how to patch k610i cid52?
Read here : Flash your phone and How to apply or remove patch using SETool 2 Lite - Top Sony Forums
always use search button before posting
Hi
I am reading here and there, ex.
http://www.topsony.com/forum/phone-x...ing-t6671.html
I understand that XS++ can do the same as SETool2 Lite, right?
But the main question is where do you take those Main Firmware and File System files to flash them to the telephone from?
And when you use a term patch, what exactly do you mean? Is there a list of patches for k610i with a description what they do? I 'only' want to remove a simlock.
And yet the third option, next to MAIN and FS, i.e. flashing customisations.
Who is writing them and what for? Is it that somebody creates something new, don't know what, a new menu? .... and then s/he wants to share it with other users and publishes this customisation as a patch?
It seems I am able to use these tools (managed to backup my GDFS and move EROM CID from 49 to 52 but I am stuck after that).
Thanks in advance for any clues
Only Setool can do patching.Quote:

Top Sony - Languages Description (for example, if you're german, you should choose K610_R1KG001_FS_EUROPE_2_RED52. Finally, you should choose a custom file according to the FS from downloads/custom files/K610(HB1-06_Generic_CDA102568_11_R4A_GENERIC_EUROPE_2).
Your second step is unlocking. Read sectionB. How to apply the generated patches to DB2020 CID52 phones of this tutorial:
http://www.topsony.com/forum/unlocki...html#post57483.
You can't personalize(patch) a DB2020 phone, then save firmware(like for Motorola phones).
Another perhaps stupid question then. Staying with German language as an example, would it be wrong to use:
K610_R1GB001_MAIN_GENERIC_TH_RED52 and K610_R1GB001_FS_EUROPE_2_RED52 instead of suggested R1KG001?
What are all these download categories within a particular CID?
R1GB001 is old (is buggy), R1KG001 is better and newer, haven't bugs.Quote:

All files seems to be showing 05-20-2008 in the browser.
Thanks
Date in topsony haven't nothing with release of the software!Quote:

They are alpabetically ordered.Quote:

Also, when staying with German language ... can one choose EUROPE_1 or EUROPE_2 or perhaps TMOB INT A?
They all seem supporting German. Or when you look at English, it is used everywhere.
Or would there be a problem if I wanted Russian and chose K610_R1KG001_FS_RUSSIA_RED52?
I am with UK 3, which BTW, in my opinion has nothing to do with K610_R1KG001_FS_HUTCH_1_RED52 as this one might be for Australia former 3, now Hutch. I thought first this might be my current FS.
But also I would like to have Polish, German and Dutch and TMOB INT A suits me the most from that perspective. Is there a problem using it even though I am pretty sure I am based on a different FS so far?
No, it's not a problem if you use K610_R1KG001_FS_T_MOB_INT_A_RED52, but you'll have a branded phone. If you want to debrand, too, you must use K610_R1KG001_FS_EUROPE_2_RED52(English - French - German - Sesotho - Zulu - Turkish). If you want dutch language too, you must use an older version k610_R1JG001_FS_EUROPE_3_RED52(English - Danish - Dutch - French - German). You can't have Polish, German and Dutch with "generic" firmware.Quote:

HB1-06_Gen_CDA102568_12_R8A_GENERIC_EUROPE_3 ?
If you want to, search around for "Converting K610/K618/V630, Z610 and K530 to W660. Full Guide!"
Right. I managed to apply:
A. using X++ 3.1 (I simply didn't know how to apply FS file with SETool2Lite1.11)
K610_R1KG001_MAIN_GENERIC_TH_RED52.mbn andB. next step using SETool2Lite1.11 I applied bypassing DB2020security
K610_R1KG001_FS_T_MOB_INT_A_RED52.fbn
K610_R1KG001_MAIN_GENERIC_TH_RED52.mbn andC. finally I applied using SETool2Lite1.11 with quick access option
quick_access_K610_R1KG001.vkp (from qamaker.exe)
Remove_SIM_lock_K610_R1KG001.vkp (generated with SIMLockPatchGen_v2.1)
All seemed like in the book. I had a failure at step B though, when writing 460 blocks (I made mistake plugging the telephone not the way it should be) but started all over from step A and then I went through all the procedures without problems.
Now, when I switch my mobile on, I get a choice:
Start phone
Normal
Flight mode
No matter if Normal or Flight mode, I get this message then and it hangs:
Configuration error. Please contact your network operator or service centre.
If I don't select any of those, I can get to Service Info (>*<<*<*) and all padlocks are open.
What's wrong? I have tried original SIM from 3 and from another network and no difference.
I have found for example Downloads > Custom Files > k610custpack
K610i_CDA102497_46_R24A_3_United_Kingdom
Do I need to apply it or anything similar? Or MAIN, FS files should be different at first?
Thanks
Unpack and Upload all the files of custom pack to tpa/preset/custom.... Using filesystem tool.... And thats it...
If you flashed K610_R1KG001_FS_T_MOB_INT_A_RED52.fbn, you must customize with K610i_CDA102497_13_R19A_T-Mobile_DE_Germany. Just put the ".zip" archive to "Misc Files" in Setool and hit "Flash".Quote:

Probably nothing to do with Far Manager (whatever this is) but I tried to stick to this thread: k610i problem patch. And after these last answers I have noticed there was another one, regarding W660. I thought about it earlier, before registering here but saw some problems people were describing (like solved illumination, though some posts were denying it, that it is not perfect). And somehow I decided to do it after you gave me on the plate these files names. So I did not flash missing K610i_CDA102497_13_R19A_T-Mobile_DE_Germany, but went straight into
W660_R8BB001_MAIN_GENERIC_FY_RED52
W660_R8BB001_FS_EUROPE_3_RED52 and custom file
HB1-06_Gen_CDA102568_12_R8A_GENERIC_EUROPE_3
and
Converting K610/K618/V630, Z610 and K530 to W660. Full Guide!.
So now this thread transforms to W660.
I have followed those instructions without problems (I did skip Sony Ericsson Update Service).
My telephone though is network locked now (Service Info>SIM lock).Other padlocks are open. I can use it with 3 (as it was originally)
I can see, K610_Pack_1.zip file contains few others patches (next to illumination one), one of them W660 R8BB001 Unlock.vkp
Will this unlock network padlock?
Also, do you have some comments, if I had purchased some music, i.e. dcf files on my k610i. It seems I cannot play them on w660i. Perhaps I need to re-download them on this 'new' model.
I have applied W660 R8BB001 Unlock.vkp and unlocked network padlock so now all padlocks are open.
I can now enjoy unlocked telephone plus as this is w660i it gives another joy of freshness, something new.
I have also enjoyed the whole excitement whether I am going to ruin this mobile or not, but this is just a spare one so I was not risking a lot.
Many thanks for all your help.
