Sorry if this has been discussed before, but I don't know the current situation on this matter. Is the conversion currently possible, or is this CID dependant? Can this be done via Davinci? I haven't even received the phone yet though I need to do this because in Finland K608i isn't available - only K600i. So for finnish language I need the K600i fw/software.

yep davinci will flash with the mini usb or a service (t28) cable, i actually used setool2 to flash my v600 (vodafone version of k600) to k600 firmware and worked flawlessly, only problem is if u get a new cid49 phone, a testpoint is needed when using some software, davinci can flash without testpoint so thats ok, but to unlock TP is required

hope this helps

Thanks for reply! I'll look up the CID when I get the phone, It's used so I might get lucky...

I have DSS-25 docking station, will it do the trick also?

Unlocking won't be a problem as it is, I believe, already unlocked. Atleast I've bought it unlocked from ebay. Thanks for the help.

Well, The phone arrived. It was CID 37. Now I'm getting info that the k608i->k600i conversion won't work with Davinci, nor any other (software)client. So it has to be done via SETool2?

Now thats a bummer, bough DSS-25 just for this and one login for Davinci. I just hope it is even possible to add EU4 language pack to the existing firmware this k608i has...

Ok, Total Multiserver did the trick. I installed the k600i R2T firmware with CID49 and it went in flawlessy, I even got the finnish language in. No more 3 adverts!
