Hi all,

I sucesfully (i think) flashed my K800i with K810 firmware last night. My first go at it so im pleased im not left with a lump of plastic for a phone.

Is it possible to flash it with the K850 firmware? Would I get the nicee psp type menu's n stuff?

Is there any whay of backing up games from the fone before flashing? I lost a few quids worth last night.

As ever many thanks
Joe Dunne

You will not be able to put K850i firmware on the K800i as it has completely different gardware

hi

k800/k810 is different to k850. k800/k810 is a 3mp phone camera while the k850 is a 5mp camera phone. one uses a dpad while the other uses a joystick.

here's a comparison between the 3 phones:

k800 vs k810 vs k850

yeh i wouldnt bother even trying it.....if by the highly unlikely chance u dont completely brick it, it will most probably have been flashed with the new CID security system and therefore no loaders will be able to flash it back to k800/k810

Given that most of us k850 owners are banging our heads in frustration at the firmware, I wouldn't bother just yet!
