Here's how to
A) flash CID49 DB2010/DB2020 phones with PhoneXS 2 (by gbrooks3 & hendrix)

If you only want to upload / delete some files:
B) Uploading & deleting files with PhoneXS 2

note: XS++ should be used instead of Phone XS (download from here)

First of all:
Important: It may take up to 5 hours!! to finalize your phone. / Once you have started the procedure there's no way back
So don't flash your phone, if you need it in the next few hours.

VERY IMPORTANT THINGS:



+ You can download PhoneXS here:
http://www.uploads.s...a61dca41b7e6b7d (2.10 Alpha3)



+ make sure that main firmware flash file & filesystem flash file & custpacks are available for your phone BEFORE you start flashing

+ After flashing a filesystem flash file, DON'T turn your phone on, until you have customized it

+ Always charge your battery to 100% before flashing

+ Remove SIM card & memorystick before flashing

+ If your phone is not recognized, remove battery & insert it again

+Use this tool with a DCU-60 cable (standard usb cable that came with your phone) or a service cable of your choice

+ Always use the latest USB drivers


Warning: Don't flash GSlide Firmwares to W810 - not possible at the moment!

a) Flashing with Phone XS 2

That really easy, we'll just need

a) Firmware main file
b) Filesystem file

Sources for these files:
Firmware main + filesystem:
http://www.topsony.c...?page=Firmwares


In this example we'll flash a K800 with firmware R1ED001 Generic and filesystem EUROPE_2.
So we'll head to topsony.com and download these 2 files:
K800_R1ED001_MAIN_GENERIC_WI_RED49.rar
K800_R1ED001_FS_EUROPE_2_RED49.rar

As these are .rar files, we have to extract them. That gives us:
K800_R1ED001_MAIN_GENERIC_WI.mbn
K800_R1ED001_FS_EUROPE_2.fbn


Now it's time to download & start Phone XS.

The first thing we have to do, is to select the cable we are using.
We'll use a USB DCU60 (standard usb cable) in this example, which means we have to select "USB" and press "Connect".

Now PhoneXS profiles our phone and outputs some information:


As we are going to flash our phone with MAIN and FS (filesystem) firmware, We activate "Flash Main", "Flash File System" and "Customize File System" and use K800_R1ED001_MAIN_GENERIC_WI.mbn as "Main Firmware" and K800_R1ED001_FS_EUROPE_2.fbn as "File System".
Because we are flashing a filesystem we also have to customize. To do that we select a compatible CDA. As we are flashing a EUROPE_2 filesystem, we use a EUROPE_2 custpack.


Finally click "Flash" and PhoneXS will do its magic.

Note: After clicking "Flash" it can take up to 5 hours to finish the procedure. If the programm hangs after a while, your phone is most likely low on power >> recharge it

That's all


b) Uploading & deleting files with PhoneXS 2


You don't want to flash a firmware, just do some file uploading?
Ok!
Then let's start.

After we have exctracted the tool, we'll have this folders:


The important folder is "files_to_upload". All files that are in this folder will be uploaded to the phone.

Let's say we want to upload a new menu.ml with some images to the phone. The location of these files on the phone is:
/tpa/preset/system/menu/

We'll have to create in "files_to_upload" a new folder called "tpa", in the folder "tpa" we create a new folder called "preset", and so on...

Finally we'll have the folder "\files_to_upload\tpa\preset\system\menu".
Into this folder we'll copy the new menu.ml and the images.

It will look like that:



To upload these files, we just start PhoneXS, connect and select "FSX" at the bottom to get to the upload menu & finally click "Start FSX".


PhoneXS will now upload our files in "files_to_upload" to the phone

+If you need the original files from the filesystem, you can use this tool (by darkmen) to extract FS flash files:

Nice work, I am sure someone will find this very usefull.

[spAik]

great tutorial. now i hope for a new k800i firmware (i.e. R1EG001) on topsony

[Vizzpv]

just a small peice of question to hendrix, the does the upload operation overwrite a already present file ? if not i think you should consider restructring the code so that delete is done first and upload next ..

[Lemming]

if the file already exists it will be auto-deleted before the upload

Cheers Lemming, was just about to post about the PhoneXC error, and you update your post before my very eyes!

Seems the executable was depending on a debug DLL...

[Lemming]

yeah, I forgot to switch my compiler to release mode

[Rekoil]

Thanks for releasing mate *pinned*
Would a K750 or W800 menu.ml work in a K610?
I'm guessing no?

Now all I need are some flashes

Hmm, I gues not. (I've never tried).
But converting a menu.ml is easy. Just take the original K750 menu.ml and the custom K750.ml and look what has been changed. Then use an original K800 menu.ml as a template and copy the changes from the costum K750.ml.

[Rekoil]

:/ I guess. I'll try that when I get time.

[afghanjohnny]

great job!

[dennis.l]

Thanks for taking the time to work it out and write the tutorial. This is great work.

got a question..
Is it the brute force hacking the phone that takes up to 5 hours or does the hacking only takes minutes and the flashing and file transfer take 5 hour?

[Rekoil]

Hmm, does anyone know where I would be able to find some K610im flashes?

[kouryuu]

Thanks!!!

its the brute force hacking that takes up to 5 hours, the file transfers are done in a few minutes

i only know topsony & it has r1cb & r1cf firmware for k610 but not the newer ones (r1ed & r1eg)

[Rekoil]

Not to mention R1EL, that one I've only seen on Kulan Kendi and that client cannot finalize. Hmm, if I was to somehow get finalization files for the K610im... could I then use Kulan Kendi to flash the main and FS and then finalize with the PhoneXS method?
I should be able to right?

Not sure mate, you'll have to wait for someone who knows more about PhoneXS to help you.
