I decided to write this tutorial 'cause there aren't so much tutorials for DB202 0 (K610i, K618i, V630i, etc.).

This tutorial is exclusive for Sony Ericsson K610i/K618i/V630i with CID49 (defau lt). Advantages: -you'll have a debranded phone; -new effect for the menu icons; -the phone responds quickly when you have an animated wallpaper; -preview for movies; -the "Friends" options is introduced; -you can change the menu icons; -you can change the phone font; -no-bruteforce (cmz_config.xml) hack is installed. Disadvantages: -you lose the warranty; -only for the V630i phones: the keyboard is changed: -the Accept call key (green button) -> Internet key; -the Cancel call key (red button) -> Quick Menu key; -the Menu key -> Accept calls/Calls list key; -the Quick Menu key -> Menu Key; -you'll lose everything that is saved in the phone's memory: messages, games, applications, etc. You can backup them before you start. Note: -by flashing with this tutorial you won't have flash menus 'cause there aren' t available yet for those phones; -the phone is coded; -Main version: "K610_R1GB001_MAIN_GENERIC_RED49"; -File System version: "K610_R1GB001_FS_MEDITERR_RED49"; -Custom Pack version: "HB1-06_Generic_CDA102568_4_MEDITERR". Inainte de a incepe: -incarcati bateria telefonului la maxim (100%); -scoateti cardul si cartela SIM; -asigurati-va ca nimeni si nimic nu va intrerupe procesul de flash-uire; -este de preferat sa conectati cablul USB la porturile din spatele calculato rului. Acum incepe procesul propriu-zis: 1. Install the latest Sony Ericsson Update Service; 2. Extract XS++; 3. Open "XS++.exe"; 4. Press "Start"; 5. Hold down the C key and connect the phone to the computer; 6. Hold down the C key until the phone is recognized; 7. Chech "Flash Main Firmware", press "..." and select the file called "K610_R 1GB001_MAIN_GENERIC_RED49.mbn" from the folder called "main-fs"; 8. Chech "Flash File System", press "..." and select the file called "K610_R1G B001_FS_MEDITERR_RED49.fbn" from the folder called "main-fs"; 9. Check "Customize File System". At "Select phone model:" select "Own custpac

k" and at "Select CDA and Region" select "\own_custpack"; 10. Press "Flash"; 11. This will pe shown: "23:46:42| Ready for operation! 23:47:49| Sending loaders\db2020_cid01_cert_p3g.bin... 23:47:49| This is a CERTIFICATE loader 23:47:49| Sending loaders\db2020_cid49red_flash_r2a001.bin... 23:47:50| This is a FLASH loader 23:47:50| +++ Now flashing firmware main... 23:47:50| Sending flashfile C:\XS++\main-fs\K610_R1GB001_MAIN_GENERIC_RED49.mbn 23:47:50| 455 flashblocks 23:51:33| Finishing flash 23:51:33| Done flashing 23:51:33| +++ Now flashing filesystem... 23:51:33| Sending flashfile C:\XS++\main-fs\K610_R1GB001_FS_MEDITERR_RED49.fbn 23:51:33| 117 flashblocks 23:52:30| Finishing flash 23:52:31| Done flashing 23:52:31| +++ Sending CS_LOADER... 23:52:31| Sending loaders\db2020_cid49red_cs_r3a003.bin... 23:52:32| This is a CHIPSELECT loader 23:52:32| Activating loader... 23:52:32| Activating GDFS... 23:52:50| Checking if loader is unlocked... 23:52:50| This loader is LOCKED (errorcode=30) 23:52:50| ***** Auth startup (cmd 05-50) 23:52:50| ***** AuthA (cmd 05-42) hacking 23:53:01| Try #1000 and counting... 23:53:12| Try #2000 and counting... 23:53:23| Try #3000 and counting... 23:53:34| Try #4000 and counting... 23:53:45| Try #5000 and counting... 23:53:57| Try #6000 and counting... 23:54:08| Try #7000 and counting... 23:54:19| Try #8000 and counting... 23:54:30| Try #9000 and counting... 23:54:41| Try #10000 and counting..."; 12. The program will use bruteforce (the only way for the DB2020 phones). It ma y take up some hours; 13. When the whole process will finish, this will pe showed: "04:04:56| Done uploading 04:04:56| ++ Sending shutdown command to phone... 04:04:56| ++ Customizing was SUCCESSFUL! 04:04:56| ++ Disconnecting phone... 04:04:56| ++ You may now unplug your phone. 04:04:56| ++ Flashing was successful 04:04:58| Disconnected... Unplug the phone"; 14. Disconnect the phone from the computer; 15. Insert the SIM and the Memory Card; 16. Open the phone and wait for it to self configure. It may take 2-3 minutes; 17. Install the latest Sony Ericsson PC Suite.

Attention! If the flash process is intrerupted, the phone will start, but will show this: "Configuration error. Please contact your operator". Re-start the who le process again and everything will be fine.
