XS++ flashing tutorial

[RLP06]

Ok, so theres been a lot of people asking how to flash with XS++, I see a lot of blog links and what not, and theres been demand for a tutorial as a post... I have screenshots of every step, so here goes.

DISCLAIMER: I TAKE NO RESPONSIBILITY FOR BRICKED/MESSED UP PHONES

!!!!Start off by turning off your phone, removing the battery and sticking it back in.

Step 1: Open up XS++ and press connect



Step 2: Hold C on your phone and connect the USB cable



Step 3: Press the GDFS button, and press Backup GDFS
THIS STEP IS VERY VERY IMPORTANT INCASE THINGS GO BAD



After it says Backup GDFS complete, unplug the phone, remove and reinsert the battery

Step 4: Repeat Steps 1 and 2

Step 5: Check flash main firmware and flash file system,
navigate to your MAIN firmware file and put it under the main box
naivgate to your FS firmware file and put it under the file system box
check customize firmware, select your phone model, and the region that matches the FS that you have downloaded



Step 5 alternative: IF YOU DO NOT FIND YOUR REGION/PHONE
- you MUST download a custpack file... usually a .zip
- extract this into XS++/own_custpack such that it is XS++/own_custpack/tpa/....
- select /own_custpack under phone model

Step 6: Hit Flash and wait for it to complete... it will tell you when you can disconnect the phone....

FIRMWARE FILES TO FOLLOW IN NEXT POST

These are all the firmwares I have collected, hope you find good use out of it, if you have firmwares I don't have, please contribute the FS/MAIN/Custpack, I'm mainly looking for HK firwmares I don't have...

Few other points:

1. If you are flashing DB2020 and XS++ asks you to upgrade to CID52, say yes
2. BACKUP YOUR CONTACTS/ANYTHING ELSE BEFORE DOING THIS, your entire phone will have no traces of you left on it

Thanks for the tutorial. I have a w580i and followed the instructions and it said the flash was successful. When I turned the phone on, I got this msg: "configuration error. Please contact network operator."

I'm not sure if I made a mistake on this instruction line:

extract this into XS++/own_custpack such that it is XS++/own_custpack/tpa/....

Can you elaborate further?


Thanks

OK, so if you download the XS++ I provided:

Extract that into a folder called XS++
then make a folder called own_custpack inside XS++ such that its C:/XS++/own_custpack/

Now, if you've downloaded one of the custpacks, you will see that inside the custpack, there is a folder called "tpa"
just put tpa in the folder called own_custpack

Now go back into XS++, connect your phone, and ONLY check the customize box, and check the phone model to own_custpack... you do not need to reflash the main or FS

Thank you for the exlanation. I was able resolve the error. I really appreciate you taking the time to respond. Thanks again.

Just another note: THIS WILL NOT WORK IF YOUR PHONE IS CID53

[bigb252]

WOW! I was just looking for this today...BUT

Which files do I download? It doesn't really matter what has what (unless one comes with more features over another)...

If I pick W810_CDA102494_5_HONG_KONG.zip, I would need
W810_R4DB005_FS_HONG_KONG_RED49.rar and
W810_R4EA031_MAIN_GENERIC_HN_RED49.rar ?

Yea, I'm totally lost...

You'd have to pick MAIN HONG KONG

All asian FS must be matched with asian MAIN

[murderbydeath]

thanks for this thread. you just saved my bricked k800i!

[bigb252]

Hey, this is 'sticky' material.

Ok, so I would just download

W810_CDA102494_5_HONG_KONG.zip and
W810_R4DB005_FS_HONG_KONG_RED49.rar ?

Also, would it matter what files I use? My phone is CID 49.

[bigb252]

ANYONE else know? The CDA102494_5_HONG_KONG.zip file only contains a folder that has a tpa folder in it? IS that right?

[RLP06]

You need

http://www.megaupload.com/?d=0LAOLNAI W810_CDA102494_5_HONG_KONG.zip
http://www.megaupload.com/?d=VIXIIDIV W810_R4DB005_FS_HONG_KONG_RED49.rar
http://www.megaupload.com/?d=8LNO28A8 W810_R4DB005_MAIN_HONG_KONG_HN_RED49.rar

Make sure the CID's match with where it says RED49, so CID49
You extract the FS, and put it where it says file system, and you extract main and put it where it says main...
.
Then you extract the CDA102494_5_HONG_KONG.zip into own_custpack, or you can simply just select W810 and region: HONG KONG in XS++, makes no diff

[bigb252]

I managed to find a W810_CDA102494_5_HONG_KONG.zip, one that had a .fbn file instead of the tpa folder.

I was a PITA to search around though - most links on websites are expired

But all in all, I managed to get 2 w810i's debranded. One had the WSoD issue. THANKS AGAIN!
