Elfpack/Elves
Apr 15
ELVES are really amazing !! They are sort of System Programs, using them you can change the behavior of your phone, add new features. Elves are Written in C Programming language, and they are directly executed by the phone’s ARM Processor. They have extension .elf ! Like how an .exe can be executed on Windows, an .elf can be executed in the phone if Elfpack is installed. These programs are known as ELVES. To use ELVES first you need to Install the ELFPACK for your phone (type and firmware version must be all right) !
Here is a short guide to use ELVES. ELVES can pimp your phone to max.
An ELFPACK has 3 files:
- ELFPACK Patch (.vkp)
- Library Patch (.lib.vkp)
- DYN_CONST.BIN file
To start off, Create the following folders for db2020 and w810,z550
In phone
Other/Zbin
Other/ini
Other/Zbin/Config
In M2 Card (yes, it has to be the memory stick, if you don’t have any, you can’t use the daemon function)
Other/Zbin/Daemons
Copy DYN_CONST.bin file to Other/Zbin/Config
Note: If your phone is k750 or w800 or w700 then create Daemons in Other/Daemons, do the same if elves you placed in ZBin/Daemons do not start with the phone.
Then apply the following Elfpack_patch and The Library Patch.
For example consider w610:
First apply ElfPack_w610_Rxx002.vkp patch
Then apply w610_r6bc002.lib.vkp patch
Place a few ELVES in Phone/Other/ZBIN. Open this folder with the phone’s file manager and Select Start.
ELVES placed in Daemons in M2 Card Start Automatically with phone.
If an ELF has INI file with it, place it in INI Folder. And if a ELF comes with config stuff then place it in there.
Some phones don’t have DYN CONST, For such phones many elves won’t work. DYN_CONST for many phone is underdevelopment.
ELFPACK depends on firmware, but Most ELVES are firmware independent.
All ELVES that I have come across, find them here
Also here is Peti’s elf collection, elfpacks and elves.
You find more elves at the Following places. Use Google Translator 
Mobile free is the place where most of the elf development takes place.
MobileFree Elves thread
Elves At Se-Nse
This website You can find latest Libraries and Information !
Also here please find few ELFPACK and ELVES.
Updated ELFPACK and Libraries are released often. To keep yourself updated, its recommended to follow the ELF Thread at any of your favorite forum, Development of elfs goes at a very rapid pace.
Description of Few ELVES
LogoChanger >> Instead of AIRTEL show your name in standby in first line ! Also show Temperature, day of week, battery etc in Second Line.
BookManager >> Task Manger and ELF manager, Shortcut key becomes Bookmanager, To access actual phone task manager double press shortcut button.
Screenshooter >> Start ELF then Press Music Button to take screenshots then close using Bookmanager to retain music button. Pictures stored in PIcture folder or in otherfolder.
FileManager >> FULL phone’s FS access !! be careful.
PhoneInfo >> Replaces normal phone info with advanced phone info.
Sleepmode ELF >> Completely customize the sleepmode screen.
SUDOKU >> Play SUDOKU on your phone standby screen.
Battery Menu >> It shows some info about the phone battery and stuff like how much charge is in it, its temprature and so on.
NoBattAndSignal >> removes the battery and signal from the screen.
KeyCode >> When you press Keys it will give you the Hex value for each key something like 0×24 = Play Key, these are usefull for configuring .ini files (these ini files are already configured).
Sometimes when you are configuring elves, you need to set up keys. Then you can use either that KeyCode elf, or this list.
Key codes:
0×01: On/Off-Button
0×02: Left Softkey
0×03: Right Softkey

Xd. I think u thought over my request for elves tutorials. Thanks. Actually can u tell me for which firmware have u provided the elves in ur 4shared account. If u find for w610i R8 then pls tell me. bye.
Apr 15 at 15:22
It was planned before your request.
Sorry but W610 R8 has no fully functional elf-pack. Some elves may run on it, but not too much. Better use R6.
Apr 15 at 15:22
sorry !! R8 Elf development is not happening
change firmware to w610
i did !! i now have R6BC002
Apr 15 at 16:28
by the way where is ElfPack_w610_Rxx002.vkp patch. its not there in zip file.
Apr 15 at 18:36
http://sebg.110mb.com/Elfs/Elfs_Db2020/ElfPack_w610_bc002.zip try that. xxx means that you must use the patch for the appropriate firmware, r6bc002 for r6bc002.
Apr 18 at 17:29
thank you akshayy and peti!

Apr 23 at 05:25
Backup your contact and so (MyPhoneExplorer). Reflash FS (XS++, also upload a custpack!!). Upload new acoustics (FAR Manager). You can find all tutorials you will need on this site (use search, or even google, it has this page as the 2nd/3rd result).
Apr 24 at 08:04
hey does anyone know how to create an elfpack for the w830i rikg001 firmware??
Apr 24 at 12:36
It’s hopeless to do it on your own. Elf vkps are pretty hard to port, so you’d better ask for it at mobilefree.ru/forum.se-nse.com.
Apr 28 at 12:44
how to change the phones name (xtreme device ) to desired one? plz help
Apr 28 at 13:16
use logo changer elf
Apr 29 at 12:41
And of cours set the desired name in the ini file that comes with it.
May 01 at 12:00
Can i use this on a w800i r1bc002 phone?
Can You please tell me anything happens to these patch when i do a master reset?
May 01 at 12:53
To use it on a w800, you will need to flash it to R1BD001.
Master reset has nothing to do with this, because the patch is applied on the main fw. Though it might delete the elf files, so you may need to upload the files again to ZBin folder.
May 02 at 20:03
Hi, can i use the elf on my w580i that is not debranded. The firmware is R7AC001
May 03 at 10:34
Elves are developed for R8BA024 on W580 phones, so you will need to flash both main and fs to r8.
May 04 at 09:18
I have downloaded the K790 R8BF003 ELF patch but I cant find the DYN_CONST.bin file.
Please help! And 1 more thing please correct the spelling of this line:-
In M2 Card (yes, it has to be the memory stick, if you don’t have any, you can’t use the daemon function)
Other/Zbin/”Deamons”<—-Here
Daemons
May 04 at 10:52
Fixed.
About DYN_CONST.bin: try without it, I didn’t have it either, and my phone created it.
May 04 at 12:18
Hi, where do I get ELFPACK Patch (.vkp) and DYN_CONST.bin for K770_r8ba024??? I found the lib.vkp at svn mirror but coldn’t find the other two things. Please help
May 04 at 13:58
I couldn’t find it either. You should post a request at mobilefree.ru/se-nse.com.
May 04 at 14:54
I don’t know how to apply patches:
Then apply the following Elfpack_patch and The Library Patch.
For example consider w610:
First apply ElfPack_w610_Rxx002.vkp patch
Then apply w610_r6bc002.lib.vkp patch
Please someone explain to me…

May 04 at 21:23
Can i use elfpack if i don;t have a memory card..?
May 05 at 11:48
I think yes. It is only necessary for the Daemon thing, the auto-starting elves. So give it a try.
May 05 at 12:50
I uploaded elf to my phone i used logo changer i clicked start but nothing happend??
May 05 at 13:04
Is its ini ok?
Try other elves, too.
May 15 at 09:40
Where can I find the DYN_CONST.bin file for K790_R8BF003? Yes Peti is right it is created by itself but the task manager key is not working(as it should) even if the elves are started. I have tried other DYN_CONSTs of the phones but as soon as I press the task manager button the phone restarts. Also the elfmanager elf is not working at all.
May 15 at 12:33
Isn’t the lib old? I had such problems on W610 R8 because its lib was lame. The R6 lib was being developed only. So first check your lib vkp.
May 17 at 22:17
before i try out elves i want to know if there is any way to get them off incase something goes wrong? so is there cause my w610 almost died once and i don want it to die again
May 18 at 11:38
It’s not enough to say that ELVES are awesome…
May 18 at 14:19
You can delete elf files with a file manager and also remove the installed patches with JDFlasher or SeTool. So it can be undone.
May 19 at 18:23
akshay and peti:why book manager.elf is not working on my k770.many times my phone restarts.and even if it works i m unable select menus.(not having problem with key values)but it never goes to desire option.pls help peti and akhsay i need this elf coz there is no patch for bluetooth minimize for k770.
thanx in advance!
May 20 at 13:58
Those keys are really hard to set, I couldn’t either… I downloaded it from many sites and kept on trying… (w610)
May 20 at 18:29
my book manager problem is solved peti.actually it wasnt related to key values. DYN_CONST.bin file i was using is for db2010 phone.many guys having these problem bcoz in elfpack on mobilefree.ru they have given DYN_CONST.bin for w810.not for db2020!
about the key values,u can easily find each key value of ur phone using key code.elf n then just make desire changes in bookmanager.ini file.
even one can use internet key shortcut to start bookmanager.elf,becoz bookmanager on shortcut key is really annoying.u have to press it twice to go to shortcuts in phone’s default task manger.
May 21 at 12:58
Sure but that internet key is walkman key on my phone.
May 22 at 08:49
I have downloaded the mini gps 1.15 elf. It contains a folder src.
Where do i put that other elfs also have src.
If I put the under 1 folder say ini then they are getting replaced.
I mean say you first copy the src of mini gps and then copy the src of silence on elf then the many files with the same names are getting replaced.
May 22 at 12:46
src is short for Source. That is the source code for the elf, it is for elf evelopers, written in c. You don’t need to upload them.
May 29 at 07:49
Where can I find the DYN_CONST.bin file for K790_R8BF003? or is it even available for R8BF003 FS?? ’cause ihave now only 2 files the :
1)ElfPack_k790_bf003.vkp and 2)k790_r8bf003.lib.vkp
But no DYN_CONST.bin!!!!!!!!
And tell mee are all the Elves Independent of FW?!
May 29 at 13:06
I didn’t have DYN_CONST.bin on my w610, the phone created it…
The elf apps are independent, patches are not.
May 29 at 18:26
hey im geting real wierd problem…after geting R8BF003 fw…i used SETOOL Lite 1.1 for applying Qmaker Patch(for bypassing db2020 security)..but during last few seconds of completion of patching iget message saying “Some Values Differ,Do yo want to continue”…i click yes and then patching is done in few seconds….
N Now when i try to turn on fone it ain switching on…..igot no clue y it ain??
ihav tried it twice n same thing happens….so ineed to den flash FS again to turn on fone.
……………………………………………………………..
May 31 at 13:33
hey akshay/peti ……

[START_KEY]: 0×24;
[KEY_MODE]: 0×03;

volume down or play/pause button …… but nothing happened ……
also switching on bookmanager is necessarry for screenshooter ???
thanks.
May 31 at 16:58
hey pratik. there is an elf that shows the key codes for all phones when key is pressed.
use that elf to find out the keys.
May 31 at 18:25
I added keycodes to the tutorial.
Akshay, how could you start sleepmode? I can’t apply its patch. :’(
May 31 at 18:58
ok good job.
sleepmode ??
its an elf.. use it like others.
if it requires updated library and elfpack then remove both the library and elfpack patches and apply the new updated versions of the elfpack and library patches.
for me the sleep mode works… i don’t know remember which versions… coz i recently re flashed phone completely.
now waiting for updated elfpacks which i will apply directly.
May 31 at 19:15
Sleepmode comes with a lib patch which I try to install but then JDFlasher goes mad, error message, can’t copy file. And can’t shutdown jdf either.
My lib is the newest. Elfpack vkp also gets updated? :O
Jun 04 at 08:23

Hey where do i get the vkp patch for s500i?
R8BA024,
EROM: R3A022
cid 52 DB2020
Jun 14 at 09:57
mobilefree.ru has no s500 r8 patches, I suppose they are rare, so you better flash back to r6bc002 and use these: http://mobilefree.ru/newbb_plus/viewtopic.php?topic_id=2709
Jun 14 at 10:07
If you mean elves, first crossflash to W580-R8BA024, then you can use them. There are no elves for s500.
Jun 15 at 16:13
Why cant i use elves on my s500i without crossflashing to w580i?
Jun 15 at 16:19
No body will ever make elfpack for S500 or k610 and such phones.
everyone that has a S500 cross flashes to w580.
According to me and everyone in SE Flashing community, its stupid to have a S500 and not flash it to w580i
LOL !! Common bro, cheer up and flash it.
Jun 15 at 17:09
Hmmm…. ok.. I might flash my hp when i find some free time.. Lol.. Sad though. Btw wats the function of customization pack mentioned in ur crossflashinf s500i to w580i? And im not sure which FS to select..
And if i want to flash to w580i, i want u make sure it has all the best drivers available. Currently im using dmitogor 1.2 acoustic pack and it really rockz….
Jun 15 at 20:24
Custpack sets some variables in the phone so that it can work. Without it the phone is useless. Custpack tells the phone which languages it can use, which is the earliest time it can be set to, which is the phone’s name etc.
Jul 01 at 12:13
akshay my accoustic or cam driver elf is not working. I edited my ini files. Still they are not working. I have even made proper folders.
The elf is activated but when i press cam focus button nothing happens. If u have applied that elf. Can u pls send me ur edited ini
files. I will edit mine accordingly. And the call recorder also dosen’t work. It gets activated but how to use it.
Jul 01 at 13:03
oh sorry, i am not using that elf.
btw yogesh which phone ?
you are right it may be a problem in the INI file.
I use only 2 Elves. Bookman and LogoChanger. LOL.
Jul 01 at 18:06
well. i gotta same reply from peti. I might need to consult russians I hope. By the way akshay how to use logo changer i have edited my ini file but still dosent work. pls send me ur ini file. Common man I use a w610i. I thought u wuld remember my phone. Any way happy modding.
Jul 01 at 22:58
I use SleepMode 1.28 too, I can only suggest it, wonderful with my own ini.
About LogoChanger, place ini in Other/ini/jasiek folder as logo.ini.
The ini I have on the other site should work.
Jul 05 at 00:54
This may be off topic right but ive already modded everything on my w610 i im wondering now if theres is something that will allow me to change the way my fone vibrates? like to change the vibration style? Is there?
Jul 05 at 09:54
I’ve never heard of it, but you can ask for such elf at mobilefree.ru.
