You probably want to upgrade and turn a much older model Sony Ericsson K800i mobile phone into a newer model SE K810i. Instead of buying the SE K810i, there is a free alternative to turn a SE K800i into a K810i. Convert your Sony Ericsson K800i to K810i in these 10 easy steps.
1. Download the "Update Service application software" from the Sony Ericsson homepage at www.sonyericsson.com
2. Install "Update Service application software". Follow the instructions in updating the K800i. No need to finish the update, what is only needed is to install the USB driver.
3. Download XS++ from here. XS++ is the program we are going to use for flashing your mobile phone. After downloading extract the zip file and install XS++. (Note: XS++ may not be compatible in Windows 2000)
4. Make a folder named "files_to_upload" where XS++ will be, in our case : c:\k810\XS++\files_to_upload
5. To turn the SE K800i inot a K810i, we need to download the following: K810i latest firmware MAIN and FS + Custpack with K800iLighteffects . Download it from here. After downloading extract the zip file. Drag the file named Custpack (in the TPA folder) to the "files to upload folder", c:\k810\XS++\files_to_upload
6. Turn off your phone, remove the battery and put it back again. Open XS++ and click connect, now connect your phone using your USB while pressing "C". The mobile phone will now be connected.
7. Put the K810_R8BA024_MAIN_GENERIC_SM_RED52.mbn in the "flash main firmware"
8. Put the K810_R8BA024_FS_EUROPE_2_RED52.fbn in the "flash file system"
9. Check "customize file system" then select phone model, choose "own custpack". Then check "Select CDA or Region" choose "own custpack"
10. Click "flash", and wait until the process ends. It will say "disconnect your phone" when the flashing ends. When flashing ends, turn on your SE K800i and voila! your SE K800i has been modded to SE K810i. Enjoy the benefits of the better features of the Sony Ericsson K810i with just a SE K800i like Photofix and TrackID.
