So if you are already debranded and just want to upload new cam or audio drivers you don't need the MAIN or FS files?
Just zip the cam or aud drivers (with directory structure) and click flash?
It only flashes the files in that zip?
Will it erase everything else in that directory on the phone or just add to it?

it won't delete anything else, it will replace anything with same names as the files in the zip with those zipped files though.

Also added FAQ to guide

thanks stuckfugu! if i could kiss you, i would lol

Excellent guide! Installed modded cam drivers and enabled flash themes very easily on my W810i CID50! Many thanks again

edit - Anyone know if its possible to remove the MP3 ringtone lock by a simple script like used for the flash menus lock?

i'm afraid i have a problem now I think i have what is called the white screen of death?

i followed your instructiosn exactly stuckfugu, to the tee, I used W810_R4EA031_MAIN_GENERIC_HN_RED50.mbn from iprotebe.cz, and W810_R4ED001_FS_AMERICA_2_RED50.fbn from the link you provided. Added main first, then FS, then pressed flash, then connected the phone. looks like everything went fine, all the blocks were added.

then I downloaded the america_2 customization files from iprotebe.cz, zipped the tpa folder (made sure all the folders were correctly named). uploaded the zip file in misc, then pressed flash. and this is where i ran into the problem.

i thought maybe it was the battery was all drained, but when i try to charge it, the phone simply flashes a white screen. and when i try to turn it on, same thing.

any suggestions how to fix this? (or what I did wrong)?

i also backed up my gdfs with setool2lite before i did anything. anyone know what to do with the .bin file, and how to restore my old gdfs? Do i need to flash any new main/fs?

[vickmaker]

there is a set routine for doing this mate, so before you do anything check around the forums as there's an ever increasing list of users here who have broken there phones with no user error in setool2 lite.
i have definitely read this procedure somewhere, might've been in the full version of setool manual, which is here somewhere too, ( attached to one of my posts).
i have also read a users account of doing this also.
and have a rough idea how its done, but you best search around and get the exact way before you proceed.
we will now get to see just how well this gdfs backup feature works. or more to the point how we use it to get out of jail free.

also if i was you i would ONLY use v1.01 of that tool, as i accidentally opened version 1.07 or 1.08 to add a patch to my phone, and it did not respond as normal, resulting in me hitting the quit button right away and thanking the phone gods my cell was not bricked. reverting to the first version fixed this.

thx vickmaker, i'll do some searching

also, how would i be able to use 1.01? it doesn't have support for CID50 phones, only 1.07 and 1.0 do?

just an update to my probkem, got my phone working now

i reflashed JUST the FS with the orange_gen FS from iprotebe.cz that stuckfugu posted in the first post, and with the same america_2 customzation file pack from iprotebe.cz that I used when i flashed with the america_2 FS file, and now my phone is working

so just a caution to everyone out there, the america_2 FS file posted in the first post MAY not work with your phone (since it didn't work with mine for some reason, but it worked with stuckfugu's)

...not sure how to explain this, since me and stuckfugu both have roger phones, r4ea031 MAIN, and w810i CID50 phones...but then again i'm not phone savvy, and i'm just glad my phone is working now

big thanks to stuckfugu again, thank you very much for helping me with the problem!

Just a quick heads up, I used that same FS and Main on my Rogers W810i and it worked great. I've even added a few more hacks to the phone without problems.

One thing to keep in mind when doing other things (cam drivers, theme hacks) is make sure you have sufficient space on the phone. I tried a MacOSX Theme Pack and it errored on most of the files because I loaded up on the ring tones first. Luckily I canceled it, deleted a ring tone and did it again, works great.

i don't know about the rest of you, I've had a problem every time I try to download the W810_R4ED001_FS_AMERICA_2_RED50.fbn file from "mediafile" on my laptop, it hangs for over 5 minutes when the download gets to 99% before finally completing the download (which may be why it didn't work for me when I tried to flash it)

however, i managed to download with no problems on a friend's laptop, so maybe it's just my laptop (or maybe mediafile), so i've uploaded it onto rapidshare (which never gives me problems) in case any of you are experiencing the same problem. it can be found here:

http://rapidshare.com/files/53012315/W810_...ICA_2_RED50.fbn

EDIT: I have successfully flashed my phone with the america_2 FS file using the version I downloaded on my friend's laptop (so I guess that 5 min.+ hang during downloading must have screwed up the file when I downloaded it onto my laptop)

hey all
for all those of you who would like to have silent camera (which only works when you put your phone on "silent mode"), you can flash your phone with this customization file:

http://rapidshare.com/files/53044650/tpa_customize.zip

the folder directories are already set up, so once you download it, you can simply load it as is into setool2 lite in the misc area and hit flash

[Dr.Uberveguad]

thanks for the infos nitroblu.
Anyone here tried to put flashlite wallpapers ? I think it can be done under nkls' old (first) method.

[nitroblu]

i was just curious, maybe you know the answer to this stuckfugu (or anyone else):

i know at this point, setool2lite can't patch cid50 phones with .vkp files. is there any way around this? like for example (if it is possible), writing script in a .txt file for allowing faster fast forward/rewind in the walkman player, then loading it in the "misc" file area on setool2lite, and then clicking "write script"?

if it is possible does anyone know the proper scripts to use (or a source to where we can find this to make our own scripts)?

Yeah this would be cool... i also have a CID 50 w810i and i hate the fact that we aren't allowed to introduce .vkp patches in our fones... really hope a new SETool edition or something will give us the way around this.

As already said, up to now vkp Patches don't work, we have to wait until any Tool can read/write the CID50 FileSystem.
