Tutorial | How to Find Firmware Files Options

[steadyontherem8]

This tutorial will show you how to find a main, fs and custom pack without much difficulty.

Main and file system

Go to http://www.seusers.com

Click 'For English site click here'.

On the blue bar, click Downloads.

Click the Firmwares link.

Select your phone model.

Select the firmware version that you require.

Copy the name of the main into http://www.google.com

e.g. K810_R8BA024_MAIN_GENERIC_SM_RED52

Look through the links. Do not hesitate to click Translate this page.

If you do this press Ctrl + F, and copy the main name into the box and find.

If you can't find your main, go back to SE Users and see if another firmware has it. Alternatively, try http://topse.ru in Google Translate.

Or you could use http://iprotebe.cz and click English on the left side bar (scroll down a bit). You have to register for this site but it is still free.

Repeat this process for the File System.

Custom packs

Go to http://forums.se-nse.net/index.php?autocom...s&showcat=5

Choose your DB.

The custom pack has to match your fs. So find one which has user_ or your phone name in it with the name of your file system for DB2010.

e.g. EUROPE_2

If we had a EUROPE_2 one and it was for W810 for instance, then we could pick one such as W810i_CDA102494_2_EUROPE_2 or model_CDA102555_11_EUROPE_2.

For DB2020, we can do the same, except model_ is replaced by HB1-06.

For more information on custom packs, visit http://forums.se-nse.net/index.php?showtopic=29687 or you could PM me about this or any other firmware enquiries.

Thanks and happy firmware finding

EDIT: This might not be so easy now, topsony has added a feature where you have to log in to see even the names of the firmware, I hope they get rid of it again.

EDIT 2: You're going to have to use the SE Users Spanish forum - currently SE Users are doing work on their site, i'll guide you through it.

EDIT 3: You can now use SE Users English forum, just click Downloads instead. Not working for me though

EDIT4, thanks to KrX:

W580i and S500i firmwares can all be found here.

HB1-06 Custpacks (which work for all DB2020 phones) can all be found here.

Yes you can, but your languages might not be there.

You should, as much as you can, try to use the fs for your region. the MAIN should be GENERIC_LA.

In this tutorial I wonder why you just cant get the main and FS directly from topsony? as far as I know it's possible to get it from topsony

[KrX]

Many members here don't have an account there or don't have the required requirements to get the files.

Many members here don't have an account there or don't have the required requirements to get the files.

I just realised you only are able to get 10 files

[katrokndeso]

Oh what a nice tutorial!!
But, it should be more nice if you put the links (collect the links) that provide phone firmware!!
Thanks for this PINNED!!!

[steadyontherem8]

That's the thing, there aren't many anymore, share2flash is gone and some other sites as well.

[YagerX]

seuser is good

[steadyontherem8]

But it doesn't have free downloads all the time, still has restrictions.

[razvan_06]

you can find all types of firmwares on www.topse.ru ...use google translate to help you in navigating the site..because it's in russian...best regards

[Sn!p3r]

You know, you should edit that post. Instead of having them go to the Spanish version, it might just be easier to direct them to the English links. The site has a Spanish version and an English version, so it may be easier for some members to read. Love the thread though, helped me a bunch!

[svircheto]

OK,on the W610i firmwares there are alot.But how do I know which one to pick? I used sony ericsson update service and it told me that i have the latest software installed and that i don't need to update.So,i don't need a new firmware?Does this mean that i can't flash my phone?

[KrX]

No, it means that you cannot update it anymore - its the newest. But you can still flash to your current newest firmware using third-party tools.

You pick whichever ones you need. Tell us where you live, and your phone connection log with XS++.

Also tell us what firmware you want to flash to, if you're thinking of crossflashing.

[Iqueld]

How would I go about finding .ssw firmware files for use with setool2lt for making REST files?
