I've got a W810i I bought from the carphone warehouse and although I have an 02 sim in it its not locked or branded to 02. I'm having a problem with flash menus even though its not a branded or locked phone. I've currently got R4EA031 prgCXC1250316_GENERIC_HN firmware on my phone
And the customization on the software info says CDA102494/4 R4Acxc1250324 R4ED001 EUROPE_2
And finally Java SW version is 6.5

The problem I'm having is that my phone won't display the flash themes, it just displays them like they are a normal theme and I'm not sure why this is.

I'm using a Mac as well not a windows PC so I can't run the SE updater but carphone warehouse have told me they'll do it for me. Is there any way I can get these themes working?

Thanks in advance

i've noticed from friends that although CPW have generic software they use one where in the customize.xml the flash themes must be disabled, u need to use dacinciteam.com, or wotanserver.com to debrand or XS++ to manually change the string in customize.xml

if you take to CPW i think theyll just flash with the same FW

u dont have flash menus due to the operator customizing, use XS++ and FAR manager (there are a couple of guides around, google "FAR w810"), all u have to do is extract the customiztion.xml file via FAR, and edit the string somthing like /false to something like /true, and load it back in, flash up with XS++ and you are done!, make sure u go thru the far manager guides in detail because far can be dangerous if u dont know wat u are doing

Thanks for the replies! Is there any way to make any alterations to make it work without voiding the warranty? Presumably using davinci and XS++ will void the warranty?
