PROCEDURE B
1. create "own_custpack" folder in the XS++.exe directory.
2. open "own_custpack" folder and create "tpa" folder.
3. open "tpa" folder and create "preset" folder.
4. open "preset" folder and create "system" folder.
5. open "system" folder and create "desktop" folder.
6. open "desktop" folder and create flash folder.
7. open "flash" folder and paste all .swf files you want.
8. then we flash using xs++

Please tell me, is it procedure A or B?? I hope you can help me out...

by the way, what country are you from? Thanks in advance...

PROCEDURE B IS CORRECT for Flash Menus !!!

about the w900i acoustics:when i updated the w900i acous. using XS++, it did get successfully flashed in and there was definitely a change in the Sound output.I did put int the same w900i acous twice after flashing in W800i and W700i acous. and both times i got the same sound output as i got when i first updated the W900i acous...also if the sound files would be sitting as junk then i would have got back my original dumb sounding K550i acous..Dunno how but i think i'm got W900i working...and if its not W900i then it must b W700i(i flashed those in Before w900i ,,original W700i and not W800i as i replied back 2 days back,,i went and checked the notepad file on my laptop in which i had saved the sequence of sound file updates)..please do the needful about W900i acous...

FSX just uploads anything to Phone's Flash Memory that is in files_to_upload dir

and all new db2020 phones can read only zapf acoustics..!
and u can't do much..u can't convert apf to zapf.. even if u convert them the phone won't understand them...!

@ akshay

Ok... I did procedure B, after flashing and turned on the phone cant find the flash menus anywhere... I attached the log file so you could verify if my procedure is correct....

also my phone is flashed to w610 main and w610 FS.... my question is can i re-flash it back to k550 FS?

hey dude ... u can't see the flash menu in the phone...

u must copy the correspoding .thm files to M2 card and use those theme..
those theme will search the FS for .swf and if available it will set it up..

everything is correct i have seen ur log !

ages_devil · Oct 7, 2007

first of all, thanks very much for this great tut.
second, i tried it, and after many corrupted firmwares(as i wanted one that support arabic which i couldn't find here) i turned my k550i into w610i(first time with w610 main and k550 fs, and second with w610 main and fs)
after trying it, i decided to go back to the original k550, everything worked fine, but the vedio stops playing its preview when choosing a thumbnail like it did before, so is this sth with my new firmware(Central Asia) as my old one was(Middle East / North Africa)?
so, what can i do to restore the vedio preview?

Akshay, so how can i delete and removed those trash apf inside my phone.

a_k_s_h_a_y · Oct 7, 2007

^^ hey don't worry about it .. its ok..!

it won't affect phone in any way..
sorry i should have checked it before i mentioned it my tut !

u can delete using FSX but there u must type path names manually.. which is boring..!!

if u really want to delete ( which is not really necessary )
u can use FAR manager and SEFP !

this tut explains how to use FAR

*www.esato.com/board/viewtopic.php?topic=125323

another tut

*www.topsony.com/forum/showthread.php?t=4173

download FAR+SEFP ! db2020 and CID 52 support

well its not a bug.. it might be sony has removed that feature in new Firmware..

it does not play for me also..! and bugs can be due to compatibily only..
but here there are no such issues !! don't worry !

infra_red_dude · Oct 7, 2007

Looks like lotsa probs wid the GDFS. Just do everything over again. Use the correct files. You said you were trying to flash it back to K550i but then what is this in the log:

17:20:48| Warning: IMEI name does not match GDFS name (IMEI:NULL GDFS:W610)

Some mismatch for sure!!! Check all the files again. Ensure you are using the correct files.

no w810i has much better speakers..
and also much better camera.. best in 2 MP category.
but its not slim.. a big disadvatage for me..

u can't insall on db2020 phones..
and i hope u know that all new SE phones are db2020 phones..
patching is not yet allowed on db2020 phones..

db2020 is something like chipset..
like u hv intel 945 and then intel 975...
