I need some help with my new K800i - CID53

[wakish]

Phone details:
Bought from UK: - branded to Tesco Mobile
Phone type: Sony Ericsson K800i - CID 53
Service Provider is LOCKED
1) This means I should flash it only?

I have handy the following:
- a guide I found here: Flash K800 CID53 with K810 software CID53 (for begginers) - Top Sony Forums
- FAR package, XS++, SeTools
- Firmwares corresponding to my phone: MAIN + FS (R8BF003, Europe 2, RED53)

What I lack:
- custpack
(related details: K800i_CDA102511_183_R2A_GENERIC_EUROPE_2)
2.1) Can someone provide me with this file? I could not find it anywhere on google or 4shared.
2.2) Or is there a way to generate this file?


I tried the following:
As per the guide I mentioned above, when I arrived till the first part, I had 3options:
- babe flash..
- raw flash..
- and a 3rd option which i can't remember right now

3.1) I could not select or change these options either by mouse or keyboard. What's wrong here?
3.2) What option should be chosen?

4) The guide above obviously lack a lot of precise details, is there any other full guide or can you just quickly give me a hint of the details not actually found in the guide?

I hope someone(s) can help please.
Thanks for your time,

custpacks can be found in the download section of TopSony, did you look there?

I believe only FarManager/Jdflasher is the only option for flashing CID53, the tutorial you have should work fine. I've seen another somewhere without the screen shots that I've followed which worked too, but can't find the link.

You need to select "babe" when flashing MAIN and FS.

OK found it JDflasher Flashing/Debrading/Customization Tutorial/Guide | Sony Ericsson Flashing

UPDATED:

=> I have just tried to flash it, but I have a problem.
1) I have not been able to flash the MAIN, see the screenshots below:



I cannot seem to make any choice, whether be it babe image or the others and even the 'flash it' is disabled. I have also tried to rename the file extension to *.mbn, but no progress.
ANy help please?

NOTE:
=> But i have been able to flash the FS and the Custpack. It was fine, when I started my phone, the language changed, it said be patient, then it says "insert correct sim" (in french)

Please can anyone help me with the MAIN flash part?
Thanks!

Does XS++ work for K800i CID53 ?

Does XS++ work for K800i CID53 ?

No XS++ doesn't support CID53 for now,only jdlasher (and try to delete complete jdflasher from computer and than unpack it again,maybe this work)
