General Info..


Using patches you can improve the features of your phone and also change the graphics of the phone. You can remap folders in FS to phone memory and change acoustics, camera drivers and other stuff easily. With patches you can also disable many messages and bypass them to continue. For example you can bypass the “Insert handsfree message” to start the radio without the handsfree. And many more.

Patch is a piece of code which is applied to the Main firmware. By Applying a patch the parts of main firmware are modified. Main firmware consists of many flash blocks. Each flash block has an address and information stash. A patch is applied to a particular flash block to change the variables and codes in the flash block. A patch contains the address of the flash block to be patched and the code to be changed in a flash block.

Patching with db2020 bypass security takes lots of time. Hence den_po came with the idea of quick access patch and implemented in his Jdflasher. Which was then taken by the_laser and implemented in his Setool 2 lite.

Note: Backup of GDFS to be made only for the first time. Backup GDFS once with Setool 2 lite and also once with XS++ if you have not done yet. Then store your GDFS safely. You can also go through GDFS backup in tutorial section for more on gdfs.

Apply Quick Access Patch..

First we enable quick access patching for your firmware using db2020 security bypass and from then on apply other patches using quick access patch.

Drag and Drop your Main Firmware on qamaker.exe , it will generate the quick access patch .vkp for your firmware. Qamaker is included in the Setool 2 lite download archive.

Now start SeTool 2 Lite
In Files box click add and add the main firmware you used to generate quick access patch.

Now in Misc Files click ‘….’ and add the quick access vkp patch generated.

Check Bypass db2020 Security ! Press Flash. Reinsert Battery and connect phone holding C.
Wait for db2020 security bypass operations

When done setool 2 lite asks you to unplug phone, reinsert battery, Press READY and then connect phone holding C. Do it in order, Correctly.

SeTool 2 lite Flashes the Main. When main is flashed it starts to apply the patch.
It asks you to Click NO to apply the patch and YES To Remove the Patch. Hence Click No. Wait for a few minutes. Patching will complete and you have successfully applied the quick access patch.


Once you applied quick access patch you apply all other patches by the method given below

 

Patching..

Find out patches for your firmware. If your firmware is a W580 R8BE001 then look out for W580 R8BEoo1 patches.

Copy the code in notepad and click ’save as’ and in Save as type choose >> ‘All Files’ and then save it as >> patchname.vkp give any name of your choice

Start Setool 2 lite. Select Phone Model. Check use “quick access” patch.

In Misc Files click ‘….’ and select the patch that you want to apply. the patch that you just now saved as patchname.vkp

Click Write Script.



Reinsert battery and connect phone holding C. Then setool 2 lite asks you to click No to apply the patch and click yes to remove the patch. Hence click no. If it says some patch values differs then click yes and continue applying the patch.

The patch will be then applied. After patching is done setool 2 lite says .vkp executed disconnect phone reinsert battery and start your phone.

Also go through the video tutorials included in the setool 2 lite 1.1 archive. !

You must also know how to extract an FS because some patches require that you place some files in M2 Card. Such as to use a patch that replaces /tpa/preset/system/desktop to /usb/other/flash

you must first create folder “flash” in Other folder in phone using file manager and then copy the contents of FS/tpa/preset/system/desktop To /usb/other/flash and then apply the patch or else phone might fail to start the menu !!

IMPORTANT >>> IF you are using Google Translator then be careful while copy pasting patch. It Copies the same code twice and patch will go wrong. Copy the patches from Russian site without using google translator !


Important >> Always press correct button. Many have killed their phones by pressing Write GDFS instead of Write Script. See that you press Write SCRIPT button while patching !

Side note: If your patch appears to have failed to be patched using setool2lite, you might want to try JDFlasher. Certain patches can only be patched by certain software. :)

Thanks to den_po !! for quick access patch method and also for releasing patching for free ! hence laser released !
