NEW: w810i Flash Files | LINKS ONLY!

(Click here to view the original thread with full colors/images)


Posted by: fungied.cheese

Ok, after so many tries..I believe I found the best set of drivers mixed with the firmware. But, because the other thread is so congested with crap, I've decided to make a new threat here. Keep this one CLEAN! ONLY POST LINKS HERE. QUESTIONS WILL BE IGNORED!!! Thank you.

So, here's whats included in this pack:


Firmware: R4DB005 (NOT the newest FW but better in terms of the hiss issue)
Region: The America_2 Firmware is provided, if you live in another region you'll need to the fine the FW elsewhere.
Custpack: None included, this is to avoid all the issue's that occured before due to confusion
Sound Driver: QWERTY v3, not his latest, but I find this set to be much better.
Camera Driver: Zuzu3, barely noticable difference, but it does exist in terms of quality of pics
Flash Desktop: A few new flash desktop theme files are here (YOU MUST HAVE YOUR PHONE UNBRANDED TO USE THIS)


The reason I've not included a custpack is because people may choose different regions and so on. So, simply find them at this link:
http://forums.se-nse.net/index.php?showtopic=6170
Also, you can use the custpack that comes with PhoneXS...just make sure the one you're using is an unbranded custpack (it'll say on the side, when you choose a new custpack something like: cust-pack (non-branded): yes) if it says "no" then DO NOT use that custpack.


For the firmware, I ONLY have the America_2 FW but you can use other versions as long as it coincides with the custpack..unfortunately www.topsony.com is down at the moment but you can try it when it's back up (shortly i believe).

For flash themes....REMEMBER, it's VERY important that your phone is unbranded first before you attempt to use it, else it will NOT work.

If you have questions regarding the flashing procedure and so on, post it on the other threats PLEASE. Let's keep this one clean and ONLY post useful links which we may find. In any case, here's my pack version 2:

Feel free to mirror.

Happy flashing =)

On another note, this might be of interest to MANY people. When it's been around an hour or so and your phone still hasn't gotten passed the bruteforcing stage waiting can be very annoying. What I've found is that if you turn off PhoneXS, unplug USB, take out battery for 20 seconds, and try flashing again it has a better chance of bruteforcing and is usually successful within 15 minutes. I dunno if it's just me, but this seems to be the case in ALL of my attempts, so if anyone else would give it a try to see how it works for them and report their success/failures and how many times they had to try this procedure (yea, sometimes you gotta do it more than once)

I can confirm this attempt, although I have only tried this once.
My phone was still bruteforcing for 3 hours so I closed phonexs, disconnected
the cable, took out the battery from the phone, waited 20 seconds, put it back, and tried it again. Within 18 minutes I am done flashing my phone.

I know many people here want to make another thread tutorial for PhoneXS and there are many already but failed to mentioned that this link http://forums.se-nse.net/index.php?showtopic=6170 does not have custom pak for America 2. You said you have to use America_2 FW to use and there's no such custom pak, hence more confusion. And topsony do have that custom pak but it's not complete. If you open up the .xml file it only has a few lines.

if you keep reading below though, you'll see there is a way to trick the Europoe_2 custpack into thinking that it's an America_2 custpack..i did it and it works without flaw for me. Essentially you need to replace the already existing section with <info> </info> with this:
Code:
<info> <pcr-registered>2006-02-06T04:18:00</pcr-registered> <pcr-created>2006-02-17T13:39:11</pcr-created> <created-by>13001004</created-by> <customization-pm>Helena Bolin</customization-pm> <pcr-id>36564</pcr-id> <pcr-revision>RA3</pcr-revision> <cda-number>CDA102430/105</cda-number> <cda-revision>R2A</cda-revision> <model>W810i</model> <country>Brazil</country> <operator>Generic</operator> <language-variant-name>AMERICA_2</language-variant-name> <allowed-language>ae</allowed-language> <allowed-language>pb</allowed-language> <allowed-language>xl</allowed-language> </info>


then just make sure you upload your own custpack when flashing (under model select "custom") and place ALL custpack files into the custom_pack folder

Ok thanks. Let me try that...but in the above code it says "Brazil" as country. Are you in Brazil and you just want to use America firmware? I don't know why no one made a custom pak for America (it's a big country you know with lots of people).

Woo-hoo! First post. Hahaha... Long time reader.

My question is this: There are numerous European custom packs, which one should I use? I have an W180i (US/Cingular).

Also, does the customize.xml have desktop_flash/shutter sound values in them?

you can replace the country string with any other country you want...it really doesnt even matter too much..only biggie is the language support

The phone switches on but just get a black screen with menu and call on it and nothing else i will try to flash again.

I was reading in the other threads there is a menu file cant remember what it was called but i dont think i have it and have tryed looking in all the packs i have downloaded but still no luck.


BTW im not new to modding as i have been doing it for year's on the
E398

no go for me. have tried 4 times now... after varying times (1.5 hours, 4 hours, 2 hours)... no go. i'm trying to fsx though... so perhaps the difference.

Heres a thought-

ASK YOUR QUESTIONS ON THE QUESTION THREAD

This one is intended for FLASH FILES ONLY. People coming here looking for the newest packs are deceived upon seeing new posts, thinking there is actually something new on here. Use the search function, because these are all questions that have been asked before.

And please, if a mod could clean this thread before it gets out of hand, it'd be appreciated

Got this from another forum. An updated original camdriver for the w810i (Clara Camera driver 5.5). Haven't tried it yet,though..

Posted by: fungied.cheese

just a bump, people seem to keep missing this thread -_-

if the mods could sticky some of the modding threads here? it'd be kinda helpful....



Posted by: haddyh

hey fungied, when anybody calls me i get a +1 then the phoen number im assuming thats becaus ei have the america_2 firmware on it. anyway to get rid of that its annoyign having to delete the +1 anytime osmoen calls me i gotaa manually or edit it before i call em back. so basically how do i get rid of that +1 for all us canadian users with rogers.



Posted by: intoksicated

bump...

important thread



Posted by: g3off

hey fungied.cheese...the link that you have in the first post shows this message
"Sorry, this file is no longer available. It may have been deleted by the uploader, or has expired."



Posted by: fluffyllama

Just a couple questions; The themes included in fungied's pack, some of them have no radio icon, and have replaced that with the camera icon which is now a timer? Either way, the timer icon makes the menu freeze. These themes are Active, Lava, and FemaleLine. Any fix for that?


Also, I noticed on TopSony they have a few themes, specifically

Active black Radio
Active Radio
Backstreet Rotary
Clublight
Deep Blue
Emerge Black
Fone1
Grouped
last
Lava Radio
walkmanbeam

Seems wth the ones marked "radio" they might have fixed the problem I mentioned. Anyone have a link to those?

Thanks
