I guess it had to come, surprised its taken this long really...
any downsides to doing this?
is it just a matter of setting a W950 CDA into the M600?
Posted by maxchat
Details will later on SEMania.Com.M600 now shelters like W950
regards, Filip
Posted by masseur
can't you just say how you did it yourself?
Posted by vilde
I wonder what's with hush hush.
We salute you for making it happening, but it would be interesting to hear how you did it.
Too bad pdf+ and officepackage are not in the W950i sw.
Posted by Aware
So how does it handle an M2 card then??
Posted by maxchat
at present I am doing change modified
regards, Filip
Posted by anonymuser
Interesting, but (if true) there must be some problems... for instance:
Does the qwerty keyboard still work?
Does the M600 magically gain an FM radio, or does that app just fail/crash?
As someone else said, does it recognise the M2 card slot?
I can see this conversion having a few drawbacks, and not too many real plus points... (unless you really like the orange theme).
Posted by antichrist
...or the media player....
there are a few things to change, it shouldn't be so hard, and more than half a year, it's enough to make these changes:
-the change of the qwerty keypad to normal one
-remove the walkman buttons (2 on top of the keyboard and the side)
-recognition of memory card
-simply just delete the radio function from fw
i just hope this change will hit my phone soon
Posted by anonymuser
but that's literally it though isn't it? An uprated media player (not that there's too much missing from the M600's) and in return you lose quickoffice, pdf+, and more than likely gain a few bugs and glitches too...
Not convinced it's worth anyone's effort, to be honest. If it could magically activate the FM radio and 4 gb storage already hiding, dormant in the M600 then maybe, but assuming they're not there.. nah.

do you know what is strange? maxchat joined esato Oct 02, 2005 and since then he hasn't posted anything until today. maybe he was just logged on to see the pictures?
Posted by sniper1979
guys, u know what i think.... the only thing that the person has changed is the theme, with the Radio icon flashing thats all!!!
Posted by antichrist
very possible.and the walkman menu above today may be on the background picture.
i wonder how the file manager looks like. and the free space option.
Posted by lost17
uhm .... on forum's page 3 there is a video in .3gp format and the guy who make the mod say FM radio is not working because the HW is missing .....
Posted by Ginz
I want to know if it will be possibile to flash a W950 into a M600.
Benefits for me:
- I want QWERTY
- I like the M600 design
- I [s]want[/s]must have 4GB internal
- I want normal (non-walkman) UI
- Don't like the 'touch' keypad from the W950
Posted by lost17
@ginz
I suppose it's possibile with some CDA change trick, but you cannot have hardware that doen't exist !! Where you think to found 4GB ROM in your M600 ??
Posted by antichrist
that video either means is has been done,either is a very very good fake video
i think its the first option
Posted by maxchat
Arrive to the Czech republic/Prague and I you it demonstrate on it's M600i

Filip

Hi, first I have to say I am aditor on SEMania.cz. This convert M600i to W950i isn't fake. I have seen it on my own eyes. So please If you can't understand what we are talking about, or you don't belive - it is your problem. This is true and editors of SEMania.cz are first, who can have Walkman in M600i.
That's all
Posted by anonymuser
@ Hmyzak_SE - I think the problem isn't so much disbelief, as not really seeing the point of it. Can you explain (for those of us who can't read SEMania) what the advantages are? Why would anyone want to do this? Is it purely for the Walkman player?
Posted by Hmyzak_SE
It is still in moving, we can't say more in this time, give Filip a week of testing, then he can tell you advantages or disadvantages.
[ This Message was edited by: Hmyzak_SE on 2007-04-21 11:58 ]
Posted by antichrist
after testing, will he post a guide to help up make this change? i'm sure a lot of m600 users will want to go for it
Posted by anonymuser
@ Hmyzak_SE - perhaps you can let us know some basics at least - ie, does the memory card slot still work? does the qwerty keyboard still work?
Still not seen a single reason why anyone would want to do this. Just what is better about the Walkman player anyway?

I really cant see the point to all this!
You lose more than you gain by doing this.
I would think that the memory card slot would still work as with the W950i as you remove it from the desk stand from file transfer mode, "memory stick inserted" displays on the screen even though it isn't physically touched!
On the video the radio is shown in the menu but never pressed it would be interesting to see what is displayed when pressed!
Perhaps: "Insert the hardware. it works as the receiver!"
Ah well each to their own, i wont be changing my W950 to an M600 anytime soon!
Posted by antichrist

what you lose more? the word/excel/pdf application?
On the video the radio is shown in the menu but never pressed it would be interesting to see what is displayed when pressed!
it already been mentioned:it displays an error missing hardware. so? who listens to radio anyway?
Ah well each to their own, i wont be changing my W950 to an M600 anytime soon!
i bet no one will change their w950 into an m600, but the question is, who will change his m600 into w950? well, i'll do it
on the first video it clearly says it's the latest version. another + for making this update

You lose:
1. Quickoffice app
2. PDF+ app
You gain:
1. Walkman App
2 is definitely more than 1!

It's bound to be the latest version, cant grasp the point you are trying to make there!
Posted by antichrist
2 is definitely more than 1!
but i use media player daily, since pdf or word aaa...hmmm.. let me thnik.... once in a month? so often? hmmmm

i'm aware of your humor and i laugh

i thought it took some time to edit the firmware and meanwhile r9f was released. but Philip edited it really fast
Posted by Nanu
I'll let you off then!
Posted by mobman
it seems a little drastic to flash w950 just to get the multmedia player and i dont think it would be worth it.
my main fear is that the qwerty keyboard wont work - the m600's best feature.
i am still impressed that it has been done tho - the best thing that could come out of this for me is if SE respond by releasing the walkman app to buy for the p990 and m600
Posted by masseur
I wouldn't convert my M600 to W950 regardless of what worked and what didn't, and I certainly wouldn't spend money on a walkman app either.
Having had both I think the M600 plays music and videos perfectly well for my needs.
Posted by darkwave
Hm I guess it's a fake, W950i has 4GB minidrive, radio FM etc ...
Posted by mobman
you don't think that the walkman app is even worth buying? i admit that i have never seen or used it but it does look impressive.
Posted by masseur
visualisation, track display on standby screen, a couple extra ways to select your music... I can live without that
Posted by harry23419
w950 has flash lite support while m600 doesnt.....altho i dont see any advantages of flashing m600 to w950 as we r using a symbian 9.1 platform device.....sooner or later we might get a similar third party software to walkman player.....radio is a useless feature....and m600 certainly doesnt have 4 gb of HDD why not buy a 1 or 2 gb M2 instead...i recently bought hpm-82 nd now the media player controls r easy to handle.......the media player application is written in the ROM drive.....perhaps we can somhow edit the firmware to have some features of walkman.......

if we wait till

Good news! QWERTY keyboard and M2 slot ready to function on my M600 flashed to W950. Only Radio not working. Visit SEMANIA.CZ
Vivat Filip.

Posted by masseur
I guess thats pretty much as expected then, since M600 has no radio.
so has anyone else done this yet?
Posted by estaphuam
Is the process reversible?
I like the M600 system but I'll do anything once
Posted by Tehy03
I just updated my M600s firmware and phone feels great and I don't want to ruin that by flashing...
Posted by Hmyzak_SE
I might convert my M600i White to W950i White in 2 days
Posted by antichrist
the keyboard is working, media player is working, m2 is working... i just need a walkthrough now
really, i want to do that flash

As you have said you wana try it, I have got the method here which i have not tried by myself, not only because I don't understand fully the instruction, but also I dont have a clue what SETool is.
Anyway, here you go, the method:
--------------------------------------------------------------------
Instructions on flashing your Sony Ericsson M600 to W950
Yesterday Engadget posted about morphing your Sony Ericsson M600 to W950 with reference to my site. Jason posted in the comments instructions on how to do it through Setool2 (flashing software). Here are the instructions:
1. want a walkman player in your m600 ? you can do it with setool
2.okay, what we need:1. zip archiver (winzip or pkzipc or smth)2. w950 and m600 firmwares from support
M600R6A13_CDA162011_1_ACPU_LL_Generic_World1.zip
W950R6A13_CDA162014_1_ACPU_NI_Generic_World1.zip
3. create directory , well, "cnv"
make inside 3 folders: m600, w950, m950 ( )
unzip firmwares into corresponding folders.
4. now, "the trick"copy next files from w950 folder into m950 folder:
R6A13_CDA162014_1_ACPU_NI_Generic_World1.armsoftwa re
R6A13_CDA162014_1_ACPU_NI_ROFS2_Generic_World1.arm software
R6A16R_CXC162075_ACPU_NI_ROFS1.armsoftware
R6A16R_CXC162088_ACPU_NI_ROFS1_EXT.armsoftware
copy next files from m600 folder into m950 folder:
R6A16R_CXC162074_ACPU_LL_CoreOS.armsoftware
633_91_R27A03_CDA162011_1_CCPU_LL_NoSIMLock_Generi c_World1.gdfs
R1A_M600_CCPU_GDFS_Update.gdfs
R6A03_CXC162098_CCPU_fs_LL_NI_Red_CID49_Respin.sof tware
R9F011_CXC162037_CCPU_HE_LL_NI_Red_CID49_Respin.so ftware
finally, zip m950 folder with winzip or other archiver.
5. flash resulted archive. if you want, check "process pda update files", that is NOT neccessary.
6. say thx to sony ericsson.
-----------------------------------------------------------------------
Not sure if this is the same method they (Filip and other ppl from SEMania.Com) used. But if you are already so keen to try it, I am very keen to wait for your result~!!!
Good luck!
Posted by antichrist
i dont understand point 5 and 6, i don't have w950 firmware and i don't have setools. so no try so far....
Posted by tkshinobi
I noticed in that video that every time the phone ick`s off, the m2 card must be removed.Am i wrong?
Posted by antichrist
maybe you are wrong.imo he gets out the m2 to show us there is a card inside and no errors
