Hello, i am newbie to flashing. I am following this thread regularly. I have visited a couple of links given here for my K850i firmware. My question is there are many MAIN and FS. How to know which one is best and which one is currently installled in phone?
Also, i saw a file name custompack and kkc files. What are that for?
In above tutorial, on step 7, it is said to do customisation. Why is it done? From where i get the file for it.
I am sorry, if i am annoying you. But i am confused here.thank you for your help.

@ceaser2008: sorry for the late reply. you are running the latest firmware now. the customisation let you to use your phone. if you dont do this part, you will get the "configuration error" message.

Hello all.

Well i tried this tutorial but i couldn't get the phone to connect to the software. I've got a SE W760i but when it says to press the C and then plug the USB in, the green progress bar keeps on going and nothing happens. I kept it held down for around 136 seconds.

I'm using Windows Vista. I may try Windows XP PRO and see how that goes.

I tried pressing the C and plugging the USB with the phone, then i tried it with the phone on. None of the 2 i tried worked.

Thanks

And what do we get when we flash the phone?
U mean debrand it?

Or what else?

Still no luck. I installed the ggsetup-2.2.0.1 and then tried the A2uploader.exe and still no luck. The green bar on the bottom of A2uploader keeps on going and the message keeps on saying "Hold C then insert USB cable"

THe only thing i can think of which may be wrong is that i may have the wrong usb cable. The one i have is the one which came with the phone which enables you to transfer photos, sync with calander etc etc.

just another question. when i plug the USB cable in, does the phone have to be on or off? If the phone has to be on, what mode does it have to be in out of "Phone Mode", "media file transfer", "Print mode".

Any help appreciated.

I found out that even though a2 uploader was in the exceptions on my antivirus, it was not allowed access to the usb ports. Try shutting down your antivirus

Thanks for your reply. i tried shutting down the AV and rebooted with it turned off.

No luck unfortunately. It's still got the same issues.

o.k. i think i've solved the problem. I needed to hold down the 5 instead of the C.

i flashed the phone with the FS file. Now i'm going to do the MAIN. Whats the difference between the 2?

Thanks

FS = File System(it talks by itself)
MAIN = the core of the firmware
