Converting my k550 to w610...

[Genis101]

Is it worth it to convert my k550 to w610? I heard it's possible but im not sure how. Can anyone help? What are the differences (in detail please)? Exactly what do i need to download? Thanks.

well the main differences and advantages are that w610 has walkman 2 (megabass) and flashlite support (flash menus) and the sound is much better...
i heard there only one bug when flashing to w610 and it is that lens cover is not working so you must open camera by pressing camera button or from menu..

to convert it you need MAIN firmware and FS from w610 and customization files which can be found here in download area or just use google...

if you have more questions ask...

Thanks so much. Just a question, do you think it's worth it? Does the cyber-shot logo and things of that sort still show up or is it then substituted for everything walkman? And could you give me a link maybe to the download on this site where i could download the filmware? Thanks again.

You don't know what you're talking about! Stop B/S people!
I've flashed mine and couple of others from topsony did and it works just fine!

For me it's definitely worth it, flash menus are great and sound is super! (I use Walkman a lot).
The only downside is the camera cover that is not active, but you get used to it and I hope there will be a patch to fix it soon :)
After you're 1 month old on forum and 20 posts, you'll be able to download all you need from download section/firmware/w610 and custpach/w610.

Thanks. What is this i keep hearing about the camera problems though? The camera quality and photodj dont change right? All that happens is that when pulling down the lens cover the camera doesnt automatically start anymore right?

No difference in camera performance that I've noticed...

I never used photoDJ, so I can't tell, but as I said, nothing different about camera since turning k550 to w610.

Yes, and pushing the camera button will start camera even if the cover is closed, but I think it was in k550 firmware as well.

Don't warry, if you do everything right, you'll be able to roll back to k550 anytime you wish to, if you will not like the way w610 firmware is.

I think it's no possible because I have never heard about that nowhere.

With the firmware of W610i, you will have less frame for the photos.
