Anyone updated k750i to w800i? (in delhi)

phamilyman · 4th October 2007, 11:24

Need experiences/gyan/benefits et al. Primarily concerned about:
- stability of fone.
- improvements?
- If it affects any ability to install other softwares, or future w800i firmwares?
- Is net browsing affected?

Please to enlighten.
Thanks in advance!

Completely OT I know, but just is the fastest way i know to gather info from delhi guys on this topic!

Do lock in a day or so once some guys turn up with their experiences!

Did it myself, courtesy Sony Ericsson K750i to W800i: Flash K750 (CID36and49) to W800

Very useful tutorial for all those with a k750! Thanks kp

Tried this on my phone and bricked it. The guide is not very good. The first thing you should do is backup your GDFS (which I did not do).

Got the phone fixed and tried again with another guide (and files that were already gslided). Worked a treat and have been using the new W800i for a few weeks. I also have a W810i and prefer the W800 as it has a lens cover etc.

I took the bricked phone to a chap to get fixed. He asked me how I managed to brick it. I told him I was converting it into a W800i. He could not stop laughing and gave me a lecture on how a man could not become a woman etc etc. In the end he could not fix the bricked phone.

Use the latest version of XS++ (V3.1 Darwin). I used part 1 of the following guide :

Tutorial | K750 And W800 Guide - SE-NSE Forums

The main and file system tars are already gslided. So if you have a red CID49 phone there is no need to convert anything. On one of the files the XS++ software will hang on 291 blocks. Leave it for a minute or so and then unplug it.

To backup the GDFS click on the GDFS selection and then click on the read GDFS button.
