Hi Friends,

I have W810i & K750i, which i bought some year ago. When i went to the service menu and checked the software info. I got this details.

R4BD005

prgcxc 12503 16_Generi
c_HN RHDB005
EROM-R3A005

prgcxc 12504 16_EROM_
DB2010_HELEN_FOTA_FLAFLA_
SIBLEY

LCD SW

ASIA__Levan............ etc.....



I have used FAR manager to patch my K750 to increase the SMS memory and other stuffs. I had done this successfully with the K750.

However i am not able to understand that how can i got about this for W810i.


Someone please help me to provide the step by step, that how can i access my system for w810i using FAR manager and increase the SMS memory.

Most importantly, if you could provide me with the exact link and the name of the files which needs to downloaded to do this steps. For example, Firmware file and other stuffs. i have FAR manager, SEFP Plugin, XS++, USB Cable..


Please dear... Some please help me with this..

Thanks in Advance.

Thanks for a great guide

Got flash menus on my w810i now
And I managed to find a .fnb for Europe_4, so I've also got Swedish T9 now which is something I've been after for quite a while.



All I want now is to get rid of the orange backlight on the keypad..

HowTo customize your w810 without bruteforcing

DISCLAIMER: I am not responsible for your actions. Use at own risk. This cán damage your phone.

BTW: This trick also works for SE w300 & z550 phones, but of course use other MAIN-fw files.
If you do it right, your settings/contacts, pictures won't get lost.
Remember, don't flash your filesystem (FS or .fbn), as it will overwrite your whole file system.

Context

First of all, a little story about how the phone works and some explaining terms:
Your phone's memory consists of (relevantly) two area's: FLASH and FS:

• FLASH houses the MAIN firmware area. This is where XS++ flashes the MAIN firmware (.mbn file) to.
  
• The MAIN fw is the piece of software where all software(i.e. walkman, camera, menus) is coded.
  This is hard to edit, though through patching MAIN firmware some minor things can be changed.
  FS stands for file system. Here are the files which the MAIN firmware uses (drivers for camera, sound, display etc.).

For W810i phones, you can currently only edit the FS part. Editing the files in the file system (FS) is possible in two ways: using XS++'s FSX function (a), or with FAR(b):

• XS++ is an easy program where you can flash the MAIN and FS areas. The FSX function enables you to copy files to the file system, though for CID49 phones this involves bruteforce,which takes a lot of time. So there's another way to copy files to the file system WITHOUT bruteforce:
  
• FAR is a program where you can manage files. SEFP is a plugin for FAR, enabling you to manage files on your Sony Ericcson phone. Recently, den_po wrote a new version of SEFP that enables you to enter the FS of a CID49 phone, though with a workaround: First you need to flash your MAIN with a fake MAIN fw, a breakloader (to get easy access to the filesystem without bruteforcing). Now you can enter the file system using FAR & SEFP and edit the files you want. Finally you need to flash your MAIN back with a real MAIN fw (because the breakloader is still loaded in your MAIN area).

Now you know how to replace certain files (for example: camera driver) in your file system. But when you want to ged rid of EVERYTHING, like the vodafone/tmobile icons/links etc, you need to unbrand your phone. This is pretty risky, and you might lose support from your provider, when they find out you unbranded your phone illegally. Unbranding is flashing your phone with original firmware from sony ericcson (not edited by vodafone/tmobile). When you unbrand, you need to flash the MAIN area (with a MAIN fw, a .mbn file) and the FS area (with a FS fw, a .fbn file). Important: After flashing the FS, you always need to customize the file system, or else you will get a Configuration Error. Customizing is like intializing the FS. Basically it's only copying some customization files to a certain place in the file system (tpa/preset/custom). You can do this in two ways:

• with XS++ by putting a check at Customize file system (note that this involves bruteforce!), or
  
• by manually upload the customization files using the FAR + SEFP method. See below for detailed instructions on how to unbrand.

This tutorial explains step-by-step how to use FAR + SEFP to edit the files in your phone's file system. So now you know the context.

Premeasures:

• install USB Flash drivers (by installing SEUS for example)
  
• install FAR-manager 1.70 here
  
• extract the SEFP plugin (first SEFP v01004, then SEFP v010051 over it) to the plugin folder (C:\Program Files\Far\Plugins normally)
  
• Extract den_po's CID49 pack db2010cid49_4_alpha.rar.zip to FAR\plugins
  
• Get XS++ and a proper MAIN firmware(use same version as your FS !), download here:
  -download the latest XS++ here
  Firmwares can be found here:
  - topic: Files Upload Thread
  - archive: http://xsse.4shared.com/ pass = se-nse
  - site: WWW.IPROTEBE.CZ
  - else check the Stickies in the Firmware & Flasing subforum here on SE-NSE...
  
  
• Remove your SIM-card and memorystick, just in case..
  
  Flash break-in loader:
  
• Open XS++, connect, ONLY flash your MAIN with w810_p3k_dcu.49R.ssw (located in CID49 package).
  
  
  
  This is a break loader. If you flash this into your phone, your phone cannot be turned on anymore because it's not a real firmware, but only a workaround intended to access the filesystem without bruteforce (using den_po's CID49 pack for the SEFP plugin for FAR-manager). It's only 5 flash blocks, should not take more than 30secs. Just choose STOP if it hangs on 100%.
  
• Remove your battery for 5secs and after that put it back in.
  
  Customizing with FAR+SEFP:
  
• Open FARmanager, and press F11
  
• Choose SEFP plugin
  • If you get the error: "Unknown exception", Exception address: 0x7C812A5B...... The plugin will be Unloaded!
    This is a bug. It's because you don't have any COM-ports, so create a fake COM-port connection. I did it with my BT Dongle. Alternatively, here is a mini howto create a fake COM-port by Cold & Flu Relief.
    
  • if you get the error: "<BIldr> can be used with Service Cable ONLY".... browse to the SEFP folder and patch sefp.dll with sefp0.10.0.51patch.exe.
    
  • if you still get any errors, and just want a working phone back, skip this part and proceed at step 16.
  
  
• Opening SEFP:
  
  
  
  
  choose Bootscript: w300_w810_z550_cid49 and press Enter The Matrix.
  After a while you'll be in the w810i, if not, try again, check settings above.
  
• Choose /FS/, now you'll can customize everything you want; camdriver/ audiodriver/ etc.
  See below for some tips, or check out Links.
  
• When done, Go back to root (choose '..' all the time) until FAR asks to exit CSFS loader, choose yes.
  
• Exit FAR-manager
  
• Disconnect cable and remove your battery for 5secs.
  
  Flash real MAIN:
  
• Now go back to XS++ and connect your w810i.
  
• Now only flash your real MAIN file (i.e. W810_R4EA031_MAIN_GENERIC_HN_RED49.mbn, 344 flash blocks).
  Don't check Customize File System! This will only take about 2 minutes.

If all went right, you're done, you have customized your w810i WITHOUT bruteforce!

extra: Unbranding your phone (getting rid of tmobile crap, enabling flash menu's etc)

• Backup your files (contacts, settings, sms)
  
• Download a FS (.fbn) file too (from topic: Topsony Files, or http://xsse.4shared.com/ pass = se-nse). Choose your own region, of course.
  
• Also download a custompack (the customization files) for your own region. This must be compatible with your FS region.
  You can find them in the Custompack Library topic or also in http://xsse.4shared.com/ pass = se-nse.
  
• Follow the tutorial above.
  
• After step 7 in XS++, also flash your filesystem with the FS file (.fbn). Don't check Customize File System!
  
• When you've entered your phone with FAR at step 13, browse to /tpa/preset/custom and copy all contents of your custompack in here, including subfolders. If you don't do this, you *WILL* get a configuration error. Make sure that customize.xml is copied, as this file is needed to finalize your phone.
  
• Proceed with the tutorial above. Remember, do not flash your FS again, you'll lose the customization.

Hi

Thanks for an excellent tutorial.

I successfully changed my w810i menus but it stil has the vodafone live feature in the internet. how do i completely remove every trace of vodafone live?

Thanks for the guide. I was successful in breaking into the FS directory and changing things around. The only point where I was getting stuck at was getting into the FS after I connected to Far Manager. I had to continue to hold down the "C" key on my phone then clicking on the FS folder. After that you can release the key.

This guide worked fine for me on my W300 phone. I used the W300i_R9A036_MAIN_GENERIC_JE_RED49 main firmware to restore the phone.

Cheers

Its the .swf file, then you copy the theme across normally (ie via phone mode or file transfer mode) and set the theme: result should be that you see a flash menu

[SumyTheSlayer]

thank you... It worked perfectly...

Did you upload a custom pack, too? You need all 3: main, FS, and custom pack.

~Ibrahim~

[Boysie]

Ibrahim, if he hadn't uploaded custpack, there would be no 'Please wait' message.

Nicnac, try another custpack and/or flash again.

Really? I thought it if got stuck on "Please Wait", that meant no custom pack? I guess not. Configuration error, I guess then, is the only way of knowing if you did not upload one at all?

Thanks for the info!

[nicnac]

i did upload the custom pack, i was using xs++, tried flashin it again stil gets stuck at please wait. the progress bar moves a little and then stops

Did you try a different custom pack?

~Ibrahim~

P.S. What about using FAR+SEFP? Can you try pasting the custom pack that way to tpa/preset/custom?

[nicnac]

i tried a dif custom pack with no success.I used far & sefp all went well but it still hangs on please wait. Any suggestions? or does this mean the phone is dead?
