Trying to flash an old K610 to W660 firmware just for the fun of it, following this very detailed and useful guide.
EDIT: Seems I can't use the url tag? Well here's the link to the guide then.
http://www.myforum.a site/showthread.php?t=38528
I've done step 1, 2 and 3 with success. The phone now boots, and everything is as described; everything works except the walkman. But I'm stuck at step 4.
XS++ has no problem flashing the MAIN firmware, but when trying to flash the exact same file with SETool2Lite, I get the "embedded flashloader not responds !" error.
So I've searched a lot on Google of course, and the general reply people get is to
- try another cable,
- install the latest USB driver (from SETool2Lite),
- try another USB port on your PC,
- try another firmware file,
Since I've tried all of the above now without any change in the result, I'm posting here.
In step 4 the main firmware is flashed again (using SETool2Lite), bypassing DB2020 security. This is the step that fails. It never gets to the vkp script.
The phone is of course 100% charged, and I do of course hold the C button before inserting the cable.
Any ideas?

Can I see the log from SETool2lite please. Have you tried doing the bypass with JDFlasher?
Posted by mr_lou
Didn't try with JDFlasher yet no. It's been a long time since I tried FAR Manager. (Put some menu-icons on my W800 long time ago).
I just tried again here at work, with another cable and obviously another computer. Still the same. Here's the log.

Hmm odd. Looks as though the bypass was successful but stops before patching the qapatch. I'd try with JDFlasher.
Posted by mr_lou
I just tried with JDFlasher.
Gives me this error, regardless of choosing ofs or oflash.
Posted by Boysie
Wrong script! You are DB2020, not DB2012!!
Select DB2020 script and select BFlash.

Ah, missed that.
The new error is something along the line of "full plugin installation required", when I enter bflash.
So searched briefly for another download of the plugin, but it seems to be just a folder to be copied into the plugin folder, so not sure what full plugin installation means.

Use this JDFlasher: http://www.4shared.com/file/l[....]PF_v3_CXCpatcher_v5_JDfla.html
Posted by mr_lou
Download fails on that link at 99,99%
Posted by Boysie
I'm afraid the problems lies with you. The file is good.
Posted by mr_lou
mkay, will try from home then. Because here at work it fails both with IE and Firefox.
Posted by Boysie
Ok then. Use this: http://www.justdanpo.cheb.ru/data/projects/gsm/jdflasher.7z
Posted by mr_lou
The download works fine from home.
And JDFlasher ran through all 3 unplugs/reconnect. Last thing that pops up is the "Remember to flash MAIN" message. Then it fails:
SetDirectory(setdir(setmode(doscript(qhldr(gethello(IOusb:getblock(time exceed)))))))

Hmm...
Here's a guide. Apologies for the absence of screenshots.

Looks like I'm doing what the tutorial says.
I wonder if it matters that I used DaVinci Client earlier to change color to brown. I forget why I did it, probably because I thought it was needed to apply some patches.
Later I changed color back again to red (supercid), also using DaVinci Client. Could this be the reason for the problems?
Can I do anything else with DaVinci? I'm not afraid to spend some money on it.

make sure that ur fastport clean and the cable connect properly,sometime it can cause an error too,happen to me several times,and that because my fastport has became very loose now.check and recheck the file that u use,maybe its been corrupt,sometime people tend to miss the very basic thing.
hope it help
oh,and sorry for my bad english,i hope you can understand,im just trying to help

Ok so you could have left it brown CID49 and patched it with ease without the need for a qapatch. You say its now supercid? With patched erom? If so JDFlasher has a special script for that.

It was K610 firmware at the time. Are you saying that a brown K610 could easily be flashed to W660? I need the W660 firmware, because there aren't really any patches for K610.
Will it help if I first flash the W660 firmware with XS++ onto the K610 now, and then make it brown color with DaVinci? Will I then be able to apply patches (including the one that makes the walkman work) with SETool2Lite? All I really want is to be able to apply some patches, like remove java security popups - and of course it would be nice to have the walkman working also.
I'm clearly getting nowhere in its current state. All programs give up, so I must take a new direction.
(I'm also wondering a bit why I'm actually doing this, since I have no use for the phone afterwards, other than it can run my J2ME stuff without annoying security popups. I guess it's just a want-to-do-it thing).
Posted by mr_lou
Well, just changed color back to brown, and now remember why I changed it back to red again in the first place.
Neither SETool2Lite nor JDFlasher will flash nor patch CID49 it seems.
So I don't understand how changing it to brown will make me patch with ease.

What script in JDFlasher?
Posted by mr_lou
I can't even connect with JDFlasher.
OpenPlugin(connecttophone(getcid(can't find device info in xml [49brown])))
Maybe something entirely different is wrong with this phone. But it turns on fine, and everything works except the walkman, because that step failed.
EDIT: Device info in xml....hmm. Don't tell me I need a special xml file somewhere in the jdflasher dir.

You need to use the JDFlasher I linked on previous page. The one from justdanpo.cheb.ru.
Connect to DB2020 script, enter bflash, apply patches
Brown phones rule!

Yea, that did the trick! Now walkman works.
You wouldn't happen to know the explanation for why brightness has to be set at 50-60% before walkman works, would you?
Thanks a lot for your guidelines. This would have been an impossible achievement without your help. Looking forward to applying some other patches and see what use I can make of this old phone.
Posted by Boysie
Sorry, don't know about the brightness issue but I'm glad you've sorted the patching. Btw you can copy files from FS using bfs in the DB2020 script.
