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...topic=15779&hl=
It includes everything, from flashing to patching .
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

Well can you connect your phone to XS++?

[WizaJ]

First off all it's not inf/settings/camera but ifs/settings/camera 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 ! Just ask if you're having trouble

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 )

Look in the XS++ part of mine, or Wally's guide

[Wally_Dog]

Don't forget a GDFS backuup

[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
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
I created a GDFS backup and I've put it back on my phone, but it still doesn't start Is my phone still ok or did I broke my phone

[MisterToine]

Nobody who can answer that?

[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

[WizaJ]

Then you do it Wally
