Firstly you have to know which firmware has your phone now. Check firmware using the service menu:

>*
If your phone is CID52 you can flash it with XS++ using the newest firmware, if not I guess you have to use SEUS somewhere to update your phone CID from 49/51 to 52 to flash the phone without risk.

Anyway, maybe a CID49 phone can be flashed with CID52 firmware in the case of K800, but I haven't tried that so I'm not sure to tell you.


The update process through XS++ is a bit easy in my opinion. Firstly you have to download the needed software. Search for XS++ on this forum there are plenty of links (I prefer downloading the latest/newest version). Firmware and customization packs can be downloaded from here:

http://www.iprotebe.cz/

you have to register on the site but it's free and easy.

When you have the MAIN and FS files you need, you can start flashing your phone.

Install USB flash drivers, run XS++, select customize filesyste, select MAIN, select FS and click the "Flash" button.

After flashing is done you have to finalize your phone. Finalization is done by uploading a pack of files to predefined folder in the phone's filesystem structure. They are called custom packs or finalization packs. Once you have the files you need to upload them into "tpa\\preset\\custom" to make your phone fully functional.

yes thats right.. FS should be in APAC, and MAIN can also be in generic... or CHINA.. but i guess GENERIC will do

now the custom files to use is around here somewhere.. or ill be uploading them any moment.

hold on
