Flash K750c (chinese) to W800 (also chinese)

hi to everyone...
i have been looking around for a while and i read so many threads in your beautiful forum, but i didnt find my case...

my phone is a K750c CID 36 bought in china a few years ago.

lately it got crazy a bit, once per day i have to restart it coz ringtone, wallpaper and several other thing disappear...

so i decided to try to refresh its firmware with a brand new one =)

i tried the sony update but doesnt work, it doesnt even recognize my phone...

i made a master reset... but nothing changed
so im here for the big step... hehe

i wanna flash it to make it w800 (of coz still chinese version)
and i read somewhere there's some patch to make the w800 flight mode more functional, such use also videos and games... is possible? :a018:

i already downloaded:
W800_R1BC002_MAIN_CHINA_CA_RED36
W800_R1BC002_FS_CHINESE_RED36

right files or wrong?

thanks!!!:a004

Yes, these files are right, but you can flash a newer version:
W800_R1N035_MAIN_CHINA_CA_RED36
W800_R1N035_FS_APAC_1_RED36 and custom file
W800i_CDA102430_101_R3A_Generic_APAC_1

ok, thanks! i downloaded
W800_R1N035_MAIN_CHINA_CA_RED36
W800_R1N035_FS_APAC_1_RED36...
W800i_CDA102430_101_R3A_Generic_APAC_1
this one is for chinese version or is generic for any version? (as is wrote... hehe)

how about the super flight mode?
and another thing... i have a chinese phone and im writing in english but im italian
and i always had to handle sms with english T9 or without T9...
there's a way to add italian T9 (no need phone language) keeping chinese? (and possibly also english)

^^ thanks

add italian language is very simple, just download w800 R1N035 FS EUROPE_5, then extract FS files, than you can take it.lng and it.t9 from extracted files(tpa/preset/system/language)

than use FAR, put it.lng and it.t9 to you phone language folder(same: tpa/preset/system/language), add word it in allowed_language.txt

then add <allowed-language>it</allowed-language> into costmize.xml(folder: tpa/preset/custom)

then disconnect phone, start and you can use italian(phone language and write language)

my god, so easy? i lived 4 years without italian t9... and it was so easy?
hehe, i should ask it a long ago...

anyway, i should do that after flashing to w800?
and there will be no problem about "memory" or so on, if i add something without remove anything?

i read the guide [TUTORIAL] Flashing K750 to W800 in Style - Top Sony Forums
i guess i should follow this, or there's any more fit guide?
i downloaded K750toW800.rar from rapidshare...
RapidShare: 1-CLICK Web hosting - Easy Filehosting

coz at 4shared.com - free file sharing and storage i cant find that “K750toW800-Romil”....

but my computer (with avast antivirus) says XS++ (in that rar file) is a trojan....

Don't worry, it's not a trojan; just disable temporarily Avast and download again.
You should read part 2) Backing up GDFS and part 3) Flashing the firmware of this tutorial:
http://www.topsony.com/forum/phone-x...html#post60438.

@liudreak, you should do also step 4 of the tutorial:
4) you will then need to delete the lng.lst and lng.dat files that are also in the tpa/preset/system/language directory. (the phone should rewrite these with the new languages when you restart it)

links about
SEMC USB Flash Driver (32-Bit And 64-Bit)
XS++ v3.1(Darwin)
are broken.. cant download from there..
and another thing, i have windows 7 64bit here... can i do all this on win 7 64?
or better use xp 32? ^^

edit:
i had the original sony driver installed already and
i downloaed xs++ v3.1 but when backing up the GDFS it give me an error and it stops... i tried a few times...

You said your phone is CID36.
Connect again and post the identify log from XS 3.1!
XS++ 3.2 is a beta(leaked) version. It can brick your phone.

i checked my phone before with another software... anyway my phone is 05W43
and even xs++ says is cid36

xs++ 3.2 can destroy my phone also making backup only? (it still works... im safe so far)

this is xs++ 3.1 complete result (i tried 4 times, always the same)
(it asks me to press C and to connect, then it says i have to disconnect the phone and wait for instructions, then.. "Open the battery-cover and reinsert the battery." but i never removed the battery, coz it didnt ask me... so i just plug the usb in.. again..:a006)

You must first convert your CID from BROWN to RED:
