Applying Patches
Jan 12
UPDATE: Sony Ericsson Update Service links removed, Don’t Update your phone with SEUS.
In this tutorial we discuss how to apply patches
Using patches you can improve the features of your phone and also change the graphics of the phone. You can remap folders in FS to phone memory and change acoustics, camera drivers and other stuff easily. With patches you can also disable many messages and bypass them to continue. For example you can bypass the “Insert handsfree message” to start the radio without the handsfree. And many more.
Patch is a piece of code which is applied to the Main firmware. By Applying a patch the parts of main firmware are modified. Main firmware consists of many flash blocks. Each flash block has an address and information stash. A patch is applied to a particular flash block to change the variables and codes in the flash block. A patch contains the address of the flash block to be patched and the code to be changed in a flash block
Patching with db2020 bypass security takes lots of time. Hence den_po came with the idea of quick access patch and implemented in his Jdflasher. Which was then taken by the_laser and implemented in his Setool 2 lite.
db2020 phones are k530 k550 k610 k770 k790 k800 k810 and w580 w610 w660 w710 w830 w850 w880 etc.
Patches for firmwares are available here english or here russian
I have included the video tutorials in the Setool 2 lite download archive. Here we have the text tutorial with explanations of actions and important information.
The Tutorial
Direct Download Setool 2 lite
Alternate Mirror Download Link.
UPDATE: SEUS now updates all phones to CID53 hence disabling SeTool 2 lite and XS++ support for your phone. So Do Not update your phone with SEUS. SEUS was used to install USB Flash drivers, now we have to manually do this.
Hence now Please follow this tutorial to install USB Flash drivers !
2. Shutdown phone. Reinsert battery.
3. Choose Your phone in Phone type. Click Read GDFS.
4. Connect phone to Setool 2 lite holding C.
5. Wait for few seconds. Leave C when phone is detected.
6. When Setool is done it says “Elapsed:xx secs” , Then unplug phone. Reinsert Battery.
Note: Backup of GDFS to be made only for the first time. Backup GDFS once with Setool 2 lite and also once with XS++ if you have not done yet. Then store your GDFS safely. You can also go through GDFS backup in tutorial section for more on gdfs.
In phone Model you can choose any db2020 model .. if you have a k770 .. you can choose phone model as w610 or w880 or any db2020 phone mentioned earlier !!
Apply Quick Access Patch
First we enable quick access patching for your firmware using db2020 security bypass and from then on apply other patches using quick access patch.
Drag and Drop your Main Firmware on qamaker.exe , it will generate the quick access patch .vkp for your firmware. Qamaker is included in the Setool 2 lite download archive.
Note. Download the Main firmware for your phone from Topse.ru if you don’t have. Or Goto Contact Section of this website and make a request for the Main firmware for your phone. I will get back to you.
Now start SeTool 2 Lite
In Files box click add and add the main firmware you used to generate quick access patch.
Now in Misc Files click ‘….’ and add the quick access vkp patch generated.
Check Bypass db2020 Security ! Press Flash. Reinsert Battery and connect phone holding C. Leave C when phone gets detected and operation starts. Wait for db2020 security bypass operations
When done setool 2 lite asks you to unplug phone, reinsert battery, Press READY and then connect phone holding C. Do it in order, Correctly.
SeTool 2 lite Flashes the Main. When main is flashed it starts to apply the patch.
It asks you to Click NO to apply the patch and YES To Remove the Patch. Hence Click No. Wait for a few minutes. Patching will complete and you have successfully applied the quick access patch.
Once you applied quick access patch you apply all other patches by the method given below
Patching
Now get patches from mobilefree.ru (from here) . Patch is basically a text code.
Find out patches for your firmware. If your firmware is a w610 R6BC002 then look out for w610 R6BC002 patches.
Copy the code in notepad and click ’save as’ and in Save as type choose >> ‘All Files’ and then save it as >> patchname.vkp give any name of your choice
Start Setool 2 lite. Select Phone Model. Check use “quick access” patch.
In Misc Files click ‘….’ and select the patch that you want to apply. the patch that you just now saved as patchname.vkp
Click Write Script.
Reinsert battery and connect phone holding C, Leave C when phone is ready . Then setool 2 lite asks you to click No to apply the patch and click yes to remove the patch. Hence click no. If it says some patch values differs then click yes and continue applying the patch.
The patch will be then applied. After patching is done setool 2 lite says .vkp executed disconnect phone reinsert battery and start your phone.
Also go through the video tutorials included in the setool 2 lite 1.1 archive. !
You must also know how to extract an FS because some patches require that you place some files in M2 Card. Such as to use a patch that replaces /tpa/preset/system/desktop to /usb/other/flash
you must first create folder “flash” in Other folder in phone using file manager and then copy the contents of FS/tpa/preset/system/desktop To /usb/other/flash and then apply the patch or else phone might fail to start the menu !!
So Learn to Extract an FS from here and study the FS of a phone
Links For Patches !!!!!!!! Firmware Specific !
NOTE: There are problems if you access the russian sites using google translator, the code that you copy is copied twice over. So while copying codes use the russian version of the sites.
K530 SW-R8BB001
K550 SW-R8BA024
K610 SW-R1KG001
K770 SW-R8AA018
K790 SW-R1GB001
K790 SW-R6BC002
K790 SW-R1KG001
K790 SW-R1JC002
K800 SW-R1KG001
K800 SW-R8BA024
K810 SW-R6BC002
W580 SW-R6BC002
W580 SW-R8BA024
W610 SW-R6BC002
W610 SW-R8BA024
W660 SW-R8BB001
W710 SW-R1GB001
W710 SW-R1JC002
W850 SW-R1JG001
W850 SW-R1KG001
W880 SW-R8BA024
Z610 SW-R6DA001
Z610 SW-R1ED001
Important >> Always press correct button. Many have killed their phones by pressing Write GDFS instead of Write Script. See that you press Write SCRIPT button while patching !
Note : If you make a mistake, your phone will mostly get bricked ! In that case you should reflash your main with XS++ or SeTool 2 lite ! If Your phone is completely dead when no Tool like XS++ or SeTool 2 lite can detect it or when red light blinks ! Red Light blink problem can be fixed ! Please be careful and don’t use wrong files and wrong button !
For applying sysgrafix path use JDflasher, Its faster and better in every respect and ease of use once you used it 
!
That’s it folks !

When I download Setool 2 lite, my anti-virus program says that application contains viruses and it’s dangerous 4 computer…
Jan 20 at 20:46
yes some anti virus hv problems with setool 2 . its mentioned even at the official site
disable all anitvirus while using setool 2lite.. ! i am serious .. if anti virus stops setool 2 lite in between of patching and unlocking the phone will be bricked.
Setool 2 lite is no virus . its safe . its go no virus in it. its used by many to unlock phones and debrand.

I need Main Firmware for my K790 R1KG001 FS S ASIA LEVAN RED52 phone which am unable to download from topse.ru site. can anyone provide me the firmware
Jan 23 at 08:54
hey man download R6BC002 .. its the latest firmware for k790 and flash that in the phone using xs++, and u can apply patch for it. R1KG001 is pretty old.. you can download it from cybershot.4shared.com
or wait let me see what i can do
Jan 23 at 18:17
Hey man i used w580 today i applied a patched named move_flash_to_other.vkp after dat how can i use flash menus on MS ?My previous flash menus not working after applied dat patch any idea or suggestion ?
Jan 23 at 18:33
well ..!! the patch would have moved the flash folder from FS to M2 card or phone memory
you must now download all flash menus and copy them to phone memory where the patch says
if patch says something like this.. then copy all flash menus to flash folder in other folder
usb/other/flash.
Jan 25 at 12:14
Am unable to use qamaker.exe, u said to drag and drop main firmware on to qamaker so that it generates .vkp file. i’ve done the same but there wont be any response from the application even after dropping the firmware file. if i press enter the qamamker.exe is closing
Jan 25 at 15:20
then do it in DOS ..!! using command linke interface
like this qamaker.exe firmware.mbn .. it worked for me and many others .. plzz !!
u must drag correct main file the .mbn file .. unrar it first ..!

Jan 26 at 19:10
simple sumegh i replied via mail ;)!
Jan 31 at 15:46
I have a locked K550i that I want to unlock and patch to w610i. Should I apply the unlock patch first, then apply the w610i patch, or the other way round? Thanks!
Jan 31 at 16:18
There is no need for unlocking it before flashing, because by flashing you flash the firmware that you could unlock.
So first flash it to w610i as http://www.akshayy.com/sonyericsson/crossflashing/flash-k550-to-w610/ says, and then follow this tutorial and apply Quick Access Patch. Then create the vkp patch to unlock your main firmware with the same mbn file you used to flash to w610i: http://www.akshayy.com/sonyericsson/tutorials/unlock-db2020-se-phones/
Then apply it as this tutorials says.
Is this clear?
Feb 01 at 18:24
I have tried to patch my k810i to increase my sms ringing time to 60 sec.
but since then when ever i try to write a new message it gets hanged.
pleasse HELP.
PLEASE HELP FAST
Feb 01 at 18:27
Also is it time to back up from gdfs?
HELP FAST PLEASE
Feb 01 at 18:33
you can gdfs backup now also no prob
to get rid of your problem .. remove patch .. apply patch again .. then setool 2 aks weather u want to apply patch or remove.. select remove … or reflash main
Feb 01 at 23:31
Wow, I thought I can only remove by reflashing main. So cool I don’t have to.
Feb 02 at 03:24
Hi Akshay, I have tried removing the patch(still getting stuck while writing new message). I then tried restoring the GDFS. But the problem still persists. What should i do?
I have one more GDFS backup of my mobile made 2 days ago. Can i use that also and try?
Also what did you mean by reflash main?
Feb 02 at 05:54
oisik adak .. so now there is only one way to fix it
reflash main .. you should not unnecessarily do gdfs write
to flash main .. follow this tutorial .. the video one
but remember flash only main .. don’t do FS and Custpack flash .. the video shows all .. main fs and custpack flash .. but you flash only main
Feb 02 at 05:55
this is the link to flash main tutorial

Feb 03 at 21:54
hi when i copy and paste a patch from the russian site, Russian, not the google translation version
I Save as type choose “all files” then name it “anything.vkp”
what about the other option below that, Encoding does that stay as ANSI or what? as a pop up window opens up and says this file contains characters in unicode which will be lost if saved in ANSI encoded text file.
or is that correct
cheers.
Feb 04 at 00:01
Everytime i flash the 1st time with db020 it kills the phone
I have now reinstlled via seus 3 times now
and no idea where i am going wrong
i am following the tutorials but after the 1st flash the phone wont switch on
could someone help me please
u r very kind
Many thanks
Feb 04 at 05:59
^^^^
wot have u xactly done ???
first step is 2 update via seus.
den install usb flash drivers if necessarry.
after this, u can customize ur phone ,
add patches …..
if nothin works , the do a full reflash of ur phone
i.e reflashing main , fs & den customizing fs.
Feb 04 at 09:39
ok i have updated zeus. then flashed with main, fs and custompack with xs+
i have then tried to apply patch via setools with vkp.
atvthis stage everything goes ok in lef hand window but can not turn phone on after
Feb 04 at 11:50
UNICODE or ANSI encoding .. does not affect the patch .. save as anyhing ..!!
jim why should phone turn on if you don’t flash main immediately after bypass . i seriously don’t know mistake you are doing .. this works very well .. its not working only for you ..
Feb 04 at 11:58
jim! Did you use the correct patch? Is your main firmware’s version the same as the patch’s? (W610i R6BC002 and apply ‘Patch for W610i R6BC002′, the phone type and the firmware version must match)
And if it refuses to start, then flash main again.
Feb 04 at 11:59
How do i put animations in my k810 music player? ….. … Is there any patch or something…..?
Feb 04 at 12:20
how can one increase the sms memory in the phone. w610i can only support approx 800 odd messages. is there a patch for increasing the memory capacity.
Feb 04 at 12:54
K810 Music player is not walkman, therefore it does not support skins. You can only patch its main firmware to change its background, but it needs png format, so no animations allowed (AFAIK).
I doubt that you could increase the sms memory, but I suggest using MyPhoneExplorer, which can store your messages on your PC.
Feb 04 at 13:01
i have k550i flashed with w610i firmware main fs and custompack is rcboo2 just like it says on my phone
i flashed this with sx++
with the firmware i have i use qamaker to make quick access vkp
the same firmware i use simunlock to generate vkp file
i open setools and tick bypass button and add quick access vkp
secondly i add vkp unlock patch (with this bootloader doesnt start up)
thats what i am doing
Feb 04 at 13:30
I have a locked K550i that I want to transform to w610i and then unlock. When should I backup GDFS? Straightaway or after changing to w610i firmware? Thanks very much.
Feb 04 at 14:10
its working now thankyou veryu much everyone
Akshay you are a star
Feb 04 at 14:13
Jim! What was the problem??! (what did you do?)
(before flashing main)
rs! You should follow the K550i->W610i CrossFlashing tutorial, and as it says, backup GDFS after updating with SEUS.
Feb 04 at 16:31
Is there any patch or any thing… that wil password protect my keypad lock or password protect my menus in k810?…
Feb 04 at 22:46
Thanks for the guide, quite clear akshay.
followed quick guide to unlock k610i on 3 netweork. Changed sim to see if unlocked, getting message that insert correct sim(different to before locking as it was saying insert usim)?
So is the k610i not unlockabkle
Feb 05 at 08:58
you are doing some mistake … this is no quick tutorial .. its full and detailed .. read and unlock your phone …. as i said .. this unlocks any db2020 phone .. and your phone is a db2020 phone.
please don’t tell tis does work .. this how patch unlocking of phones is done [;)]
Feb 05 at 19:00
Sorry, i meant quick access patch instead of the “quick quide”
Feb 06 at 15:07
Thank you Akshay. Excellent tutorial. The process a bit long for the first timer. It works!!
One question, It is necessary to apply the quick access patch ? and not just the second part patch. The reason I said this is during the 2nd part, it did not report any difference in the patches. Your tutorial says click yes to apply the diferences.
Feb 06 at 17:30
if u don’t apply quick access then applying patch will take 20-25 minutes extra which will drain phone battery and phone will shutdown in between patching process .. !!
Feb 06 at 20:12
hey gfx patches are taking a long time…….. i mean a patch around 30 kb takes 5 minutes… ne faster way…?
Feb 07 at 09:05
ok ….. we will write JD flasher tutorial .. it does it quick
Feb 07 at 18:42
Akshay, just top let u know i’ve unlocked the k610i, did not do the 2nd part of the tutorial. Many thanks for a great tutorial
Feb 08 at 11:54
Thanks for reporting .. congrats
Feb 09 at 23:19
Yo man, tnx for yur tu2rials, it works 2me.
i hav a question.
If i gonna patch for a second time, shall i again do the whole process of patchin?
Or just the quick access.
I already patchd my phone but its already quite sometym…
Hopin 4 yu answer.
Feb 10 at 05:58
yes right .. just quick access this time as its said in tutorial .. !!
Feb 18 at 15:52
I exactly followed the tutorial but my Dutch T-Mobile W880i is not unlocked.
I did find out I had to keep “2″ pressed instead of “c”. Took me a day…
What could be wrong?
Feb 25 at 13:02
i using K810i … can teach me how to patch mega bass to my phone …
Feb 25 at 13:30
Oops Martin sorry for late reply .. saw your comment now !!
you should not press 2 .. but C !!
yes you can .. just put the main firmware R8BA024 in phone and apply patch after reading patching tutorial .. !
may be i should really create patches for all firmwares instead of only for new ones .. but time .. !! damn .. lets see !
Feb 26 at 00:23
OMFG… I DID THE FLASH , BUT ONLY BROSED FOR THE PATCH FILE. THEN WENT I FINISHED FLASHING, MY PHONE TOTALLY SCREWED UP!!!!!!! SOMEONE HELP MEEEEEE
Feb 26 at 09:21
Jim that sucks
now do a full reflash of MAIN !
If possible flash FS and Custpack also !!
Feb 27 at 16:26
one more query for w610i, Will patches for r8b2024 work on 002 series. coz there are some gfx patches available and they are really cool. pls reply.
Feb 27 at 16:30
just delete setting file .. no backup … ! just do it .. don’t question
if you extracted an fs u will know.. settings files are created again when deleted
as i have said patches are Firmware Specific .. i repeat it here again .. !
w660 has 3g instead of Edge .. ! we have done our tests ..
Feb 28 at 04:31
my phone is R6BC002. k550i with a w610 main and K550 FS wich patches can i apply? w610?
Feb 28 at 04:34
would this work for me?
http://topse.ru/files/file5726.html
Feb 28 at 08:38
hey now your phone is w610 .. everything that applies for w610 applies for your phone … because of w610 main … !! simple !
Feb 29 at 15:57
thanks i got confused cuz setool tells me k550 then i didnt now wich to take :/ =)
Mar 01 at 15:44
hi there mate i have a sony ericsson k810i and i wanna unblock it because it is now blocked. Can you tellme how to unblock it please. thanks man
Mar 01 at 16:29
K810 is a DB2020 model. Therefore it needs the Quick-Access Patch and the SIMunlock patch. So first acquire a firmware for it (K810 Main, FS is not necessary but to avoid compatibility issues I suggest that you should flash FS, too).
Once you have that (and backed up contacts and data in the phone), flash the main and the FS. Then follow you follow this tutorial, generate the Quick-Access patch and apply it on the phone. And then generate the SIMunlock patch with this tutorial: http://www.akshayy.com/sonyericsson/tutorials/unlock-db2020-se-phones/ .
To backup contacts you should use MyPhoneExplorer.
Mar 08 at 03:21
hey hi all!

hey akshayy! tried using the sysgraphics tutorial was partly successful. However after imagetool imageprocessing is complete,the image cannot be replaced using replace image tool. A dialog box appears saying that the file exceeds size limit::in bytes.
can u hellp???
Mar 08 at 18:19
though the new version can replace that also
but its not recommended to use image greater then actual original size
Mar 09 at 13:18
hi i`ve successfully loaded quick launch patch using setool but when i try to flash unlock patch i get following error

thanks for great tutorials
Mar 09 at 13:27
sorry .. try to embedded boot loader ? are you sure you are following things correctly ??
if nothing is going right then Reflash Entire Main and FS and Custpack and then again start from first
Mar 09 at 13:38
thanks for quick reply will try full system flash from start. the above post referred to the last two lines shown in the left window of setool when i attempted to flash unlock.
Mar 09 at 14:27
Flash Unlock ??

hey i have a problem with setool, the gdfs reading is taking ages to backup? can some1 help me out here. i am using a sim free w580i, its been going on for more than 30 mins and still nothing is happening??????
Mar 16 at 00:11
Maybe try backing up with XS++… Though it shouldn’t take more than a few minutes. :S
Mar 16 at 08:16
i need a help… fter following all d instruction my fone went dead…and it wont run on se tool again, waht should i do…my fone is w580i from at and t tnx
Mar 16 at 10:12
You should be more exact… You applied a patch and now the phone can’t start? Well that happens sometimes, bad patch most likely. Try reflashing main (with XS++).
Mar 16 at 12:52
hey jecoric .. show your log
it happens if you do some mistake ! so now reflash main and it should get back alive ! Nothing to worry !
Mar 16 at 18:20
hi akshayy!
is there any way to apply patches to main while it is on the computer and then put the main into the phone with xs++ and the patches is there?
Mar 16 at 18:31
With the software we have… no. But we can apply patches on the phone and with SeTool2 - read flash, so download main firmware from the phone. Next time that can be flashed to another phone. (AFAIK)
Mar 16 at 18:34
you can apply patch to main on computer
but after you flash that main into phone and start your phone for first time with new main ! all blocks of main are checked !
its a check summed variable in EROM settings so phone won’t start at all
Mar 16 at 18:47
So if I uploaded a file that SeTool2 read from flash chips, that would kill my phone?
Mar 17 at 04:52
tnx for ur concern… but can pls tell me on how to do dat, wat program will i use? tnx again
Mar 17 at 05:51
one more thing i have a R7AC001 firmware, wat other firmware can i use cuase i cant find any thesame as mine…tnx!!!!
Mar 17 at 12:03
do what ? you can’t do it … phone wont start in that case ! use the currently available firmware for your phone .. availble on topse russia ! latest come there !
Mar 17 at 16:12
my hp is w580i
i need » R6BC002 » FS and MAIN > taiwan

Mar 23 at 13:49
Follow the patching tutorial as you did when you applied the patch. When Setool 2 lite asks you to click No to apply the patch and click yes to remove the patch, click YES. That’s all.

Mar 24 at 16:46

http://forums.se-nse.net/index.php?showtopic=20434&st=80&start=80
Mar 24 at 19:39
Rana. Don’t post 3 comments at once. You need to download XS++, K790_R6BC002_GENERIC_MAIN, K790_R6BC_ASIA_LEVAN_FS, and a custpack for K790. The problem is that I can’t find such files for your region. :S So you shuld download http://seflashing.extra.hu/?mode=dlSoft&name=XS31.ZIP , Main and FS should be downloaded from topse.ru, download K790 R6BC002 FS AMERICA 2 RED52, no prob, you just have to add your language to it.. As for custpack you can use http://sek750.extra.hu/letoltes/Custom%20Files/K790/HB1-06_Gen_CDA102568_207_R2A_GENERIC_CENT_EUROPE.zip (I couldn’t find any other custpack for k790). Now before messing things up, backup your contacts and files with My Phone Explorer. Then extract the custpack to XS++’ directory in a new dir, called ‘own_custpack’. Follow http://www.akshayy.com/sonyericsson/pimping/add-extra-languages/ to add your own language to the custpack, modify the customize.xml.
If that is done, start XS++, backup GDFS.
If that is done, then tick and select the main firmware and the FS, tick ‘Customize Filesystem’, there select own_custpack; and click Flash. Ask if something isn’t clear.
yogesh. You want us to port that patch to R8BA024?? Pretty hard work, but may be possible… for Akshay to do.XD

@Peti:
Thanx a ton for a quick reply.
Mar 27 at 11:27
“When done setool 2 lite asks you to unplug phone, reinsert battery, Press READY and then connect phone holding C. Do it in order, Correctly.”
I done it wrongly…
I reinsert battery,connect phone holding C, then only press ready…
So, do my patch still works after i done all the steps??? Btw, i did the megabass for this patch…
Mar 27 at 13:35
If SeTool continued, then it means that it installed the patch all right. I did the same with JDFlasher, and it was waiting for me to connect the phone (though it was online), so I unplugged, reinserted battery and then reconnected, and it worked.
If you could apply the MegaBass, or any other patch, then don’t worry, it is ok then.
Mar 27 at 13:41
yea…SeTool continue it’s work although i didn’t follow the order. I guess it patch successfully….
Anyway, thanks for all the help and guide =)
Mar 27 at 13:43
np. =)
If SeTool doesn’t cry that it can’t do the patching, then it is ok. But use JDFlasher, it is much faster.
Mar 28 at 05:15
Peti, after i patch my phone. Now my phone don’t have chinese input anymore :”)
What i should i do now?
I read some where that chinese input need different Main firmware. Is it thue?
Mar 28 at 05:16
typo:
true*
Mar 28 at 13:20
You mean you patched with SeTool and then it lost the chinese input but it had it before?:O What patch was it?
Also if you mean that you flashed the main to a generic one, then yes, I also read that you need a chinese firmware to have chinese input.
So patch or flash?
Mar 29 at 11:58
My phone originaly has chinese input. But after i followed every steps on the tutorial above, now my phone don’t have chinese input anymore =(
I flash with this one”K550_R6BC002_MAIN_GENERIC_LI_RED52.rar”.
So, what is the steps needed to have chinese input again and my megabass patch still work?
Mar 29 at 16:56
You have to obtain a CHINESE main firmware (mbn file). You have to flash that file on the phone. The patch you could use on the GENERIC one won’t work any longer since each patch works for only one firmware version.
Mar 30 at 10:52
ok…so do you have a megabass for chinese MAIN?
Mar 31 at 18:50
um i crossflahed my k550 to w610 n my phone is alwready unlocked 2 use any network but i saw some cool patches i would like on my phone so in order 2 do this do i still have 2 check the bypass security? even though my phone is unlocked? oh yea i cant back up gdfs in setool since i crossflashed =) it takes forever is that a bad thing? i have a back up of the original k550i gdfs though
Mar 31 at 19:36
You have to bypass security only once, to apply Quick-Access Patch. If it takes forever, then don’t do it.
(Use XS++ if you have to backup GDFS, but you don’t even have to. 
)
Mar 31 at 19:38
do i really need 2 apply quick access patch all i want 2 do really is apply a brightness patch 2 help save battery
Mar 31 at 19:42
You have to do it only once, and I think you have applied it already, after than’t you can tick ‘Use “quick access” patch’, and only apply the patch you really want.
Apr 03 at 19:28
I found a patch that converts bluetooth so that i can use it as wifi. http://walkmans.wordpress.com/2008/01/27/bluetoot-to-wifi-gfx-patch-w580i-r6bc002/. I am not sure if this is true. Please reply if you know that it is possible or not. Thank You in advance
Apr 03 at 19:40
That is actually pretty far from making BT Wi-Fi, it is just a GFX patch, that means the icons for Bluetooth will be replaced with different icons, in some connection with wi-fi, but only graphic things, no extra function is added.
Apr 03 at 21:11
Oh, is it even possible to get wi fi on phone that does not have wi fi, using a patch or something? Do you know if there is a way to get free internet on a phone? Thanks
Apr 04 at 05:09
If I knew, my phone would have Wi-Fi all right.
Apr 06 at 17:52
Is it possible to apply patches to a branded phone?
Apr 06 at 19:08
Yes, patches are applied on the main firmware, and branding is on the file system. But why would you use a branded phone if you can debrand it? =)
Apr 06 at 23:58
So that i dont lose warranty!! And also there is always a risk of messing up your phone while debranding. Is there a tutorial that shows how to apply patches to a branded phone? Thanks
Apr 07 at 05:25
You lose the warranty anyway. You flash the phone with underground tools, not SEUS. So warranty is gone. But this is the tutorial you are looking for.
Apr 07 at 18:46
I could always remove the patch and they wont even notice it was there right? Will adding new walkman skins lose warranty? And what warranty do i lose exactly, Sony Ericsson or AT&T?
Apr 07 at 18:51
By the way, what exactly is the point of debranding when you could apply patches and other stuff while it is branded?
Apr 07 at 18:53
Sorry but one more question, i went onto your new website that you made and realized that there were no patches for w580i, can i use the w610 patches on the w580i?
Apr 08 at 05:33
Once you do anything in the phone and not use SEUS… you lose warranty, as far as I know. Because you break the license agreement with SE, so warranty of SE.
Service providers add their stuff to the phone. Pictures, animations, sounds etc. you can get rid of them.
You can’t!! Patches are Firmaware (And phone type) dependent!
Apr 15 at 17:11
Hi, i am trying to download the firmaware patch for my Sony Ericcson k770i.
It is currently locked and i wish to unlock it and debrand it but can’t find matching firmware. It’s on R8BC004 at the moment. Does anyone have the patch for this.
Apr 15 at 17:48
sorry, actually you can use the firmware that is now already available.. no problems with that

Hi akshay,
Do u know where can i find patches to change battery meter for k770 SW R8BA024?
Or do u hv any?
Apr 19 at 06:13
you can’t find for k770 i think so. i mean sysgfx patch
but you can download icons used in making patches for w580 or k810 or k790. because even k770 has same screen size
and using those icons you can create sysgfx patch using SE Image Tool
there is a tutorial to use it in this site. just search se image tool
Apr 21 at 17:50
hi ya
when i switched on my phone updating from S500I To W580I

I got problem when i want to put vkp file to my k530@w660 with setool v1.1.
I already got all da vkp files and follow the tutorial but it say “Bootloader not respond”.
What should i do to put vkp file to my phone?
Can someone help me?
Thanx for advance.
*Sorry for my terrible english.
Apr 23 at 15:14
eLModoes does your phone now start or not ? is it working ??
and i hope you are choosing correct phone. choose it as w610 or w660 or k550 or k530 and follow tutorial correctly
if not this then use JD flasher
Apr 24 at 23:37
I think i patched too many things on my w610i. Now i cannot access the calls menu and when an incoming call is coming through the phone either freezes or blanks out. Is this the case? and if so is there any way that i can take off all the patches that i put on?
Apr 25 at 12:19
to clear everything. reflash main using XS++.
else remove patches one by one
remember by reflashing main all is gone. you need to patch from start. QA also
Apr 25 at 23:51
so if i reflash my main all the patches wiill be gone and my phone will work properly again?
Apr 25 at 23:52
also i founds a certain patch that i like
if i reflash it will i still be able to put this patch on
Apr 26 at 05:24
If you reflash main, and apply Quick Access patch (on db2020), you will be able to put any patch on. (What is the phone by the way?)
Apr 26 at 06:21
hey i have a problem in applying quick access patch.. when i plug my phone after clicking write script my phone automatically turns on..tnx..
Apr 26 at 09:10
strange. you are not connecting phone properly
or not applied QA patch properly
Apr 26 at 13:27
thanks akshayy i did what u said and reflashed my w610i and that did it. I was also able to put the quick access patch back on and now i have a working phone and the patches that i like. Thanks Alot!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Apr 27 at 02:55
Can I use this tutorial for unlocking K850i??
Apr 27 at 09:20
K850 is a DB3150 model, not DB2020 that the tutorial is for. In fact, currently you can’t do anythning (any flashing - customizing - pimping) with a K850.
Apr 29 at 00:11
hey does anyone know were i can get a folders patch for a w610i r6bc002?
Apr 29 at 08:50
hey are available at mobile free russia. link is provided in the tutorial
Apr 29 at 12:44
Though we should provide our own stuff, too.
Apr 29 at 18:21
Hey, thanks again for the great guide. I patched the ‘megabass’ and it worked like a charm
Here’s a question. After I put in the ‘megabass’ patch, then I want to put another patch, lets say ‘radio without headset’ patch, do I have to generate new quick access patch via qamaker? Or maybe flash/bypass DB2020 security again? Thanks in advance. Really appreciate it
Apr 29 at 19:25
Nope, I think the tutorial tells it. You only have to generate and apply QAP once. Before starting patching. Now that it is applied, you can apply any patch you like.
Apr 30 at 05:07
Oh okay. Now I get it
however, after I applied the megabass patch, I applied the other patch ‘radio without headset’. But it seems like the patch is not working. It still says ‘please insert handset the cord work as antenna’ thingy. Now the broken patch is inside my phone 
is there any way to view what patches that I have applied inside the phone? Does the broken patch harm the phone if I applied the same patch again?
Apr 30 at 10:55
s500i to w580i-> done
flashed skins of walkman -> done (all ofem are cool)
fonts-> not done
increasing the volume->not done
please provide the links above which are not done.
great tutorial thanks!
Apr 30 at 12:34
Li Syaoran. either patch is incorrect or you selected wrong patch
removing patch is same as applying but you have to click no during appplying patch when it asks .. read this same tutorial properly.
Apr 30 at 14:54
Never mind. The radio patch works (using JDFlasher to patch) but it still need its antenna (handsfree) to play, else it will say ‘no channel found’. Thanks alot to Akshay and Peti. Both of you are really helpful and amazing. Without you guys, my phone is just a cheap stock phone
Oh and Akshay. Its yes to remove, no to apply. Not yes to apply, no to remove
Apr 30 at 16:17
Sadly applied patches can’t be viewed, but you can always remove them. Besides, if you try to apply a new patch to the same place in the phone, you will notice that it has changed since flashing the main on…
Apr 30 at 17:32
Li Syaron ! Thanks for correcting me. I used SeTool 2 lite only Once to apply patches.
I always use JD Flahser, its faster easier and cool. but many ppl don’t like the old blue dos like far manager.
Apr 30 at 18:02
Yeah. Too bad the patches can’t be viewed. I like to use JDFlasher too. Much more easier for me. Don’t care about the blue dos
again, thanks Akshay and Peti 
Apr 30 at 18:45
I hate the blue dos UI to be honest, but I do know that JDFlasher is far more powerful than SeTool2, so I use it. Though someone should ask den_po to port it to Total Commander as wfx plugin.

Plz, waitin 4 ur reply……
May 05 at 11:47
It doesn’t matter. The lines starting with semicolon ( ; ) are comment lines, so SeTool2 or JDFlasher doesn’t care about them. Though you’d better take the whole text, because comments are valuable when you don’t know what the patch does.
May 05 at 17:13

Open its customize.xml file. With notepad or something. There check if the details match your phone (phone type and languages mainly).
May 11 at 07:52
thanks guys….the flashing and things went ok but there is a problem….after i flashing the main when it comes time to write the script….my phone goes in to the file transfer mode….even when connecting with the c pressed……please help..
May 11 at 10:50
which phone… what cid ?? what db2020.
usb drivers installed properly ???
ok then try to use JDflasher.
you are surely making some mistake….
all this works flawlessly man
May 13 at 12:30
Hi Akshay,
This is not regarding patching. Do you know how to extract battery info from the phone?.I mean temp: current ect. if there is any tutorial or link to guide. please let me know
May 13 at 14:16
Extract? :O
You can see them when you connect the phone to pc and run MyPhoneExplorer, and also a lot of elves, likke SystemTemp, ClockBattMod display such info.

Helly akshayy
I already learned a lot on this website about unbranding SE-Mobiles. Your site and help is realy great…
…. I have a W880i (T-mobile) without simlock, but with the (dam-) branded menus, which i like to remove.
The basic USB connection works, means i can acces to the Memory stick and transfer some pictures to it..
But…..
I tried to use XS++ and SEtool2lt and i’m not able to get the communication between PC and Mobile…
I tryed the steps
“Remove battery - insert battery - connect cable - press C button” in every possible order at least 100 times….
-Windows XP don’t ask me for a specific USB driver!
-xs++
–>Error: Cannot open phone communication port
-SEtool
–>phone pre-boot failed,possible
–>Can’t load ID loader !
…. and i am close to throw this p..ce of s..t out of my window…
Could you help me further and save the live of my mobile
May 14 at 17:36
i did not get your problems.
you first install usb flash drivers properly.
then reflash main and fs and cda using XS++
if its is redlight problem then reapir it using setool 2 lite.
May 15 at 08:08
hi akshay
can u give keypad lock password patches for K810i R6BC002
thanks & regards
anil
May 15 at 09:53
Houston we have a problem….
When i do the manipulation….
-Switch off the phone
-switch on and hold “C” while connecting the USB cable… (i tried this in different orders about 100 times)
….my XP computer did not ask for a specific driver and either XS++ / setool work.
But the USB connection itself works, because i can download pictures to the Memorycard over the explorer thru USB.
Thats all about it… anything work like it should
May 15 at 11:44
U r doing it wrong slapshot.just load the drivers into ph. Avail on this site. Then open xs then off ph. , remove battery, insert battery, hold c,connect.it should work if done prop. Otherwise ask master akshay
May 15 at 11:47
Slapshot Connect while holding c.then it must detect.go with tutorials the way they are written,step by step and dont panic
May 15 at 12:28
You are doing it wrong.-.-
Switch off phone.
Remove and reinsert battery.
! Do not switch on.
Connect to pc holding “C”.
May 15 at 15:37
Hi goth / peti / akshayy
i read the tutorials on this site…
I did the connect procedure 100 times, first like it is written here and then in different orders, different speed of manipulation and so on…
@goth
You wrote:
“just load the drivers into ph. Avail on this site”
What, I should load the USB-drivers into the phone (ph.) and not into the PC ????
Now i am realy confused….
Thanks for your help!
May 15 at 16:14
Man jus read a tutorial on ‘installing usb flash drivers’ on this site i would have given the link but dis time em ans. Via mobile browser.dont confuse be straight.
May 15 at 18:06
Flash drivers must be installed on the pc, and read my previous post!!
You mean this site can be viewed with WAP?:O
May 15 at 20:33
wots up with top sony????????
May 16 at 13:20
How long i have to wait between “press C” until connecting the cable?
When i wait about 5 sec. my PC starts the phone monitor and says, that there is no sim-card in the phone… and i have no possibility to continue without sim-card….
When i connect the cable immedately after press C absolutely nothing happens….
cheers
May 16 at 14:00
Top Sony?? -.-
Can you connect it to XS++?
May 16 at 14:48
No, i can not connect to XS++ because the window “missing sim-card” reopen all the time until i un-connect the phone….
I tryed also the whole procedure on a 3rd PC, where i did not have any phone connected before….
…with the same result
and believe me guys… i read all the tutorials more than once….
cheers
May 16 at 18:53
Do you reinsert the battery?
May 16 at 22:45
shure !!! what a question….
i made all the steps
-Remove/insert battery
-Holding “C” while connecting
I just remarked, that the PC did not react the same, when i wait longer (5sec) until i connect….
… PC don’t ask for the driver and xs++ can not open the communicatin port…

so why do we choose 19ca3f0 to change.why cant offsets prior to these or later?and also value of offset 19ca3f0 is firmware dependent.
so while porting these patch for my k770,offset 19ca3f0 has different value rather than 00000000000000000000000000000000.
so at these stage what offset in k770 firmware should i choose to change. how would i come to know the calculation???. what is heap shift? is it related to these ????????
please AKSHAY,PETI OR OTHER PATCH EXPERT,help me.i m dying to port patches for vibra on connect.vkp and minimize bluetooth.vkp for k770.
THANKS IN ADVANCE!

Does the main fw file have to be the same as what is already on your phone? I’ve d/l R1KG001 and when I try to apply quick access patch I get:
Phone CID not supported in that mode
TIA,
Jim

@amit: try installing xp or try using VirtualBox with XP in it.
@Smiley989: mobilefree.ru, and also google can help you.
@MANnDAaR: I’ve never ported such a long patch. I guess the not-zero bytes have some links to the offsets of the zero bytes, but I don’t know.
The bluetooth thingy is possible by the way with BookManager elf.
May 18 at 14:59
I suppose I fixed the broken link, too.
May 18 at 19:54
its still taking forever

hey look this
…………………………………………………………
Here it goes.. The MegaPatch v5
WARNING!!!
Before applying this patch make these folders in your MEMORY STICK!
other/drv/cam
other/drv/snd
And fill them with Acoustic and Cam drivers, otherwise your cam and sound wont work!
You have been WARNED!
………………………………………………..
is that mean that i also have to copy the Acoustic and Cam driver and paste manually in the folder that i made in MEMORY STICK..?
May 19 at 12:44
@Smiley989: those lines are supposed to be saved in a text file with “vkp” extension.
@dect: yes, you can, but if you use generic main (and not china), you lose chinese text input functionality.
@bhuvan: DO NOT USE THIS nigga slang thing, it’s lame and pitiful. Your new phone is probably CID 53, use JDFlasher to upload stuff.
May 19 at 12:58
@Jins: search for MegaBass on this site, you’ll get the tutorial.
@khairil: yes, copy some cam and acoustic drivers there, or else they won’t work.
May 19 at 20:18
thanks
May 19 at 20:29
wat do you use to save them as .vkp? ps i hope i’m not being a bother
May 20 at 03:15
Any ideas on my problem above?

@smiley: I always use Notepad++.
@Jim: you can use different main and fs, but it is more reliable to use same version.
May 20 at 19:04
In which case any idea on why I get that error message?
May 20 at 23:01
Thank you very much! I finally managed to flash my k550, after a couple of mistakes and a couple of frights, but everything worked out just fine in the end.
I just can’t thank you enough!
Best regards from the middle of South America.

I patched with MP4 format video…since then its not working with Quick Time…error displays-
Error-2041 :An invalid sample discription was found in the movie
May 21 at 13:03
@jim: I guess it is the famous Config error, find tutorial for it on this site.
@sreeram: probably it just uses mp4 format as a so called container, and the video and audio streams are encoded differently. Some video players may still play it. Like KMPlayer, I think it could.
May 23 at 03:17
Thanks its working with km player…

m nt able to understand wht do u mean by this….
“Select Phone Model. Check use “quick access” patch.”
what does check use quick access patch means??? plzz help….
May 23 at 10:13
presently i am using R8BB001(europe) fs … i used xs++ to bypass the db2020 security … i am planning to flash it with R8BB001(asia) … what i want to know is should after flashing to R8BB001(asia) should i once again use quick access maker so as to bypass db2020 security ….. My second question - Does constant flashing affects the phone ????????
May 23 at 10:24
Hi Akshay thanks for your quick guide my phone is d2020 model is w880i it is not getting connected or unable to detect in setool kindly help how do i go ahead about it…..tried very hard but failed
May 23 at 12:41
@PD: http://img34.picoodle.com/img/img34/4/1/12/akshayy/f_patchingm_c66b94b.jpg Check this and hopefully you will understand.
@Neo: if you are flashing only FS, and not main, you don’t need to, because patches affect main only. Constant flashing - not really. The affected chips will surely get overused by time but it is like constant using affects the phone…
@kpit: have USB drivers installed? Is the phone working? Is the cable ok?
May 23 at 12:53
thanks … appreciate for ur quick reply … hmm one more query … is there any way to record from the radio ???????
May 23 at 12:57
No, I never heard of such a thing… It is easier to download from DC.
May 23 at 13:34
m nt gettin d use quick access patch option…hw shud i gt it…??
May 23 at 13:52
Isn’t your phone DB2010 by any chance?
May 23 at 13:55
no buddy its DB2020…w580i…i applied the Vkp patch as in the tutorial successfully but dn also its nt showing dt option…
May 23 at 14:03
The quick-access thing is only for db2020 and will not be shown if the selected phone type is not set to a db2020 model.
If nothing works, use JDFlasher…
May 23 at 14:11
buddy mine is w580i db2020 model…stil its nt showing…i think all w580i’s r db2020 isnt it….nd i hav seen in xs3++ tht my fne is db2020…
