FS will it be still unlocked? I think this might be stupid question to you. All I want to know is, if i put the patch to mainfirmware that operator bookmarks and stuff will still be there even if it is unlocked. So I want to flash whole thing.Is it possible?
once u reflash ur main …..
all patches will be removed .
so after reflashing ……
u’ll have to start patching by unlocking
ur phone by quick access patch .
unlocking is only for db2020 phones.
Earlier my w810i was locked to o2 I gave the mobile outside to unlock it, they have unlocked it. Now recently I flashed my mobile since my FS was not flashed properly. My mobile is still unlocked after reflashing it. Do you think the people outside have used some special tools to unlock it without using the VKP patch? I want to unlock one more mobile also. Please help me if there is any way.
They probably used some keygenerator stuff, to remove the simlock, no patching.
Akshayy,do you know where can I get SE toolbox 3 (tool to unlock sony mobile) in Bangalore? Will it be found in SP road in bangalore?Any idea how much does that cost?
sir, i wanted to know that if i flash my phone w810i what about the warranty of the phone? will it be gone? second thing is that if something goes wrong then how can i bring my phone back to its original state like the day i purchased the phone? how do i know about the area code of my phone i live in india… which one should i download? please answer my quries? thanks….
The warranty is gone the moment you start flashing (with tools except SEUS).
You can’t bring it back to its original state.:S
As far as I know, you are using English phones in India, so any FS will do, because they all have English.
Hi, i wanted to know if there is a way i can backup my original firmware on my phone so that i can put it back if something goes wrong? I have the firmware R7AC001 for w580. Also, if i cant back it up then can you find one for me or tell me where to find this firmware? Thanks
I think you can back it up with “Read FLASH” in SeTool2, but why would you do it? I couldn’t find any download link for this FW.
pls i currently own a k770i and its locked on t mobile and i dont know ow to unlock it. pls will you help me with any necesarry things i will be needing althrough the process cos i dont know anything about unlocking? pls
For K770, you need this http://www.akshayy.com/sonyericsson/tutorials/unlock-db2020-se-phones/
hi,
the fsx doesn’t work in xs. The full window does not open so cant see the full window. do i need to register it or get an update or something?
thanks
peter.
No, it should work as it is.
Do you connect the phone before clicking FSX?
Hi Akshay,
Thanks for your unlocking phone tutorial. I successfully unlocked 580i phone.
Can you please guide me for :
– How to remove service providers menu?
– Which is the latest firmware for 580i and FS? And how to load FS?
Once again thanks for your help,
Regards,
Dev
I got a w610i. My main is R6b002 and my fs is R8b024. After a few weeks my cell gets restarted after a few quick actions. I don’t know whats happening. I have installed elves. Is that the reason. I am thinking of flashing it entirely. Can u suggest me a stable version. I don’t need elves. Is R8 stable.
Hi akshay i have flash my phone n debranded it now i have some problem with my joystick so i have to give it in for repair my phone is under warranty will the consider under a warranty or they will not do it for free as i have flash my phone
@ Dev: Service provider’s stuff can be deleted by flashing FS and customizing. That is called debranding.
Latest fws are found on topse.ru and other sites, look there.
Flash FS with XS++, connect, tick flash FS, browse the fbn file in, hit flash. Then you’ll need to upload a custpack. Find tutorials on the site.
@ Yogesh: definitely elves.
@ Nikunj: flashing voids warranty….
hi akshay…XS++ did’nt hv in its default fies cust pack for my K770i..so i flashed it with FS of Europe RA0024 with custpack of W880i (generic_india).. it worked but with few key fn mismatch n incorrect key fn..i found the custom pack for my K770i only later..is it ok if i now flash the FS again with ur “Customize Your Phone” tutorial ?..
it does not matter.. the CDA is same for all db2020 phones.
but it should match FS area if you want xyz languages.
if English it ok.. now just stay quiet.
I need this file but the one from sek750 is not working ,can any one help me please.I dont have enough logs on topsony to download it.
thanks

Akshay I cant get past this ponit in flashing my phone it just wont activate the filesystem and now I am getting a configuration error signal
Henry use XS++ 2.2 .. that will work.
im new in this stuff!i ve been having problems to put apps in my k550im and i saw your tutorial…i followed the steps but still there s something wrong(im not sure if i followed all of them right)!im kind of confused…
since i have a se k550im i have to use k550im firmware or the phone s that i want to flash mine into…
same question for the fs and custom pack…
reply me soon because i got a configuration error and i dont have a phone!!
thanks!!
Where should we put link to the Config error solution tutorial? What can we do if people won’t use search.
Follow the K550i@W610i crossflashing tutorial, w610i is far better than k550i(m).
Hi, does this tutorial work with w660 also??
Yes it works with w660 all CIDs
except w660 CID53.
Connect phone to XS++ it will show CID number on left side.
If phone is CID53 use JDflasher.
heye bro…igot K790i wid r1kg001 fw…wid Region as Asia_Levan……….n now iwant to flash it to R8BF004…but the FS igot is Cent_Europe…….so flashing the MAIN n FS to ma fone…wil the region change to Cent_Europe…….??!?!? and also will der b any problem with reception in Mumbai?!?!?
Plz reply soon as ima alredy flashing my fone….to see if it works or not!
Service problems won’t come up, I think. You can use any FS region with the custpack for the same region. All FS’s have English in them, so if it is ok, go ahead.
ok..dude iflashed it n now its working alright….but only thing is when i pick calls…a message is displayed saying “Ciphering not provided by operator.Insecure Transmission”….!!! why is it coming so??
Follow this:
http://forums.se-nse.net/lofiversion/index.php/t26637.html
Your problem is due to a bad custpack. Use the tutorial to modify your custpack or obtain a new one. Then reflash FS and use the new custpack.
oh well i’l try getin new cust pack on.!!!
n btw ineva keep SIM in the fone while flashing it…..cuz once idid n my PCB got corrupted(iwaz flashing k790 to k818 n bak to k790 r6bc fw)…..so ineva keep sim inside…..!!!
thnkx ya!
btw whch fone yo got?! n any idea abt elf packz….cuz der r none fo k790 r1kg but der r many for r8bf003……so daz y iflashd it to this!
I don’t get why you have to write in this nigga style…
SIM should be taken out, though I rarely do it. 😀
I have K550@W610, elves all right. You need to have the correct fw, because elf-makers don’t have time to port the patches to others.
aye bro,ima habituated to nigga style writin’…:p
ok i’ve got the correct fw..the only thing iwant to know is how do istart with elf’z for k790 R8BF003….im going through akshayy’s tutorial on this elf’s…..so if i get prob ihope i’d ask yo n get a reply….oh btw can yo gime ya msn or yahoo messenger id?!
That tutorial is ok and k790 r8bf003 has elfpack, so don’t worry. My msn id is on my userinfo page at seflashing.extra.hu

Configuration error is because you forgot to flash CDA/Custpack.
hi akshay.. my phone is k810. when i start on that phone, insert correct sim card appear. what should i do…
Hmm. Try sim card from a friend’s phone. Probably bad contact and not software prob. If that doesn’t work, try reflashing main and fs.
van. am sorry for late late reply
your phone is locked. unlock it.
Insert Corect SIM card means locked phone.

hey k800.
use XS++ 2.2 to upload CDA using own_custpack
see in this folder for XS++ 2.2
http://www.4shared.com/dir/4145537/52d28f4c/CellPhones.html
Akshay,
Thank you very much for the quick reply. I was successful in downloading the XS++ 2.2, but unfortunately for some reason, I can not access SE-NSE site, therefore, I can not access or download the customization files.
I hate to do this but I have no option… Can I request you to point me to other websites that has those customization files I need for my phone? Or maybe if it is not too much to ask, can you email it to me, pal?
Thank you in advanced!
Cheers!
you can find them in here again.
see clearly, its there i am sure
http://www.4shared.com/dir/4145537/52d28f4c/CellPhones.html
Hey pal, you are really fast in replying. thank you very much. i followed the link and the only ones there are for the K550i, K550im, W610i, and the XS++ directories.
I need the cust pack for K800i, APAC to be specific.
Thanks again!
Sorry, not APAC but C_ASIA.
Thank you and best regards!
well you can use any db2020 cust pack for any db2020 phone.
so use it…….!!!!
w610 k800 k550 are all db2020 only
Ok, thank you. I will try it. Currently, my phone does not want to boot up anymore because after XS ++ stopped on “Activating GDFS”, I cancelled the process.
I hope it works. I will let you know…
Hi Akshay. I tried your suggestion by using XS++ 2.2 to upload CDA using own_custpack. It was able to pass the “Activating GDFS” part, but it froze in the “Activating filesystem” part.
My phone still is dead and does not want to boot-up.
Do you have any recommendation, pal? Thanks again.
oh god that sucks.
I don’t know what to do now.
Give it a last try.
Do Full Reflash of Main And FS and then own_custpack.
Then if that does not work.
Using Far Manager try to copy those two xml files of own_cusptack/cda to tpa preset custom folder.
see this far manager tutorial.
http://www.akshayy.com/sonyericsson/tutorials/far-manager/
do you have a gdfs backup ?
How long do you let it be freezed?
Help it says my phone is not supported!
How can i make it stop saying this
Use a different phone! If it isn’t supported then it isn’t supported. By the way, what type is that phone?
Hi, I got a SE w610i phone and I have a SE s500i phone too.. but I like the style and the durabilty of the w610i but s500 fw waaay better.. is there any way to flash my w610i fw with s500 fw.. plz dont say no 🙁
you can’t. phone will die.
hi akshay! i have gt new k790i. i want to flash it to w880i. cn u pls give link for MAIN and FS. also wats custpack and where can i get it and is CDA compulsory? is there any chance of my cell gettin completely damaged?? i am from india.
You can’t flash K790 to W880. That kills the EROM and you won’t be able to turn it on.
You can’t crossflash it to any W model, in fact you can’t crossflash it to any other phone.
Hi, i recently just visited you seusers website and saw that you have the R7AC001 firmware which is for ATT/Cingular. Now do you think there would be a possibility of rebranding the phone?
It isn’t our site, but yes, if you have the right FS, you can rebrand. It’s better to have the right CDA, too.
Ok thanks, in order to rebrand my phone all i have to do is flash the main and FS using xs++ right? Also do i have to select the customize file system option? Just want to make sure if this really rebranding. When i connect my phone it says
Platform: DB2020
15:30:20| OTP CID: 51

15:30:20| Firmware Version: R7AC001
15:30:20| EROM: R3A022
Now i got the MAIN and FS from http://www.seusers.com/forum/local_links.php?catid=494
Can you please check if this matches with the firmware i currently have on my phone. Notice that i havent debranded it yet because i want to make sure that i can rebrand it. Please help me. Thank you so much
Yes it should be ok. As for CDA, you can download it with JDFlasher from your current config, or maybe seusers too, I don’t know for sure.
I think you want to rebrand to have warranty, the best trick is to kill gdfs when you want warranty, so they replace it with a new phone… (note I haven’t tested it yet..)
Ok thanks Peti. So do i need to check the box that says customize file system on XS++. As for GDFS how do i kill it? And what difference will killing a gdfs do? Will it rebrand the phone?
Write gdfs with xs++ or setool2 and use an mp3 file, that kills it, forever, the warranty service center guys replace the phone, as they can’t fix it.
You only need to customize fs when you debrand.
Wait im confused?? So how do i rebrand? i have the original firmware on my computer which is R7AC001 that i found on seusers website. Now my phone currently has the R7AC001 firmware on it and havent debranded it yet. I want to make sure if i can rebrand it after debranding it using that firmware? Will it look like when i first got it if i flash it with the R7AC001 firmware?
Yes, but you’ll also need the Cingular CDA. I don’t know if seusers.com has it, check.
This thing, killing GDFS is another solution, this way they won’t be able to know about debranding, as the phone dies with it. So they just replace it with another phone.
And after i get the CDA what do i do?
Where can i find the CDA 102774/102 R17A?
After you have CDA, you have everything to rebrand the phone, so you can go ahead and debrand.
In your phone. Flash the main firmware and apply quick-access patch, then you can use JDFlasher to download it from tpa/preset/custom folder.
But i dont have the CDA and have absolutely no clue where or how i can get it. Please help me find it. My specific CDA on my phone is 102774/102 R17A.
Now download a main fw, read the tutorial about patching, apply the quick-access patch. Read the tutorial about JDFlasher, go into the phone’s filesystem to tpa/preset/custom and download things from there.
OH, so i get my cda by downloading it from my phone?
Yes, but I tell once again, you can keep warranty if you kill the phone’s GDFS, that way you don’t even need to rebrand.
Yea but i havent debranded yet and just incase i dont’t like it debraned then i can put my original firmware on. Now is there a tutorial on how to download the CDA from the phones current configuration? And also how can i kill a gdfs with a mp3 file?
Hi, is it possible to rebrand?
rebrand if you have the FS required ..
else you could try updating phone with SEUS. which is not realy recommended.
Ok i currently have the following congiuration on my phone
Platform: DB2020
15:30:20| OTP CID: 51
15:30:20| EROM CID: 52
15:30:20| EROM Color: Red
15:30:20| IMEI: 35256002xxxxxx
15:30:20| Phone ID: W580
15:30:20| Region: CINGULAR
15:30:20| CDA: CDA102774/102 R17A
15:30:20| Firmware Version: R7AC001
15:30:20| EROM: R3A022
Now i found this firmware http://www.seusers.com/forum/local_links.php?catid=494 but dont know if it is correct. Can you please check? Also what other files do i need besides the Main and FS? And what are the steps to rebranding? I havent debranded yet but want to make sure that i can rebrand it so incase i dont like it debranded then i can rebrand it. Thank you soo much!!
Sorry for the double post….At first i though it did not go through. SORRY
New Russian site for all that you need for Sony Ericssons. http://se-life.ru/ It is great, and it has a lot of stuff. No need to thank me.
slicky.. yeah use generic main firmware.. any cid52 version.
and use any FS.. or the FS that has your language from the big list.
you can rebrand if you get firmware.. or maybe by updating phone with SEUS>
rebranding is a bad idea. don’t do it.
@Slicky: it should work that way, but you’ll need a custpack, too. You can get customize.xml from the phone with JDFlasher. Besides if you worry about warranty, just kill your GDFS and then you will have it replaced and they won’t know about debranding at all.
What if i kill the phones GDFS but they dont replace it? Is there a way of bringing back the phone? To rebrand i would simply flash the main. Then FS. And then the CDA? Also if you look at my previous comment i posted me details from xs++ and the cda end in R17A but the CDA i found ends in R25A. Is that a problem?
Just thought it will be helpful i have done all sorts of flashing in windows vista every thing worked absolutely fine drivers got installed perfectly and faster than xp so akshay remove the need of a xp from your tutorial list
Hey, just wondering where do u live. Over here it is 12:24 at night?
sashi thanks.
slicky… don’t worry…
its ok not a problem with the cda number.
just keep a note of that.. i mean keep a copy of XS++ log with you always.
what do u mean by keep a log with me always?
LUV
I live in INDIA. Now its 10 AM Morning. The Sun Is shining bight and its a nice day.
Slicky.
I mean keep a copy of the original CDA number.
CDA is just a number. To change R5A CDA to R17A you just need to edit the customize.xml in the CDA ZIP archive. That’s all. Its nothing but a number in the XML file of the custpack.
kewl, im from india to. what part do u live in
sorry but i am slicky, for somereason my computer kept showing me that name which i used to write on a different forum. So do i have to change the R5A to R17A?
I there thanks for you job It have been very useful i’ve flashed my phone several times with succes.
Again I’ve flashed my W800 but when I turn on the first time the phone scroll ad the shortcut key blinks three times then screen flash and then nothing. Thesecond times I turn on the phone the shortcut key blink three times and then nothing. The third times i turn on nothing.
Any suggestion.
Thanks.
Correction to the previus comment the phone is A W880.
Sorry I’ve missed a 8.
areey forget it .. just use it.. does not matter if its is RXYZABC.
csemen.
try to reflash the phone with different firmwares this time…
may be an updated one..
lets see what happens then..
if its the red light blinking problem.. as for many phones..
try to fix it

Hi Akshay, you have been very helpful. I wanted to know what i have to do in order to rebrand. I will list the steps i belive i should do but dont know if they are correct. Can you please correct them if not? Open XS++ and click on the flash circle. Then add the main, FS and the custpack by selecting own_custpack. Then click flash. Are these steps correct on rebranding. Thanks
Luv.. did you not see the video Tutorial .. so easy.
if you are from india.. you won’t need debranding..
rebranding ?? sorry these are steps to de branding.
to rebrand use the risky SEUS.
I am from india but dont live there as of now. I currently live in the USA. Please i really need to rebrand for AT&T. i have the same firmware as when i first recieved the phone which is R7AC001. I also have the CDA. So is it possible to rebrand. i dont want to use seus. Please can u just simply tell me how to rebrand. please

Opps sorry for the double post. I dont know why this happened. when i first hit submit it said that i already wrote this comment but i never did and so i clicked submit again. sorry
Luv….. i don’t know then.
we don’t have AT&T firmwares.
so use SEUS. nothing’s going to happen.
hopefully it get rebranding.
no other way also..
OK thanks, so what if i just flash my phone with some other firmware? For example R7AC001, then what would happen?
nothing. you will have that firmware in your phone.
if is china firmware .. then you have china firmware in phone.
if its generic firmware then you have the generic one in phone.
if its the at and t firmware … then you have the at and t firmware in your phone……
whatelse…..
Oh ok kewl, thanks. What does a generic firmware mean?
Generic means GENERAL.
Common. International. Etc.
GENRIC firmware means de-branding.
Original Sony Ericsson Firmware is GENERIC Firmware
nice thnx….ok so im getting ready to debrand. now i found alot of R8BA024 firmwares. I found W580_R8BA024_FS_C_ASIA_RED52.fbn and for the main i found W580_R8BA024_MAIN_GENERIC_LA_RED52.mbn and for the CDA i found W580_CDA102568_7_R8A_GENERIC_C_ASIA. Is this going to be fine for debranding? Also why does this firmware say asia? Is it ok since i live in the USA? Also will it be in english? Thanks buddy
In All Firmwares English is default.
Other Languages are optional always.
Akshay, After flashing my phone with XS++, the shortcut key in my phone is not working… Instead, when I open Media Player and press the shortcut key, it closes the Media Player… why is it so?? How do I get the shortkey’s function back again???
Hi akshayy don’t know if se users know about it but got one latest opera mini 3.10 and it supports uploading where you can upload stuff on email etc. It can be downloaded from http://www.wapshare.net if you have more newer opera mini then pls let me know
Hi i just flashed my phone with the firmware i listed above but for some reason the display on the screen is big and not clear. Why is this and what should i do?
oh yeah sorry.
don’t use the R8BA024 firmware.
its because of that.
flash the phone with R6BC002 or R8BBxxx firmware.
Can i use the R8BE001 firmware? Thanks for the quick reply yaar. your awesome
I’d give it a try if I were you. 😉

What phone is it? Was it a crossflash? Was it branded?
hi, i’m new to this and would appreciate some help on flashing/debranding my SE K750i phone. I want to remove all the Orange mobile crap and file prorotected rubbish that came with the phone and turn it into a generic K750i that i can use with any network. I understand how and that the drivers must be installed, a GDFS backup must be made and that XS++ must be installed on my pc. The bit I am confused about is the custom packs. I understand how to set them up as explained in the tutorial, but don’t know which ones i require. My CDA is 102338/12 R30A which is Orange UK, the CID is either 36 or 49 and its a DB2010 phone. Can anyone help me and explain what must match on the custpack downloads i need or require? Is it possible to make your own custpacks and how?
to Make it GENERIC ..
use any db2010 CDA because,To me it seems You are a English dude. So it does not matter.
But better if you Just take a CDA that has a name something similar to AREA of the FS.
Example.. C_ASIA firmware, use a CDA which says C_ASIA.
You can change the CDA number in a CDA pack by just editing the Customize.xml file of the CDA.
Nickson.
Flash with a different firmware, main and fs. And use a different CDA.
Such settings are made in the Usually in the CDA and FS.
Tell us which firmwares you are using.. then we can see what’s the problem really.
Your current setting doesn’t matter, only the CID. Connect to XS++ to see if it’s 36 or 49. Then get the appropriate firmwares, the fs you need, and a custpack from the same region. Flash them on.
right, my SE K750i phone is as follows: DB2010 phone, CDA 102338/12 R30A and CID 49 as determined from XS++. Can someone please explain what i need to do next to flash and unbrand the phone, what cust packs and firmware i require, where i get them from (link please and name of file if possible) I am a newbie so all help is very much aprreciated.
After flashing my phone with R8BE001 my volume key during standby shows me my phone status rather then adjusting the ring volume. Why is this and how can i make it so that i can adjust ring volume when i press the side key?

What files (.fs & .mbn & custpack) do i need to debrand my phone? where do i get them from? or how do i create them? please help. I don’t know what to do next
Hi i just flashed my phone with R7AC001 and now the display is all messed up. Why is this? its like all big and not clear
I was wondering if i can flash the phone with R8BE001 but use the CDA of a att branded phone?
Now I think it is better to crossflash to W800. So go to Sek750.extra.hu, Downloading. There get the firmwares, newest W800 CID 49; and Custom files, any for W800. Use them to debrand and crossflash your phone.
Thanks peti, have flashed phone and all is well. You da man 🙂
I cant get my gdfs backup ,xs recognizes phone but shows error when i click back up ….. help???
Chanrge your battery to max, and then try again until it works. Xs++ doesn’t always do it, especially with K750 phones. 😀
If it isn’t working after 10 tries, use SeTool2 lite to make the backup.
Why is it that some firmwares make your phones display all messed up and big and blurry? How can i fix this?
They are buggy. You can only fix it by flashing a different FW.
But i need that firmware that im using because that is the only way to rebrand. It is R7AC001 from seusers website. Is there anyway to fix it? And why does it change the display i dont understand. do you?
Akshay told me that the best way is killing the phone. I’d backup my current GDFS, and write an MP3 file as GDFS. It will surely kill the phone beyond repair, so if you take it back to a service center, they’ll just replace it with a new one.
I haven’t tested it yet. 😀
What if they dont replace the phone? Can i bring back the phone? And is there any way to fix the buggy firmwares?
If you have the fw’s source code and you can compile them and know C++, yes, you may be able to fix them, otherwise, not. Just by using different ones.
I think GDFS-killing doesn’t harm any other parts, so it could be restored, but better ask Akshay, in mail 😀
Would you know how to do that and use C++?
If i flash my phone with R8BE001 CID53 then can i reflash it with a CID 52 firmware?
Here is exactly what my phone looks like when i flash it with the R7AC001 firmware http://forums.se-nse.net/index.php?showtopic=29702&st=0
Do you think changing my layout.xml will fix this issue?
No, you can’t use CID 52 stuff on CID 53 phone.
No, layout.xml won’t help. The problem is in the main FW. It could be solved with patching, but I doubt that such a patch exists. As I said, use a different firmware.
Hey Akshay, do you know why the R7AC001 firmware makes my screen have double image such as this http://forums.se-nse.net/index.php?showtopic=2970
2&st=0
I really need to flash my phone with this firmware so that i can go back to att. Do you have any idea on how i can fix this?
I can also give you the firmware if u can fix it for me that would be awesome. Its on http://www.seusers.com under firmware and w580i you will see R7AC001. thats the firmware that makes my display all weird
I don’t think those are fixable, try google maybe.
Alright thanks!! If while surfing the web and you see a R7AC001 firmware please please tell me where becuase i cant find it anywhere besides seusers. please
share2flash? topse? You know I don’t have W580 phone, so I won’t be surfing for that. 😀

Thanks.
there is no way.
its a big head ace to copy files off.
but if you have applied quick access patch
using BFS you can copy off the AMS folder from FS then good.
later restore it.
due to a bluetooth problem i have flashed the main firmware …..
so after applying quick acces patch ……..
will my java games & apps be deleted ???
also where is the location of ams foder ???
do reply & thanks.
hehe akshay i m a bit confused ……
please make me clear.
thanks.
i don’t know. i have to check i have forgotten.
yes after flashing main firmware games and apps stay
what’s the big deal
install games and apps again ..
thanks akshay for replying me ..
i know games and applications ….. can be
installed again …. but the save progress in each game is lost ………
by restoring the ams folder ….. can i get back my save progress …… or i have to play the whole game from beginning ???
I could never restore games so far. 😀
THNK you akshay 4 such a nyc information i am having a problem with my music player that it is not detecting artists and tracks i am usink k790i some 1 told me that flashing the main will solve the problem is it the right solution? or what i should do any one can provide me firmware(main+fs) my phone info is given below.
Platform: DB2020
OTP CID: 51
EROM CID: 52
EROM Color: Red
Phone ID: K790
Region: S_ASIA_LEVAN
CDA: CDA102568/110 R6A
Firmware Version: R1KG001
EROM: R3A022
Flashing Main won’t solve anything, as it is ~read only while you use the phone. FS can change and that can cause problems. Did that function work earlier? If so, reflashing FS and CDA should help.
my phone model is k530i and i wanted to flash to w660. My problem is, my phone can’t crete backup for GDFS. my phone CID is 53. Some one please help me??????
It isn’t possible to backup GDFS from CID 53 (yet, I hope).
I have one prob….XS++ is not able to detect my phone, when I press Connect in XS++ then I insert the usb cable to phone with the C button pressed but it does not detects it…I have flashed my phone from k550i to W610 earlier, may be 1 year ago but now I am not able to figure out the issue.
Reinserting battery? Do you have drivers installed? Can you connect simply in file transfer mode?
actually i got my phone flashed recently at a shop, and then after coming home till then it was working fine but then wen i inserted my m2 card things went worse restarts,hangs,white plash if i preess any button, now i dont wanna waste money on flashing bya shop so ill do it on my own.
one thing wat if i flash only the main firmware and not the fs cause its time consuming will it conflict cause usee if the regions are diffenrent and how to know the region, plss replyy fast thanx
If it only has problems with the M2 in, it probably means that the memory card is bad, not the phone. Try formatting it and try other cards, borrow from friends.
i formtted 100 times still this hangs and all, i removed the m2 card and kept the phone without battery for 24 hrs and then agian started now working perfectly f9, but wenever i insert theis memory card it starts ill try putting my freinds thanx for u support
Yes, try a different card, if that works, then your memory stick is bad.
and wat if even my freinds card does the same
Then the phone is bad. Probably hardware problem. Or GDFS, neither is fixable with flashing, but still then try to reflash main and fs.
Hi. I need help for my w890. I want to remove the ESL lock(ECK) How can I do that? Please help me. I can’t use my phone because I have changed mobile operator.
W890 is a DB3150 phone. There is no free tool to unlock it. (to remove SIM lock, it is called this way)
Peti: But I have payed at this site for the software but have not got access to it. So maybe I have to wait untill I get my account active. =) But what do I need to download to get it?
Payed at this site??
hi Peti and Akshayy, i got k800i that if i turned it on a white screen whould come up then vibrate once then shut down. i tried do flash it with firmwares but nothing helps, now it doesn’t even turn on, at one point the screen would turn on then off repeatly. but now nothing happens, when i charge it a red light turns on, and when i flash the phone disconnects..i need help. thanks in advance!
Hmm. Do you happen to know your CID? If it is 52, you can try fixing EROM with SeTool 2 Lite, [Unlock/Repair].

dear akshay sir……… i am a 2nd year engineering student. I have to flash my w850i phone……………my current place of stay is india……….so of which region will i have to download a main and fs of – asia??
it would be really helpful if you could mail me the links or evn just post in here….thanx a lot!
should the R1KG001 MAIN GENERIC_ CY_RED_52 suufice for india and whether R1KG001 EUOPE CENT RED 52 could be used for flashing the file system??
moreover is RIKG001 the latest sony ericssion firmware?? if not which is the latest??
tnx in advnce
Hi,
I am using k800i. My phone’s main speaker volume is too low but it works properly with headphones. What could be the problme? please help me. If i need to flash, then my phone’s firmware is R1KG001 in this case can i do firmware upgread with R8BA024 ?
please help me out.
thanks
Hi,
I am using K800i. For the past few days the mobile’s speaker volume is very low when i hear songs or the ring tones. But works perfectly with my head phones. Please tell me what could be the problem and what should i do.
Thank you.
@ankit: In India you use English, right? So then any FS will do; use Generic main.
@santoshk: That then is probably a hardware problem, but you can try changing acoustic drivers. Look at the “Customize your phone” and “JDFlasher (flashing)” tutorials.
Thanks for your reply. I will try your advise.
hi i flashed my w810i succesfully, but it says configuration error now..what should I do?
yes i fixed it, i just flashed to an older firmware.
That’s the spirit. 😀
where do u guys live? (i mean you Peti and Akshayy) I live in sweden
How nice! xD
Why not see the About page first? 😛
I’m from Hungary [EU], and he is from India.
Hi akshay, perhaps you could help me, thanks to you and se-nse I’ve customized my K810i, but when I tried to do so with my wife’s W580i I met with a problem, everything seems to be fine, but the screen is much bigger and it doesn’t fit in the screen, what could it be, the diplay driver I’ve change it but get worst, doesn’t even show anything, so I’ve flash it to get the same.
It is posible that the screen broke during the flash or is just the display driver, which is really hard to find, the ones I’ve found does’n work.
BTW the phone was
R8BC001 or something like that, the latest
before I flashed it to R8BA024.
Would that the reason??
Thanks in advance if you could give me a clue.
Use different FW, I think R8BF or R8BE. Don’t remember.
Yep, I used R8BE001 and it work perfect, why I’d like to know, I never thoght that downgrading the Firmware will make this, but now the phone is working fine.
BTW display driver are hard to find
Make your own, open in notepad. 😛
i have k810 r8ba024 cid52. if i have downloaded a cid53 main and fs can i still apply patches after flashing
also wat are the benefits of flashing to cid53 r8bf003
Don’t. It is possible to flash it on, with a very hard technique I’ve read at se-nse. But there is no need to. Use CID52 firmwares. No benefit of CID53.
even if u downloaded from topsony cid53 firmware
if u install a unlock patch to unlock networks and u need to reflash later incase of problems on fone do u need to install unlock patch again after flashin
1. CID 53 is bad, not patchable.
2. if you reflash main, you have to patch again.
kool understood cid53 is bad
hey i need to get the firmware file(main, fs and custpac [Europe 1]) for the w880 with firmware with most available patches 😀 if any one can give me a link or a clue where i can fin them thanks a lot
regards
colin

thanks a lot i ow you one ! 😉 and good drivers for camera, display and sound?
Phone specific, I only know some for k550/w610.
mmm thanks i was talking about the w880, xD but actually i got a K550@W610 and i love it xD recomended for all ppl who haves a K550i to flah it to w610!!! otherwise thanks a lot peti if you know somethings about the w880 i’ll be really happy to know it like good patches, drivers etc thanks and warm regards
I know that the best fw is r8ba024 for it. Elves only run on that. Probably most patches are made for it too. 😉
thanks again peti 😉
I just got a brand new w880 but my problem is it’s cid53 is there any way to revert it cid52?? please i really need it 😀
No, no way.
i’m gonna cry what can I do to debrand it and patch it??
but actually i don’t get why we can’t flash or patch the cid53 phones??
Debranding is possible. Patching is not. CID 53 is a new security system. It must be hacked.
debranding with seetool? so sad 🙁 then it’s impossible to to flash i guess i’ll prefere my old k550i@w610i
but is just to wait some one can hack the cid53 security system isn’t it?
Debrand with JDFlasher. You can flash mbn and fbn. And access filesystem, upload only.
Mmm some good news xD love it well just one question if I flash the mbn and the fbn does the cid update will change?
can I add you on my msn , it will be easier otherwise i really want to learn more about se system and flashing
warm regards
colin
Won’t.
I don’t really like that way of using msn. Like when I get home from a party dead tired and all I wanna do is some chat and then go to sleep… and someone pops up with a lot of questions…. Use SE-lifestyle.com forums instead. 😉
ok ok I understans xD I do the same xD just wondering xD

Install USB Flash drivers properly
see that tutorials please first
hey. i am a total noob in this flashing thing. Currently, all I did was back up my gdfs for my w810i. I do not want to do any flashing yet because I need to understand more about it. What exactly can I do with flashing? My main goal is to unlock the sim lock so that I am able to switch sim cards worldwide. I need to change phone plans in my area anyways=P Other goals are to customize phone. I’m sure I can do that, but I’m not sure how yet. Back to my main goal, if I flash my phone, will I be able to unlock the sim lock? If I am able to, what files will I need to download for this and what are the steps please? Note that I already have the USB flash driver installed, the Sony Ericsson Update Software and xs++. Many thanks to those who can help me out =)
hello dude..after i flashing my firmware..i switch on the phone and its appear ” Insert Correct Sim Card”, at first after i flashed, my phone was dead.
do you know what happen to my K800i, i used APAC bcoz i’m from malaysia…
Hey guys,
I’m new to all this and have been reading the various tutorials and posts – great site!!
I’m trying to flash my W800 to R1BC002 because of a problem with the camera.
I’ve followed the tutorials using XS++ and all seemed to work OK.
However, when all is finished and I try to turn the phone on, I get a screen with a progress bar which doesn’t move – and there it stays!
Have I missed something or done something wrong?
Your help would be greatly appreciated. Thanks
poliwag51
yeah sure, you can do all that stay away from SEUS.
Ben… unlock that phone. Please see unlocking tutorials.
wildone.
try for a complete reflash. of fs and main and cda again..
Thanks for responding Akshay!
What’s SEUS? a program?
Thanks for your prompt reply Akshay.
I’ve done a complete flash several times now with the same result.
When I tried with Far Manager, and go to FS, there is nothing there. As though the FS did not load.
Hi Akshay,
i have a sony ericsson K790i phone. its software got currupted i took it to a repair service they returned it days later saying its gdfs was repaired but they could not fix t as it has no signal problem. i checked it today and the phone describes itself as a k800i when i know its a 790i. maybe they installed the wrong gdfs or firmware for a k800i instead of k 790i, can this be the reason for no signal problem? ho can i fix this? my phones IMEI is35220701 i bought it in pakistan. plzzzzz Help!!
SEUS is sony update service, google seus. 😉
….
wildone !!
….
did you try some other firmware >???
i mean other newer version of firmware.
also try writing back gdfs backup before this problem. am not sure if you had a back up before this problem…!!
Yes Akshay, I believe that the firmware I’m using is the latest version and have tried various different MAIN and FS files as well as different custpacks.
I’ve also restored GDFS.
Thanks for your help, I’m now sorted, my phone is working again.
good…!!!
My w200 wont come on.It just shows the sony logo.I tried to udate through sony update service.Its still the same.can u please guide me.I had once flashed my p1i and updated the firmware using sues.And it worked.Is it the same procedure for this phone also? Please Please Help.
naa i don’t know why..
you could try for a complete reflash of the phone on your own at your home to fix it
else there is service center.
bro i got a w850i (debranded) and i cant access certain things on planet 3 and i cant download and install msn so if i was to use the Xs++ software to debrand the phone again will i be able to use msn on my phone.
Got a problem with my K800i. It’s got the Operation Failed when I open Application folder, while it is what I need most to read ebooks. I can’t find the firmware R8BF003 CID 52 APAC (for I am in Indonesia). Have any link?
I cannot use SEUS either, everytime I follow the SEUS instruction, my phone is not detected. I don’t know why. Have you got any idea why it is not detected? My PC detects the phone as it finds the new flash usb drive… but the SEUS does not find it… what should I do?
Thank you in advance. You’re the best!
hey make some space in M2 card.
my mate has had his K770i unlocked, and clicked on the executor file in games. his phone has gone dead. i have read he needs to re-flash the phone. how is this done, and if there is any software involved, where can he aquire it? thanks.
Yes. Please check out Flashing Debranding !! This tutorail only
follow it.
then unlock it with unlock tutorials.
hi Akshay! got a couple of questions for you.
how can i mod my k750 to have limitless sms storage?
i’m a complete idiot to computers, i just read on other forums that you can do this w/ SEtool and XS++. so a good friend gave me copies of those, but i am hesitant to do the steps i found because i might mess up my phone. can you give a walkthrough or screenshots to do this? thanks!
I would like to thank everyone involved in this project. you really help me out i de-branded my k800i on 3 network and patched simlock. This stuff really works. Thanks again
I have fingered with the c drive on my P1i. I renamed the directory 102030FD which contains the startup and shutdown animations. I Copied systenstartuplayer.exe to C:\sys\bin and c:\sys\hash. Now P1 is totally dead. Only kepad light comes on. Is it possible to access the C Drive from PC and rename the DIR on C. I tried XS++ FSX but it exits. Pls help. Domsmatrix
limitless sms trick is crap, slows the phone down.
Domsmatrix.. please try to reflash the phone now.
Hi,
Thanx for the tutorial buddy.
I have a question.
Can I change the acoustics of my K550i to SE W-series handsets without changing the main and FS stuff. If yes, then please guide me how to change the acoustics yaar.
Thanx for your time.
GOD Bless.
I have downloaded the firmware files for my k530i but when i put them into patch generator it says i need .bin or .mbn files and that .rar is no good.
Any ideas??

Hi Akshayy,
I have successfully flashed my k550i to W610i . thanks to your tutorial!!
However I have just one small query..In the service info section i.e after >*<<*<*, I remember that earlier the Memory Stick section had some information..but after flashing it says
Memory Stick: no file found..Why is this so??
I can use the memory stick without any issues though..but would like to know the reason why it says so..
Thanks in advance.
the XS++ video guide download URL is not working.I ve searched everywhere to find another URL but…nothing!
any help?
thanks!!!:)
Hey howru aksay i want 2 tell u tht .how can i increase my sms storage limit i have sony ericsson w200i
can u plz help me…
regards.
ricks
thanks for the great guide, i debranded my phone this afternoon and added some flash menus while i was at it.
one thing i noticed was that my video playback is a little messed up, for example when i fast forward with the video player, it either takes quite a few seconds to play from that point, or plays a random video. The video playback also seems to be more choppy than before…
is there anything i can do about this? is it a known probem? doesnt really matter, i can just encode my videos to a lower quality
btw, my phone is the (now unbranded) s500i
@
no they should go smooth!does that same video used to work well earlier???
and ya…y dont you crossflash it to w580???
yeah the same video worked before i unbranded the phone quite well.
hmm flash to w580? whats the advantages…walkman 2.0? thats about it isnt it
and wouldnt i loose the alarm part of my phone, some flash menus ive seen from the w580 dont have an alarm menu icon, just a track ID =S
hi, following is my phone’s config-
..
Platform: DB2010
OTP CID: 49
EROM CID: 49
EROM Color: Red
IMEI: 35955201xxxxxx
Phone ID: W810
Region: S_ASIA_LEVAN
CDA: CDA102494/139 R1A
Firmware Version: R4ED001
EROM: n/a
Ready for operation!
now i hv downloaded W810_R4ED001_FS_S_ASIA_LEVAN_RED49.fbn
is that ok?
but i cant find out the main_generic_mbm file.
now in this case what to do the next if i dont find out the mbn main file?
my next query is about the customization (the 3rd step in flashing)… what should i do here like should i selece w810 and CDA102494/139 R1A
or should i do something else?
@duffman
comeon!!thats walkman 2.0…not something simple…or ordinary!and ya…in that way…your videos will too run smooth!
and its same as flashing!
and for alarm menu…download other flash themes…!easy!
hey
1.
Akshay i need to debrand my C702 its software version is 1204-9289 R3DA029 080913.
PLEASE HELP ME FOR DOING THAT WHEN I TRY IN THE XS++ AND TRY TO FSX IT SHOWS NOT SUPPORTED PLEASE HELP ME AS SOON AS POSSIBLE
@richycuz c902 is a2 phone!
look at the a2 uploader…it will help u!
or else if u r using linux…download phone xs4.1!
windows version will be out soon!
hey akshay, ive debranded my w580i phone before using your tutorial and it worked great. when i tried it again on a different w580i (both are CID 52) everything works except the screen is fuzzy, and wraps around incorrectly. it looks as if it is trying to fit a bigger screen. things overlap. is there anything you could help me with? using xs++, i did the own custpack. w580 is no listed on there..
I followed all your tutorials and when I switched my phone back on I just get ‘configuration error. Please contact your network operator or service centre.’ What have I done wrong?
Don’t worry about my comment before, I found your tutorial that resolved the problem. But still when I add flash menus the icons don’t change, but I think I have definitely flashed my phone as the PLAYNOW symbbol on my phone has change to a sonyericsson logo! How do I get the flash menus on?
Hi akhsay,
I’m lil bit confused bout version of main firmware, which one is the latest series ? I’m flashing K550i to W610i, can you tell me review about the latest and best series, and how to upgrade from CID 52 to CID 53, or is it just CID 52 for my K550i
please email me
thanks
just use R6BC002
so last night i finally figured out how to add flash themes to my w580i. and then i guess one of the themes had a bug in it or something and the theme wouldent let me go into the menu. so i tried going into xs to delete the theme but it was still on my phone. so what i did is went to SE update service and got the latest update for my phone. then later i soon relized how stupid that was because xs dosent support cid 53 so now im stuck trying to figure out how i can down grade in software or something so i can flash themes agian. please can some one help me figure out what i can do.
Thanks
now there is no way to down grade. you can use jdflasher. see tutorials section. also links in the right side bar. there are jdflasher tutorial links. use it. it supports cid53
im trying jdflasher now
im stuck at the part were it says look on right side for firmware located in computer i cant find the computer or firmware!
have a look in the pictures here.
http://forum.semania.cz/index.php?topic=17113.0
you need to know how to navigate through jdflasher.
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…

p.s. [Also the problem for which i wanted to re-flash its firmware is that…my bluetooth and sound recorder suddenly stopped working…]

Hi Akshay,
HELP PLEASE!!!
I ran this tool XS++v3.2.exe to find out Platform and CID info from my SE K800i phone. It displayed all the info as expected – Platform : DB2020 and EROM CID : 49 etc.
After displaying the info, a pop-up dialog appeared which asked whether you want to upgrade your EROM CID from 49 to 52 with “Yes” and “No” button? I clicked “yes” and it said succesfully updated. Now the phone is not working at all!!! All I see is a white screen of death.
Interestingly XS++ and SELite tools can still read my phone information and now it says EROM CID:52.
Please advise what should I do to restore my phone?
ok now flash the phone. flash the main and file system and cda. phone will get back to life and will work.
thanks a lot!! debranded my phone myself, even a dummy can follow ur guide.. may god bless u

Dear Akshay,
I own sony ericsson w850i, its brand is VODAFONE.
i want to debrand it (bring the original SE w850i version)
I live in Pakistan, Asia.
Please help me! which files i hv to download (MAIN+FS+CustomPack)? Can u please send me links to the proper appropriate files?
please help me!
THANKS in advance!
1 more thing
can u please explain what is the difference between CID49, CID50, CID51 and CID52?
which one do u recommend for sony ericsson w850i (i want to debrand it)?
THANK YOU!!
@Irfan Haider
get fs of asia region with asia cust
main is never region based
for links better go for topse or google it or go for out support forum!
@Irfan Haider
thats all erom
use cid:52
thanks bhuvan 🙂
so all i need is a main file, a fs file and a cust file to debrand a w850i successfully?
how do i find out if a FS file is of ASIA REGION?
cust pack has to be related to the FS file or any Cust pack can be used?
which main file is appropriate for my Phone:
W850_R1KG001_MAIN_GENERIC_CY_RED52 ?
or
W850_R1JG001_MAIN_GENERIC_CY_RED52
or
W850_R1KC001_MAIN_GENERIC_CY_RED52
what is the difference between R1KG001, R1JG001 and R1KC001?
what is an erom file?
can anyone of u upload (to any site and give the link) the files required to debrand a sony ericsson w850i (Region: Pakistan, Asia)
?
Plz
Thanx in advance
as i am a newbie and i am unable to find the files, plz help me in finding the correct files (main+fs+custom pack).
@Irfan Haider
well get one which is latest one!
i dont know about ..ill get it to you next time
and not a big diffeence
few fixes and thats it!
we all use that one which support the max patches cuz they are firmware dependent and one which is stable
erom file??that is security for your phone
here your firmware are 52 that means cid:52 compatible!
and 52 is best!
yea
u need all that for debranding
nope
custpack is not related to fs
just region related
it cntains network tweaks
@Irfan Haider
for files go on our support forum
reqst there
crew will get u
if originally my phone has erom 49, should i use CID52 firmware?
when i connect my phone with XS++, it says: would you like to update erom cid to 52?
so should i click yes or no?
please help!
any custpack can be used with any firmware\file system or there should any relation between thm?
if my phone’s erom is 49, then can i use CID52 files?
is there anyway to update erom 49 to 52?
is it safe to update erom CID to 52 for w850i through XS++?
@Irfan Haider

@shrawan
what u wanna do???
flashing??
main and fs…i suggest u to do that with xs++ cuz u are new to all dis…and thats much easier
and patching wont need any kinda qa cuz urs is db2010
just straght forward apply patches
YA i wanna do main fs cos i wanna apply r4ea031 so that i can patch lot to make my phone best. so xs3.1 is best according to you. so i’ll do from xs3.1 but do i need .ssw file? imean “w810_p3k_dcu.49R.ssw” while i do flash main n fs?
btw ok if i flash using xs then all i have to add main n fs and custompack rit? and after that my phone be new version and which is the best program (setool or xs) to add patch of same version after flashing main n fs?
btw what is rest files ? why we need rest files? but as u said its best to flash using xs cos i’m new to all these so i’ll use xs but jus for info i wanna know the brief about rest file. what’s the use and how we gonna use etc?
p.s as i start reading this site i feel like so easy to understand cos i get guided by you ppl and i feel really lucky to get guided by you and i hope you gonn help me if i stuck in any problem. btw if we get “mail notification” in post reply it wud be better.
shrawan
use xs++ for flashing
setool for patching or jdflasher
well i love jdflasher cuz it has got all except gdfs backup..its fast also!
and i dont knwo what .ssw file u are talking about
we dont need any such file getting stuff done
wel thanks for your reply i really appriciate it. and do i need rest file if i only have to patch from setool? u didn’t talk about rest file i was asking about. please tell me about rest file details too. and about .ssw here is the link tutorial where it talk about .ssw file when flashing:
http://www.thinktechno.com/2007/06/01/tutorial-adding-new-flash-menus-on-se-walkman-phones/
wel thanks for your reply i really appriciate it. and do i need rest file if i only have to patch from setool? u didn’t talk about rest file i was asking about. please tell me about rest file details too.
bhuvan Bhai.. I found the firmwre I need from the link you given but couldn’t download any file from there. saying wait for 27 seconds.. 4 seconds.. But woh 27 seconds ya 4 Seconds kabhi khatam nahi hota :o.. Can use another w550i which is working fine, to get the firmware from it and to upload to the dead phone? If so , pls help me and tell me what shall I do?
@shrawan
look forget other sites
look what given here….after all these are top rated by google!
and yea…menu modding includes editing of menu
everything in menu…icons…shortcuts
and whats the need of rest file???
shrawan thats all u need in db2010 patching….no dealing with rest file
* Open setool
* Choose USB and the speed (at the bottom)
* Choose the model
* Click “CLEAR” box
* In the MISC Tab, browse and load the file [vkp file]
* Click WRITE SCRIPT
* HOLD the “C” key and insert the cable to the phone
* -now it’ll inform u to remove the cable-then detach battery-then attach the battery–
* after doing it click READY
* connect the cable to the phone by pressing C
* It will flash the content to ur phone
* It will ask u YES to remove and No to apply [ click on No 2 apply patch and yes 2 remove it]
* Once PHONE DETACHED is displayed, u may click QUIT
* remove the data cable
* remove and place the battery
* then switch on the phone
@AW7
u can use only your phones firmware
search on google
use other browser
that will definately work!
THANKS BHUVAN this site is really top rated in google and also it’s really clear details for all and we love getting help from you guys so hats off to you guys . i been so fan of this site i read everyday in this site and but most attractive on dis site is the look of the site it’s so simple and clean and easy to find everything and our eyes wont get so confused in searching anything. i been reading lot sites about tutorial and stuff but all site is so bizarre and so hard to search due to mess on sites but this site is so clean and so rest to eyes. once again thanks lot for ur effort. btw again talking about rest files, i read on some other tutorial that if i dont have rest files in setool then w/o restfile if i flash my phone using setool , i’ll kill my phone. …that’s what other site said. so do i really need rest file if i use setool to flash?? pleas tell me about this . but as u said earlier it’s best to flash with xs so i stil stick with xs cos i believe in you . and i become the most big fan of you guys!!!! and talking about menu modding, if i only want flash menu on my cell then i hope i don’t have to edit menu modding stuff like given in above tutorial rit?
@shrawan
lol…u are simply crazy!
nice to c a guy like u
well…i am having db2020 phone w580….in db2020s we need rest file…but in db2010 we dont….cuz we never applied qa patch in db2020 which makes phone dead….to revive back we need rest file….
now….flash menu thing….yup…u need to upload flash menu in
tpa/preset/system/desktop/flash >> flash menus
upload theme…n that will work..
menu editing includes changing the default icons….and menu.ml editing is bit complicated for u right now cuz u are still new to all this…
u can also try jdflasher for flashing…thats also fast and easy…
but not setool….thats complicated…
se tool for patching only…
but sometimes setool is not able to handle a big patch…then we have to use jdflasher!
thanks lot 4 ur suggestion and information. i’m really understanding lot here .and i get reply so fast so that i don’t have to wait long like in other site. infact i keep activing this page and refreshing time to time just to see i get replied by you or not…lol ya i’m kinda crazy in learning new things. so i’ll flash with xs3.1 and patch with setool that’s a final. and upload flash menu with xs and put theme with usb file manager. good!!! i’m done with this and i jus waiting for a perfect day to flash my phone cos i live in Nepal and you guys will get surprised that here in city(capital) 16hr loadshadding per day. my country really sucks!!! and government will decides soon that 20hr a day loadshadding from next week i guess….so poor to me . btw i just wanna ask you that how long time does it take flashing with xs? i think i have only 4hrs to flash due to loadshadding cos we get only 4hrs lite twice in a day as its 16hr loadshadding here.
@shrawan
damn!
thats real bad!!!
i am from jaipur..no such problem here!!!
well…yea…u can get it done…fs in approx 5 minz and main in 10 minz…dats max!
patch…in less than a min…
I have a k800i R8BF003 CID53.I flashed generic main and russia fs. I uploaded a russia custpack and got a configuration error. I tried several different cda but none of them worked. My phone was originaly vodafone CDA102511/18 R16A. What custpack should I get?
@Zorink
get custpack acc to your region
u can request one at our support forum!
this error comes pnly due to lack of cda files!!!
where are u copying???
make it sure where are they getting copied
HEY bhuvan, do i need to copy code and save as vkp format ? as i have downloaded pack of patch from 4shared and all of patch are in vkp format. so do i have to copy in notepat and stuff or shud i jus add in misc file in setool and jus write script? and do i need rest file when jus patching from setool? i have downloaded setool from ur 4shared link btw. and btw can u tell me about “move flash to other or memmorycard” patch? that this patch exactly does and what shud we do b4 applying this patch i mean like putting swf files to other folders etc…so pleas help me….
I was uploading to the wrong directory. Now my phone works after uploading properly.
@shrawan
well…simple files will work…as they are already in vkp format…u dont need to deal with them…simple apply them
when a code is there…then u have to copy it in notepad and save as .vkp..
ya…just add in misc file and patch//…no other files needed!

Please post me links for proper firmwares also if possible n also tell me what can i mod, dun wanna risk anymore…..

I want to flash it using a2uploader cansomeone tell me how to do it?
dhiren
ohk
well first of all post us your log

sim problem is due to unlocking!
hi akshayy,
i am new in flashing after 40 days research i have known atleast how to flash, what things are required for flashing etc. but b4 flashing i have few doubts could you pls answer my doubts:
my phone is K750i CID 49 (firmware version R1DB001 )
few of my doubts could be silly, i am sorry if u got teased.
this post would very helpfull to others if u answered these.
1) first when we backup GDFS b4 flashing, when it will be needed to write back the GDFS to phone.
2) ones i have tried to upload acoustic’s through xs++ 3.1 darvin, but when i pressed upload there something happens like deleting and very after that it says command error 0*0003 and does’nt upload anything.
3) my firmware version is R1DB001(latest one) i think this version is not allowing to write any thing to phone’s directory do u have any idea for this pls.
4) ok if started flashing and if any thing happens in between flashing period like error or something could my phone gets kill
5) if my phone gets kill or doesnt starup is there any way to get it back working
6) i want to flash with xs++ so which version is best for flashing, i have xs++ 3.1 darvin executed in vista is this good one?
7) one more thing i want to flash firmware version R1DB001 to R1CA021 in your view did any one flashed in this way.
THANKS IN ADVANCE 🙂
wasay

2 drag and drop
3 no…this is not the prob
4 no…nothing will happen..even if it gets corrupt then u can reflash…else nothing will happen
5 yea..keep gdfs with u…dont update to cid:53…get main and fs downloaded with appropiate cda
6 yea..best one for xs++
7 u can flash
thanks for your reply buddy one more thing i wanna ask is it necessary to download the customization folder means .tpa folder and flash it to the phone cant we directly select the customization in xs++ there it is given phone model and region to select.
hello bhuvan pls reply to my question dude
wasay
sorry i didn got ur quaestion
post again
ok nothing i just want to ask that in your tutorial u said about customization that we have to make own_custom folder but here my question is that is it important to make that folder there(in xs++ 3.1 ) it is given to select customization of your phone means ph model and region to select
hi this is imran frm jaipur
i m using k790i …n i want to flash it with w900….
can i do this ??
i m very new to flashing phn…. is it safe to use xs++….can u plz send me link for main n fs
wasay
cda files are to be kept in a folder….folder is not prelocated i guess…thats why we have to make it…or may be we are doung this so that firmware gets linked to cda files
Hi, Thanks for the Guide. I managed to debrand my K800i yesterday. Only 1 problem I backuped my GDFS as CID49 and then updated to CID52 and flashed it. Now If i was to encounter a problem would I be able to go back to my CID49 GDFS or not. Also I tried to use video call using front camera and everything appears in green this never used to happen before? what up with that?
Thanks

reflash
Hi Bhuvan!!
See I have long list of queries… if you could please took some time to reply me after reading this….
I am currently holding SE G502 and would like to flash it with a2 uploader to upgrade the firmware R1FA037… I have read you tutorial regarding this everything fine I downloaded the path for main and FS also… but this note on that tutorial confused my mind:-
*Also If you Flash your FS, then you will need to upload CDA files to phone file system. You should upload Customize.xml and preloaded_config.xml to /tpa/preset/custom/. If you forget to upload CDA/Customizaiton/CustPack files after flashing the FS, then you will get a configuration error are phone start. If you forget, don’t worry, just upload them this time before starting the phone.*
I have check few other tutorial SE-Nse blog where nothing like this mention… could you please clarify above note….
2) I was checking XS++ tutorial and where you mention its compulsory to take backup of GDFS where as in a2uploader tutorial there is nothing mention about GDFS…
3) I have download this two file for my G502..
G502_R1FA037_FS_HUTCH-WORLD_RED52
G502_R1FA037_MAIN_HUTCHISON_EM_RED52
Will it be enough to work with my handset which i bought in india….
and one more thing yes my AV also not letting me extract file…. and reflecting its infected… I am using AVG could you tell how to disable it and enable it once I flash my phone with new firmware….
Waiting for reply
Warm Regards

I am new to this flashing world…It would be really nice of you…!!!
Please help me buddy…!!!

Any tutorial in how to flash my W395?? When I play the walkman, it freezes and restart my phone.
Hi please help as I don’t know where to start. I have a w600i that doesn’t get past the Sony Ericsson screen. I have to remove battery to power off. Please give me a step by step solution for this along with links. Thank you very much
Hey Akshay,
First of all a big THANKS to You & Peter for selflessly helping us out here.
Recently, my T700 phone has been acting up big time and I had to get it flashed a couple of times. But even now I keep losing my contacts and other data. So I looked up on Google and ended up here.
I’ve gone through all the tutorials and the videos that you have put up. However, I am still confused about the following things:
1) I am from Goa, India. So, obviously I will be looking out for the ASIA region files. Where do I get them?
2) Where can I get custom packs for my T700?
3) I searched and I got the following information for my phone:
T700 = R3DA026, R3DA028, R3DA031, R3DA033, R3EA031, R3EA036, R3EA037, R3EE001, R3EF001
DB3150; CID49/51/52
So…? Where do I go from here?
Thanks in advance for your time.
Cheers!
Why was my post removed? 🙁
Oops! Sorry!
I just saw that my post was still awaiting moderation. It showed up after I posted the last one.
Hey .. ok im like totally new about these things … i was actually searching for a way to reset my mobile … my cellphone is W810i it’s from orangemobile … but it’s already unlocked for the simcards of my country… i was wondering if there’s a way to change my firmware to completely convert it to a normal Sony Ericsson W810i … since there’s still some options from orange here which i have no use… like the browser default is orange … and theres a orange downloader and stuff.
and i’m recently having a problem that’s kinda irritating me … sometimes when i try to call someone or try to play a song … it freezes and then the screen becomes white … if i wait a few mopment then it comes back to normal like i’ve just turned it on.
plz give me a solution … as i said, i’m a total noob in this matter … so a explained solution would help me … can’t afford to mess it up. thanks.

Hi…I have an SE T700. From last few months it was going dead with a white screen and red light blinking every few days. I reflashed it many times. Last week I gave it for repairs. They said it had a charging problem and fixed it. Next day it was working although pc couldn’t detect it. But, again in 2 days it went dead. Now, its not being unlocked by any software. Omnius can detect SEMBOOT device, but a problem occurs at installation. I am scared that the repairing guys have stolen some hardware from it. Can you help me find out the problem?
