Extracting an FS
Jan 12
Download Main2Raw and SEFS Click here
Also you can use Babe2Raw, Instead of Main2Raw , Download here.
Download FS of your choice from the internet. If you don’t know where then contact me. Best place is Topse Russia.
Create a folder by name “ext” or any other name in C:\
copy and paste the FS that you want to extract. Here i take the W610i FS for the tutorial. Rename the FS as w610. Its better to have a short name for the FS then the normal long name W610_R6BC002_FS_S_ASIA_LEVAN_RED52.fbn
copy main2raw and sefstool to that folder
Then in Click the Start > Run
type cmd in run and press ok
Now DOS Prompt will open up
type >> cd\
next type >> cd ext
next type >> main2raw.exe w610
main2raw in a few second creates a file with name raw !
now type SEFStool4 raw
wait for a few minutes you will get the extracted firmwares in a folder called _raw
See the Pictures below !
The pictures make it more easier ! Click On Picture to Enlarge !
Type This Stuff and then hit enter after each command
You get this Next. Main raw has created a file with name raw
Type SEFStool4 raw >> and hit Enter see the picture
Then wait for some time and you get the extracted FS in a folder called _raw in the ext folder that you had created !!

Hi Master,
Thanx for yesterday reply to my question about flashing Main, FS and Custpack all in one go.
Hvn’ done yet because I’m trying to add a language to FS before flashing it. Is it worth to try?
So far I extracted FS_EUROPE_1 and I found the language (Spanish, ES) I wanted to add to EUROPE_5.
Is there a way of adding it to EUR 5 FS file (EN, FR, DE, IT) BEFORE flashing it?
Humble regards from your devote admirer.
Lmbrt
Florence, Italy
PS About this tutorial, kindly note that on certain PC’s (like mine Win XP SP2) you may need to type the extension “.fnb” at the cmd “next type >> main2raw.exe w610″ and the complete file name (not only “raw”, i.e “W610.raw”) at the cmd “now type SEFStool4 raw”or it won’t do the trick…
Feb 23 at 12:24
ok thanks for that info .. !
now you can’t add in the FS and flash
only after flashing you can do it

May 08 at 17:50
you are making some mistake.
read tutorial properly
no need to extract fs if you are just going to unlock your phone.
May 10 at 11:06
ok so pls tell me all wot i need to do pls!!!!!
May 10 at 14:14
don’t extract fs.
just patch your phone. no need to extract fs unless you are applying folder change patches
May 18 at 16:15
hello…. may i ask…
what is funtion of fs
why is so important to follow this step of fs….
erm… and why not if we just copy its to memory card folder directly….
May 18 at 16:34
FS is File System, the set of file the phone uses. E. g. languages, themes, walkman skins, display/camera/acoustic drivers, etc.
Step of FS????
Because these files are not on the memory card, and not possible to access from the phone’s file manager either.
May 18 at 16:41
thank… owh…! thats why we should extract it first before copy its to mc/other,…. right!
May 18 at 17:27
Not exactly. This tutorial is for people who need files from the FS, like they have started modding and screwed up something, they can use the fs to get the original files and upload them, so there is no need for reflashing FS entirely.

i doing step by step & tried main2raw & babe2raw
but when i enter it come out error what should i do
?
Jun 09 at 19:49
It really has to be at C:\ and name as w610 or so. They have some lame error so not support longer names.
Jun 23 at 07:37
PLEASE!! Somebody can extract the W350i FS???
Jun 23 at 09:44
Well W350 is a DB2020 model, it should be easy to extract it, but seusers.com has no such FW, share2flash only has one CID 53 file. So first wait for them to host such a file. :S
Jun 27 at 05:02
how can i enable flash menu’s in my k800i?
It’s of db2020 and too have a folder
tpa/preset/system/desktop/flash
but i have tried inserting .swf files there..
but it doesn’t worked with the theme……..
Jun 27 at 12:11
you can’t.. sorry.
Jun 28 at 15:24
can i extract a main file
Jun 28 at 16:06

but can be de-compiled to raw arm instructions and data tables.
Jun 28 at 17:04
