[Tutorial] Patching DB2020 CID53 phones
NOTE 1:
This is only for phones that were not locked when you bought them. If you have a phone that is locked to some network, check this thread in a day or two, I will be putting up another tutorial. The method is a bit different for locked phones.
NOTE 2:
I assume that you already know how to use JDFlasher in the “oflash” and “ofs” mode. If you don’t, search on google and get yourself acquainted.
Tools:
1.) JDFlasher + FAR Manager (find the latest from google)
2.) AnyCID bypass files. http://www.4shared.com/account/file/80038869/219e8565/anycid.html
3.) A little understanding. J
STEP 1:
In the anycid.zip folder, you will find folders with phone names.
Now in you mobile press the following key combination:
>*<<*<*
Attachment 25990
Go in service info>>Software info
You should now see something like this:
Attachment 25991
The first line is the important one. It shows the software version of your phone. Now in the anycid folder, find the folder of your phone. For example in the W610 folder you will find a zip file with the name “R8BA024_CXC1250747_GENERIC_NA.zip”
As you can see, my firmware in the screenshot is R6BC002. but the bypass file is available only for R8BA024. So I have to flash the R8BA024 firmware in my phone first. Similarly, if your firmware version does not exist, flash your phone with the appropriate firmware (using oflash of course).
Now extract the zip file of your phone’s firmware (“R8BA024_CXC1250747_GENERIC_NA.zip” in my case) in the same folder.
You will find this file structure:
tpa/preset/custom/executor.b
This “executor.b” is the bypass file for your phone. Also, in the anycid folder, there is a “db2020.zip” file. Extract it. It contains two files “executor.jar” and “customize_upgrade.xml”
Now the 3 files i.e “executor.b”, “executor.jar” and “customize_upgrade.xml” are to be uploaded in the phone’s File System, in the folder
tpa/preset/custom/
Now you are done with uploading the bypass files.
Step II
Now copy your MAIN firmware in this directory: Far\Plugins\jdflasher\rest
In the above folder, you will also find mkrest2.exe drag and drop the MAIN firmware (.mbn) onto mkrest2.exe
The program will generate the “rest file” for your phone. Also in the directory, “Far\Plugins\jdflasher\qamaker” copy the MAIN and drag and drop it onto “qamaker.exe”. You will see a .vkp file has been created:
quick_access_<your phone name>_<firmware version>.vkp
This is the quick access patch for your phone.
Step III
Now in the phone, go to the games folder. You fill find “executor” ****n this “game”. You phone will turn off now. Remove the battery BEFORE THE PHONE TURNS ON!!
Now start FAR Manager. Press Alt+F1. Select jdflasher. This time, select the script as “qa2020” now. Uncheck the “rsa” option. When you connect the phone now, you will see two options “bflash” and “bfs”.
Bflash is to be used to patch the firmware. Bfs is same as ofs, but in bfs, you can copy the files from the FS of the phone to the computer. The “b” stands for breakin.
Now you will have to flash the rest file. Flash it as a babe.
After flashing the rest file, don’t disconnect the phone!! Now navigate to the folder where you generated quick access patch (the .vkp file). Flash this file to as a vkp patch.
You now have quick access patch installed in your phone. From now onwards, whenever you want to patch, select “qa2020” enter bflash and patch.
Enjoy
IMPORTANT: Follow this tutorial at your own risk. If you end up damaging your phone, I am not responsible for it. If your phone stops working, it is not my fault.
