EROM, CID and firmware questions. Plese Help!

This is my phone's detail from XS++:

13:53:31| Profiling SEMC phone...
13:53:31| Baseband ID: PNX5230
13:53:31| OTP CID: 51
13:53:31| EROM CID: 51
13:53:31| EROM Color: Red
13:53:31| IMEI: 35464001xxxxxx
13:53:31| Phone ID: Z310
13:53:31| Network: VFE_LIVE_2

13:53:31| Firmware Version: R1JC002
13:53:31| EROM: R4A012
13:53:31| Ready for operation!

My first question is:

I bought my phone in South Africa and i stay in South Africa.
My "EROM CID is 51", "EROM color is RED" and my "Network is VFE_LIVE_2".

If i want to flash the "Z310_R6BC002_FS_CENT_EUROPE_RED52.fbn", "Z310_R6BC002_MAIN_GENERIC_AL_RED52.mbn" and "Z310_ALVA_Gen_CDA102669_2_R3A_GENERIC_CENT_EUROPE " custpack to my phone.

Is my phone still going to work in South Africa??

My second question is:

My current EROM is "51 RED", how can i upgrade it to "52 RED" ?

Thanks!

Look here and read it through:

xs++

and Yes your phone will still work in South Africa.

Nice day

don't upgrade your EROM, you doo that only if you have a damaged EROM, 'til then don't mess with it.

To jasmin and Khaba:

Thanks for your help.

I am flashing my phone at the moment, but i wonder how long it takes to flash my phone?

I been waiting for 10 mins now, and all i see at the moment is the following:
01:02:24| Sending PNX5230_cid51red_flash_r2a016.bin...
01:02:24| Applet ID: 061120 1602 HANCXC1720441_R2A016_PNX5230_FLASHLOADER
01:02:24| This is a FLASH loader
01:02:24| Now flashing firmware main...
01:02:24| Flashing d:\z310i\xs++\z310_r6bc002_main_generic_al_red52.m bn
01:02:24| Header type: BABE

Is this normal??

Thanks!

That what did you write is normal, but 10 minutes already. That is not normal.
Because when i flashed my phone it took for all flashing ( main, fs and custom ) about 15-20 minutes.

Nice day

ps. and use the Thanks button, when you thank somebody.

it's probely taken so long cause your flashing cid:52 to cid:51 use seus to upgrade from cid:51 to cid:52, you can get seus from Sony Ericsson - Sony Ericsson

u must have same cid
i see u phone cid 51 and the firm cid 52

I try the SEUS, but it said no updates available for my phone.

By the way, do i have to upgrade from CID 51 to CID 52 first before i upgrade the firmware?

And how can i upgrade to CID 52, provided that the SEUS has no updates available for my phone?

It's been more than 3 hours now, i still see the following:

01:02:24| Sending PNX5230_cid51red_flash_r2a016.bin...
01:02:24| Applet ID: 061120 1602 HANCXC1720441_R2A016_PNX5230_FLASHLOADER
01:02:24| This is a FLASH loader
01:02:24| Now flashing firmware main...
01:02:24| Flashing d:\z310i\xs++\z310_r6bc002_main_generic_al_red52.m bn
01:02:24| Header type: BABE

Should i leave it like this over night or what else should i do?

Also,
I try to download "Z310_RED_CID52_R3B019_EROM-FOTA_2006-06-30_12.rar" from the download section of this forum, but i don't have permission to download.

Where else can i download this file?

Thanks.
