update service: u have the latest update so i cant flash cid 52

there are three options here.
1. use wotan, sure it will cost a few bucks
2. use w610_R1JE001_RED51 firmware
3. i think se in ur country dont renew the firmware as in my country China
i know someone try this:
flash by using K550_R1JD001_FS_APAC_RED51,
& K550_R1JD001_MAIN_CHINA_LI_RED51,
& HB1-06_Gen_CDA102568_101_R8A_GENERIC_APAC
it has english interface after ur flashing
then try updata by update service
it should have new firmware this time.
then u can use ur own firmware to flash to w610.

9. reate a series of folders in the same folder as xs++.exe
\files_to_upload\tpa\preset\custom
put the unpack custom files in the folder "\custom"
10. again run xs++.exe, click "Connect".
hold "c" button on the phone and connect it to ur computer.
11. select "Customize File System".
12. select "Settings", select "BreakXS"
13. select "FSX", click "Start FSX".
14. a few minutes later, it will show the words in the left block
"++ FSX was successful
Disconnected... Unplug the phone"
15. unplug ur phone, take off ur battery, put on ur battery.

Hi, Great guide! I got k550 also and hoping to convert it to w610 as you did :)
I got few questions though:
1. Are these FS and MAIN files can work together?
W610_R6BC002_FS_S_ASIA_LEVAN_RED52
W610_R6BC002_MAIN_GENERIC_NA_RED52

2. Is the custpack that I need is this?
HB1-06_Gen_CDA102568_110_R8A_GENERIC_S_ASIA_LEVANor this:
HB1-06_Gen_CDA102568_5_R8A_GENERIC_S_ASIA_LEVAN(what's a difference?)

3. in the step 10 in your guide, you don't chose anywhere that custpack and w610 doesn't show on "Phone Models" scroll, so how does XS++ know which custpack to use? How to make sure that it uses the right one?

actually i'm new in flashing 2, so i'm not sure about first two questions.
1. compare among these 5 mian files
W610_R6BC002_MAIN_CHINA_NA_RED52 08-14-2007
W610_R6BC002_MAIN_GENERIC_NA_RED52 08-14-2007
W610_R6BC002_MAIN_HONG_KONG_NA_RED52 08-14-2007
W610_R6BC002_MAIN_ORANGE_NA_RED52 08-14-2007
W610_R6BC002_MAIN_TAIWAN_NA_RED52 08-14-2007
expect W610_R6BC002_MAIN_GENERIC_NA_RED52, other 4 dont
seem suit for u.
2. according to the names of these two custpack, the difference between
them is cda, different cda stands for different area. i think both of them
will work fine.

3. create a series of folders in the same folder as xs++.exe
\files_to_upload\tpa\preset\custom
put the unpack custom files in the folder "\custom"
as shown below

Hi!
This may have been answered already but I cant find it anywhere so...Will flashing the phone also unlock it from the network?
Thanks!

It was answered many times, but you mixing two different things here:
1. Unlocking - removing simlock to specific mobile network, the answer is no, it won't.
2. Debranding - removing branded to nework settings in the phone - yes it will.
Debrand - yes, unlock - no.
