Need advice from someone who knows about K750i conversion to W800i & CID numbers etc

Unwritten · 20-02-2007, 21:58

OK, I've got a K750i which I'm hoping (fingers crossed) could be converted to a W800i internally.

My phone is CID49, but I'm told the conversion can only be done with CID36 K750i phones. Is there any developments made with this over the last few months to enable CID49 users to be able to flash to W800i?

Thank you for any help....

cruiser can flash k750i cid49 to w800i cid36 (there is no w800i cid49 flash available)

Thanks

See the thing is, I was told that trying to do that, flashing a cid49 to w800i cid36 would mess the phone up and cannot be done?

I take it this can be attempted using Davinciteam s/w?

i only know it can be done with cruiser as it converts the file when flashing.
it may not work with davinci - best to contact davinci or have a look on the forum

I've done it! I flashed the Main firmware to W800i but left the File System alone because I didn't dare touch it. But yeah it's great - I now have a Walkman phone in the K750i body and got to keep the Super Real Tennis K750i game! Result.

No I used Phone XS v2. I followed the instructions here http://forums.se-nse.net/index.php?s...ic=6118&st=640 - see post 643.

Very simple process, took about 5 minutes to flash. Love the Walkman interface, much better than the K750i media player.

Does anyone know if, for example, in the future I wanted to flash back to K750i, could I just flash the MAIN firmware instead of the File System, or would I need to flash both? Or can it not be flashed back to K750i at all?
