I don't think theres a difference in the firmware between Red and Brown. I think it's just a different EROM? Correct me if I'm wrong. But if there is a difference, the firmware will most likely be RED, since the majority of us have RED phones.

PS. How in the world do people get their hands on brown phones anyway?

hey mine was supposed to be a red one but when i gave the phoneto SC for flashing bcoz of WSOD the guy made it Brown


plz help me, how to know whether the flash files are for red or brown phones

[naith_kk]

isn't red or brown affecting another section of the firmware? As far as I understand, FS and MAIN binaries do not make a difference whether your phone is red or brown... try looking into EROM or GDFS to change your phone into RED or BROWN... hopefully there's files to support your phone.

The firmware available on Topsony for W550 is RED. You can convert your brown phone to red.

And once again: Do NOT flash W550i with XS++, it's not supported!

Why not? If I'm not misstaken, it's CID36 or CID49, both are supported by latest version! (it's XS++_1.6.8 which supports even CID51 and CID52).
Don't answer people if you're not sure!!!

you need to search the forum for "how to" turn brown to red, and only after that do the firmware upgrade.
I did it with CID36 phone and I'm sure by now it can be done with CID49 too.

I AM sure about that. XS++ supports CID 36,49,51 and 52 but it's NOT working with W550i. I wouldn't post such information if I wasn't sure about it.

Red firmware is better
