Tutorial: Flash k550 to w610 !!
This guide will help u convert your k550i into a Cybershot-Walkman Phone !!
Flash k550 to w610 easily and also make it the coolest phone out there in the crowd ! Then u will have w610i, k550i+w610i best of both worlds and popularly know as Cybershot-Walkman, I don’t know if this voids your warranty ! Many say it does void the warranty. My idea in that case is flash back to k550. Flashing back to k550 restores your warranty in many countries.
A Word of Caution !
Its very unlikely and rare that your your phone might get damaged ! But be careful and follow instructions properly if you don’t want to screw up !
Don’t get scared that this tutorial is really long !
Just flash in W610i Main w610i FS and Customize it ! you will have a wonderful new phone w610i
just ignore those lots and lots of updates !! they are all hacking and modding, but if you have the time and interest then go ahead and read the entire tutorial.
Do report broken links if u find any.

2. Instructions To backup GDFS
Flashing The Main and FS !
Now the real flashing
Turn off your phone. Start XS++ . Select USB…Reinsert battery.
Click on connect in XS++ and then holding C connect your phone to
the USB cable ( with in 30 seconds )
it gets detected then release the C key
The left screen will display your phone details including your firmware version
EROM CID should be CID52. OTP CID should be 51 or 52 . ( Your Phone Must satisfy this condition for flashing )
Click ‘ .…’ and select the firmware file W610_R6BC002_MAIN_GENERIC_LA_RED52.mbn
Check FS option and select appropriate FS again according to your language FS language list
Download Correct FS for you Language and Region ! Shown in pictures are w660 firmwares but you must use w610i firmwares.
hit the flash button and relax !! it will show finished after loading
when done Exit XS++ and disconnect phone……!!
Don’t try to start your phone , we are not yet done ! Customization is Must
and Cent Europe FS has following languages.. EN CS HU PL and SK (EN is eglish and so on)
Our Friend has gifted use Some FS and Main !! check them out if u have one for yourself .. for your region.. an FS with your langauge.
Click here
Thanks to him !!
Customization
Download a Cust_Pack/CDA from hgetis collection which matches your FS !
connect phone ( usual process )
unzip the customization pack ( use the cust pack which goes with the FS of your choice or create one which is very easy )
you will find a folder named “tpa” in it
now in xs++ directory on PC, in the directory where u have xs++.exe create a new folder named “own_custpack”
copy the “tpa” folder into this “own_custpack” folder the path of custom files should be like own_custpack/tpa/preset/custom…
open xs++ and connect fone check only customize file system
now under phone model select ‘Own Custpack’
under CDA and Region, select ‘/own_custpack’
Now Hit Flash
now in few seconds custom files will be added to your phone and done
Start your phone !! Wait for some time !!
INFORMATION :
You Can Flash Only Main and leave it.. and be on the k550i FS !! This Good for people who are unable to find FS for their Region and Langauge !!
Or People who don’ t know how to add languages to FS ( which is tricky )
By Flashing Main You get everything .. Just that you must then separately flash skins and flash menu and nothing else…!
Because FS contains only Media Contents Acoustics Drivers etc .. Which is same for both phones .. But w610i FS has different ringtones and wallpapers..that’s all and no difference.
if u flashed only main then your phone says k550i in phone status.. but u flash w610i then its always identified as w610i and also shown as w610i in many places !
But XS++ 2.2 will always identify your phone as k550i .. its because every phone has unique IMEI number ! Even SEUS will identify your phone as k550i because they know very well what IMEI number is what phone..!
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/IMEI
Its RECOMMENDED to Flash both W610i Main and W610i FS !
IMPORTANT : don’t forget to get original hpm 70 or Creative EP 630 earphones or better
(its ridiculous to expect a very big leap in music quality without good earphones)
Basic tutorial ends here !! Hacking and modding begins now but do read safety tips mentioned somewhere down the line 😉
………………………………………….. ………………………………………….. ……………………………….
You can use XS++ or FAR, Read How to use FAR MANAGER AND SEFP !!
Flash Menus:Inside the own_custpack folder create a new folder named flash
here exactly tpa/preset/system/desktop/
so that u hv own_custpack/tpa/preset/system/desktop/flash/**** .swf files here****
inside this ‘flash’ folder copy the swf files only
then open XS++ and upload the files using own_custpack method. That is the same way as you uploaded customization files.
Then Copy the .thm files as usually u do in file transfer mode when phone is woking in normal conditions.
Download Flash Menu’s From Se-nse Download Area and checkout my download section at this site.
TO PREVIEW them just upload the .swf to phone’s M2 card check them out !!! Its a great way to preview before flashing them into phone’s FS !! better then previewing them on a computer !
Convert Non-Flash Theme to Flash Themes
Adding Support for flash theme !!
google 7zip and tugzip and download them
download instructions here 1.12 MB download
you can use winrar or tugzip to unzip it but you have to change the extension of file from .thm to .tar which you can’t do unless you have show extensions enabled in windows !
Youu can add it to tar achieve only using Tugzip the ones added with 7zip don’t work well !
Google search and download tugzip and 7zip.
Easier method : Use MyThemesCreator by lasyk.net to create flash menu !!
Flash menu will not work if you don’t have appropriate .thm files
you need a .swf and .thm after placing .swf in FS you must copy .thm to M2 Card and then apply the flash menu

Flash using own_custpack Method
xaero ma loud tested by me >> they are good and loud…!
People who don’t like loud acoustics try out w880 acoustics ! And i use w880i. I just hate loud music. I like the low music in the background.
Now the phone is a music monster. Also take good care of your god given wonderful ears !!
Tthe bass of hpm 70 is stunning. Especially with properly closed ears with appropriate ear buds !

Walkman 2 Skins
You have to place skin folders in
TPA\SYSTEM\MULTIMEDIA\MP\SKIN\**skin folder here**
and each skin folder contians details of that skins… but its already done in and compressed in rar.
just unrar it and upload it
skins here
http://forums.se-nse.net/index.php?s…ic=14361&st=40
Guess what ?? We can also have Flash walkman Skins
This will require a bit of modding on your behalf
edit the .xml in skin folder
<image id=”audio.background” filename=”PlayView_Background.png”/>
to
<image id=”audio.background” filename=”PlayView_Background.swf”/>
and replace playview_background.swf with ur fav .swf background..!
only problem is that the player is a little slower with swf background
UPDATE: only for phone with w610i Main and k550i FS
( In such a phone u won’t have radio option in Half of the Flash Menus )
but u will have the radio option in Menu when using Normal Theme…
While using flash menu in (k550i FS and w610i Main phone) u wont have the radio option in the phone…. ( ignore this if you flashed completely to Walkman !)
upload this MENU.ML using own_custpack method ( with break XS settings again ) to this directory ( give also is k550i menu.ml file…if u want to revert back then rename it as menu.ml and up it in its place back )
TPA\PRESET\SYSTEM\MENU\*** menu.ml file here ***
the file
http://rapidshare.com/files/53570341/MENU.ML.html
or esnips link
http://www.esnips.com/web/xxxagentxxxsOtherStuff/
other method is that u shld create a shortcut to ur phone’s radio while using normal themes and then apply a flash theme and u can get to the radio using that shortcut keyy
Information : U can flash only the MAIN and use the phone !! there is actually no need to flash FS at all. You will have the original stock old k550i FS….
and enjoy cybershot walkman with k550i FS and latest w610i MAIN but that k550i FS is old !! coz u did not flash the latest that’s all !
Get Rid Of Sony Ericsson Links
While flashing customization delete all .itm files and send only those Customize.xml and preloaded_config.xml
Find them in the customization pack in tpa/preset/custom/
This way u won’t have Sony Ericsson links all over the phone in games apps pics themes etc !! I hope you guys get it.
Very Cool one !!

The ring tones Greeting, Brooklyn D, Awakening always enter the playlist and irritate us
just delete Awakening, Brooklyn D them from the phone !
Greeting.mp3 this can’t be deleted normally ! Use Far Manager to delete it.
incase u really like those ringtone and want them
download them and copy to memory card.. this time in ringtone folder not in music folder !!

if u hv k550i flashed with w610i main and k550i FS then flash them to the locations mentioned above using custpack method !
SAFETY TIPS !!
Keep the battery at 90-100 % charge…!! This is necessary.
Always make gdfs backup. And Before writing GDFS always ask for expert advice…! or ur phone might die beyond repair !! its then just a brick !You can use XS++ any number of times… ok now that does not mean you use it 100 times a day in 365 days a year on the same phone.. !
Incase u forgot to reinsert battery ! your phone won’t start ! reinsert battery and start ! it should start this time !
And You can Flash Main FS and Custpack all in one Go ( direct from k550i to w610i in one go ) ! which would be better and is recommended !
but if u want to start your phone after every operation then u should not flash all three in one go.
How to Revert back to k550i !
There are 2 ways !
1) Use XS++ 2.2 and flash both k550i Main and k550i FS
2) Use SEUS to flash k550i Main and XS++ 2.2 to flash k550i FS
But i recommend u to flash back k550i Main using XS++
Change Main Menu Icons !!
Tutorial Starts !!!!!!!
Shortcut way to change menu icons with out flashing over again !!
In Phone goto file manager goto other folder and then create a folder called menu and then inside menu create a folder live
like this ( create these folders in phone memory not memory card )
main menu>file manager>other>menu>live>
And in that live folder copy menu ml and icon files ( icon1_slected etc etc )
You must download w610i_custom_menu from my Esnips folder and copy that menu ml along with icons in live folder
This is the folder to download menu ml and shortcut files http://www.esnips.com/web/akmenu
Use FAR MANAGER or XS++ to delete menu ml
1. Delete menu ml from tpa\preset\system\menu\
2. copy all 25 shortcuts to tpa\preset\system\menu\**here**
3. Done !!
4. Start phone and Enjoy !!
How to change icons easily later
Simply replace icon in phone memory with the icon that u want
u can download ready made icons lots of them
Now on camera will be known as Cybershot and Music Player will be known as Walkman.. because i have renamed both in Menu ml ..
remember these shortcut file u must upload to FS
tpa\preset\system\menu\**here**
Download all files from here including shortcuts from here
http://www.esnips.com/web/akmenu
file names and what they are..
1.k550 custom menu >> this menu ml is for using custom icons ! for k550i ppl
2. w610 custom menu >> for custom icons .. this is for k550@w610 flashed phone
3.w610i original cybershot menu >>
camera renamed as cybershot rest everything is same .. this is not for custom icons
4.k550i original walkman menu >>media player renamed as walkman .. this is not for custom icons
5. k550i original menu and
6.w610i original menu are 100% original stuff .. from a factory phone !! lol
i hope all understood
for those who wanted to know how this works
see a preview
http://img26.picoodle.com/img/img26/…0m_c262337.png
download urban icon packs.. its theme is also there
http://www.esnips.com/doc/29bd3458-a…342a50ee/Urban
i will soon share many other icon packs !!
We can create shortcuts to files present in FS
so we will place the shortcuts in FS and it will point to a file outside FS
and we make it point to files in free phone memory .. lol !
To new comers >> FS is File System !
To Write into Phone FS you must use XS++ or FAR MANAGER
where we were creating the menu ml files and trying it out
list of what icon is what
icon1_selected.png -> Play now! or Operator Webpage
icon2_selected.png -> Internet services
icon3_selected.png -> Entertainment
icon4_selected.png -> Camera
icon5_selected.png -> Messages
icon6_selected.png -> Media Player
icon7_selected.png -> File manager
icon8_selected.png -> Contacts
icon9_selected.png -> Radio or Track id
icon10_selected.png -> Calls
icon11_selected.png -> Organizer
icon12_selected.png -> Settings
the same applies for icon unselected files !!

can my phone get destroyed?
No your phone won’t get destroyed !
some people randomly press random buttons those who do it will get their phone destroyed !
Follow the tutorial , its safe ! All who followed my tutorials have had 100% success flashing ! Make sure you follow the tutorial !!
So if I hold C, plug the cable and then put my phone in a safe place on my desk then the risk of dead phone is 0.0% ?
So I update with SEUS, flash main, flash fs, upload new drivers with FAR manager.
Is there only one w610i main out there? I mean do I have to choose the right main or there’s only one? I took a look at SE site, compared w610i and k550i and I saw that k550i has 64MB internal memory but w610i does not. Isn’t this a problem?
Only one Main for all countries.
just flash it. don’t take too much tension
from my stats more then 5k people have flashed successfully . just close ur eyes and follow guide.
5k successful of “???”, how many have failed, according to your stats?XD
What do you think about translating the site of yours into other languages? I think it would be better for Hungarian people to read this tutorial (and others as well) in Hungarian. I could do it… But I don’t know if it is possible with WordPress.:S (Or it needs to be stored in a new blog or thread at least.)
But tell me what is the Success ratio – [successful guys / all tries]!:D
LOL , seriously .. 5k number was just to cheer you up !! From download and self report stats its 600. Am very confident about this. Collected from many sources. This tutorial is also available in brazilian. on orkut many many ppl have flashed.
To translate this site you can use google translator. or any other service
Only 1 Fellow Failed. Because he pressed wrong buttons. he got his phone fixed later. All others have been successful till date.
if some one fails then they post their failure all over se-nse and at other forums !!
and do u know.. in my country INDIA there are more then 400 languages. yes please check out wikipedia !
and i know 12 😉 languages. but sorry i know only two EU languages french and english
man please don’t freak out … !! this is very safe. nothing is going to happen. why be soo worried.
i flashed my k550 main and fs atleast 8 times . so many have done it.
and many many people use XS++ to flash and debrand everyday !!
you know at thinkdigit forum where this tutorial was originally based.. read out all posts. there you will find a 1 failure. read his mistakes there. no one else has reported failure other then him.
well ppl who don’t follow tutorials brick phones.
they think flashing software is just like any other softwares and press all buttons to see what happens
now see if you put a small boy in a NASA rocket, he will press all the button in it to see what happens. that way if u don things then phone will get bricked.
So if the power doesn’t cut, then only human mistake can cause it, and only if they do not follow the instructions. That’s good to hear. 😀
“Our Friend has gifted use Some FS and Main !! check them out if u have one for yourself .. for your region.. an FS with your langauge.
Click here” <- So I must use this Main and the CENT_EUROPE FS from that link?
yes. from that link. where else. even if power goes. nothing happen. just redo whole thing. you can fix it. but in case something goes wrong. your windows xp behaves abnormally then …. wht shld i do.
that’s it .. i removed all scary lines from tutorial
hey you may want to check out the s500 flashing to w580. its really easy. but you must use different files
When I do this I might want to record it in a video, do you want a video tutorial?
“Don’t try to start your phone , we are not yet done ! Customization is Must” Can I skip this one?
customization part is must……. or else you will get a Config Error when you start ur phone !!
i can record this….!
im sorry but i still got desame result “Configuration error” ………after following all instruction..what should i do?
but it already change from k550im to W610i…..
reflash main and fs and flash the cust pack properly man .. you get config error only if finalization or customization is not done properly
plzz do it properly again
dude tnx for the help!!now its working!!
Hey Ashkay!
Mistake in tutorial:
“Backup GDFS only After You Have Updated your phone to CID52 1
Instructions To backup GDFS”
When I click on the link, it navigates to http.com… Check the link and delete that http part in it.
thnx.. u still dint flash ?? common man .. i hv done it. many have done it .. see ghetto also did it .. you r turn
It’s in my plans now, sooner or later.
I’ve the updated firmware and a GDFS backup and I tried FAR Manager. I copied unnecessary stuff to my hard drive, and deleted them from the phone. But it didn’t copy, just created 0 bytes big files, so it practically means I’ve lost my original backgrounds and other SonyEricsson stuff.XD
Flashed finally.
W610i!(L)XD
But you didn’t tell I was going to lose all files in FS\usb…
hmm that was obvious .. i thought u knew it
because flashing FS is formatting the phone ..! sorry.. i mean you know
hey btw congrats .. u been a tough case 😉 to convince
XD
You know I’ve always heard bad things about flashing at home… But I LOVE IT. (L)XD Walkman 2.0, new accoustics, new cam driver… wonderful. 😀
And thanks, by the way. 😉
Can I upload this own_custpack with xs++ (3.1) after deleting itm files, to get rid of SE links? And can I put new drivers in the custpack?
hey hey i hv clearly written backup everything .. see it .. i forgot tht i had written..!! u dint follow it and lost everything 😉
wait .. you do customization only after flashing FS ok. so you must delete .itm in own_custpack right at the first time after u flash FS. yes you can change camera driver with own custpack idea. also with FAR MANAGER and also with FSX
see all video tutorials .. i hv put all in respective tutorials
You told I should backup, but not that it was going to format its memory. 😀 But only music that I have on my pc was gone…
FAR Manager is a cool one, I love it. But ITM files must be deleted in customization, I’ve deleted them in FAR and I still have SE links in my menus. So I have to flash FS again??? (to do such tricks)
yes flash FS again .. and this time during custpack flash make sure u remove the .itm files
awsome..i was dubious at first due to the “killing my phone” part…but thought what the hell (really wanted to get rid of the operator logo)…anyway now my phone is upgraded to w610,with the ma_loud accoustics (so much better).a better cam driver…and a great flash menu….thanks so much for this tut!!!
yeah no probs.. it just just a term of aggrement
Can we, users post tutorials on this site?
yes you can if allow you to…lets talk on MSN
add me [email protected]
add my on msn. I need help adding flash menus to my w580 [email protected]
akshay.
I want to try and do this, but It looks intimidating. How long does it usually take? Im trying to go through the first step, but then the XS++ couldnt detect my phone so I gave up. Please help if necessary.
hey did you try to update your phone ???
flash drivers are not installed . so your phone won’t be detected
i will write tutorial on how to install flash drivers i think so .. since many have problems with flash drivers
^^^
Oh, not yet. I am going to update it now. Umm. How to I backup the contacts? With that program you provided? So should I back up all my contacts and pictures [since they are most important to me]. Will it really delete all my contacts after this conversion. Thanks!
google search my phone explorer and use it
backup all stuff from M2 card in comp..
yes you can put tha language with correct FS
u can follow any tutorial
u can also check out the vidoe tutorial given here
in it a k550 is flashed to w610 [;)]
Dude, i flashed to w610 everything went just fine, had for like 3 months, but now i wanna go back to K550, and i want to use the America FS, mine has the APAC, do i have to use the apac or can i choose the one i want?
that depends on what language you want
if you wanted english then use it no problem
yeah it its a good guide .. but how about the video in this tutorial .. where k550 is flashed to w610
see the details in xs++ 😉
http://www.akshayy.com/sonyericsson/tutorials/flash-firmwaredebrand-with-xs/
Thanks Akshay. Heres a few questions.
1]Umm do I only make backup’s of gdfs once?
2]Does the Europe Central FS have English language right? So I dont have to get my region?
1) Yes, it is necessary for the first time only, but place it safely, never lose it. 😉
2) All FS’ have English language, so if you want to use it in English then it doesn’t matter what FS you use.
Akshay! Since I flashed my K550i to W610i I told my friends about it, and now they would really like me to flash their phones to, even with Nokias. 😀
Now my question is: is there a Walkman main & FS that I could flash to a K800?
i have a k550i and i flashed it to w610 and i have some problems so i wanna reflash it so how should i do that.
can u do a video to show it? pls… thanks, newbie here…video pls..
video download from here

I have a k550 an I would really like to flash my phone to the w610 but I would like to know if sometime in the future I should want to revert back to my original k550 look,if would it be possible
you obviously can flash back to k550 at any time

hey Akshay could u plz help me with this…
what does the display driver control…??
I hope u got what i mean ifs/settings/display/**display.dat** what does this file do and what all changes can be made if we alter this..????? thanx in advance
Excuse me for asking a seta stupid questions but I am new to the whole flashing thing.Lets say I want to revert,would I need to download stuff like acoustic drivers and cam drivers and stuff or just reflash the the fs and main with a k550 fs an main like you said and I’d be good?,and would I have the same internal 64mb of memory or would it be different when I flash to the w610?,if you can please add me([email protected]) to your msn messenger.
Well I successfully modded my phone and I must say it looks great,no problems encountered whatso ever.
congrats mark
hey mark just reflash FS to revert all changes
and reflash main for k550i phone

open dat file in notepad and check out for more parameters
thanx ya AKshay..!
Ok since i flash everything is great.Before i mod i had dis app name ‘google maps’ on d phone an i really like it,now after i mod an try to put it bak it keeps saying invalid application,i downloaded other apps an they work fine but that particular one isn’t,dis is not a big problem but does any one know why d phone keeps saying that.
no idea .. flashing does not affect it .. because this flash is a clean flash 🙂
try to install other apps .. if it does not work go for a reflash of FS and Custpack
Just like to report that i did some customizations an now d app works,thanks alot.
Hi Master,
Question 1- Instead of manually deleting all .itm files before flashing Custpack to get rid of SE annoying presence, couldn’t we just tick the case “Don’t upload SE WAP links” in XS++?
Question 2- Does the KE550i flashed to W610i support 8 GB memory sticks (or 4GB)? That would do a hell of a Walkman…
Humble regards from your devote admirer.
Lmbrt

if you are using a custpack from XS++ Library then you must tick that option
but you are using OWN_CUSTPACK instead of XS++ library custpacks !
like select phone as k610 or any db2020 phone and choose Europe 5 custpack . it will work .. no need for own custpack
Just a general question about the k550.I’d like to know if anyone knows of any bugs in general in the making of the phone because before I flashed I noticed that sometimes when using the phone the whole screen just turns white and comes off an the phone restarts and it happened once since I flashed,reason I asked is because I also noticed this happen on anther k550.
that happens to all SE phones .. when phone crashes
NEVERMIND >> no problems you can go ahead and use it !!
very nice tut! =) but i only flashed the main ^^ do you know any patch that fix the camera lens so it activate the camera!? do you guys ever had the problem when 4.6.0 and some other buttons stops work well i found out the problem ^^ thoose buttons are the camera shortcuts so when you hold the mobile and you might touch the camera button so when that happens just check so you dont touch the camera button then 4.6.0 and the other buttons will work fine =) /// jocke
Jocke ! No way to fix camera issue .. ! sorry !!
yeah we know tht problem .. !! its discussed hell of times by Newbs at places like facebook, myspace and orkut ! 😉

Hey akshay just wanted your view on this… i had initially made a backup of my k550i GDFS after updating via SEUS… the then backup file was 93 Kb and i now made another one after flashing it to w610… it was just 85 Kb in size..?! Where’s the rest of it gone…!?!
Hi Akshay, i want to flash my k550 to w610, plz tell me which main, FS and cust pack to install, i am from bangalore..
Wow, i was sceptical at first, then i finally did it, i’ve updated to W610i with everything, and it works great!! The Guide is Perfect, even i could understand it!
Many thanks from Sweden.

hi akshay i have a question for u =) well i’ve seen thoose t650 light effect on the buttons do u think they work? can i damage my phone if i try to put thoose into my k550 i got the original k550 extracted on my desk so i could get the original back easy but will it damage anything? anyone who have tested this?
Could someone say what is the external memory limit on the Cybershot-Walkman,I have a 1gb memory card and I’d like to buy a 2gb but I’d want to know if it will work first because I saw somewhere where they said that there’s a 1gb limit,but I see that the k750 which is a way older model can take 2gb.
if you are talking about hardawre mod then you might well damage .. its complicated to open phone without appropriate tools
mark i think its 2 gb for this phone ..
no i ment the lighteffect drivers =)
jocke t650 does not have any light effect driver.it is just flash file which coz those light effect on key pad.download this flash file and use it as wallpaper or as screen saver n u will possibly get those effects.[it will work on ur phone only if u have multi color lights under ur keypad. …..i mean when u switch on d camera ur keypad light must turn to other color.]

Hi akshayy,
I have a question. I would like to flash my k550 to w660 but my erom id is erom id 51. based on your tutorial, it has to be erom id 52. i have tried seus to update my erom id to erom id 52 but it can’t connect to its server or something. i have been trying it for days now and i can’t update my erom id 51 to erom id 52. please help. is there a tutroial for erom id 51 fs and main for k550 to w660? my msn id [email protected]. please help.
ok i sent CID51 firmwares to you through email
download and flash it using SEtool 2 lite
hi akshay,
i received your email but the second link is dead. also, can we chat thru windows live messenger? i need to get an in-depth tutorial for erom cid 51. would i be following the tutorial in the first link for w200 but with my firmware? where do i get w660 cid 51 fs and main? (since the link you gave me is dead) 😀
sorry then .. CID51 firmwares are tough to find .. you can get them only on TOPSONY for 2 Euro !
those are only links i had to CID51 firmwares. and w660 main and fs you can try on Topse Russia
http://www.topse.ru/
use their english registration site
Akshay please help me with this..! I was having a dark spot in the pics when i used the camera some days back.. i rushed to the service centre ppl and they said that camera module would be changed as it was a hardware problem but it was out of stock… now after 2 days it’s resolved on its own.. no dark spot now.. what should i do..!? would they replce it now coz now there’s no prob but is there a possiblilty of its reccurrence..!?????
it could be because of dust particles on the lens or inside camera .. or mostly hardware fault.
ask them to replace it, give your reasons that you get dark spots some times..you should have taken pictures.
that they don’t have stock is no reason to send your phone back. ask in other service centers !
its unlikely a software problem
in any case problem might occur once again if not related to dust particles.
hi akshay,
could you help me update my erom cid 51 to erom cid 52 then? since i also have a hard time updating my k550 erom cid 51 thru seus, could i do it using setool 2 lite? seus can’t connect thru the server everytime i am trying to get it to be updated to erom cid 52. please help. i already downloaded all the tools and updating to erom cid 52 thru seus has been hampering me from having a cybershot walkman phone. please help.
ok if you got all firmwares and tools .. !
then flash it using Setool 2 lite
follow the w200 tutorial that i gave
that’s how you flash the Main and FS and Custpack !
you can’t update EROM easily .. its tough .. and phone might die
http://www.thinkdigit.com/forum/showpost.php?p=677181&postcount=459
if i download the files above, would i follow your tutorial but instead have erom cid 51 fs, main and custom packs? all is well if i have erom cid 51 fs, main and custom packs and follow this tutorial, right? which means i will be starting my “project” to have a cybershot walkman, right? (which means i will be starting with flashing) 😀 if you think i should hold on for a minute before i do so, please let me know.
should i start flashing if i have the files from this link –> http://www.thinkdigit.com/forum/showpost.php?p=677181&postcount=459
yeah .. you can flash CID51 with Setool 2 lite
but u can’t flash CID51 with XS++ that’s all
yeah get those CID51 Firmware files and flash it
alrightie then…i shall give it a whip then..if i fail for no apparent reason, what should i do? thanks!
you won’t fail really .. it will be succes ! just flash firmware as shown
also don’t forget GDFS backup with Setool 2 lite
just click read gdfs.. and connect phone holding C
then flash firmwares as shown .. its done
here is what i have done:
– In Phone Type i put W610
– Click on Read GDFS
– Now ,after pressing Read GDFS, i accidentally cliked on read flash after putting the fs, main and custom pack because my mouse went the wrong direction – would this make my flashing corrupt?
-i clicked on flash when i set the fs, main and custom pack and up to now, it is still loading. would it take about 15 minutes to flash my k550? how long does it usually take?
thanks!
would there be any display of scripts being done while my phone is being flashed? all textboxes are grayed out and i don’t know if my flashing is progressing (except for the progress bar at the bottom of the setool 2 lite program)
sucks you pressed wrong button
something you should not ..
now i have no idea what to do
flashing takes only 7 minutes .. full reflash of fs and main
hey you should just press flash .. after you set main and fs and custpack as show in that w200 tutorial
anyway now its night here for me .. i am off to sleep catch u tom evening
ok. my phone is still opening and it is still the same k550 i have. (it really sucks when you use a laptop sometimes. mouse cursor area can be a drag since it is such a small area) 😛 so i guess i would have to re-do it from the start. thank you for the help, man.i really appreciate it. i would let you know of the result, tomorrow. it’s 3AM here in the philippines. i also got to go to bed now. i’ll just finish this so that i will wake up a very happy man with a cybershot walkman phone. hehehehe..:-D
hey! i am a very happy cybershot walkman phone owner now. thanks for all the help, akshay! more power!
Hey dude!!!! I was successful in flashing k550i to w610.. I also manage to flash w880 acoustics thru peter’s w880 files.. however, d on/off functions of d acoustics didn’t showed up in d walkman player.. and d big problem now is…. THE PHONE’s drive is not detected by the computer under file transfer usb option… Anyway.. can u please HELP ME!!!!!!!…
hiii ! you don’t get an on and off option .. you just change them for ever !
is it ?? are you sure ?? may be you should connect phone to ONE USB PORT always .. not keep changing it .. !
try something .. final option is reflash of Main and FS and Custpack
Cable might be loose also .. like my usb cable is loose ..
is dat so..?? coz.. actually Peter’s acoustics include a soft and monster megabasses, as well as a HiFi earphone system I think.. not sure… so these two megabasses (on their zip folder) included an on/off folders with there corresponding zapf files which were totally d same (I mean d monster and soft megabasses have d same filename and extensions)… Anyway i assume dat these files wud giv me on/off options for my k550i music player….
And.. about d usb problem…. MYPHONEEXPLORER can still read my K550i.. however sonyericsson file manager cannot, same wid the usb file transfer… (Sorry 4 d long explanation dude) I’m just… going crazy over here… maybe somethin wrong happened..
Anyway dude.. my phonr still works wid the walkman player and megabass… except 4 the usb functions w/c I mentioned… and.. b4 I forgot… I reflashed my custpack just now thru d owncustpack method w/o d own_custpack/ifs/settings/acoustic/**** zapf files here **** folders…. PLEASE HELP ME… LOL
in case of problem .. flash full fs main and custpack ..
no acoustics gives options … !
@ DENGUEE88
The On/Off thing u’re talking about is the DRC settings…. Please read the .txt file accompanying the Peter’s acoustics package… you’ll get it clear

Hey akshay just wanted your view on this… i had initially made a backup of my k550i GDFS after updating via SEUS… the then backup file was 93 Kb and i now made another one after flashing it to w610… it was just 85 Kb in size..?! Where’s the rest of it gone…!?!
owww… owkie guys.. how bout d connection problem??? my k550i can now be detected by d computer.. but its drive doesn’t appear in the my computer window….
anyway.. I’ll reflash full FS and MAIN and post what happens… keepin ma.fingers.crossed
when flashing peter’s acoustics.. shud I leave its folders as it appears in zip???? (I mean d peter’s acoustic/ peter’s acoustic [soft bass] folders..???)
………so it will appear as own_custpack/ifs/settings/acoustic/peter’s acoustic/ peters acoustic [soft bass]/***zapf files**
correct me f I’m being stupid here dude… lol
don’t worry .. GDFS backup size varies, its not a problem .. that time some junk values were also backed up…!
all zapf files go in acoustics folder .. not in any subfolder .. !
u get seprate acoustics for drc on and off .. i don’t think you can get an option in the phone to change ..
Hey Akshay.. my usb now works… all are fine… however I’m wonderin’ how shud I unzip d acoustics since each DRC folders have d same files and extensions.. shud it be placed as it is???
,,,uhhh,,, hello people!!!!!!
,,,Thanks for all the guides and instruction, i got everything i wanted,,,,
,,, i just would like to ask how to delete the music player skins that i flashed into my phone coz i really hate the other skins i uploaded,,
oh, hi!!! i got everything from this site,, thanks but then im having problem with this flsh menus and stuffs, i flashed .swf through XS++ and copied the .thm file as you said,, but then what about the files that has .png and .xml extensions?
.png ? and xml ?? i have no idea what you are talking
for flash menu to work they must be coupled to work with each other .. the thm and swf !
files with .png are images and xml are databases !
yah i know but i tried pairing both, the result was no flash menu, it didnt changed actually,,,
many thanks akshay! Very clear instructions and your tutorial is way better that others i have looked at!
Dear Akshay, after I unzip the customization pack I can’t find a folder named “tpa” in it, pls help, thanks.
wel if you could find some files that’s enough. like customization.xml or customiz.xml and preloaded_config.xml ! these 2 files are important
you create a folder structure like this
own_cusptack\tpa\preset\custom\** those files here**
you should basically have the two XML files put in custom folder nested inside the tpa\preset folders !
or use other custpack ! 😉
can i just get flash theme support for my k550i without flashing the whole phone??
sorry no way !! flash to w610
oooooo……..will it delete all the languages?
erm akshay i found this >>http://www.akshayy.com/sonyericsson/tutorials/xs-fsx-tutorial/ its says can add flash menu. Or i just need to flash my phone to k550i?
not if you flash only main !
flash FS then you need to Use FS that has your language or add languages after flashing FS !
it can add flash menus .. but won’t work if on k550 !
it works on all walkman phones
ok………..thanks!! need to think properly before flashing. Coz its so complicated……..maby i’ll try it on w800i. thx.
erm i though of just changing the menu icon and changing the Acoustics. do i need to turn off the phone …….press c button all those steps?
Yes, you have to. Use FAR Manager to upload such stuff.
Akshay, as I read, K550im also has Flash Lite, but only the im version, K550i doesn’t have.
hi akshayy!
i did upgrade my main to r8 and now also the fs but i still dont get my language i loosed them when i restarted the phone can u help me?
hey man !! use R6BC002 Main and the FS that has your language ! please check out !
for R8BA024 we don’t have All FS for langauges !
sorry ! you can buy it from topsony for 2 euro !
hardly anything that we can do here !
please see langauge list to find out which all FS have your language !
Akshay, how about the LCDA system?
i found my fs but it was a k550 but that dosn¨t matter my phon is now a working r8 🙂
i flashed my phone to w610……the main was ok. but the fs got error. y i still dont have flash theme? do i need to patch?
no you don’t have to patch
but what error you got ? really ?
just reflash main and fs and custpack and phone should be right
this is the errror i got ‘ Header type: Unknown/damaged” for fs
erm……..when selecting to flash fs file. i just click the not yet zip file ??
fs is fbn file .. not zip file
if its zip file then unzip it boy
ya i already unzip it…….there are files for me to select in the fs folder……but which 1?
FS is an fbn file, there is no choice there. Only in FS region, like CENT_EUROPE. But this tutorial clearly tells what to do.
i know wat u all are talkking about but mine dont have fbn. mine is zip
Then leave that fucking file if it doesn’t have fbn file in it.
If Cent_Europe is good for you (contains english of course) then go to http://sek750.extra.hu/letoltes/ and downlad a firmware there. If not then try topse.ru or topsony.
wow! damn man ur site topse.ru is in which language? please provide me with a gud site where i can upgrade my w850i with latest theme walkman or etc etc etc etc……!
lol @ peti’s advice! (Mar 19 at 18:35 Then leave that fucking file if it doesn’t have fbn file in it.) lol!:) 😀
Hi akshay….after flashing my k550i with w610i, if in future i want to revert back to k550i i need this main… R6BC002_MAIN_GENERIC_LI and FS for this…plz give me the links for this..
http://www.4shared.com/dir/4145537/52d28f4c/CellPhones.html..link for main is not working
that link is working ! you got it wrong !
also use any k550 FS and Main to revert back
they are available in there
and also at topse russia !
also i have given links in orkut k550 community
Well majid, that is a useful advice. The file he has/had has/had nothing to do with flashing…
I’m kinda new to this and I don’t really understand this tut. You’re phone must have CID 52. But SEUS updates it to CID 53, so how do you update your phone properly from CID 51 tot 52 ???
check your phone ! all new SE phones are CID52 anyway
Wrong. I bought my phone in november (2007) and it was CID 51 (and OTP CID is 51 anyway). It shouldn’t have been, as far as I know. So we should then let XS++ update CID51 hardware to CID52?
yes, XS++ can’t update CID of few Phones !
But when it asks, then it is absolutely not risky?
coz many people have reported that to fail right in that thinkdigit k550 thread !
its not risky ..! it ask for gdfs back first .. then erom flash
its done with a script … people can find some scripts on russian forums
I suppose I can trust you. XD
I’ve another question. My phone (k550i) is locked, so should I unlock him first and than change firmware. Or should I go straight to w610 and unlock him afterwards?
first flash 2 w610
then unlock
Because “unlocking” is applied on the main firmware which you then flash to W610 firmware so it is overwritten anyway.
Bandwidth problem on eSnips. I want to download the w610 original Cybershot menu. Any alternatives?
Thanks for reporting ! Will Be fixed !
damn the Esnips ! i can’t believe that bandwidth is going down soo soon !
Great site…Is there a way to modify the icons in main menu (not flash based) but ordinary png icons without flashing k550i to a w610i…a article on that would be very helpful (for eg i remember ways to convert k750i to mac osx look)
@vignesh
I think that would be a theme.
Nope, themes don’t modify icons. This is done by modifying menu.ml file (and uploading new icons). Akshay has written a tutorial about it: http://www.akshayy.com/sonyericsson/tutorials/se-menu-modding/
Though I have to say I haven’t found it too helpful, when I created my menu, I used google. 😀
what’s the difference between w610 firmware R6BC002 and R8BA024 ? are they both good for flashing a k550i ?
Yes sure, both are good. R8BA024 is newer. So it is better, but I have to say I haven’t noticed any difference. Use R6BC002 if you cannot find R8BA024 FS for your region/language. Otherwise, use R8BA024, because it is a later release.
akshay can you make a downloadable link where we can download all the files that we need in one folder?
it seems that this tutorial is complicated and hard to follow the steps.. i’m scared to crash my fone… waaaaaa
It’s sad, but not really. We can’t because it needs pretty much space and we would also have to upload those things. :S
By the way we… (me 😀 ) are currently working on a download page and forum that you will be able to use in early April. So don’t give up hope. 😀
It seems complicated, yes, I thought the same about 2 months ago, but now I too have a K550@W610… and I didn’t make any mistakes when I first flashed my phone. Anyway, if you follow this tutorial, step-by-step, you won’t crash it. 😉
can anyone who can help me to restroe my backup files like contacts? when i already convert my fone to w610i, it cannot find the COM4… pls help me!!
My Phone Explorer?
No big deal, it always happens, so don’t worry. It is because the phone’s identifiers change, and it isn’t the same device any longer. All you have to do, is enter Setup with F2 and on the Connection tab select Search phone (while the phone is connected to the cable of course).
(Titles may differ, as I’m using the Hungarian version.)
how can i use the w880 acoustics? what is it?
i have problem starts from flash menu up to the end of the instruction.. where do i find the .swf files?? help me pls..
You must upload W880 acoustics to the appropriate path in Phone’s FS using FAR Manager. It is a set of files that define how good the sound of the phone will be. By using it, the phone gets louder, and the quality of the sound gets better.
Read the FAR Manager tutorial, swf files are in tpa/preset/system/desktop/flash directory, you can download flash menus from http://seflashing.extra.hu/?mode=dlPimp&category=flashmenus&name=Flash%20menus%20176×220.zip
thank you for the info… i will apply it..
Hi, Your Tutorial is very good and now I have the Cybershot-Walkman phone working nicely. Thanx for that. But I have a very little question, Is there any way to make turn on the camera by opening the lens cover? (K550 style)
Thanx in advance.
Currently not. A bunch of programmers are working on it, trying to extract the appropriate part from K550 firmware and writing it into W610, but still no success.
It might be available someday, but not yet.
Do you have k550i R8BA002 FS APAC???
peti the flash menu that you give to me is corupted..
do you have alterative flash menu?
thanx akshay!! great guide!!
but my menu is not flashing and it seems that it looks like k550i, the only thing that changed is the walkman… please help me to change my menu..
Corrupted????!! What do you mean? It is a zip archive. In it you place the swf file to tpa/preset/system/desktop and the thm files to the usb directory or to the m2 card. It worked for me. What is your problem exactly?
cyc. No, we don’t have FS files. We also download them from topse.ru, and at http://topse.ru/files/cat319.html you can find that main, but no apac fs, you will have to add your lng and t9 file manually. The necessary tutorial is available on the site.
i got it, i’m done!! thanx peti!! your the best!! 🙂
is the flash menu/wallpaper will decrease my batery life?
can k550i can convert to other frimware or the only firmware that will work to k550i is the w610i?
Please don’t post 3 comments until I answer at least one of them! 😉
1. Nope, Akshay is the best here. 😛
2. It depends on how much you use the phone. When you are in the menu it uses much more resources than simple menus, especially if it has vibration. But when the display goes black, all things are unloaded, so they don’t eat battery. So it will shorten uptime a little, but just a little. 😉
3. Only K550 and W610 firmwares can be flashed to K550. 🙁
Hi,
Do you have any idea how to unlock sony j110i?
Cheers.
No idea, I couldn’t find its firmware or patches for it on the internet. Is it even possible to connect it with a DCU-60 cable? :S
k770.vkp
VKP script loaded OK. Lines: 6
Patch structure created OK. Determining blocks to read…
New block #0000 added: $45BC0000
Blocks selected OK. Reading blocks: 1
Block @ $45BC0000 read error. Have only: 00000000 bytes
Elapsed:14 secs.
why do i akways get this error while patching peti?
I’d say wrong offset in the patch, probably not for the same firmware version. Open it in Notepad, and look at the first line (comment). And check your phone’s software info. Both phone type and firmware version MUST be the same.
i hv tried everything even i hv changed my firmware but still i m getting same error.
I think I know it now!! It happened to me, too, I think. So it is SeTool2 Lite. You do not check the right checkboxes, check the tutorial for the appropriate setting. 😉
heh, It really does work… and its awesome… though i would like to be able to get some k550i backup firmware and fs files, cos the firmware file i tried to download kept getting corrupted. i wouldnt mind some k550im files either 😛 hehe
Hi akshay,
Is it not enough if we flash only the w610 main keeping the k550 fs? (Coz I used to do that in K750 to w800) . Will the camera shutter still be active? ( this is the main reason why I’m raising this question). What are the disadvantages here as against having w610’s main and fs?
Waiting for your reply before flashing
Saravanan. You can keep k550 FS, it works that way too, but think about it. You won’t have a lot of files, like the flash menus, walkman skins, the menu itself etc. It might get a bit unstable too, so we recommend flashing FS (and backing up everything before doing it).
Thanks a lot akshay, I have moved to w610 completely. Wow the process seems to be soooo easy compared to the days of K750 to W800.
Hail the developers!!
Thanks again.
Hey, man, I’m not Akshay!! And yes, flashing a K750 to a W800 is a nightmare compared to this… 😉
Hey Akshay, great to see you excelling in this field! 🙂 Keep up the good work, dude! 🙂
ANi
Great guide, very easy to flash my phone from k550 to w610, only thing is when I tried to add my own cust pack I put a flash theme in there, just the .swf file, in the correct directory and stuff and after I added the cust pack it wasn’t there. Any ideas?
Oh and I used r8b fs europe 2 and r8b Main generic NA but I couldn’t find cust packs that were r8b so I used one that was r8a, does that matter? The phone still works fine, so I dont know
You could download an R8A custpack, is there such a FW version? AFAIK the custpack version doesn’t matter, because the customize.xml doesn’t contain Firmware version-related information. But you can also use FAR Manager to upload SWF files, as I did. 😉
peti can i upd8 my phone using SEUS? if i update it, can i turn back it to k550i?
Don’t use SEUS. If you do it, it will convert the phone to CID53, and that is not supported by the software we use (XS++, SeTool 2, FAR Manager SEFP, JDFlasher). Besides I’ve read a story about updating a crossflashed K550i@W610i, it said that the phone then couldn’t be connected to the PC ever again.
I can’t get Far manager to work. It opens fine but when I try to select SEFP after pressing alt + f1 it says Exception occurred the plugin must be terminated and then the program has to close. I tried finding another version of the plugin and that didn’t work either. What do I do?
Have you installed the flash plugins or SEUS?
I think so. I used SEUS before I flashed my phone from a k550 to a w610. Is there something else I need to do?
Never mind. I just got it to work. Thanks though
Hi I got a question about the acoustics.
Should there be a ifs and other files in the custback or should i make the folders myself?
No, custpacks don’t have it, but it can be added to them, or you can use FAR Manager to upload them to the phone’s FS.
Does this work also?
files_to_upload/ifs/settings/camera/***camera driver file here****
and should i make the folders: files_to_upload and so on myself?
I don’t really get the question. Use FAR Manager and upload and change your drivers when you like to. Don’t waste your time with XS++, it is just for flashing main, FS and custpack.
You just have to use FAR Manager (SEFP), and upload skins in separate directories in tpa/system/multimedia/mp/skin folder. Then in Walkman, you can press the right soft key, and Settings, and Skins.
peti how can i use the walkman 2 skins? do i have to use the XS++?
Check my comment above yours. 😀
what if my phone is K550i china will this tutorial works in china phone.. ??
It works, but when you flash a generic main, you lose chinese input. So to have a chinese w610, you need a chinese mbn file for w610 first. But I can’t find it on topse.ru. :S
wat will happen if i dun have the chinese input?? is that bad or good??
It just means that when you are writing, you can’t use chinese, only english or so.
ohhh… ic.. thank you for the info.. i thought it will damage my CP.. thanks thanks
Hardware is not harmed, it is writing that gets harder for chinese people…
i keep asking sorry for that i got one last question.. if i put a theme for w660i does it work fine in k550i?
If it is a thm file, it will. AFAIK W660 is 176×220 px, so it will be fine. 240×320 themes are displayed badly on our phones. Walkman skins, too. 😛
Question about custompacks…
I just flashed my phone (only the main, not FS) to the W610 firmware version R8BA024. I want to change my phone to EUROPE_4, and I have the EUROPE_4 FS file already – but which custompack do I need with it?
I looked in XS++ and wasn’t sure which custpack to use since there aren’t any specifically for the W610. So I downloaded a file called W610i_HB1-06_Gen_CDA102568_13_R8A_GENERIC_EUROPE_4, but I need to know if that’s the right one before I flash the FS. And if not, where can I find the right custompack for it? Thanks. 🙂
If the tag in customize.xml is ok, so EUROPE_4, then it is ok. 😉
Hi akshayy
really you work very good i have recently purchased k550i i want to flash it but i recently come to know that you mantion that not use SEUS.
now i have already updated my phone by SEUS before come to your site.
now how i can know that my phone is updated with CID53 or not and if it is updated than how can i remove it.
thanks for your effort and advice you give in your site
thanks
just connect phone to XS++ to know it
XS++ will write in the log window: OTP CID: 52 and EROM CID: 53, probably.
hey Akshay and Peti
thanks for your prompt and immediate answer.
i got it and connect pone to XS++ and i got this
OTP CID: 51 and EROM CID: 52 so i think that i can flash my cell to W610i.
thanks for your help now i will go through your tutorial
i dont understand what is FS and where i can find it in my phone or XS log file? please clear it so i can download appropriate FS for my K550i.
OTP CID cannot be upgraded, it is one-time-programmable memory, if the erom cid is 52, you can go ahead.
FS is File System. And fbn file, a compressed image file of the phone’s file system. You must use the appropriate for your regieon. But the tutorial tells what to do.;)
I have a problem with my Sony K550i. The screen turn to white colour whenever i press my keypad. When I take out my battery and insert in again, it still displays white screen. I have send the phone to the shop but its helpless. Could anyone able to help me to let me know what is the problem? Please
so I flashed the main and the fs and also put the custpack all in one with the ones for w610 and my phone starts and then it asks in what way to display the network but then it ask me to insert a sim card although I have one in. What did I do wrong?
your phone has got locked…
unlock it…
http://www.akshayy.com/sonyericsson/tutorials/unlock-db2020-se-phones/
Or maybe the SIM card is not connected all right. 😉
@Raj Ariavan: Reflash main, it will fix it (probably).
hey akshay
i have a problem that i am going to flash k550i@610 but in FS in hgetis thread i didnot found appropriate 610iFS for my pone my is M_EAST_N_AFR and firmware is R6BC002 EROM is R3A022.
so which will be and i also not find appropriate k550 FS also in list than which one is for me is it Central asia??
hey akshay!

im applying quick acess now 🙂
kiransb use any fs …. that’s what i do
jocekp . .. nice
i made the keylock. nosound and headset icon gfx for r6 check: http://www.semf.wordpress.com
hey dude i have successfuly converted my k550i to w610i!thanx tu u people.Now please tell me has the acoustics also changed from that of k550i to w610i? Also apart from this topic, can i change the housing of k550i
W610 has different acoustics… but not nearly as good as W880…
Housing? You mean the body of the phone? You can, but what would you change it to?
Hi akshayy
thanks for your answer but i again have query.you said i can use any FS than which custom pack i will have to use. my M_EASt_N_AFRICA regions or which ever FS i use???? i feel very odd and shameful that i recurrently bothering you and disturbing your. if feel so please let me tell i will not disturb you again.
again sorry for bother you
thanks
You can use any FS, but to have your language in it, you should use the same; if you use English, it doesn’t matter.
I messed something up. When I turn my phone on now, it says “Configuration error, please contact your service provider”
What do I do? Please help
thanks peti
i now understand that if i want english than it dose not matter which FS and Which custompack i use.
thanks for it. now i can go on for flashing.
@ kiransb: 😉
@ quicksilver21098: in such cases you can use the seach function of this site, and also google, I searched for “sony ericsson configuration error” and the fourth result was http://www.akshayy.com/sonyericsson/tutorials/configuration-error-solution/
Never mind. I was able to fix it. That was so scary
Thanks for your help Peti. I really appreciate it
quicksilver.. you did not read tutorial properly and get scared >? lol .. !! you should read with patience 😉
little question. THe cust pack has to match you FS, but in what? In region or firmware number ? for example, when I have R8BA024, can I use any cust pack i want, as long as the region en language are the same?
Great tutorial,akshay,you rock!Does anyone have a w610 r8ba024 layout without sidebars and operator logo?
sorry… but layout xml is same for all 176×220 screen phones and all firmwares … !
it has to match in Languages….. !!
use if you are using CENT EUROPE FS then use a cust pack which has CENT EUROPE FS letters in its long long name
hmm, I have a weird problem. When I connect my k550i to the pc via XS++, I get a message if I would like to update to erom CID 52. I click yes and XS++ is writing scripts and after that I unplug my phone. But when i connect again I get the same message. XS++ doesn’t seem to update my phone by cid 52. Any idea’s ?
never mind, I’m going to update my phone with you tutorial on SEtool

Hey Akshay, i flashed my K550i following the exact instructions and now it will not accpept my SIM card, how do I unlock it again while keeping the W610i Firmware/FS ?
Follow this:
http://www.akshayy.com/sonyericsson/tutorials/unlock-db2020-se-phones/
now just unlock it !! using a w610 firmware
Hey akshay!

any modds for w810? or flashing tutorials maybe?
I’m planning to modd my sister’s w810.
How can I delete the walkman 2.0 skins that I uploaded?? When I delete them in XS++ using FSX, nothing happens. any idea’s?
@ Jay: no w810 stuff here.
@ cheese: try FAR Manager. 😉
hi akshayy
i have downloaded from your download area clipart file which is uploaded by fisharman10.
i thank you for giving me such good stuff. but i have problem that i dont know how to add this clipart to my K550i? please tell me.
They have to be uploaded to tpa/system/preset/multimedia/pe. Use FAR Manager.
thank you very much peti. i will do it with your guidance.
I want to flash my FS again, to remove the SE links. So I only have to check FS in XS++ and leave the main unchecked?
yes
flash only fs
after flashing FS, do i have to apply the quick acces patch again? Cause I know it’s applied on the main, but I don’t know if this interfers with the FS.
no need
patch is applied to main
And you should delete *.itm files from the custpack.
yeah 😛 that’s the reason why I flashed my FS again.
hey guys, i followed all instructions in this tut from head to toe. this is the most comprehensive tut ever written for any procedure so far. i was planning to sell my k550i for its boring features and above all low sound. after flashing it to 610i and loading xeroma acoustics, no more buying cell fones for the next 10 years, and yes i gifted my ipod to my sister with a wide smile on my face and he just cant understand why ?
Nice to Know that !! Congrats !
Now check out Patching, JD Flasher/SeTool 2 lite.

Hi Akshay,
After reading your tutorial I flashed my k550 to w610. Thanks akshay Its great.
Now Ive 2 questions to ask,
1 Should I delete original menu.ml in w610 before I upload w610 cybershot menu.ml ?
2 Editing layout.xml I changed the position of date and time in stand by screen. so now the time is in top right and date is in top left. but the date is always stays closer to X2. I want to keep it closer to X1. so when the date format changes it will go to left to right (not right to left) Is there any place in layout.xml to edit this?
Thanks
Arjuna
just overwrite.
about layout xml i don’t know what you said. just go through entire layout xml to find out values. its an xml and easy to figure out
Hi Aksyah
As you said I overwrite w610 cybershot menu. Now there are 2 menu.ml s in my-menu foldes- in FS (1 original w610 menu.ml 2 w610 cybershot menu.ml) but in the main menu camara name has not changed as cybershot What is the problem please help me
There can’t be 2 menu files. Menu must have the name of “menu.ml”, you must overwrite the old file with the new one.
Hi Peti & Akshyy
i am back with another query. Sorry for bothering you.
i have back up my GDSF by Setools and another one with
XS++. i got it but it saws me as SM Player file. means
it is movie file like. SM Player is my default media
player for my PC. so what kind of file this must be?
and how i convert this file in to it??
dude its a binary file with .bin extension
what can i do if on your computer .bin opens with xyz program
its not a movie/music dude.
on my computer .bin opens with a hex editor
some one else computer .bin opens in notepad etc etc.
I’ve been tweaking my phone for 2 weeks now and I just want to say that this site/tutorial is great. This is how a site should be like. Amazing respons, great lay-out, good structure. Keep up the good work!!
About stucture: not the best at all. We should have some site map or so, I think.

hi Peti and Akshyy
will it be possible that in clip art we can make it smaller or bigger as per photo size. means if there is a photo with smaller size we can make mustache or beard smaller and if big size close up we can adjust cat`s ears or another clip art adjust as per photo size??
thanks
hello
i’v flashed my k550i to w610, and its successfull
but, i.ve found a problem, it couldnt download from internet
the gprs setting is correct, i could browsing, catting with software like mig33 or bing is going well,
but when i want to download somthing, ex from getjar, it wont start at all and ended with notification “network failed”
does anybody hv an idea whts wrong with my phone??
i need help here, thanks
fui,
i lived in indonesia
i flashed my k550 with
W610_R8BA024_MAIN_GENERIC_NA_RED52
W610_R8BA024_FS_CENT_EUROPE_RED52
W610_CDA102568_202_R2A_GENERIC_APAC
is those r right combination?
oh y, once more, i need FS and CDA for my region, APAC
thanks 4 your attention
Well it is not a flashing question but yes, it is possible. You select the mustache and when placing it, you adjust its size with the zoom/volume keys on the right side of the phone.
Wow Wow Wow this is not doggy sound but really i glad and speak it out to you for thanks and your help
If you want to say thanx, then upload content to seflashing.extra.hu. 😛
o.k. sir i will try my best. though there is nothing more than your knowledge to me but i will try my best to upload new stuff to upload there
Like (working!!) vkp patches! Or make your own sysgfx patches! Or I don’t know… :$
oh man, i just update my phone to cid53 coz i read some older thread in digitforum that tell me to do so. is there any hope tat i can use flash in my phone in future time??
thx for this detailed guide, sadly, i won’t be using it… arghh…
sucks. CID53 can be flashed to w610 using JDflasher with CID53 firmwares.
now i don’t have CID53 firmwares.
you can buy them from seusers.com if you want.
sorry that tutorial on thinkdigit.
well i did a more exciting thin den flashing……. i got a 16m lcd with 240*320 of exactly the same dimensions as the k550’s and used it in da phone…..the display has changed a lot…….. W WORK IN MOBILE ZONE ( PAKISTAN;S LARGEST MOBILE PHONE WARRANTIER) …AND I ALSO PUT THAT PHONE UNDER FULL WARRANTY…

@sparky
You might having a dead pixel camera. If you change hundreds of camdrivers also cannot fix a dead pixel cam.
Probably hardware problem, but I’d try reflashing fs and cda.
Hi Akshay,
Two weeks ago I flash my k550 to w610. Now my main is R6BC002 and FS is R6BC002 CENT EUROPE. Phone is working smoothly with those. But now I want to apply some patches and graphics. So I think Its better if I have R8BA024 in my phone. can I flash only the main with R8BA024, leaving old FS in phone? If I can, when I do this is there any chance to erase my data in FS. i mean contacts, swf files ,edited menu ml with icons ect . Should I backup those
sorry for the long question. coz I wanna to explain clearly, Thanks
Arjuna
No, you won’t erase stuff, but those two firmwares may be incompatible, I’ve had r6 main and r8 fs and I had only english lng… So give it a try anyway.
any way I flash main and fs both with R8. Its ok now.
yesterday I made a mistake. After I read GDFS from setool2lite I saw that was an old version of setool (1.07). Now I have ver 1.11 So when Im going to use this new version should I take a backup (read gdfs)again.
Hello,
Sir i flash my k550 to w610 firmware
but no.network coverage but No sound
plz help what i do?
x3 the best tutorial. IMO its foolproof ’cause even an idiot like me can get it right! Now I have the coolest phone around, Cybershot with Walkman, vice-versa! Thanks mate, Akshay! Also its great of Peti and Akshay to hang around here answering our questions :).
@arjuna: there’s no need for it.
@ALi: some details! xs++ 3.1? which fw?
@instinKt: besides google has never paid yet…
Hi Peti, I have a question If I move tpa/system/multimedia/ folder to usb/other/sys/walk using a vkp patch, can I add/delete walkman skins with out using far manager. I mean only using phone’s file manager just like delete/add ringtons, pitc ect
Yes, that is correct, I for example use MyPhoneExplorer to upload skins, without even restarting the phone. 🙂
hi i downloaded the custpack for APAC region from hgetis, but when i load it up onXS++ it says it’s AMERICA…both APAC file on hgetis post is like that…
can someone send me the custpack for APAC?
AMERICA_2. XS++ said the same about my CENT_EUROPE custpack for w610 and it said k510… Don’t worry about it.
hmm..but then the input languages for my messages i dun have the option of typing chinese…my phone language however has simplified chinese
how do i enable writing in chinese?
msn:[email protected]
email: [email protected]
gah i know what im missing already…i need the zs.t9 file in the language folder and i dun have it, does anyone here have the zs.t9 file?…much appreciate it if u could email it to me.
[email protected]
I only have zs.lng, no t9. At http://seflashing.extra.hu/?mode=dlPimp&category=lngfiles .
I doubt that would be the problem though. You need to flash a chinese main on to have chinese input.
Reply sent in mail, too.
i have flashed it but when i start the phone it still is the same media player as the old one. shouldn’t it be a walkman player??
Should. You may have used K550 files instead of W610 files. Or didn’t flash everything (main, fs, custpack).
Follow the tutorial properly.
lol Peti turns out ur right…i flashed the main using china main and using the apac fs and apac custpack…now it works like a charm.
by the way…i found some camera drivers that requires u to mod the graphics file..if i only upload the driver and .lng file for the different camera menus but not the graphics..is that okay?
Different graphics?:O I guess it is sysgfx patching then. Should apply the patches, but china is not really patchable, considering that it is rare.
just wanted to say thanks!! i followed your guide and had no problems,keep up the good work!!!
how to apply patch with xs++?
It’s best to use JDFlasher or SeTool. IIRC XS++ can apply patches but it isn’t stable.
err people i need help…i helped my girlfren flashed her k550 to w610..the problem is her phone is CID51…when i connected it to XS it said that the phone is CID51 and asked me whether i want to make it CID52 anot…i answered yes and then after it was done proceeded with the flashing..
her firmware version is R1JD001 and i used China main and APAC FS with generic APAC custpack
when everything was done it says
“please insert correct simcard”
anyone tell me whats wrong?…or was upgrading it to CID 52 from CID 51 my fatal error?
LOL !!!!! now get thrashed by your gf.
Actually the phone is locked.
Now you need to just unlock it to start the phone.
there is an unlocking tutorial in tutorials section.
phone is starting.. but is locked……
,,,i’ve changed my phone to walkman,,, thanks,,
,,now i got a problem,,i want to put new flash themes but my phone wont get detected on xs++ v3.1,,,,
Try JDFlasher?
so akshay….the flashing process went okay?…just that i need to unlock it?…phew luckily…i tot maybe i bricked her phone
Hi Akshay, I hv 2 questions.
1. If I change my phone name acco: your tutorial, using _upgrade xml, should I do MASTER RESET after starting my phone?
2. It is k550, I flash to w610 and customized lot of things, menu ml,icons, layout,and several patches also there. with all this if I do master reset What will happen?
simox link doesnt work…another link?…btw do i have to do the quick access patch?…issit neccessary?
simox link is not working >??
try downloding same through proxy
or google search the same.
master rest will only remove files from phone memory that’s all.
yeah just try to do things correctly
actaully forget that
create own defalut upgrade as in tutorial and use that later after all flashing.
when I try to make default_upgrade. xml (for change my phone name) as your tute, everytime it shows an error. so what I did, extract my fs and checked default_upgrade.xml. According to that I edited my default_upgrade.xml. as follows
Hybrid
Is this ok?
well ,,, i got this error message on xs++,, it says cannot open communication port
@silva: what hybrid? error may mean syntax error of xml. Try using a syntax-highlighter text editor.
@kril: first try using JDFlasher to see if xs++ has the prob or not. If that doesn’t work, then try other phone/pc or reinstall windows…
can n e 1 help me:(….. im having problem wid my z310.its network is locked.how can i flash it with xs++?and where to get the custpack..the phone is cid52.
how can i unlock my z310:(
tell me what platform that phone is… and also its cid.
It is pnx5230.
hi I have tried to flash my w610 but i made a mistake, a big one i guess: first i upgrade my firmware to a cid53 version then i flashed my phone using the JDflasher and a cid53 firmware from a w580 (W580_R8BA024_MAIN_GENERIC_NA_RED53.mbn and W610_R6BC002_FS_AMERICA_2_RED53.fbn), then I tried to turn on my phone but i cant!!! i only get a white screen and no more, please help me, tell me what to do!!! this is my mail: axelm86@hotmail
now download w610 CID53 firmwares main and reflash phone with them.
I did everything as it’s said with no errors but when I start the phone I got massage “Insert correct SIM card” what shuld I do?
OBI1
your phone was LOCKED. UNLOCK it.
Using the UNLOCK and APPLYING PATCH tutorial at our website.
i had flashed my phone 2months ago now i need to flash some things,but i cant flash because when i turn off the phone XS 2.2 doesnt connect it.I tried to do everything i can do but nothing happened. Can u tell me whats the problem,pls tell any other software u know which is easy to use. Pls reply.Thanks for the tips and methods.TC
Did you reinstall Windows? (and that way lost drivers)
You can try SeTool2Lite and JDFlasher (it is not easy to use as a beginner). Also reinserting battery and holding c?
Hey dude this is a great tutorial. There is just one thing. I Live in the USA and I speak no asian languages whatsoever, BUT when I check the firmware of my phone using XS++3.1, it says my region is HONG KONG. Now if im going to flash I want to be able to read what is on my phone. oh yeah i have a SE K550i. I was just wondering because you said download the correct FS for your language and region. The region is hong kong for my phone but i speak english. Thank you for your time
use any firmware. as you want english.
o ok i just went ahead and flashed an “Asia” FS with a Hong Kong Custom Pack and it works perfectly! Thanks so much dude. I didnt know that the radio would go away though. well i should have read up a little more it. Not that important anyway. Thanks a bunch man. I bought the phone from a California Merchant off Ebay but his phones are imported thats why i was a little leery. Thanks again!
Hmm radio doesn’t go away, I have it… (W610 R6BC002 CID52 CENT_EUROPE)

No, we don’t. But K550 tutorials may work on it, give it a try.
AFter flashing:
1. Hows the k550i@w610 loudspeaker versus w610i loudspeaker(Stock drivers all) cause some say k55 has smaller holes
2. Hows k550i@w610i camera quality versus w610i versus k550i(Stock drivers all)?
3. Is the camera module of w610i different from k550i?
everything you asked is same no difference.
hello akshay,
i just want to ask, how can i find cust pack far APAC region?
is it very important to flash the cutpack after flashing MAIN and FS ? thanks.
how to delete skins installed in phone
ya man .. else phone won’t start with out custpack.
use any fs and any custpack as you are from india.
apac cust pack is there .. you just need to read clearly in the hgetis collection.
Ok, thx for your answer.
I have found he right custpack of APAC region.
Yesterday, i’m tried to flash with xs++, but something strange came up. XS++ alwasy died if i’m choose main and FS together. Is it okay if i’m flash it one by one? I mean First main and after that FS and finally cust pack?
thanks
ok one by one or all 3 in one shot.
anything.
after i flashed my k550i w/ w610i main and fs the autofocus is gone on camera mode. and when i flashed it again on main k550 while w610 on fs still there is no autofocus on camera mode. how can i take my autofocus back on camera mode?is there any difference without it?
OMG !! You don’t know how to use camera still ??
In camera settings change focus mode from Infinity to Auto Focus or Macro Focus.
Quite Simple
Hi akshay pls suggest me a excellent cam driver with the link and i am not at all afraid to use extreme cam driver
Hi akshay pls suggest me a excellent cam driver with the link and i am not at all afraid to use extreme cam driver
MHQ and Number1 3.0 are told the best for K550@W610. I don’t have links, but try se-nse.com and seusers.com.
Hey Akshay! I want to flash but I have some question before I do that:
1. Will my k550i flash light be usable after flashing it to w660i?
2. If there is a power cut during flashing, my phone is dead right? so what should I do? and when should I use the Backed up GDFS?
3. Will my FM radio still work with my headset?
4. Is there any risk in installing new cam drivers?
5. When I have successfully flashed to w610i, I should download themes for what mobile phone. the k550i or w610i?
6. Are the firmwares you provided 100% correct and tested, I mean they are not corrupt right?
7. After successfully flashing, can there be any problems or bugs in my phone?
8. What are flash menus?
Thanks in advance!
Oh and one more question:
How long does the flashing process take? so that I may know when it’s about to finish!
All the disadvantages are already mentioned.
Everything else works.
I don’t know what to do in case of powercut..
Everything in this tutorials is as safe as you make it.
Everything works. Else it would not be in this tutorial.
Just read out comments of success right here !
OK! thnx akshay!
Also, can I flash it with windows vista? Will XS++ v3.1 work in Vista?
Yes, it should. Though it is still better to use VirtualBox and virtualize an XP installation, I think, but give it a try.
I’m very afraid of screwing up this phone as I have just had it for a week!
So, is it confirmed that Flashing can be done successfully under vista?
I don’t want to risk it just because of Vista!
PLEASE ANSWER this one too!!!!
Suppose I have flashed the main and FS. Only custom pack remains.
Now, in the modding section there are acoustics, cam drivers, flash menus and walkman skins. Can I extract the Custom_pack, add all acoustics, cam drivers etc and then flash it!
I mean flash the MAIN, FS and my custom pack with all the drivers and acoustics in one go?
It should work on vista, I have screenshot with xs running on vista. 😀
Yes, it is possible to do it. Still I prefer to use XS only to upload original custpack, then JDFlasher to upload drivers.
IT worked! Thnx so much guys!
I love the mega bass!
Now, one more question:
I should download games and application and themes for w610i or k550i?
akshayy,u r doin a great work.Im new in this.Recently my phone does not starting up.If i try for long,once or twice it just starts & again switches off.Only a attempting booting screen is visible.What is the problem u think and how to fix it.Plz tell me.
@Hasnain: java games and apps are the same for W610 and K550, as they have same screen resolution.
@Sovan: it can have many reasons. Most likely low battery. 😀 Did you try charging it?
If it doesn’t work that way, you’ll have to try reflashing Main and FS.
OK, I have a problem:
I used sonarik’s cam drivers. Everything works fine except I have these two problems:
1. The camera crashes when I use panaroma mode or I choose a frame.
2. the “negative” and “solarize” effects don’t work.
Should I try some other drivers?
Yes, you should. Is it even for that phone?:O
I used w880 acoustic driver, and now i want to use xaero ma loud acoustic driver.
xaero ma loud has only 17 files and w880 acoustic has 44 files,
how to use xaero ma loud acoustic driver?
I must delete all w880 acoustic driver and then upload xaero ma loud driver? or
I just replace the same files with xaero ma loud driver files?
Just upload xaero, it will overwrite the necessary files.
i have a problem:
this is the fs i flahsed onto my k550i(cid53)
W610_R6BC002_FS_EUROPE_4_RED53
nd this is the cda:
HB1_06_Gen_CDA102568_13_R6A_GENERIC_EUROPE_4
the phone is showing config error
how do i change my fs back to k550i fs successfully?
How did you upload custpack (=CDA)?
i downloaded the cda pack,
i uploaded it in tpa\preset\custom
man it is 2 am here in india, i hv scul tomo!
i beg of you, plz instruct me abt the cda thing
my k550i is jus a few days ols nd i dun want it dead already!!!!!
pls instruct me here on the comments section or plz mail me at [email protected] OR [email protected]
i’d be really grateful
i request again, plz temme!
i’d be really grateful if u cud provide me with ur email id, for further correspondence
I know it’s a lame question, but worth a try. Did you extract the custpack? What files were in it?
//sent in mail, too.
hey peti! i got no mails on my first id, nd d second id i typed wrong(in case u didnt notice, i typed htomail, instaed of hotmail!)
yeah did extract the pack!
these were the files
CONTENT_DOWNLOAD_HOOK.itm
Customize(xml file)
FM_PICTURES_HOOK_3.itm
FM_SOUNDS_HOOK_3.itm
FM_THEMES_HOOK_3.itm

nd yeah, i didnt do all the notepad stuff mentioned by akshay, the tut simply flew over my head, i just downloaded the cda nd uploaded it, nd i m pretty sure that my main was flashed successfully coz, the demo shown in the fone(when there is no sim) is of w610i1, man plz respond via email
[email protected]
[email protected]
plz temme if reverting back to k550i fs wud be easier, maybe i wont need ne custpack,
my cell might still be working on the k550i fs(maybe?)
i m dying to try the main flash, nd even more to have my phone back!
nd yeah, thought i should mention this, when i pasted the cda in the custom folder, it is not stored in the main directory! it is saved in the drm folder!
I sent the mail and then Windows Live! Sh!t sent it back, saying it doesn’t meet their requirements.
Flashing back to K550 would be just as hard. 😉 (same process, just different files)
Saved in drm folder?? It must be tpa/preset/custom, that’s why it isn’t working, man!! 😀
yeah! i uploaded it exaclty there!
then where do i need to upload it ?
hurray! a brain wave! all i needed to do was to upload the bloody customize file, i was doin that, but it kept copying in the drm folder, all i had to do was to select nd f5 it! i m done!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
thnx to mr akshayy for his simple explanations
tho i feel he could do with a page telling how to upload the cda using jdflasher
But he didn’t write anything here?:O
That wouldn’t be a flashing idea, it is “using computer” basics… 😉

plzz help i cant do games and aplications
You can’t crossflash a K550 to a W660, only W610. With W660 stuff it gets buggy.
Its amazing… I did for my self and now i too got cubershot walkman. I feel like camera quality reduced a bit. Any how i am satisfied with music quality and flash menues.
All drivers can be modded, camera and sound (acoustics) too. Read the tutorial. 😉
i have xs++ v.3.2 .. the program can not detect my phone.. what seems to be the problem?..
pls help guys.. thanks..
XS++ 3.2 was never officially released, only a leaked beta can be found on the net and it can kill your phone. Don’t use it.
Probably you don’t have flashing drivers installed on your pc, look for “Installing USB Flash Drivers” here.
If you have them, try connecting the phone to pc when it is on. If you can’t or it suddenly disconnects, your connector is overused, you’ll have to get it replaced… Like I’m having mine now. :'(
say my thanks to pratik ok………now i get my cybershot-walkman…….thanks to him…
But that was a tutorial on THIS SITE. :$ 😛
how do i get to upload swf extension wallpapers on my k550i@w610i?
also plz tell how to upload walkman 2 skins to fone using jdfalsher, cid 53
Connect the phone when it is on, use file transfer to copy them pictures folder.
Connect to JDFlasher, use ofs / bfs. ofs is faster. Go to TPA\SYSTEM\multimedia\MP\SKIN\ and upload skins in separate directories.
i copied them to the pics folder int he file transfer mode but it does not open the file?????????
instead of the pic i get to view a stupid maromedia flash “f” logo!
i pasted the skins in the desired direc and got the desired effect……pretty cool till here
this was till i uploaded only 1 additional skin to the palyer
as soon as i added more of them,
the player does not even show the previos ones!!!!!!!!!!
only thing i nsee when i go to change the themes in the player is the stupis “OFF” option!!!!!!!!!
is there a limit to the no of skins the walkman player can handle?
On that Macromedia Flash file, you hit right soft key and set as background.
This walkman overload had happened to me before. So I came up with a solution. There are bin setting files for Walkman, I deleted them all, and it started working. You find them at tpa/system/multimedia/mp.
i found my mistake
nd i wont mention it to prevent to avoid making a fool of myself……..
ne ways, i got a challenge for u guys………..
in india, apart from the usual operator logo, we have another logo right beaneath it where the cell info is displayed, nd even after applying the no logo layout, i still get that stupid logo,
i kno u’d tell me to turn off the cell reception thingy in the message settings, i alredy did that, so instead of the cell info, the ope logo-DOLPHIN is still displayed???????????
plz figure ot out!!!!!!!!!!
i hv my hopes tied on peti nd akshay
u kno some wallpapers dont look gud wid a stupid ope logo blotted over them!!!!!1
Strange, when I flashed to W610, I lost my cellinfo. You can disable it in messaging settings.
Other solution is ELVES, LogoChanger.elf.
Hi , Akshay and Peti.
U guys r great. Can u tell me how to change the name camera in main menu and how can i download u r Exterme device(k550i@W610i) main ,fs . Thanks
Extreme device is Akshay’s joke about his phone, he calls it that way. 😀
To rename the camera (only works in standard menus, no flash menus), look at the “Tune your phone’s calculator” tutorial, there I wrote about the thing or the “Menu modding”.
when i open XS++ it shows me that it’s version 3.1(darwin). i have used this version to flash k550i to w610i a long time ago, when SEUS updated phones to CID52. If i use that version to flash a CID53 phone, will it work ??
u aint getting it peti! its like, when i disable cellinfo, frm the mesage settings, i still get that stupid operator name-dolphin . and can elves be applied on cid53???????
i ws thinking, might there be prob wid my no operator logo layout??????
i’ll check it out right mow………
nd one more thing, can vfx patches be applied on cid53??????? itries wid jd flasher but the qa flash just wont happen!
hey peti!!!!
after searching the net, i actually found the words to express my real problems
the thing is, in the operator logo,
the first line does disappear, but the second line in the operator logo is still there!!!!!!!!
can u mail me the layout wid both line disappeared?
my email is
[email protected]

@marius: it (XS++ 3.1) doesn’t support CID 53. Version 3.2 will.
@dushyant: I don’t have those files now. But here I have 2 lines. One op. logo, that can be removed with the layout provided in the tutorial and the cellinfo. Strange.
@peti where i can download k550i R6BC002 main and fs firmware? In case i want to revert it back
@peti where i can download k550i R6BC002 main and fs firmware? In case i want to revert it back the all content of k550i .
Here: http://www.thinkdigit.com/forum/showthread.php?p=628213#post628213
there are many of those.
@peti–cant ne thing be done to the second line in the op logo????????? a single line luks shittier than the two of them!!!!!!!!!
is there a link to most of the available animated themes on the net, which includes their flash menus?
like a pack with a theme and its menu bundled together?
I don’t really get what you are trying to say, can’t you make a photo of it?
Use topse.ru, they have many themes.

Hi Akshay and Peti, Which firmware is better.R1kg001,R6BC002,R8ba024. i have flashed my k550 to w610(R1kg001)firmware with Xs++.and i have customized my phone(not using cust pack) just select k800i and Europe2 in the xs++ and it worked fine. Is there any problem using K800i? When my mobile restart it does not have the walkman palyer (like other W series mobile) select but it has normal mode and flight mode only??? I hope u guys Understand my question. Thanks
how cn i edit the layout file so as to delete the time and dat???? in k550i
@w610i
sorry, i meant *date
@limons: my phone is flashed properly, still no walkman mode, only flight. Walkman mode is for W800 and such phones.
The best is always the newest, but in this case, I suggest R6BC002, as it is the only one that can run ELVES with the right patches.
@dushyant: It’s a long time since I worked on layout.xml, wow. You use Search, for Date or Timer, and set its coordinates negative numbers, it is enough to set their height to -10 or so; but still, why would you delete them? :O
the date nd timer blot sum wallpapers, u kno!
there are are couple of dates nd times in there…………………i dont kno the real one????????
<attr value=”62″/> <attr value=”173″/> <attr value=”155″/> <attr value=”176″/> <attr value=”5″/> <!– Date –>
can elves be applied to cid 53?
No.
can i Change the acoustic of my phone? i have CID 53 k550.
Yes, you can even crossflash to W610 (both only with JDFlasher).
haih.. i think i screwed up. big problem. duno wether can it be fixed. i followed all the steps but.. =(
OK, problem solved! My phone did NOT like the W610i main & FS files linked to at the top of your tutorial. Used these (older?) ones – EUROPE 2 R1KG001 – as linked to from http://www.josephn.net.
Don’t know what the problem was with the ones you link to, just relieved to have my phone functioning again.
Thanks for the great tutorial by the way!
can anyone please tell me how can i change the acoustic of my CID 53 K550i phone with JDFLASHER?
@JC: are you asking for help now?
@Sunny: By uploading new files to ifs/settings/acoustic.
I flashed my k550i to w610i. but there is a problem i flashed it with w610 main but i used w660i fs plz help me
Flash W610 FS on.
can k550i@w610i be flashed to w660i?????????
i read about some light effects stuff on the net………….
can u plz tell me how to go abt it?
It can be flashed to W660, but the phone gets unstable and you can’t call. Besides its GDFS get worn out too.
Lighteffects are made for W580 and such phones with lights on their side… K550 is limited in this aspect.
i flashed my phone followed all steps and when i turn it on menu and calll icons dont come up can only see battery and service how do i fix this. or turn back into just normal k550i i need help please
Bad firmware or bad custpack. What did you use?
the ones listed up the top in the guide. if any1 has a different main ,fs and custom pack can they give me a link phone is cent europe cid 52 firmare version R6BC002
They must work, I use them too. Go ahead and reflash everything, see if that works.
ne updates on applying gfx patches on cid 53??????
i heard somewhere, dat xs v3.2 can do it
nd are there ne latest plugins for jdflasher for cid 53 patching??????????
i m really pisse that i cant apply gfx patches like the battery pack and stuf 🙁
elf

ruled otu!!!!!!!!!!
tell me sumthing new to do wid my phone????????/
i have flashed it to w610i,loaded flash menus, loaded media player skins, flashed camdrivers, dispdrivers, acoustics, layout……. i really wanted to more…………..
Nothing new for CID 53… you didn’t mention menu modding. 😀
Hey dushyany, dont EVER use xs++ v3.2, it will kill ur fone (my bludy cousin tried and bricked his w580i CID53)
Hi Guys. I have got a interesting question.is I have successfully convert k550@w610 with R1K001 firmware with Setool and xs++. But next time when i insert my phone for flash menu with xs++ it says R8ba24.????? Thanks
i tried reflashing everything didnt work, any other ideas? it might be because i didnt flash a menu or media player skins and that stuff?. does any1 have a custom pack that will match my phone because that might fix it
question. is CDA different to the custom pack or is it the custom pack?
reflashed again with r8ba024 firmware still no menu or call icons i can’t go into anything still. i really need some help plz
@manz&dushyant: XS++ 3.2 was never released officially, there was a leaked beta, which really bricked some phones.
@limons: Maybe the main is R8 and the FS is R1?
@dylan: CDA=custpack. The phone should work after flashing main & fs and custpack. Are you sure that the phone was a K550? (I know it’s a stupid question, but can’t think of any other solution.)
@dylan. U can used this fs and main.In this link
http://www.josephn.net/k550_to_w610
i reflashed it back to k550i and inserted my telstra simcard and it did same thing it had been doing had no menu. so i put virgin simcard in which is network phone was locked to before i unlocked using setool2. is the problem that when u flash to new firmware the phone becomes locked again because i really want to flash to w610
Dunno. When you reflash, the phone loses patch unlocking. If it was unlocked by code or gdfs hacking, it will still work. If after flashing it says “Insert a correct SIM card.”, it means it was patch unocked before.
Do you have GDFS backup?
Hi Guys. How can i edit flash menu(.swf).Thanks
You need to decompile it, with Sothink SWF decompiler, to FLA format. Then edit with Adobe Flash CS 3 (used to be Macromedia Flash)
i have flashed my phone [email protected] i did not backup the phone GDFS. Can i now backup the phone GDFS?.How many times can flash any mobile??
You can back it up now. You can flash virtually unlimited times, though the flash chips will get overused… the firmware is stored the same way as your files in phone memory. Flashing is much like uploading 30MB to the phone FS. It will be worn out in 1000 years for sure, but you’ll probably buy a new phone before it could happen.
Hi Guys. How can i delete icons in the flash menu (.swf)and insert a new icon.Thanks
Decompile SWF with Sothink decompliler, export to FLA, edit with Adobe Flash CS3.
Hi Peti , How can i change Operator Logo and change the name.Thanks
By changing SIM card. XD
With LogoChanger (0.70) ELF by jasiek, install elfpack, install this and set the name in its ini.
Thanks but can my mobile k550@w610 firmware ver is R1KG001 can support elf.
Only R6BC002. Flash to that.
hey peti , If i use w880 acoustics can i use mega bass…etc . and can i reverse back to original??? Thanks
Yes, yes. In fact, MegaBass and acoustics have nothing to do with each other, 2 different things.
Hey Peti . what is best acoustics between w880 or w610.Should i update.Thanks
W880 is better. Upgrade.
hey peti, when i upload the w880 acoustics in this directory fs/settings/acoustic/ z… . with far manager. But when i play any song with walkman player 2 my mobile hang all the time. What is the problem.??????
another question. how to remove previous patch(.VKP)
That is probably one of your vkps. With SeTool 2 lite, when it asks, press Yes. With JDFlasher, tick remove patch. 😉
Hey Peti. Is w880 acoustics is really from sony ericsson w880i ? Thanks
Hi. I just wanted to thank you for this guide… I’ve successfully upgraded my K550i to W610i 😀 I had also to unlock with patch, but that was fairly easy… Now, to the even more modding 😀
Thanks again
@limons: As I said on forum, yes.
@AhmeT: Congrats. 😉
Hey all
I flashed only my main..is it ok???
how do i add skins and visualizations to my music player?
Thanks Peti
hey peti I have seen in forum that W610 R8BA024 elfpack…Is this work or what????????
@limons
both r6bc002 and r8ba024 have their own elfpacks… you must use the version of your firmware
For adding skins..do i need to flash fs to??
I just flashed my main and i m not able to add skins to my music player….pls help me
Hey do i need to flash my FS too to add skins??
I just flashed my main but i m not able to add skins to my music player..Pls help
@SANTOSH: It is ok, but it’s better to flash FS too.
You don’t need to. If you can’t then go ahead and FLASH FS.
@limons & AhmeT: Incorrect. There is an elfpack for R8, but its library isn’t being updated. It is pretty unstable, you can barely run any elf on it. USE R6BC002.
i’ve cid53 phone, can i get it back to cid52? that i may follow ur tutorial to crossflash to w610?
i want it badly to crossflash my phone, if it aint possible, do u have link to w610 cid53 firmware?
is there another way to crossflash k550 cid53 to w610, w/o using w610 cid53 firmware?
ooooohh my…
thx alot
i updated my phone to cid53 is thr any way to get cid 52 back..pls help me out
You can’t.
There is a topic at se-nse.net. Besides there is 4shared.
There is no other way.
@jaspreet: There isn’t. Use JDFlasher and CID53 firmwares.
@peti and akshay my question is how to put a cybershot logo when you open the camera in main menu, because at w610i when you select the camera only an icon appear. I want a cyber shot logo is this possible?
omg… i was so looking forward to flash my k550i… but than i realised that i have CID53
15:11:58| OTP CID: 51
15:11:58| EROM CID: 53
i haven’t used SEUS before, i guess its because my handy is brandnew -.-
do anybody know, if XS++ is getting updated to support CID53 in the near future… or is there another way to flash such phones…
thx for your whole work
best regards
If it’s brand new, its OTP CID should be 53 too. JDFlasher can flash it for you… 😉
@markphil

what i mean is when you select and press the camera in main menu it open right, then you will see a…… In k550i you will see a cyber shot logo, sony ericsson with camera icon picture while in w610i only an camera icon picture. How to replace that w610i patches ? It is possible?
Btw @limons peti and akshay. When you use the w610 original cyber shot menu.ml… Does It replaces the name CAMERA to CYBER SHOT letter in the 3 default FLASH themes? Or you will see the effect in a non flash themes?
There is a SYSGFX patch for that. Available at se-lifesytle.com patches forum.
The menu.ml doesn’t replace it, it’s in LNG files.
i flashed with the main first then the fs from k550 to w610
its just displaying a screen saying
configuration error. Please contact your network operator or service centre…
help!!!
Upload a custpack. The tutorial clearly tells that it is a must. 😉
what is FS?
File System.
hey whats up again i have a question. I flashed my k550i to a W610i with no problem but the only problem is is that I didnt set up my picture messaging service (mms) and I tried the support page on SE’s website but it gave me and error message stating that there was a problem and the message had an “x” in it. I tried it for both phone models and got the same result.
But anyway I found the same exact problem on Yahoo answers and a guy said to contact my service provider and set it up cause SE’s support site is outdated anyway and I guess it worked for her cause she thanked him gloriously for it.
So I just wanted to know, when I go to at&t to set up my mms service, do I just let them work their majic under the assumption that it hasn’t been flashed, or do I tell them to configure it like it’s a W610i? Or does it even matter? (for future reference)
TY in advance!
@peti and akshay (to change the phone name), it didn’t work! I try the two option the default and custom the two won’t work! By the way does this thing appear in your notepad? Because mine is i think my notepad cannot recognize the other ”
can you create me a finish upgrade_custom.xml ? I want the name K550i + W610i
(capital letter K 550i space + space capital letter W610i)
thanks peti and akshay.
When you flash your warranty is gone. So why should they help? I used SE site and it worked fine for me. You can give it a try if nothing else works.
(whooa my first post delete the xml thing hope this 2nd post appear) By the way does this thing ?Xml version=”1.0″ encoding=”UTF-8″? appear in your notepad? Because mine is ?Xml version=”1.0(this section a strange letter o appear) encoding=”UTF-8(this section a strange letter o appear)? i think my notepad cannot recognize the other “
That is a part of the xml file, so of course it appears. Use Notepad++.
i want R6Bc002 Firmware
Topse.ru and 4shared.com.
By using notepad++ it will now rename the phone name? 100% ? What are you using to rename your phone? Notepad or notepad++ ?
Oh man! Why is it the notepad.exe cannot rename my phone?
hey i finally rename my phone name, i downloaded a .rar file in youtube and edit that default_upgrade.xml he he he he im happy now
can someone tell me which is the best acoustic driver and of the camera and thanks Akshayy for this tutorial.
@Bamboo: I don’t use anything to rename it, I just don’t rename it. It’s a pointless operation.
But I always use Notepad++ to edit xml files.
@jibran: Like Number1, MHQ and Brazuka. W880 original, Jockep’s, HyperDrive.
@peti and akshay after i sucessfully rename my phone to k550i+w610i my Track id is not working to normal, it appears in html format, Track id is for sony ericsson phone only. he he he. Its so funny that i will rename my phone again. What do you think the best name? K850i , c902, w880i, k550i, w610i ?
For me it is W610. 😉
@peti Which service center is the best? SE service center or nokia care?
Never used any, as my warranty was gone… 😀
Hi, i just want to ask, how do i have t prepare my phone?
The info on m2 will stay?
And could i use my simcard or i have to unlock it?
Remove the M2 card before flashing.
If the phone was unlocked by patching, not unlock code, you’ll have to unlock again.
Only one more question do you know if the “no operator layout” could work on a w880?
Not really. W880 has a larger screen. But ask for a oplogo removing tutorial at se-lifestyle.com. 😉
once again thanks !
hey i have one more problem 🙁
I tried back up my contacts with myphoneexplorer but it failed (i installed drivers)
Well then try again. Reboot pc and phone.
i tried that but it failed
Can i crossflash without backuping my contacts?
thanks i crossflashed my k550 😀 now i can play games 🙂
I guess you meant flashing drivers and not phone drv.
I’m also a satisfied owner of this phone and never tried to update its firmware or anything. Actually I don’t want to damage my phone due to any mistake while updating. But now its about a year old and I want to do some experimentation. I have downloaded XS++ and when I tried to connect my phone for GDFS backup, it offered me to update it to CID52 from CID51. I am a little confused here. Should I update it before backup or do it later after GDFS backup? Should I take out my SIM card before doing all this stuff? Can I backup my GDFS multiple times? Also is it any how possible to switch it back to original state like it was never flashed? Here is the XS++ generated log.

Before, I’m not sure you can backup GDFS on CID 51.
Take out sim, though doesn’t matter.
Multiple times, yes.
No original state. First, you can’t downgrade CID.
can u tell me clearly explain how to flash k550i i cant understand some words here like XS++ ,Cust_Pack/CDA,Customization
Download a Cust_Pack/CDA from hgetis collection which matches your FS !
connect phone ( usual process )
unzip the customization pack ( use the cust pack which goes with the FS of your choice or create one which is very easy )
you will find a folder named “tpa” in it
now in xs++ directory on PC, in the directory where u have xs++.exe create a new folder named “own_custpack”
copy the “tpa” folder into this “own_custpack” folder the path of custom files should be like own_custpack/tpa/preset/custom…
open xs++ and connect fone check only customize file system
now under phone model select ‘Own Custpack’
under CDA and Region, select ‘/own_custpack’
Now Hit Flash
now in few seconds custom files will be added to your phone and done
Start your phone !! Wait for some time !!
plz tell clearly man……………..
Thanks Peti and Akshay for all your help. I’ve succesfully conververted my K550i to W610i. Let me enjoy my new phone. 🙂 Thanks once again.
Regards,
SB.
@vikas: a set of files, most importantly customize.xml.
@SB: elves and patches… 😛

thank you very much
bambu_men
can you wait for some time ??
or else you use Jdflasher.
your phone is CID53, so we cant do it this way.
you need other programs
Daniel !! Congrats !!
i have an problem my phone EROM CID is not CID52.,it’s 53 can you help me
@akshay
ya, i can wait, but i hope not for long? so with jdflasher I could flashing k550 to w610 or only replace of camdriver and acoustic then? thx b4 akshay.
yeah go ahead with jdflahser.
you can flash with jdflasher
SnakeBoy !
Use Jdflasher and CID53 firmware.
so akshay, how to flashing k550 to w610 using jdflasher, can you give me a link about it? if just replacing camdvriver and acoustic, i can do that. but flasing, i think i can’t, need more tutor. and once more, can you give me link for jdflasher and its cid53 firmware 🙂 plz
I think those websites with Sony splitting with Ericsson are FAKE! i mean if they really were officially splitting.. then it would be on the news and on BBC etc etc
so those websites with that news on are clearly FAKING IT! its false news!
all SE fans will agree with me.
Nokia fans will deny it because they know theyv faked the news…
yeah see jdflasher tutorial. link is on right side of this website on the sidebar links 😉
oh, i see. thx again akshay. i’ll try it as soon as i understand its tutorial. and plz don’t get mad if i ask you a lot of question then :). you’r the best
I live in Australia and have bought a K550i just yesterday. i was wondering would this be fine in australia and noting it is still sim locked the information of myphone is as follows(without SIM inserted)

EROM:R3A022

well this info is crap. not much
you use XS++ to find out CID.
if its 52 great. if its 53, then bad news i suppose.
will this work if i use the central Europe FS because at the moment my phone is on Europe 2??
Thnx
Adam
thnx thnx thnx alot bro man this worked perfect ur a legend thnx a whole heap im gonna spread the gud word man ur a god!!!!!!

HOw do i no if my fone version is under CID53???
i think its R6BC002
it doesnt say anything like CID52
do u have any idea wen the new XS version wil come out for windows????
Klai !!!
sorry !! for late reply
just connect the phone to XS++ and it will show it in the side window.
thanks
is it absolutly neccesary to extract the FS????
do u have to back up the fone fs aswell??
thnks for all da help u gave me
hopefully i’ll be flashing quite soon 😀
after im confident enough.
:S

So many posts.
You don’t need to extract it, backup contacts with myphoneexplorer, menu icons an be done any time.
Hii akshay,

hi akshay i flashed my phone k550i/w610i succsesfuly but know when i try to use flash wallpappers i wont work can you help me please
@daaviid
hi!u need to add support for it to your phone…its desribed above!
Flash Menus:Inside the own_custpack folder create a new folder named flash
here exactly tpa/preset/system/desktop/
so that u hv own_custpack/tpa/preset/system/desktop/flash/**** .swf files here****
inside this ‘flash’ folder copy the swf files only
then open XS++ and upload the files using own_custpack method. That is the same way as you uploaded customization files.
Then Copy the .thm files as usually u do in file transfer mode when phone is woking in normal conditions.
thanks bhuvan it works know but when i flashed i didn’t put in the right language i want to put in a language can i just reflash the FS?
ya…you can!
thanks
i don’t need to reflash main and custpack then?
I would like my k550i to w610i, but i cudn’t do it. Wil u pls help me? you suggested that the EROM CID should be CID52, but mine is CID53,though OTP CID matches. Does it matters? Still, can I do it? Pls giv me a solution…..pls help me…
@daaviid
no…cuz language is part of fs only!
if still the things dont go way right…den you should go for flashing main!
@akhil.p.sivan
ya….you can do so…cuz this procedure only requires flashing of fs,main and custpack!which can be done through jd flasher which supports cid:53!
but you wont be able to patch it!
Hi Akshayy,
i weas browsing along the new site Se-Lifestyle and came across so many bricked k550i, do u no why it happend to them and will it happen to me.
they say one day suddenly it refuses to start and the IR flashes.
I followed ur rules 100%
p.s
the MENU.ML U putin ur esnips folder, will it work with any other icon pack???
@KillahK
look…if go on the way the tutorials are given…nothing will happen!
and even if ir flashes…you can repair it through se tool!
no!

THANK YOU THANK YOU THANK YOU THANK YOU THANK YOU!!!!!!!!!!!! I just have one question, why doesent the camera open when I open that thingi cover or what ever?

i need help to flash my k550i phone??? i have icq or just email me at [email protected] thx
@Adrian
so what should i mail u??
evrything is here!
Hey, I followed the instructions, but now it says when I power the phone it says “configuration error. Please contact your network operator or service centre.” I bought this as an unlocked phone for NA and used what you had in the tutorial, did I do something wrong? Thanks.
Please let me know if I need to flash back and then flash forward. Thanks.
I flashed to what you had above, but now when I power up my phone it says I need to contact the network manager or phone operator? Did I do something wrong? I have an unlocked K550i. Thanks.
hey, I need help, I flashed my phone, but when I power it on now, it says that there’s a network problem and I have to check with my administrator . . . . should I flash back to the k550 and flash again? I used the exact files above. The flashing worked, but when I turned it on, it had that strange message. Any help would be appreciated. [email protected]

Thanx for Your time,
GOD Bless.

No red light. Responds to XS++
No red light. It responds to XS++
Guys, please help me. Something wrong happened. My phone does turn on, but when I enter my pin code It shows that It has a Config problem and can’t turn on. While flashing i accidently hitted something whit updating:
EROM CID should be CID52. OTP CID should be 51 or 52 . ( Your Phone Must satisfy this condition for flashing )
This stuff from CID51 to CID52. Is there any way to convert it back to CID51?
@Vedzitux
no way of downgrading cid[erom]
2 the error is coming because you have’nt uploaded the cda files![custpack]
I fixed it. It’s awesome <3 I love it

@siddharth
u better post your query for once!
as your email says b cool!
and flashing do not get any hardware faults
its all related to software!
but remember…follow the tutorial the way it is given!
i asked bcoz service center guys check firmware if v report any problem… i read in tutorial that after flashing k550i to w610.. its always identified as w610.. i wanted to ask.. if i revert back to k550 main n k550 fs n an also cust packs… wat wil be my phone identified as..??
obviously, it will be identified as k550. lol
Dude… thanx.. finally i flashed my k550i.. thank yo very very much… one more question.. To instal flash menu.. yo hav given in tutorial to create folder named flash n copy required files.. my question s.. there wil be already a folder named tpa.. Do i have to delete that…??
@siddharth
na!no need….just do the way it is given here
This link s not working :
http://www.4shared.com/file/26090443/8773ee21/K550_R6BC002_MAIN_GENERIC_LI_RED52.html
It says “The file link that you requested is not valid.”
Plz fix it….
ok, here you go
http://www.esnips.com/doc/0f688889-9443-4319-806d-99a853712c40/W610_R6BC002_MAIN_GENERIC_NA_RED52
its w610’s .. i told yo dat k550i’s main file link s not working…
akshayy.. Dr s already a folder named ‘custom’ inside : own_custpack\tpa\preset
This custom folder contains files..
Should i delete ‘ custom’ folder before installing flash themes.. ???
Because those files are already flashed na… so wat should i do…???
its pretty easy to get it. i get files by google searching. you also please do the same. am sure its there some where on internet, some where i don’t know. but its there.
what files ?? delete if not needed. i don’t know what you are saying. that folder contains usually cda files.
after flashing main n fs… v need to instal cust packs na.. so we hav to create ‘own_custpack’.. and i also flashed cust packs.. Now dr wil be folder named custom inside ‘preset’… Do i hav to delete dat before proceeding to instal flash themes.?????.. custom folder contains itm files, one theme.
Inside custom folder dr are two XML files i.e customize.xml n preloaded_config.xml.. My question is: before proceeding for installing flash themes do i have to delete ‘custom’ folder…????
xs++ doesint pivk up my phone w200i i dont kno why
stupes tisk tisk
@sid
no
the two things are totally different
@jarel
what are you writing??
well then try on jd flasher and install usb flash drivers
how about cid-53
can u teach me how to flash to w610 with cid-53
hey bhuvan… can i install flash themes for my k550i@w610i by FSX method….??? IS it safe…??
hmm of course. check out the jdflasher tutorial. it covers the cid53.
akshayy, i know people have succeeded but i think i bricked my phone, the results was that it was uploading the main firmware and it froze at 40 out of 460….. i’m really sad cuz i spent all my savings on this phone…. is there anyway i can revive my phone?
I cannot turn it on anymore and i XS++ cannot recognise it! i really need help!
actually, XS++ can recognise it but i wanna know how to either, restore it back to normal, or make it a W610i. I also wanna know what the GDFS does…. cuz i really needa get this phone to work… i’ve worked 5 months for this phone and i juz got it….
actually, i re flashed it and i fixed the problem…. i just need to flash FS and Cust Pack but i don’t get the TPA thing, like after the basic tutorial, you mention that inside the TPA folder, there is a system folder but all I see is a bunch of files in the preset file… i need explanation because i dunno what to do and i cannot lose my phone again….
you just have to re-flash it again.
Lucas Lim.
You should upload customization.xml and preloaded_config.xml to tpa/preset/custom/** here **
Ok, so I followed this tutorial exactly. When I finished I started the phone and everything came up as the walkman, but it said “Emergency Calls Only” So I used XS++ to restore my backed up GDFS and it seams like it works now. Does anyone know if there will be any problems from running my phone like this? Thanks.
@ Spider
well u should not restore gdfs just like that
it help when it is damaged or your phone is bricked!
well…now when its working nothing is wrong
so, my phones’ finally werking again thanks akshayy:) but i have a few questions:
1) i try to use FARmanager to add files to it but i only reach the stage where you press FS instead of FLASH. after that, Far loads some stuff and then shows the inside of my phone’s FS like (TPA, and stuff) then when i click on IFS, the whole program (FARMANAGER) freezes and then i have to do it over again. Need help on this because i have like a faulty connection cable or my phone’s connection reciever is screwed up. i needa know how to fix this.
2) i’ve noticed that the battery life decreases after you flashed it and stuff, is it because it has flash menus or it’s juz my imagination because i have to recharge the phone every 3 days or so and i’ve juz bought this phone…. I don’t even talk much and i only listen to the music like for 10 mins per day….
Oh well, i’m pretty satisfied with my results but i wanna know how to fix the connection problem because i’ve brought an M2 card reader and battery charger so i’ve ditched the whole connection bit so far cuz it’s like , connected for 3 seconds, then disconnected, then connected and stuff. if there is a way to improve connection akshayy, please tell me
(PS. i’ve got the drivers installed and it works but i had to keep still for well over 3 mins without moving my hands while flashing the phone.
no battery life does not decrease..
i don’t know what connection problem you are talking about.
ok fine. thanks for all the help akshayy! i seriously thank you for making my phone pure awesomeness even though my faulty phone connection almost gave me a heart attack every time i tried to flash it 😛
Hey Akshay,
I flashed from K550i to W610 successfully. 3 cheers to you. But i have a problem.
Before flashing my computer used to detect (not in file transfer mode) my phone as Sony ericcson device and i used to perform actions using My Phone explorer.
After flashing to w610i, now as soon as i connect my comp says “Hardware found and goes to hardware installation window. I checked under device manager that some Sony modem drivers are required.
Help me please
@Ananth

Guys.. i want to ask something. i crossflash my k550 to w610 with FW R6CA001 Orange. Everything is just fine, but one problem is my activity button change become menu button. My question is, (-) is it like that or there is something wrong with my phone? I get the FW from SEUser. (-) if it is like that so where is the activity button?? It useless if there’s no activity button, i mean how do i get to the multitasking menu. Sory of my english ;), thanks in advance.
hi Akshayy,
Can I proceed to flash my k550i if the EROM CID = 51? In your tutorial you mentioned that EROM CID should be 52.
If it needs to be 52, how do I update EROM CID?
Hi again,
Pls ignore my question from previous post, I found how to do it from another of akshayy’s thread. Got my phone successfully flashed to W610! ^o^
Thanks Akshayy for this great tutorial!!
bambu_men

Daniel
playing with erom is dangerous!

Hi, I want to ask that:
What is the meaning of this line “Warning: IMEI name does not match GDFS name (IMEI:K550 GDFS:W610)”?
It appears when I connect my flashed K550@W610 phone to XS++ 3.1,
Does it affect the phone’s functionality or does it have anything to do with the phone?
Please reply quickly.
Thanks.
