Flashing K530i to W660i possible

[vlax]

I recently bought K530i. I found out that it is very similar to W660i so I was wondering if I could flash it then? So is the flashing K530i to W660i possible and if it is, will I need some additional drivers? Thanks in advance.

you can flash it ;) I has no bugs or something esle ;) you don't need another drivers, but w880's acoustic are better ;)

do u mean to say you know w880's frimware works on k530i ?

[yener90]

no he means that he should put acoustic driver of w880. w880 sound is much louder.

@depeha what about the keylight if you play music? does it work?

Yener90 & Depeha, what exactly do you mean by "better". Did you find better bass, treble, depth, clarity or what (louder need not necessarily be better, right?)? And did you try that on k530i? If you did, did you see any change in battery consumption? With the same hardware SE's specs show W660's battery life to be 3hrs less than K530's.


Thanks.

Yes the K530i can be flashed without problems to W660i. I have done so.

The W660i firmware has Flash themes, which may account for higher energy consumption and slowing down menu reaction in certain cases.
