I made a guide that will show you how to backup your installed games/application from your K750/W800 (probably works with W810 too, but this one is for CID36 phones, so the filesystem folder structure is almost the same with the W810 so you can backup it's installed games/apps if you break into the FS with FAR). This is useful when upgrading to other phone, but you want to keep your previous games/apps .

First you have to copy your games/apps you want to backup in your phone memory (if they are stored in the memory card). It is done like this: Go to "Menu/Entertainment/Games/(find the game)More/Move to phone". Once you have done copying the games/apps you want to backup, you are now ready to start the backup.

Before you run FAR, you need to open new folder where the backup will be stored (and be easily accessed with FAR also). In my case I did it like this: "C:\Program Files\FAR\Stari fajlovi". Then you can Enter the matrix .

Open the SEFP plugin and select your phone model, CID version, type of cable and connection speed:



Then turn off the phone, remove the SIM card. Let the battery out of the phone for some seconds (30-50secs.). Then click "Enter the Matrix" and plug in the phone into the pc (using the DCU60 cable) while holding the "C" button on the phone pressed down all the time. Once you got into the phone, enter the "FS" folder. Keep the "C" button pressed until the loader breaks into the phone filesystem:



Once the loader finished the breaking in and you see the tpa folder you can release the "C" button. Now go to this folder: "tpa/preset/system/ams/":



Once you entered the "ams" folder you should now see all your installed application "jar", "jad" and etc...:



Now select the application you want to backup. In the oposite panel of FAR, navigate to the folder, where the backup will be stored. Then press the "Copy" button, and press OK:





Once you are done with the backup, you have to exit FAR. Now keep doubleclicking the 2 dots and go back through the folders until you are prompted to "Shutdown the CSFS loader". Then click YES:



Now exit FAR and unplug the phone. Remove the battery for some time, then insert the SIM card and turn on the phone. Now you can enjoy you backed up application and install them on your new phone .

WARNING: EVERYTHING YOU DECIDE TO DO WITH YOUR PHONE IS AT YOUR OWN RISK. ME OR ANYONE ELSE IS NOT RESPONSIBLE FOR THE DAMAGE MADE TO THE PHONE DUE TO NOT PROPER WORKING!!!

Hope this will help someone who need backup of games or applications .

Hi,
any way to "manipulate" games that are "locked" to a sim-card (you know - you have a voda-phone, buy some of their games, port to o2, and Bang: the voda-games no longer work.... (which I find rather naughty, seeing that you pay for the game!!!)???

Well, I haven't branded phone to try here, but try with this guide maybe it will work.

EDIT: Actually this works good with games that are not locked. Most of mine games are free games (not paid) . Maybe the "branded" games which work only on some phones with the same branding have something in their manifest.ml file which don't allow you to install them, but I haven't tried yet. Can you send me one of your games that don't work, so I will see if I can do something?

I tried to copy a game from phone to computer but no luck.
When I select a game and click on copy, it doesn't do anything.
Can anyone help me?
