MisterToine
Hey guys,

I recently found this site and it looked really interesting modding my cellphone. I have a sony ericsson W810i and I would like to mod it. Do you have any recommendations for my W810i? What I should get e.g. camera drivers, audio drivers etc. And how I should do it (because I'm a real newbie in modding etc).

Thnx in advance!
Corman
A very good tutorial on ho to mod is Wally_Dog's :
http://forums.se-nse.net/index.php?showtopic=15779&hl=
It includes everything, from flashing to patching smile.gif.
I, on my W810, use Samrad 6.0 for camera and my own acoustic mix (TVH v8 mixed with Signature_Boy's Xclusive Pack).
MisterToine
Thnx for the fast response!
I'll take a look on that. And I have another question: I looked on the forum and I saw that you have to place some files in inf/settings/camera. Can I ask where it is located?

EDIT: I also tried to use the USB flash driver found on the forum here, but when I do that, it installs himself without getting that New Hardware found thingy
McLaren F1
Well can you connect your phone to XS++?
WizaJ
First off all it's not inf/settings/camera but ifs/settings/camera smile.gif This is the location of the camera driver (camdriver0.dat) although most people use the move drivers to other/drv patch (Ask about this later, when you've got the hang of it)
And the ifs/settings/camera is a special directory that is in your FS (File System) but cannot be veiwed on the phone. You need to break into your FS using XS++'s FSX feature or FAR+SEFP/JD Flasher. Some people, with the ElfPack patch, use the FileManager elf, which is a special app that allows you to access the FS while the phone is on. I made a guide on how to access your FS if you are CID 49 RED, that can be found here
Welcome to the modding world! Have fun with your sonyericsson.gif! Just ask if you're having trouble smile.gif
MisterToine
Thnx Wizaj, As you said, if you are CID 49 RED. How do I know what CID I have?
Corman
Connect in XS++, then it'll let you see you EROM CID. If it's 49, happy patching, if it shows 50, no patching (yet )
WizaJ
Look in the XS++ part of mine, or Wally's guide
Wally_Dog
Don't forget a GDFS backuup lol.gif
MisterToine
I tried to do your tutorial wizaj, many thanks for that, but when I plug in the phone with the cable, I don't see any wizard of windows =/ Also, If windows says that there is new hardware found, it says that windows installed it. Any help on this?

EDIT: I can connect to XS++ and I have CID 49 RED partyhat.gif
I downloaded the USBFlash thingy from the site wizaj gave in the tutorial, but when I want to change it to that USBFlash thing, it says it is nog digital. What can I do now? =/
MisterToine
Anybody has an idea?
WizaJ
If you've managed to connect XS++ that means the USB Flash Drivers are installed. Proceed to the next steps in the guides
MisterToine
Ok, It worked for a part, Except for leaving that matrix thing =/
So I shut down CDFS loader, and I exit FAR. refresh phone, connect to FAR
Then when I go to FLASH. I get an error. I can't post it now, but I click OK. And then I don't see any map in the FLASH map. Thnx wizaj for all your help! If only I could find this thing =/
WizaJ
Make sure you have selected the correct boot script for the phone. These sometimes get messed up by accident, either that, or your cable isn't connected securely enough. Are you using the files in my guide? (how_to_customise_CID49.rar)
MisterToine
Yes I did. And now I have another problem. My phone doesn't start when I hit the start button on my phone sad.gif
I created a GDFS backup and I've put it back on my phone, but it still doesn't start sad.gif Is my phone still ok or did I broke my phone sad.gif
MisterToine
Nobody who can answer that? sad.gif
MisterToine
This is the error I get when I hit FLASH:

WizaJ
What firmware are you using? You probably flashed the FAKE MAIN correctly, but the REST file is incompatible, I just helped out someone who did the exact same thing today.
You'll have to completely flash the phone. MAIN & FS, preferably to R4EA031, as that's the only one i have the REST for. Download the firmware & FS from here and then read the guides on flashing & firmware
If you want me to tell you what files to use, post up your XS++ complete profile, it can be found in the log
Wally_Dog
You can always make a REST file out of R4EK001... fairly easy tongue.gif
WizaJ
Then you do it Wally tongue.gif
MisterToine
Aha! wizaj I'm downloading it right now. (not all, just those things I need. All firmwares for W810i and all the flash files and the original layout and menu things. I don't see any GDFS file for the W810i, or any language files, or media player files or scripts.) I don't download the tools because I already downloaded the one I need for your tutorial (unless you advise me to download another one wink.gif) So for MAIN and FS I better use R4EA031.
Thnx wizaj and sorry for my bad English (I'm Dutch, you see smile.gif) If I need other files from that torrent that I don't mentioned here, please say it smile.gif
Thanks again!
WizaJ
Don't mention it! smile.gif Your English is quite good for a foreigner, to be honest, I couldn't tell. When flashing, don't forget your customization. If you choose the wrong one, you might lose the original languages that you need

\W-Phones\w810i\Firmwares\R4EA031\MAIN\W810_R4EA031_MAIN_GENERIC_HN_RED49.rar
are the MAIN & FS most commonly used, I don't know what you'll prefer though. DO NOT use any other GDFS apart from yours, scripts won't be necessary at this time and if by media player files, you mean media player skins, the 176x220 are universal smile.gif And you don't need any other tools apart from XS++ wink.gif
MisterToine
Sometimes XS++ doesn't recognise my phone and somethimes when I'm flashing with XS++, I hear a Tum Tum from Windows saying that the hardware connected or disconnected. And then the flashing stops and it 'freezes'. Then I close XS++ and restart it, and then it doesn't recognise my phone anymore. sad.gif Any advise on that? =/

WizaJ
I once experienced this because of a cable issue. Check that the cable is properly secured and that it's not constricted or coiled. Stretch it out, try installing it on another USB port. Refresh your phone before re-attempting to connect (Remove battery for a few seconds and insert)
MisterToine
I've put my cable in another USB port, with no effect. I've also tried with refreshing my phone and looking at the cable, but no effect. I don't know why this isn't working for me sad.gif
EDIT: I could connect my phone to XS++ now and I'm flashing it. Hope it works! The flash main firmware is 344files and the FS firmware is 161. It freezes around 110/344 of the main firmware. And it just happened again at 149/344 sad.gif And I still can't start my phone sad.gif
WizaJ
What about the FastPort of your phone? Is it dirty? And is your battery charged? It really looks like theres a problem in the connection loop
MisterToine
The Fastport isn't dirty and before all of the modding with XS++ & FAR, the battery was about 83%. What could be my problem =/
MisterToine
Also, Doesn't the phone reloads the battery if you connect the phone to the computer via USB?
WizaJ
It does, but the battery drains when you're in FLASH mode
MisterToine

Ok, wizaj helped me a lot and now I have another problem. After a while (I didn't timed it yet) my PC says that the device has been disconnected. However, I did not moved my phone or touched it. It just disconnects. wizaj told me that Mr. T or Wally_Dog could help me. So with this: Mr. T or Wally_Dog, if you understand my problem, please help me rolleyes.gif (Or someone else tongue.gif )

Sure that the cable did not get loose? Might be a bad connector..

Yes I'm sure, I even tried with my sister her cable. And it doesn't work either blink.gif

Have you enable some "USB POWER SAVE" on your comp? Might be that.

Where can I find that? I've actually never heard of it shy.gif
Snowiffic
I don't know where it is too lol, but check in the power settings in your control panel.
MisterToine
I have found it! It's located here:
CODE
Start->Control Panel -> System -> Hardware -> Device Manager -> click on the USB Root Hub -> Right-click on it -> Properties -> Open the Power Management tab -> Clear the checkmark from Allow the computer to turn off this device to save power. -> Click OK -> do the same for the second USB Root Hub


I've done it on Vista because my phone wasn't installed there. I'll try it now!

EDIT: It didn't work on Vista. I'm trying on this pc now (running XP) Also, you might be correct Mr. T! Those boxes were selected. I hope it works now
MisterToine
Nope It doesn't work. The phone still disconnects after a while. sad.gif
Snowiffic
That's strange sad.gif
MisterToine
Could that be because of my battery is low? Also, I can't turn my phone on, so I don't know if I can reload my phone blink.gif

Try plugin' the charger in for 15min.

MisterToine
Or I might have the wrong USB Flash Device? I Don't know what driver I use. Can someone point me to the correct one for my w810i? Or do you think it's something else? I really want to use my phone again sad.gif
Snowiffic
Tried another comp?

Yep, I tried it with my laptop. It's running Windows Vista, but I get the same effect blink.gif
Snowiffic
That's very odd, ... It gotta be your cable... Does it get stuck at the SAME point EVERY time?
cchaos
Battery full? Ie 100% charged?

SIM and memory card out?

Tried taking out the battery for 30 seconds after flashing and closing XS++ after every attempt? XS++ wont find the phone if you read the GDFS for a backup, let alone flashing it.

If it hangs, just let it hang for a while. Chances are is that its doing something and it cant keep you up to date with what cos its busy doing something else, then something else etc until its done (this is particually true when uploading acoustics by the drag and drop, in fact vista says XS++ isnt responding)

Cant think of any other reason why it shouldnt work
karthikchalla
Okay since none of the methods provided here are working for you,you can try one more thing.


Download setool lite(search for it and read the tutorials) .

Select w810i under the phone type and select the w810i rest file(based on your firmware) under the restore file.

Then hit flash..

Normally this works but since you tried to reflash the main..i cant say for sure.

Anyway try it ,it might work for you.
Snowiffic
It won't work flashing the REST file, since he was reflasing the main and it failed, he need to reflash it fully. [Only Main though, FS is not needed.]
