I think phone firmware can be changed with phone xs as it supports changing the MAIN and FS firmware and it can finalize the phone too.

so...you mean with flashing MAIN and FS is the same like if I upgrade my phone firmware to Sony Ericsson Service Center?
So I can upgrade and downgrade the firmware by my self right?
Woaaahh.....! Thats Cool...!!! I don't need SESC anymore since I can upgrade or downgrade by my own...

Than...what is the different between (*.mbn and *.fbn file) with *.ibn file from TopSony?
any suggestion?

That's the format of the firmware file... But be careful when flashing with that tool. After flashing you need to finalize the phone which takes some time...

@strizlow800

and what file do I have to finalizing?
How to finalizing it ?

After you flash the firmware you will have to download some files named as customization files. These files are meant to finalize your phone - customize it so it can be usable for you. The customization files are different for all firmwares so you will have to download custom packs for your firmware/cda (the firmware you flashed the phone to). The these packs need to be copied to an internal phone folder which is located in the phone filesystem: "FS/tpa/preset/custom". But finalization takes a bit longer time (it was like that and I'm not sure if this bug is fixed as I haven't flashed CID49 W810 recently). So the finalisation may take several hours...
P.S. If you only flash the phone, without finalizing it, it will still turn on, but you won't be able to enter menus or use the phone as it is meant to be used.

Here I made good guide how to flash your W810 using PhoneXS or XS++ (as you wish) and customizing it without bruteforce (using FAR manager):
