Can anyone help me to flash this phone? I know that i should search (i did that), and that there is 1000 topics about this, but i have limited network connection and many ways of flashing need paying (and i cannot pay for various reasons). Also, i am complete newbie when it comes to flashing and stuff like that and i don't want to screw something up... Anyway:
I bought this phone and when i turn it on, white screen flashes. xss++ can detect it, and here is log:
16:01:07| Baseband ID: 9900
16:01:07| Protocol Version: 3.1
16:01:07| Phone name detected!
16:01:07|
16:01:07| Profiling SEMC phone...
16:01:07| Platform: DB2020
16:01:07| OTP CID: 49
16:01:07| EROM CID: 53
16:01:07| EROM Color: Red
16:01:07| IMEI: 35342701xxxxxx
16:01:07| Phone ID: K800
16:01:07| Region: S_E_EUROPE
16:01:07| CDA: CDA102511/2 R2A
16:01:07| Firmware Version: R8BF003
16:01:07| EROM: R3A022

What should i do next? Sorry for posting something that already has been answered and sorry for my bad english

Also, i am not sure that battery is charging, so can i put in another from se w395? It looks the same, and "950mAx" are matching, along with everything else, except i cant find Wh mark on k800i. On w395 it says 3.4Wh.
Please help.

What languages do you need on the phone?

PS. You can use the W395 battery if it fits.

http://www.esato.com/board/viewtopic.php?topic=170737

Here is a pretty good tutorial. You can use the same files the guy there used if you only use english. You can also download K800 files instead of K810 but it's just the same (your phone will be recognized as a k810 instead of k800, you'll have absolutely the same features as on k800 but you'll also have trackid and photo fix)

The reason you can't use your phone with XS++ is that yours is CID53. 16:01:07| EROM CID: 53
XS++ only supports up to CID52. You can't downgrade (for free)

(I think) it flashes because you haven't put the custpack in tpa/preset/custom
http://www.topsony.com/forum/[....]ks.php?catid=3988&linkid=65217

At 7 just copy the FS there (just as the MAIN above)
Then don't forget to put the lighteffects from the original k800 so the keypad will work just fine.

You need to copy this FS: http://www.topsony.com/forum/[....]ks.php?catid=1436&linkid=26916

And lol, don't forget to unrar

I recommend you to start it all over again. Happy new year!

Ok, i found somewhere that i should use R8BF003_MAIN_GENERIC_WI_R file for flashing in case that i have some newer type of display. I found that file on http://www.4shared.com/file/z[....]_R8BF003_MAIN_GENERIC_WI_R.htm but far manager wont let me flash phone with it. The flas it button is just grayed out. Anyone?
