This guide will help u convert your k550i into a Cybershot-Walkman Phone !!
Then u will have w610i
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
Don't get scared that this tutorial is really long !
Just flash in W610i Main w610i FS and Customize it ! you will have a wonderful new phone w610i
just ignore those lots and lots of updates !! they are all hacking and modding !
but if you have the time and interest then go ahead and read the entire thread !
( Updates added continuously at the end )
Also read Safety Tips added at the END !!
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) sunfire7 acoustics
Picture quality does not decrease !! So don't Worry !
Cons: Camera does not start automatically when u open the shutter
u hv to press the cam button after opening shutter.
EDIT: You can get all files necessary at this website and other good stuff

START :
0: backup all contacts !! ( find a way, there are many ways, if u dont know stop right here this tut is not for u ) yes back up everything in phone..ur ringtones etc.etc
1. First update your phone via SEUS.
Reason XS++ supports CID52 flashing and SEUS will update your phone to CID52
this is easy just follow the on screen instructions
don'tworry this is absolutely safe and works great ! and this does not void warranty
Flashing Main :
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 firmware 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 Flashing FS:
now restart XS++...reinsert battery...remove sim
connect the phone ( usual method holding c key etc etc )
now select this FS 'K550_R6BC002_FS_CENT_EUROPE_RED52.fbn' Or USE a w610i FS for good !
( unrar it first of course and get the .fbn file )
check flash FS option !!
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 because if your flash FS then you must customize it and that's what is our next step !
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 phone 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 !!
PART 2
For complete w610i Walkman phone (recommended)
w610i Main and w610i FS !!
**** read post no 12 **** and then post no 18 !!
use These files instead of files used above...the procedure is the same
basically only the FS and Cust pack is different here... rest same.
Main Firmware: w610i
4shared.com - free file sharing and storage - share folder
FS : W610i R6BC002 cent_europe FS
iProTebe.cz - W610_R6BC002_FS_CENT_EUROPE_RED52.rar - download
Custom Pack :
http://rapidshare.com/files/52866712/w610_custom_pack.zip
or u can get one custom pack of ur choice form w610i dir in iprotebe
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 the 3 default flash themes and flash others separately
dont touch the other option such as GDFS....just stay away its very risky
For more hacks and customizations check out Se-Nse
also when i am done i will post how to flash w880i acoustics into our new cybershot walkman ( i hv to study now for my upcoming internals )
IMPORTANT : don't forget to get original hpm 70 or Creative EP 630 earphones or better
(its ridiculous to expect a very big leap in music quality without good earphones)
Basic tutorial ends here !! Hacking and modding begins now but do read safety tips ! its one of last updates !!
.................................................. .................................................. .....................................
Flash Menus:
( do this later...after u done flashing main fs and custpack after u seen ur phone work nicely and after )
inside the own_custpack folder create a new folder named flash
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 ( the ones that come with w610i for more read post no 27 )
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
RapidShare: 1-Click Webhosting
these 3 flash menus are for ppl who flashed with k550i FS and w610i Main
if u flashed with w610i FS and w610 Main then u already have these 3 in your phone
many more flash menu links added forl.. flash them !!

UPDATE : Acoustics
w880 acoustics
download w880 originals : very good quality
sunfire sunfire has louder volume !!!!
xearo ma loud acoustic : loudest of all download here
upload the acoustic files to this folder
files_to_upload/ifs/settings/acoustic/**** zapf files here ****
and flash it...using fsx....see the video about how to flash with FSX option in XS++
the following video is only 4 MB download !!
the video shows how to flash...see this video and proceed
UPDATE : Camera Drivers
location :files_to_upload/ifs/settings/camera/***camera driver file here****
drivers v2.4 chris067 at esato
( highly improved video recording )
details of mods
1. VR is set to 24 fps instead of 10 fps
2. Fine quality settings :
all pictures , compression is set from 85% to 95%

4. Tested and works good.
download
cam drivers by number1 at se-nse
details
increased buffer and image sizes (plz note not tested )
download
UPDATE: only for phone with w610i Main and k550i FS
While using flash menu in (k550i FS and w610i Main phone) u wont have the radio option in the phone.... ( ignore this if you flashed completely to Walkman !)
upload this MENU.ML using own_custpack method ( with break XS settings again ) to this directory ( give also is k550i menu.ml file...if u want to revert back then rename it as menu.ml and up it in its place back )
TPA\PRESET\SYSTEM\MENU\*** menu.ml file here ***
the file
RapidShare: 1-Click Webhosting
or esnips link
flashing resources eSnips Folder
other method is that u shld create a shortcut to ur phone's radio while using normal themes and then apply a flash theme and u can get to the radio using that shortcut keyy
UPDATE: A word on acoustics
after using sunfire acoustics i come to conclusion that w880i are very good
coz sunfire is loud and insane that's why the bass also was too much for me !
but i don't know why all people like loud acoustics
UPDATE : Loads of Flash Menu
(found out that provided by peter of se-nse has taken the pain to put them together all in one place which are otherwise scattered all over the net and many forums !)
download the 176x220 ones for k550i and w610i
to preview them just upload the .swf to phone's M2 card check them out !!! a great way to preview before flashing them into phone !! better then previewing them on a computer !
176x220
http://rapidshare.com/files/34781908/176_220.zip

RapidShare: 1-Click Webhosting
http://rapidshare.com/files/34782554/240_320.zip
contents of 176x220
UPDATE: Some Information : U can flash only the MAIN and use the phone !! there is actually no need to flash FS at all
u will have the original stock old k550i FS....
and enjoy cybershot walkman with k550i FS and latest w610i MAIN but that k550i FS is old !! coz u did not flash the latest that's all !
Update: Get Rid Of Sony Ericsson Links
while flashing customization delete all .itm files and send only those Customize.xml and preloaded_config.xml
find them in the customization pack in tpa/preset/custom/
this way u won't have Sony Ericsson links all over the phone in games apps pics themes etc !! i hope u guys get it
or otherwise there is an option in XS++ saying Don't upload SE wap links in Customize File System Option.. just check it !
Update : Lots of Flash Wallpapers !!
download flash wallpapers from here and copy them to Memory card using data cable !!
no flashing needed and then in phone set it as wallpaper as u do normally with jpg or gif
Using Flash Images As Wallpapers! - SE-NSE Forums
UPDATE : Very Cool one !!
Download Content from Sony Ericsson Wesbite : Learn here !!!
UPDATE : Convert Non-Flash Theme to Flash Themes
google 7zip and tugzip and download them
download instructions here 1.12 MB download
u can use winrar or tugzip to unzip it but u hv to change the extension of file frm .thm to .tar which u can't do unless u hv show extensions enabled in windows !
u can add it to tar achieve only using tugzip the ones done with 7zip don't work well !
Easier method :
Use MyThemesCreator by lasyk.net to create flash menu !!
UPDATE : here is a tutorial on how to extract the contents of FS
incase u could not download main2raw and SEFStool from the links given in that tut then google search and download from alternate locations and i think they must be available on iprotebe also
if u extract the FS of w610i u can get walkman skins at this location TPA\SYSTEM\MULTIMEDIA\MP\SKIN have a look at them and see if u can create such skins !
yes u can get the drivers in the FS and have a look at them also and see if u can modify them
u can keep those drivers as backup...
UPDATE : Get Rid Of...... !
The ring tones Greeting, Brooklyn D, Awakening always enter the playlist and irritate us
just delete Awakening, Brooklyn D them from the phone !
Greeting.mp3 this can't be deleted normally !
Use FSX to delete ! just add this file to delete list !
its location is \tpa\user\music\greeting.mp3
incase u really like those ringtone and want them
download them and copy to memory card.. this time in ringtone folder not in music folder !!
UPDATE : Not Getting the FS for k550i and w610i of your choice ??
Don't worry !! the only difference in FS is language files and of course some preloaded settings of Operator WAP and MMS settings that's!!
So U need to get your language files and its t9 dictionary file and upload it to the phone FS and enable that language !
get your language files form any SE phone FS..it may be for k800 or w810i or any phone.... here is the download list of many FS files
Using this list find out in which FS u might get ur language files
Get the FS and extract its contents and get the language files and upload it your phone... i have given the link to the tut about how to extract contents from an FS file !
then upload the files using XS++ to \TPA\PRESET\SYSTEM\LANGUAGE\** here **
the files u need to upload is EN.LNG and EN.T9 for english
if ur your language code is XY then get that XY.LNG and XY.T9 file and upload it..
then edit that customize.xml in notepad to enable your language ( which is very easy once u look into it.. as its not a big file.. contains max of 20 lines )
This Method to add new language works very well !! Verifed by jommarn on this forum !
Thank to him !!!!
UPDATE : VISUALIZATIONS !
As of now we have only 3 default ! U can edit the .avx and make new ones !
u can find them in
.avx files in \TPA\PRESET\SYSTEM\multimedia\AV
starting image file in \TPA\PRESET\SYSTEM\multimedia\AV_DATA
!!! change the start image to get new ones !!
as of now its know that there are only 2 effects lines and wrapping !
for more read this thread !
if u hv k550i flashed with w610i main and k550i FS then flash them to the locations mentioned above using custpack method !
UPDATE: Walkman 2 Skins
download here
use FSX...just put the folder TPA from the archieve to files_to_upload
don't preview the skins in files_to_upload folder
extract them to some other place and see them there...because if u check them out then windows will create thumbs.db files in each of the skins folder ! and u don't want to upload junk to your phone's FS !
Some Information : u have to place skin folders in TPA\SYSTEM\MULTIMEDIA\MP\SKIN\**here**
and each skin folder contians details of that skins... but its already done in and compressed in rar...
just unrar it and upload it..

SAFETY TIPS !!
Don't flash corrupt main into your phone ! XS++ flashing process may be get stuck in between !
if XS++ gets stuck in between then your phone is dead for good !
So Use the Generic Main given here which is tested and works !!
Backup of GDFS !
download SeTool 2 lite !
Read everything about SeTool2 here
Start SeTool 2 lite !
for phone with k550i Main and k550i FS !!! u hv to select phone as k550i
Click Read GDFS ! shall you click some other button ur phone might die !
incase you have already flashed phone to w610i ( using XS++ or someother program ! ) select phone as w610i !!
i.e for phones with w610i Main and w610i FS u hv to select your phone as w610i ! and Click Read GDFS !
Keep GDFS in safe place ! in case your phone dies in the process of modding this can help u revive it
well if u followed all instructions carefully and properly ! ur phone won't die and no need to back up any GDFS
if phone dies and u made a backup of GDFS SeTool will help u revive it... or u can use other professional tools
in case u did not backup GDFS and phone dies... goto SE service center and pay ! or use other pro tools again !
u have to write your own phone's GDFS !! writing some other phone's GDFS will fail !!!!
using Setool2 lite u can do this !!!!
don't be scared ! instead be Careful !! and hv presence of mind !!
we all now have awesomely amazing phones !! don't u want one ??
when i flashed my phone first time i did not backup any GDFS ! but was careful !
did i forget to tell u fellows ??
me and my friends use XS++ 4-5 times a day for our experiments ! and still my phone is alive !!!!!!!!!!!!!
.................................................. .................................................. ....................................
A REQUEST !!
Please Take Pictures Before Flashing and Pictures of same things After Flashing !!
And Upload for Comparison !!! Thank you !

UPDATE : Not Getting the FS for k550i and w610i of your choice ??
Don't worry !! the only difference in FS is language files and of course some preloaded settings of Operator WAP and MMS settings that's!!
So U need to get your language files and its t9 dictionary file and upload it to the phone FS and enable that language !
get your language files form any SE phone FS..it may be for k800 or w810i or any phone.... here is the download list of many FS files
Using this list find out in which FS u might get ur language files
Get the FS and extract its contents and get the language files and upload it your phone... i have given the link to the tut about how to extract contents from an FS file !
then upload the files using XS++ to \TPA\PRESET\SYSTEM\LANGUAGE\** here **
the files u need to upload is EN.LNG and EN.T9 for english
if ur your language code is XY then get that XY.LNG and XY.T9 file and upload it..
then edit that customize.xml in notepad to enable your language ( which is very easy once u look into it.. as its not a big file.. contains max of 20 lines )
This Method to add new language works very well !! Verifed by jommarn on this forum !
Thank to him !!!!
UPDATE : VISUALIZATIONS !

UPDATE: Walkman 2 Skins
download here
use FSX...just put the folder TPA from the archieve to files_to_upload
don't preview the skins in files_to_upload folder
extract them to some other place and see them there...because if u check them out then windows will create thumbs.db files in each of the skins folder ! and u don't want to upload junk to your phone's FS !
Some Information : u have to place skin folders in TPA\SYSTEM\MULTIMEDIA\MP\SKIN\**here**
and each skin folder contians details of that skins... but its already done in and compressed in rar...
just unrar it and upload it..

SAFETY TIPS !!
Don't flash corrupt main into your phone ! XS++ flashing process may be get stuck in between !
if XS++ gets stuck in between then your phone is dead for good !
So Use the Generic Main given here which is tested and works !!
Backup of GDFS !
download SeTool 2 lite !
Read everything about SeTool2 here
Start SeTool 2 lite !
for phone with k550i Main and k550i FS !!! u hv to select phone as k550i
Click Read GDFS ! shall you click some other button ur phone might die !
incase you have already flashed phone to w610i ( using XS++ or someother program ! ) select phone as w610i !!
i.e for phones with w610i Main and w610i FS u hv to select your phone as w610i ! and Click Read GDFS !
Keep GDFS in safe place ! in case your phone dies in the process of modding this can help u revive it
well if u followed all instructions carefully and properly ! ur phone won't die and no need to back up any GDFS
if phone dies and u made a backup of GDFS SeTool will help u revive it... or u can use other professional tools
in case u did not backup GDFS and phone dies... goto SE service center and pay ! or use other pro tools again !
u have to write your own phone's GDFS !! writing some other phone's GDFS will fail !!!!
using Setool2 lite u can do this !!!!
