75I have some files from TopSony Site : *.mbn/*.fbn and *.bin files. Can I use those files with SeTool2 cracked ? What are the types of files that SeTool2 accept ?
I wanna flash my K750 with R1CA021 with SeTool2 cracked and test it. If I wont like this version, i wanna be able to go back to R1BC002. The problem is that for R1CA021, the files are mbn and fbn and for the R1BC002, the files are in bin format/extension.

forget about *.mbn or *.fbn - it's just a convenience
cracked setool can flash firmwares in not-crypted SSW format (0xBABE first 4 bytes, then CID, hash etc) with ANY filename type, .bin, .mbn, .ssw and so on
not-cracked setool also can flash it's own crypted firmware format

one of the main problem for all tools is firmware, so software authors crypt firmware files in order to only their software can flash it.

simple way to check whether firmware is crypted or not is to open the file in any hex viewer. if 4 first bytes are B A B E then it's not crypted and can be flashed in cracked setool, sonics or old davinci like v.13.8

cracked setool can flash only not-crypted firmware files
you can get them from the best source - http://www.topsony.com

setool support site has only crypted firmwares, so you can't flash it unless you bought this good tool

regarding old and new eroms - really I don't know what's the difference, but I recommend you to deal with old erom
