You can upgrade via SEUS, but this only updates your firmware if were realesed some fixes for your firmware or you could upgrade via xs++ to newer version of firmware.

Download K818 Firmware MAIN and FS
And flash with XS++

You need main file, filesystem and custom pack. You can all download here ( you must search ).

4shared

You should look that both files main and filesystem are the same firmware version ( you have now R1JC002 ) and that custom file is the same like filesystem ( America_2 in your case ).

Nice day

So if i go on 4shared and i see K790_R6BC002_FS_AMERICA_2_RED52.rar would that work for me? would that be a upgrade of firmware

You can take this!
You need a MAIN and then you have a upgraded K790a
But you can to K818 and you have PhotoFix and TrackID

[jasmin_1]

But if you upgrade your k790 to k818 you might not get any network.

Nice day

[jafferman]

so now i got K790_R6BC002_FS_AMERICA_2_RED52 and K790_R6BC002_MAIN_GENERIC_RED52 what do i do from here? would those two work/

[jasmin_1]

Yes, but don`t forget to customize your phone ( finalize ).You need a custom file, too.

Nice day

search for something like k790 CDA102568 _ 107 GENERIC AMERICA_2

full list of CDA's here http://www.topsony.c...p?page=CDA_K790

this it needs to match the FS you downloaded (IE America 2)

why would you flash to 818? what improvements?

(I only see china FW and FS any way)

I was just curious if anyone had success flashing a K790a to a K818c. I know, I know... I am still using a old unmodified K790a! Been a while since I looked into modding it and I'm just hoping it can do some new tricks by now.
