Estimated time: 12-20 minutes.

First, sign up at www.topsony.com, you'll need resources from there.

Now go here
http://www.topsony.com/foro/cmps_index.php...e=info_lenguaje
and find out which Package corresponds to your Language.

In this tutorial i will flash a K750 to a W800 R1BC EU_4, patch the firmware to be able to listen to radio without headset, and "finalize" with the finalization-patch (**NOTE:Finalization-patch is unnecessary since XS++ can breakin!).

So first head over to www.topsony.com and download the W800 firmware;
W800_R1BC002_MAIN_EU_EMEA.rar <-- This is the main-flash.
W800_R1BC002_FS_EU4.rar <-- This is the FS (File-system)-flash.

Download your files and extract them.

Now you'll need to download the GSlide from here.
You'll also need the finalization-patch from here. Mine is w800_r1bc002_change_custom_folder.zip (**NOTE:Finalization-patch is unnecessary since XS++ can breakin!).
In this tutorial I'll also apply the radio-patch, available at www.topsony.com.
You'll also need XS++

Now, extract and open GSlide.



So here we have to prepare the main-flash:
1. Click the "..." and choose the main-flash that you downloaded.
2. Click add patches and add the finalization-patch (for your firmware (**NOTE:Finalization-patch is unnecessary since XS++ can breakin!)) and any additional patches you'd like.
3. Now select the output file, this will be your new main-flash. (i.e "mainflash.bin")
4. Click process and wait and hopefully you'll get to:
5. "Done."

Addition
Now the main-flash is done. Remember where you saved it.
Now over to the file-system-flash:
1. Click the "..." again and this time choose your file-system flash.
2. Do not add any patches here this time.
3. Select an output-file so that you know where you've put it. (i.e "filesystem.bin")
4. Click process and wait and again you'll hopefully get
5. "Done."

(**NOTE:This part is unnecessary since XS++ can breakin! Jump to flashing-procedure)
Now you need to access the memory-stick-card. This can either be done through a card-reader or trough plugging the phone in with the cable, while the phone is on.
When the card pops up, goto the root directory and create a folder called custom, like "X:\custom\".
Now go either to topsony or here and download the custom-pack corresponding to your firmware and "Package" (From the beginning remember? Mine: EU_4).



Now extract the custom-pack ("pack.zip\tpa\preset\custom") into your newly created folder ("X:\custom\") and then proceed to flashing.



Now download and unrar XS++
Connect your phone properly.
Click main-flash, choose the file you got from GSlide. (in my case "mainflash.bin")
Click file-system and choose the file you also got from GSlide. (in my case "filesystem.bin")
Click finalize and choose the model of the phone you are flashing to and the CDA gathered earlier.
Make sure everything looks like in the picture and click flash.

Done!

Any additions are welcome!

WOW !!

Just wonderful

My respect

Regards

That's nice, jagheterfredrik! ;]

thanks very much but how can we get the original firmware back and anyone else has tried it pls

Is there a change-custom-folder patch for K750 cuz I can't find one

Flash it using K750 firmware or run it through SEUS.


http://forums.se-nse.net/index.php?showtopic=6378, as said in the tutorial.

Thanks

i did exactly like u said.. and now when i open my phone it says ... "configuration error. please contact your network operator or service centre " and i can`t do nottin to pass this thing... what should i do : ((

What phone are you using? What patches? Did you make a custom folder on your card? And copied the files from your custpack?

this Filesystem is CID36. can flash for CID49 K750 ?

CID49 W800 filesystem are not available so you have to slide them, though if you're flashing K750 you could use the CID49-filesystem.

hey guys
ive jus flashed w800i main using phonexs.
i had previously a r1db001
i wanted to rollback to r1ca021 using phonexs
but even after 14-16 hrs it wasnt done


so my question is how much time will this take
as much as phonexs??or lesser
thanks

to jagheterfredrik
can i flash my k750i(cid 49) by use your Tutorial

i want use W800_R1BC002_MAIN_EU_EMEA.rar and W800_R1BC002_FS_EMEA1.rar

its be ok??

People tend to not read the first line of the first post:



That's exactly what the tutorial shows isn't it ? = Yes
Afaik noone tried sliding the Filesystem, please try, it should work.

If I Slide The Filesystem " W800_R1BC002_FS_EMEA1", What customization files should i use ? the w800 ones ? do i need to change the customization.xml ?

@Fredrik

how much time does the whole procedure take.....i mean right from patching the phone with gslide and then flashing firmware with phoneXS? cause i read somwhere that it may take upto 5 hrs to flash a cid49 k750i with phoneXS

Basicly it took me 5 mins tops to flash the w800 firmware onto my phone , i didnt touch the fs or customize the phone , if u just want to have the walkman feature just flash the main "IT Will take u less than 5 mins ! "


*Also on a side note if you are just adding patches to your current k750i firmware using gslide u only have to flash the main , like i said above less than 5 mins*

Hi is it possible k800i finalization-patch?

use the customization files for W800 R1BC002 EMEA1.


12-20 minutes. GSlide do not patch the phone. It patches the firmware.


Yes, but GSlide doesn't support K800 (DB2020). And you wouldn't be able to flash because there is no loader for DB2020 that can flash this type of modified firmwares.

Right Just thought id Post to Say that ive flashed my Firmware/Filesystem Within 10 mins ! thanks to fred for showing me the way ! ,These are the 3 files i used
"W800_R1BC002_MAIN_EU_EMEA.bin" /"W800_R1BC002_FS_EMEA1.bin" /W800i_CDA102430_1_EMEA_1.zip

I Sent Both The patches Through Gslide , Added the Change Cust Folder Patch "w800_r1bc002_change_custom_folder.vkp" to main firmware then transfered the customize folder accross to my memstick !

Then Flashed the Main/ Filesystem With the 2 gslide files ! Thanks for the help

*Also fred could you add to your guide that u need to send the filesystem through gslide ? !

does this process not require finalising ? or am i dreaming so ?

No Because you apply the patch so that the customize folder gets moved to memstick/custom "you send the cust pack to this folder before u flash the filesystem ! That means no finalising

This is everything handsome, but I do thinkthat the isn't support for W800i FS CID49 and is only W800i MAIN CID49 ????
If am well understood, so adjust only MAIN+stale mate and FS will use original what am withdrew with TOP SONY, for me support EMEA 2???? A another inquiry please.
I was trying use stale mate for reducing writing and capers me any message about error. I used GSlide in1.2, v1.3, v1.4, and always same problem. Advise st. to me what about it shall I do. Thank you and I wish to all handsome Christmas

Welll tbh if there isnt support for the w800 filesystem on the 49 , Why the hell is my phone thinking its a w800 with the filesystem flashed ?

A could it be me reveal of what version FS are used, from where are her withdrew ???
Please and much cheers.
Otherwise patch me already work.

at phone xs it sais ... "finishing flash" .... and i dont` know what 2 do now... is the phone ready ? or i have 2 wait more ? ... please help coz i really need my phone fast

After implementing all this stuff with this patch: w800_r1bc002_change_custom_folder.zip -could I change later FS(delete/upload files) with Phone XC/XS without brute-forcing?
...or maybe only customizing need brute-forcing? Do I understand correctly?

after phone xs it sais ... "finishing flash" .... i turn on my phone and phone xs flash only Main Firmware
dont flash FS
I have only English menu
its possible to have another language??

but what should i do ? it says "finishing flash" .. it is the phone flashed ? or i have to let it like this more ? because it has already passed almost half an hour ... (

Why don't flash FS?
Did you read all tutorial carefully? Are you sure?

;((( It's not possible to flash FS It displays "Failed" and nothing happens

Is there any way to put other language to my k750i (changed to w800i)?

Hello everyone,

I am patching these using gslide 1.4 and got an error "Waring! There was not enough space for all the data!" Anyone knows what I am missing? My phone is w810i. Thank you very much for helping.

Hi, TNT. I don't have a solution for your problem, sorry. On the contrary, I need something from you. Do you have the R4EA031 FS file? Sorry, just wondering!

If you do have it, I could flash my phone and maybe recreate the problem...

~Ibrahim~

@zuzu_zuzu

it is finished

Hi

I have a problem

I use W800_R1BC002_FS_AMERICA2 and W800i_CDA102430_105_AMERICA_2 but i have only English menu what is my problem? my phone is a K750

Thanx

I m from Mexico

You need to select a bigger header file, click header and choose the largest one

i'm from germany, and after the flash on my display stands:
Configuration error. please contact your network operator or service centre?

What I make wrong?

You have to send the FS through gslide for it to work because mine did not flash until id sent it through gslide


Did you place the correct customizing files onto your memory card + add the patch to the main FW ???


Basicly All you have to do is just select FS not main , I think theres a bug in the loader or sumthing just select filesystem and click flash !

GSlide Main Flash: W800_R1BC002_MAIN_EU_EMEA.bin
with w800_r1bc002_change_custom_folder.vkp

W800i_CDA102425_5_EUROPE_5 on memory card: K:\custom\tpa\preset\custom

then flash with phonexc
mainflash: flash.bin from GSlide
and FS: W800_R1BC002_FS_EU5.bin

are this allright?

Nope Should be "K:\custom\*All files here *

thanks its works, but the menu is englisch and not german?
change the language?

yeh you should be able to change the language to german aslong as the cust pack allows you to , glad to see ur up and running anyway !

its only englisch to choice . . .
If I misunderstand you, please help me

Hey, fredrik, do I need to use this base for my W810i? 0x44140000? Or the one you already have in there?

~Ibrahim~

You don't have to set any base if you're not doing from a raw dump.

Yeah, I tried flashing it. Didn't work. Phone doesn't turn on... I didn't override the base, though. I just used the one you had in there...

I'm going back to the regular one tonight..

~Ibrahim~

Here it is. It has 3 different languages in there.

W810_R4ED001_FS_AMERICA_2_RED49 - US English - Brazilian Portuguese - Latin American Spanish

Thanks,

TNT



Hi jagheterfredrik, no matter which file I selected, I always got the same error. Do you have any other sugestions? Thanks for helping.

Best Regards,

TNT

Which firmware ? APAC? Patches ?

Firmware: W810_R4EA031_MAIN_CHINA_HN_RED49.mbn
FS: W810_R4ED001_FS_APAC_RED49
Finalization patch: w810_r4ea031_change_custom_folder.vkp

Thank you very much for quick reply.

Sincerely,

TNT

The W810 APAC firmwares are the largest DB2010 flashes which means that they have the highest number of blocks. But if you apply a patch, you'll need a header with more blocks than there is in the original file. So I'll look around, but it will be hard to find i think.
