    Changing language packs

    Okay, total newbie here and I know next to nothing about doing stuff to my phone. I do know that I own a SE K810i that apparently has the Mediterranean language pack (English, Romanian, Greek, 2 others). Other than English, these are not much use. Basically, I want to replace those languages with the Europe 1 pack (R8 firmware) that has English, Spanish, French, and Portuguese on it: languages I actually speak, hehe. I have that file. What I need to know is, what is the easiest and safest way to replace the languages, and only the languages, on my phone? Please, please, please: step by step instructions and a list of the programs I'll need. I have Far and XS++ at the moment. I've also managed to get the Europe pack opened into RAW format so I can get at the language files.

    I've looked around and there doesn't seem to be anything related to the K810i. I could be wrong, though, so if I am a link to the proper thread is also appreciated.

    Thanks!

    Changing language is the same with all Sony Ericsson phones.

    Look on Language list:
    Top Sony - Languages Description

    So I guess you want EUROPE_1.
    You use XS++ to flash the MAIN EUROPE_1 and FS EUROPE_1, and then you flash the EUROPE_1 custom pack which contains he languages.

    Thanks, BadBoyTC!

    Is there any way to bypass the flashing and just upload a new custom pack? I checked the service menu and it said:

    Customization
    CDA102568/4 R8A
    cxc1250813 R8BA024
    MEDITERR

    So, can I just replace that with CDA102568/10 (Europe 1) and NOT flash the firmware?

    I only ask because I'm a bit nervous about flashing the whole thing because I don't want to make my brand new phone inoperable.

    Thanks!


    EDIT: As an aside, I have these three files:
    K810_R8BA024_MAIN_GENERIC_SM_RED52
    K810-R8BA024-FS-EUROPE-1-RED52
    HB1-06_Gen_CDA102568_10_R8A_GENERIC_EUROPE_1

    Are those only for flashing? Or can I simply replace MEDITERR languages with EUROPE_1 languages? Thanks!
