K800i to w580i

[yooman]

It is possible to convert K800 to W850, but the joystick of the phone won't work anymore.

so you bassicaly cant control it... so its usless, but on the video it shows him controling the phone..

he (or she) is controlling the phone with myphoneexplorer or sth like that

first thing you need to do if you want your screen to work- you have to upload k800/k810 display driver, i think you can use this one


many people are working on converting k800 to wXXX
i know that there is some progress made on se-nse forum (they almoast made joystick work)

[Benyboy3]

im going to try that now, your first post and uve helped me loads, thanks for your help, i ll give it a try...

Okay ive done it, its a w850i, and the joystick sort of works, but most of the time goes mental, and the flash goes crazy, can the mem stick work, as the w850i uses pro duo and k800i uses m2, will it ever work??

i don't think so
if there is a lot hardware difference- it is impossible
but on se-nse (don't think i ma advertising them- i only "hang" there a lot) there is some progress being made turning k800 to w880- memory stick works, joystick doesn't, somoeone said that he almoast made camera work, another someone said that he may be able to make joystick work

i think (and hope:)) that the conversion will be possible in a few months

well w850 didnt really work, so i tried w880, but keypad dosent work, so i couldnt enter my pin whick had 3s in it so i couldnt even get onto the phone, also if you flash your phone to many times can it damage you phone??

like wear it out or something???

thanks in advance

i don't think so

but, for sakes cause, backup your gdfs (in case sth goes wrong)


you don't have to try any wXXX software, many people are working to make the crossflashing possible
and they tried every wXXX software on their k800/810
