Thumbs up Flashing your w810i? LOOK HERE!

Ok, I noticed MANY people want to flash their w810i to get rid of the hissing noise and make the volume of calls, ringtone and earpiece louder. Unfortunately most people don't know where to put what file and so on. SO, I decided to simply upload the files in the proper places. All you have to do is simply download the rar file, extract it to a folder and run PhoneXS.

What's Included:

-The W810i_CDA102494_2_EUROPE_2 customization pack (modified to work with America 2)
-W810_R4DB005_FS_AMERICA_2_RED49 flash file (not newest firmware, but the better one, removes hiss completely)
-W810_R4DB005_MAIN_GENERIC_HN_CID49 main file (not newest firmware, but the better one, removes hiss completely)
-Latest Qwerty's acoustics file (has MegaBass working)
-Zuzu 3 Camera driver (better picture quality?)


These are the basic files needed to flash the w810i (minus the camera driver, that's just a bonus :P)


If you want your own custpack look here: http://forums.se-nse.net/index.php?showtopic=6170

Instructions on how to flash: http://forums.se-nse.net/index.php?showtopic=6118

Want new background for the media player? Look here: http://www.topsony.com/foro/local_links.php?catid=428
(extract these files too: files_to_upload\tpa\system\multimedia\mp)

These menu's WORK, but they appear smaller on the w810i (don't recommend): http://www.topsony.com/foro/local_links.php?catid=120
(extract too: files_to_upload\tpa\preset\system\menu)


Finally, here's the link to the download of the Flash files:
http://www.sharebigfile.com/file/47...hfiles.rar.html

These files also work on the k750 and SHOULD work on the w800 (REMEMBER TO CHANGE THE FIRMWARE AND CUSTPACKS FILES VERY IMPORTANT!!)

Any questions feel free to ask =)

Happy flashing

Thanks for putting it all in one area!

Some more custom packs

Make sure to shut off the shutter sound and enable flash menus on ALL custom packs. To do this, open up customize.xml (a file in the custom pack folder) with Notepad. Near the end, there is line that says enable_flash_desktop. Replace the word 'false' with the word 'true'. Do the same for suppress_shutter_sound.

P.S. Those are his Final Final version, right? The sound drivers? These?

Im using the v2.1 acoustic drivers, overall, im in love, however, the only drawback is background noise during playback and volume for headphones and speaker is too high for me. Others' experience with these? How does the final compare?

Also, PhoneXS 2.10 Alpha 5 (apparently no changes for the w810i) http://forums.se-nse.net/index.php?showtopic=6467#

Finally. Cam drivers. I went over to e-sato boards to investigate some on this topic. Wow, I am TOTALLY lost. ZUZU? Supercam? Hybrid? I don't know where to go on this one. Any experience with these drivers? Sugjestions?

Ok guys, here's what I've realised...putting in new menu and media player icons REALLY messes up the phones flash capabilities. It works fine for a while but right after it becomes really messed up and flash becomes disabled completely. So i DONT recommend using them at all....I'm in the process of reflashing my phone cause of this

hmm, so you said it messed up when you used the media player and the flash menus, right?

So would it mess up if you you use JUST the new mediaplayers? Or do we still not know for sure yet? And also, is the cam driver proven to work?

1) it does mess up when you upload JUST the mediaplayer icons as well

2) i get better quality with the cam driver, but saving takes a bit longer...well worth it in my opinion

Is it normal for the flashing procedure to display
22:14:33| binary sending loaders\CID49_RED_25.LDR
22:14:33| Header

for more than 10+ minutes?

Sorry for being such a n00b!

Thanks! So right now i'm using the Hongkong FS + main Firmware. If I want to customize it as well, do I need to make my own customization file or can I use the one provided in the first post?

Thanks for the great help, this is a cool phone btw!!

Another note, I don't think this phone is capable of displaying other asian characters on it except chinese right? Since there is a chinese firmware. I tries playing some songs in Japanese, but the titles show up as boxes.
