Add/change language (Europe_2 -> Europe_3) on original w610i (CID53)

[dm7000s]

Hello,

I've bought an original ('non branded') w610i that has the EUROPE_2 languages in it. I would like to add/change it to the Dutch language (EUROPE_3). The SE update service didn't help me, it just installed the same languages/firmware it already had (R6BC002.. RED53). And there seem to be no options to select what region you want to install in the original SE software.

I tried XS++, but it doesn't seem to support CID53 phones (don't know if Se_Tool supports it, but that programm crashed on me so I can't use it anyway).

So here is what I would like to do: Replace the *original* EUROPE_2 firmware with a version of the *original* EUROPE_3 firmware. So only the language options would change.

I've found out that I need these at the least:

• W610_R6BC002_MAIN_GENERIC_NA_RED53
• W610_R6BC002_FS_EUROPE_3_RED53

And is there in my case any need for a custpack? The name seems to imply that it adds something "custom". I don't really need (added) custom things. Only the language needs to change.

What might be the safest/easiest way to get this firmware on a CID53 w610i? Will the phone become unusable if I don't use a custpack?

Thanks already!

I've already got it to work. I just used this topic: Flash K800 CID53 with K810 software CID53 (for begginers) - Top Sony Forums and followed steps 2 to 12 (with a DCU65 cable) and it worked.

For step 6 I used: W610_R6BC002_MAIN_GENERIC_NA_RED53
For step 7: W610_R6BC002_FS_EUROPE_3_RED53
And for step 8: HB1-06_Gen_CDA102568_12_R8A_GENERIC_EUROPE_3

Exact same firmware, exact same everything but with the Dutch language now :)
