Now, click FSX. In the FSX Tab, click BruteXS. Click the Flash Tab, and then “X” the Flash MAIN Firmware, Flash FS, and Customize. In the Flash MAIN Firmware, browse your computer for the MAIN file. Make sure you do not select the .rar file!!! Browse the same for the FS, again making sure you select the FS, not the .rar. Then look in the customize drop-down menu for the Custompack. Custompacks are solely related to the region you live in, and the language you speak. For example, I live in the US, so I choose AMERICA_2, which contains English and Portuguese Language. Check the CDA List at TopSony (link at end of guide) for which Custompack you choose. If the Custompack you need is not located within the drop-down menu, you can do this:

hey can you give me some more info on the files i have to select ...

i have the main firmware , but idk what the FS file is ... can you help me with that , also the custompack ... does that include customize.xml ... if so is there a way that i can add my own xml file , cause i found one that fits my phone perfectly , ( or could you post the direct download link to W810i_CDA102494_58_R14A_Cingular_Wireless_USA , its on top sony , but for some reason my internet wont let me downloaded it i keep getting a error )

also one last question ... if i do all of this will my phone be debranded ? , cause i really just want to customize it , i dont want to kill every cingular add on all at once ....



BTW - AMAZING guide ... best ive read so far ... needs a tiny bit more info in like 1 or 2 spots but thats just me ... very nice wally propz

[nairoby]

Wally can u give us a list of patches for w800i r1bc002 firmware? i wanna unlock my phone to all SIM card

PS: ( read my other post too plz)

W8ting answers

If you did not read the top part of my guide, I explained clearly, that this is for W810 users ONLY. I warned that you can mess up your phone by using my guide on a non-W810 phone. So, if you do not have a W810, do not use my guide.

[EDIT]

EchoFox: The FS does not matter much, just the content in the phone and languages. I suggest using AMERICA_1 if you speak English. And, the Customize.xml (the XML document in the custpack) can swapped with any Customize.xml... That's what I did =D And as soon as I get some free time, I'll post up the Cingular FS on MediaFire if you really want it, though I prefer Generic FS's... they're better.

thanks alot bro ... see i really like the generic FS better as well , but unfortunatly it doesnt work as well with cingular ... idk maybe im doing it wrong , but when i flash it with generic files it has features that are un accounted for ... such as the email , prefference / options , meda mall , so theres like three less icons and it looks weird ... plus editing the settings is alot harder ....

i found a cingular custpack ... and what im attempting to do is edit the xml file to allow for all the changes that i want but still keep the other options ..... ( advice on this is appreachated but if not ill figure it out )


can you tell me how i would go about ADDING , a splash screen startup screen and shutdown screen..... i know how to replace them but i want it to have multiple screens ...

i plan on editing the splash screen to be like my own screen , ( ill make it cool on photoshop or something ) ... then i want the normal cingular startup ... and then my own custom startup .... ( likewise for the shutdown )


any ideas ?



thanks alot man

Lol To tell you the truth, rather than steering you off into something I have no experience in, I have never done that. The only thing I have done was Change the Audio Acoustic (changed back though to default), Debranded, Patched, and added Flash Menus... seeing as I don't own a Service Cable, I have to be careful because DCU-60 can't backup EROM...

is it dangerous to flash and upload files with XS++ v2 if you cant back up the EROM ... like is it likely that you will currupt that ?

why did u cange the audio back to default btw ... was the other ones not worth it ?

[Wally_Dog]

XS++: Extremely unlikely you will damage the EROM. Only way it will be damaged is if you write a bad file to the GDFS, or you mess up patching values.

I switched back because the bass was too much

Hey Wally,

I was trying to backup the GDFS of my w810i, but while identifying my phone through SETool, it said "Restoration file not found".
I still tried to backup my GDFS, but the process failed and the fone went dead...had to flash the main firmware using XS++ to get it back to life.

What does this mean? What is this RESTORATION file and what is it used for? Where can i download REST files from and what should be done after downoading it?

==================

Hey...im sorry, that problem is solved now. it was my fault - was using SETools Lite.

Cheers.

Glad you fixed it =D You can also backup your GDFS through XS++ now... so you could do it that way alternatively. The REST file is the file that SETool flashes to enable your phone to work after a flash... I am pretty sure there is a tool (Main2RAW maybe?) And you can create a rest file using that. I am pretty sure that flashing the MAIN does the same effect as a REST file though... sorry I couldn't really answer the question, I've never ran into that problem.

And, the tool you should be using is SETool2 Lite...

[thilanka]

Nice guide Wally. Keep up the good work.

[arsenije]

I flashed my W810i, but I cannot use other SIM cards. May anyone help me?
It's something about MCN2 (NCK and NSCK codes). How can I findout or reset them?


Thanks alot Wlly for this topic

was the phone capable of other sim cards originally before you flashed it. if it was originally unlocked it should still be. maybe someone with more experience can comment.

my phone was locked to a network and i applied the patch > Remove_SIM_lock_R4EA031.VKP and unlocked it and can now be used with any sim card

make sure you read and follow Wallys tuutorial (backup your GDFS before you do anything) everything works perfect.

[mockrocker]

Is it okay if I use this guide on my EROM CID 49 RED W810i phone to upload flash menu in it?

Hey...
I succeded taking the gdfs backup and then flashed my 810..yippee...used XS++ 2.2.
there is one awesome tutorial floating in this forum itself...we dont even need far manager if we follow that.
The flash themes look awesome and work well, but i am still unable to apply flash wallpapers.

And Wally thanx for providing that info.

[Wally_Dog]

To apply flash wallpapers, you have to patch your phone with the Enable_Flash_Wallpaper.vkp patch (not sure if that's the exact name, look in the folder)

@mockrocker: EROM doesn't matter... as long as it is RED W810i

Thanks, maybe I'll give it a try though I'm a bit scared I might mess up my phone.
