This guide will help u convert your k550i into a Cybershot-Walkman Phone !!
Then u will have w610i
or k550i+w610i best of both worlds and popularly know as Cybershot-Walkman
Flash at your own risk ! I don't know if this voids your warranty !
many say it does voids warranty
my idea in that case is flash back to k550i using SEUS
I have flashed my k550i to w610i appropriately and now i hv
1) cybershot camera drivers
2) Walkman 2 player with megabass
3) Flash menus
4) w880 acoustics !!
Picture quality does not decrease !! i hv posted links to pics taken before and after !! but rather quality increases coz of new cybershot FS
Cons: Camera does not start automatically when u open the shutter
u hv to press the cam button after opening shutter.
the guide :
Cybershot-Walkman
Tools needed
Your phone and the data cable that comes with k550i !!
Windows XP Service Pack2

START :
0: backup all contacts !! ( find a way...there are many ways...if u dont know stop right here this tutorial is not for u ) yes back up everything in phone..ur ringtones etc.etc
1. First upadate your phone via SEUS.
Reason XS++ supports CID52 flashing and SEUS will update your phone to CID52
this is easy just follow the onscreen instructions
dont worry this is absoultely safe and works great ! and this does not void warranty
2. Now the real flashing
Turn off your phone. Start XS++ . Select USB
Remove the SIM and Memory Card . Reinsert battery.
Click on connect in XS++ and then holding C ( as in SEUS upadate ) connect your phone to the USB cable ( with in 30 seconds )
it gets detected then release the C key
The left screen will display your phone details including your firmware version and EROM CID which should be CID52. OTP CID should be 51.
now in configuration, select flash. In the new screen, check on Flash Main Firmware Click ‘…’ and select the frmware file
W610_R6BC002_MAIN_GENERIC_NA_RED52.mbn
( keep other options unchecked)
hit the flash button and relax !! it will show finished after loading
when done Exit XS++ and disconnect phone
well u can now start your phone no problems( insert sim first)...it will start
now again plzz shut down and remove sim
now restart XS++...reinsert battery...remove sim
connect the phone ( usual method holding c key etc ect )
now select this FS ( unrar it first of course and get the .fbn file )
check flash FS option !!
K550_R6BC002_FS_CENT_EUROPE_RED52.fbn
keep other option unchecked and hit flash !!
after its done just restart xs++ and reinsert battery
this time u can't start u r phone u will get an error
so far so good
now finally customization
connect phone ( usual process )
unzip the customization pack
you will find a folder named "tpa" in it
now in xs++ directory on PC, in the directory where u have xs++.exe create a new folder named "own_custpack"
copy the "tpa" folder into this "own_custpack" folder the path of custom files should be like own_custpack/tpa/preset/custom...
open xs++ and connect fone check only customize file system
now goto settings and select BreakXS ( important )
go back to FLASH
now under fone model select 'Own Custpack'
under CDA and Region, select '/own_custpack'
now hit flash...
now in few minutes custom files will be added to your phone and done
Start your phone wait for some time !!
OPTIONAL : Flash Menus
inside the own_custpack folder create a new folder named flash
in here exactly tpa/preset/system/desktop/
so that u hv tpa/preset/system/desktop/flash
inside this 'flash' folder copy the swf files only
then open XS++ and use customization
upload the same way u uploaded custom files
here are the flash and non flash themes
remember seperate the .swf and .thm in the rar file given below and send only the .swf files using xs++
copy the .thm files as usually u do in file transfer mode when phone is woking in normal conditions

SECOND PART
For complete w610i Walkman phone
( this is not recommended coz of poor camera )
use these files instead of files used above...the procedure is the same
Main Firmware: w610i
(its the same used in Cybershot Walkman above)
4shared.com - free file sharing and storage - share folder
FS : W610i R6BC002 cent_europe FS
iProTebe.cz - W610...RED52.rar - download
Custom Pack :
iProTebe.cz - HB1-06_Gen_CDA102568_101_R8A_GENERIC_APAC.zip - download
for custom pack u can use anyone form w610i dir in iprotebe
w880 acoustics
attached are w880i originals and sunfire ( a lil loud with no hissing ) use any one
download them from iprotebe
and upload the acoustic files to this folder
/ifs/settings/acoustic/
and flash it...
the video show how to flash...see this video and proceed !!!
video also on Se-Nse forum
Download these and flash...the process is same and u will have a complete w610i with w610i shown in status !! this way u also get flash themes or else which u hv to flash them seperately
Why this is not recommend : Becasue we have not got hold of k550 cam drivers which we could have flashed into this w610i !! so that we have our Cybershot Walkman
dont touch the other option such as GDFS....just stay away its very risky
