"Flash file for V800 with firmware R1J has been uploaded in setool2 support area.
Pls note. eu9 pack have not Voda.. you can decustomize your phone with it."
http://www.setool.net
I don't have V800 to test it so any feedback is appreciated. But at least that's the good news. It is not full decustomize so waiting for someone to test it and see what we get.
Take care,

Might try it later, lets see what they say it actually does first?
Posted by masseur
should I alert vodafone to get on standby to send you out another V800?
Posted by vee
masseur,
why are you so sceptical?
... hehehe
Posted by themarques
Hahah yeah if you dont mind.......

@vee
have you tried it yet? by the way what makes you say partial decustomize?
setool.net implies the EU9 file will fully decustomize the phone from voda branding.
Posted by themarques
I am sure it will work, we wait and see
Posted by vee
@ gbrooks3
haven't tried it yet as I don't have a V800
( ...
i think Vodafone icons and possibly live! button are part of the main firmware and there is no "clean" firmware as there is no "clean" V800...
so I think EU9 FS is cleaned from pre defined items like, pics, tones, themes, boot screens, data/wap accounts etc. but that there are still vodafone icons and possibly vodafone live! button
but I might be completly wrong, so until someone tries it we can only guess
...
PS. If someone wants to send me V800 in Croatia I would be more than happy to test it... (if it works I keep the phone
hehehe)

ok many thanks vee.
i am still waiting for my V800 to be delivered so i cannot test it as yet.
Posted by themarques
Ok I am about to fireaway, just got some credits 5 so if I have some left I might donate some to a needy cause. Now I need a little hand before I go ahead here...it seems they only have one file available which is V800 GDFS..OK so thats cool but dont you need a language file as well? This is the only file they have available for download so I am kinda worried.
If it is the only file you need then were do you put it in? Main Firmware or File System Image, or Firmware Upgrade or Misc Files....and do I click Flash or WRITE GDFS?
Posted by gbrooks3
i havent used the V800 with setool yet but i believe the GDFS file is to repair "blinking" or dead phones.
there should be an EU9 firmware file uploaded as it says on the main setool page.
Posted by Pallister
Hmmmm..
Isn`t the GDFS file for unlocking procedure only, according to Total Multi Server it is??
Posted by themarques
I have just written to them I will wait on there reply..

@themarques
you need to download main firmware and eu9 FS file from support area... V800 is located between "K506C and K500C" and "K700 FSA - Firmware: R2AE"... the V800 link at the top doesn't work
. so you have to scroll down manually... if you still don't see it so ctrl+F5 on your computer... if you still don't see it contact me on ICQ or email and I'll send them to you 
... GDFS file is to repair phone and you don't need it... if you need any help also with setool I may help... I PMd you my ICQ, MSN
Posted by gbrooks3
@vee
nice work clearing that up mate. Setool usually has very good support, i though it unlikely they had made a mistake.
Posted by vee
@ gbrooks3
i downloaded the files 2 days ago I think so they are their... a bit hidden
... I had to do ctrl+F5 in Firefox to see them for some-strange-cache-reason, but I found them ... yes their support is very good
I really wish someone tries and posts result...
Posted by Memzee
I'd be interested too.
Posted by Pallister
And so would I:)
If someone dares, that is

Posted by gbrooks3
seems like themarques is going to do it, shame he couldnt find the files earlier.
Posted by vee
yes so now it is confirmed from setool support that right soft key stays the same - vodafone live!
so my guess was right
... and I am pretty sure the icons stay the same...
still very good job due the fact that there is not unbranded V800 on market... maybe Z800 in coming months
Posted by gbrooks3
i am still bet cruiser team will release a full decustomization solution.
Posted by vee
hmmh... i hope they will, but it is just matter of how to replace those icons and button in main firmware... setool now can replace message alert tones, predefined pictures etc... but they all are in FS... so that's how it is done in V800 also... I think decompiling the main firmware and replacing icons and vodafone live! button will be a hard job and I am excited to see who will be the first (Laser or Lead)... but I still think it will be SE
anyway that's my guess only...
Posted by gbrooks3
yes, but there must be fully SE generic firmware somewhere. i hope the V800 was one of the prototypes lead got a while ago for research. and also i think "3" will release the V800 soon so SE must have made generic firmware otherwise "3" would have to build their own or use voda lol.
i think generic V800 exists somewhere.
Posted by gbrooks3
@vee
this is a quote from setool2 team
"If you want make your V800 almost clean from vodafone crap (thems, picture, e.t.c.)
just reflash it with:
main firmware file: v800R1J_eu_main.bin
file system image: v800R1J_fs.eu9
all flash files can be found in our support area
P.S. one thing that will left from voda is the right soft key."
what do you make of this? soft key is the only thing remaining? provided are main firmware and raw fs so phone should be unbranded - even icons?
Posted by vee
@ gbrooks3
yes I saw that also... i don't know... i would really like that vodafone icons are gone, but somehow doubt it... i guess we'll have to wait and see...
I am pretty sure that icons and live! button are in MAIN part and if icons are changed I don't see a reason for button to stay and vice versa...
edit:
this is what I found till now about EU9... it should be these languages: [en/fr/de/it/ar/hu/tr] so the same as EU6, except obviously with less customization... there is no "unbranded" MAIN firmware for V800... maybe there is developer version for Z800 or whatever it will be called, but the phone i don't know the phone's codename so I don't know how to find it out...

Posted by gbrooks3
thats the spirit old chap! one small step...............
Posted by gbrooks3
any news yet guys?
Posted by themarques
Few minutes, guys its in the final stages...last flash
Posted by gbrooks3
this is a quote from the man himself, the_laser
"Greetings.
@all:
NO ANY VODA SIGNS EXCEPT "live!" on right softkey at menu.
and that softkey acts as "wap" button in good old k700 "
if you can make sense of that you are doing better than me.
Posted by gbrooks3
a few minutes? you not using a T28 cable are you? minutes become hours with that thing.
Posted by vee
yes he is
really a few more minutes...
Posted by gbrooks3
i think if i didnt already have one, i would buy a UFS box and use that instead of using that T28 cable - soooooooooo slooooooooooow
Posted by vee
hehe the phone is done... we had a nice chit chat and I'll let themarques tell you all other details and small things you are waiting for...
Posted by gbrooks3
hehe, comon share the good news. i take it no blinking phone then?
Posted by themarques
Ok before I go any further I have to say A BIG THANKS TO @VEE very helpfull and I really needed his help. Ok so now lets get down to bussiness...
Ok firstly it starts with the original SE logo instead of HELLO HOW ARE YOU RUBBISH...The LIVE button is still there but NOT linked to any internet profile..when you click it, it then asks you to set up an interent acccount.
Upon enetering the main menu it is still Voda and nothing much has changed, I didint expect it to either frankly. The good news well at least for me is that they have got rid of the internet profiles and that was the major factor for me. The games are still on it and the phone seems pretty responsive but not much of a change there.
The camera looks the same and no difference a big shame is that they did not get rid of the sound when you take a picture, I am goin to see if any caller id has been assigned to the front screen (doubt that as well). The games are still there which is always good...
Ok so thats so far what I can see if you have any questions then drop me a line and I will check it out for you...
Posted by Memzee
And the blinking is gone right?
Posted by gbrooks3
good stuff themarques, knew you wouldnt let us down. We will be able to get rid of the camera sound in the future, cruiser can remove it with K/F/S series and Z/V series will come soon i hope.
@memzee
the Blinking thing was just a joke.

Bah.. my K700i's blinking and O2 only sent me a replacement the other day.
SEUS hasn't been able to sort it out because it doesn't turn on properly, so O2 will be receiving a nice phone call tomorrow after sending me two defective re-conditioned handsets in one week.

Always a pleasure

Can you try these things for me?
-Check the picture sizes available.
-Check zoom.
-See if you can add the theme to the more shortcut menu (up arrow)
-Place a external wallpaper and turn the phone off and on to see if the external wallpaper is still there.
-Set a mp3 ringtone without drm.
-Tell me whats the software version.
Thanks.

As before 1280 x 1024
-Check zoom.
Zoom is the same
-See if you can add the theme to the more shortcut menu (up arrow)
Doesnt seem like so but the menu is slightly longer now: Turn off silent, Select Profile, BT, IR, Alarms, Light, Edit Shortcuts
-Place a external wallpaper and turn the phone off and on to see if the external wallpaper is still there. Yup wallpaper picture is still there after turning off
-Set a mp3 ringtone without drm.
Yup Ringtone works without DRM...COOL
-Tell me whats the software version.

One more thing...put the organic theme (flying balls) on and plug in the charger. Does the flying balls lag? Thanks. I will probably upgrade my v800 firmware once I get my cable.
Posted by Altezza_lex
BTW is the camera software version still 5.5?
Posted by babysmile
Wow.. getting hotter and hotter!!.. weeee...
nice job marques..
Posted by themarques
Ok camera is 6.2 and the organic version I do not have I will get it later and update you.
If you have it then email it to me or just drop me a link as I looked for it and cant find it.
