vitaliy325, yours is not CID 52. For the W810, it's either 49 or 50.

Downloads - W810 - Top Sony Forums

vitaliy325, use XS++ to find which CID ur mob is... don't use the right, * and left buttons of ur mobile..

1. Install the USB drivers.. (u can easily find them in d forum)
2. Switch off ur mobile. then take the battery out and then re-insert it.
3. Open the XS++ software.
4. Click on Connect button in XS++
5. Press and Hold down the C button of ur mobile and connect the USB cable to ur mobile... (Keep the C button held down while u insert the USB cable)
6. As soon as ur mobile is detected, the XS++ will show u details of ur mobile including ur CID version.

Hi guys,
I have unfortunately used SE-Update Service, just shortly before I read this thread. :(:mad:
Now my K800 has a CID53. What the f***!

Now a big question:

Can I "downgrade" the firmware, from CID53 to CID52 or something older?

Thank you guys.

You can't downgrade CID.
You have to wait untill CID53 is hacked.
