Right, so I have k800i, with the k810i firmware which I did from a while back with the whole k800i@k810 thing, not sure what CID or whatever it is though, what can I use that look that up?

I've also been reading up on some of the new stuff that has been happening since I last changed menu icons. This Simple Advanced MainMenu (SAMM) seems interesting. If I was to get this onto my phone how would I go about it? Would I need to change the firmware once again or what?


Cheers.

First connect your phone to XS++v3.1 or SETool2lite which will give all the relevant info (if it says "Not supported" then its CID53 and you'll need to use FAR + JDFlasher).
Second, in order to use SAMM which is an elf btw, you'll need to patch with an elfpack. IF you have CID53 then patching is just a little bit more complicated, hopefully you won't.

Connect to one of the programs I mentioned and post a log...

Alright I'll connect it all up tomorrow and post up a log. But I'm sure positive it was a CID52, because I don't recall anything about CID53.

This patching with an elfpack thing for using SAMM, is an elfpack a pack with elfs? I'm lost there. Or is it something different, lol.

ElfPack is a patch that enables a new filetype on your phone: .elf

There's the log there.

So what's the next step must I do to install this elfpack?

Find an elfpack patch for K800 R8BA and also a library for the same FW . Patch those files then with SETool2Lite/JDFlasher and you're good to go

My advice would be if you still want k810 FW then stick with R8BA and flash K810 elfpack and lib otherwise flash K800 R8BF FW, elfpack and lib. You'll also need a dyn_const.bin. Both Lib and dyn I can provide up-to-date for k800 (K800 dyn_const will also work on k810 and visa-versa).

I also suggest reading the Elfpack topic (altho its very large!!), this will guide you on setting up the correct folder structure which is necessary. There are various elfpacks including the normal 'Elfpack v1.0' and also 'Tartes mod' version (currant v1.9.2 rev42) which has more features and is the most popular among elf users.

The thing with elfs is they are great fun to use and can enhance an A1 phone immensly (to the envy of A2 users!!), but can also give problems with reboots which is why the library must be kept up-to-date.

First step though is enabling patching...

Hope this helps.

I do enjoy my W595 though Boysie

Sure you do mate, but there are many A2 owners waiting for elfpack!

I've been trying to look for setool2lite with horrible luck. All of them have virus/trojans.

Could anyone upload it here?

Thanks.

Disable you av. It doesn't have a virus. Trust me.

The_laser encrypted SETool2Lite with special methods to prevent others from stealing loaders from it . Most AV's pick up these methods as virusses, but they're not

Alright I have just a had read of that thread Applying Patches.

Not sure do what to do, I have to re-download my phones firmware, then the setool2lite, generates a .vkp which is specifically for that firmware?

Just follow this closely...
http://forums.se-nse.net/index.php?showtopic=20984

It says to drag and drop my main firmware into the box, this is saying that I have to re-download my firmware?

Yes. You need to download your main from somewhere like seusers.

When I make the backup of my GDFS, do I select k810? Or k800?

I don't think it matters much. The GDFS area is the same on both models, but select k810 just to be safe seeing as you're using K810 fw.

I dragged my main firmware onto the qamaker.exe, but it says "can't find data", what's wrong with the firmware, I downloaded it from the provided link.

Are you sure you're dragging mbn file onto it?

It's a .fbn file.

K810_R8BA024_FS_CENT_EUROPE_RED52.fbn

No thats your file system. You need main!

Oh woops.

Found this one: K810_R8BA024_MAIN_GENERIC_SM_RED52

Would I be able to use this one? Or does it have to be CENT_EUROPE

Thats fine.

Alright, another problem has arised.

I did all that patching stuff, but as it was patching, my PC got a BSOD and I had to restart the PC.

Now, my phone won't turn on...any ideas?

Can the phone be recognised??

Yeah it can. I've made a backup of the GDFS if that can be used somehow.

Phew! Start again and reflash it. Well done for backing up the GDFS, but don't worry about that now. Reflashing that is a last resort.

I'd be worried about the BSOD tho. What caused that? It might happen again.

Yeah, phew indeed! Just go through the flashing process again? Sure, I'll give it a shot.

Yes. Just tick 'bypass db2020 security', enter main and qapatch vkp in appropriate boxes and flash.

It says something about patch values differ, do I press continue?

*EDIT* I pressed continue, and then I get the BSOD again!! Oh dear...what can I do?

NO!!!! Have you flashed the main? because it looks like the qapatch is still on the phone.

EDIT: Before you do anything else, fix the computer, otherwise its gonna kill your phone.

Ok, so uhmm what can I do?

*EDIT* There isn't anything wrong with my PC, it's only happening in SETool, the bit where it patches.

There obviously is otherwise SETool would not crash it. Its not safe to use that computer imo.

You could try downloading another SETool from somewhere.

Do you think it's got to do with Vista? I'll try it on my XP PC.

Hmm, worth a try.

Alright, uhmm how would I get the Usb Flash Drivers to install, when I have no turning on phone and if that box comes up again to continue or not, I press yes or no?

See my signature (say no)

Well, I just did everything again, click no when it asked to continue. And still, my phone will not turn on.

Flash the main: that will get it working again

If the phone can be detected then installing drivers shouldn't be a problem.

Do a full flash first then do the patching procedure and you won't get the mismatch.

Flash the main? How do I go about doing that?

Sorry for all these questions, I really don't know what's going on. And I'm capped at the moment, can't really view the other topics.

Oops connection probs.

Enter K810_R8BA024_MAIN_GENERIC_SM_RED52 into the main box of setool2lite then click flash (make sure that the phone model is for your phone FIRST)

Just tried that, it says:

loader startup: executed
wrong response, break.
loader fs startup failed, that is fatal
Elapsed: 197 secs.

Would I have to select my exact phone type, K800? And add the K810 firmware?

Yes.

Tried it, I still get the same thing. :S

Can you post the log please.

Don't worry! I did it with XS++! And it worked! Omg! Alright, shall I retry what I was doing before?

Yes. Do patching procedure with SETool2lite with reliable pc.
