Come across a bit of a problem.

Hi guys.

To begin with, I have an SE Z610i.

Well, I've been learning japanese for a very long time and I came across this nice feature kalleboo.com

So, I got XS++, and after alot of trouble, I managed to get my phone to connect with it.

I did as the tutorial said at that site.

Within the Japanese zip file, There is a font.xml and konatu.ttf. I deleted the font.xml which was in the phone itself, then copied the new one in and it uploaded fine. Then, I went to upload konatu.ttf and I got a Command: Error 0x03 so It didnt upload. So, Being the silly guy I am, I deleted the sans-serif...fonts because I assumed it may have been taking up too much space and still, Konatu.ttf will not upload. So now, I currently have no fonts on my phone and when I turn it on, there is text, but its all muddled up and weird >.<

So my questions are, why won't konatu.ttf upload and how do I get the sans-serif_europe_reg.ttf and sans-serif_europe_bd.ttf back incase uploading Konatu is impossible.

Thanks to anyone who can help.

Zac,

here u are. have a nice day

Thankyou very much for that. Its been hard not being able to know what the time is all day :p Now leaves the question, How can I upload Konatu.ttf? I just tried again and it still refuses to upload.

try far+jdflasher although it's a bit tough, i hope he can do it. all the best

Hmm, I tried Far Manager a few days ago and it didnt work.

I'm currently downloading SEUS so hopefully that will help me achieve adding the new font.

wait a minute, don't ever use SEUS as it will update your phone CID to CID53 that is not capable with setool and xs though far manage to do it, its a bit tough and less patch and extras. you may end up bricking your phone trying to change only the fonts, instead, flash it xs and setool1.11 and upload again, i have change my fonts too without any problems

Well thankgod im on dialup or I would have installed it already :p Thankyou very much.

I'm not quite sure what you mean

"instead, flash it xs and setool1.11 and upload again, i have change my fonts too without any problems"

Could you explain it a bit more thoroughly? Sorry :(

upgrade your phone firmware with xs or setool and try changing the fonts again. hope it will work for sure

Eugh, I have no idea about that :p How exactly do I upgrade the firmware :S

Eek. setool is 27mb :o No way. I'm gonna have to stick with XS++

How to I update the firmware via XS++?

EDIT: Sorry about the double post.

here it is dude

Thanks :)

I've just done a GDFS backup.

Now, I'm up to this

Select the firmwares (make sure you extract them first) by clicking the "..." buttons or simply dragging the file from the explorer to the box (don't get mixed up with FS and MAIN).

WHERE do I get these firmware files?

post me the log by xs

Hope this is what you want :)

i think the reason why you can't upload other fonts is bcoz your phone's been branded and your firmware version is too old. if you have yahoo id please log me in riders4siam

use the following files
Z610_R6DA001_FS_C_ASIA_RED52
Z610_R6DA001_MAIN_GENERIC_MY_RED52
HB1-06_Gen_CDA102568_7_R5A_GENERIC_C_ASIA
also u need to unlock it with setool 1.11. see this for unlocking only the 3 part

you'll find everything in the download section

Thanks.

Being on Dialup sucks. I'll be back in a few days to update I guess. I'll download all the mentioned files via my friend's broadband.

OH, quick question. I see the files have the word ASIA in them, I'm in Australia, is that an issue?

not a problem, only a supported language, if you use english, it's fine. let's remember use the thanks button

Hello again :) I've just downloaded all the files.

I'm curently flashing the phone with the files.

(Im doing it in XS++ instead because the SEtool is 27 MB :o )

Now, the next step is
Step 2.
Tick “Customize File System”, select model and region/CDA, click flash.

My phone isnt on the list of selections.

What should I do?

Ooooh I did it :D Fonts loading up now. Unfortunately I lost all of my contacts but thats not a big deal.

THANKYOU VERY MUCH :)

he he problems solved

Hi again.

I'm curious to know, I'd like to make my menu's in japanese text.

I thought the way I could do this, is extract the en.lng and t9, and the ru.lng and t9. I could open up the russian language files and change all the strings into japanese.

How do I extract files from the phone? the download button is greyed out and there seems to be no other way unless i'm missing something.

try with this. extract it, make a copy of the FS and rename it shortly as you like and copy it to firmware extract folder. run start, it will ask you a name, type the name you've just renamed it, voilaaa everything will be done to extract the file system. there you can copy the language file

Thanks.

Before you posted, I managed to extract all the files from the firmware, but unfortunately when I change some strings into japanese (I used a file called LNG editor), They dont work because they arent in the character list, and its impossible to copy every japanese character into the character section. So I won't bother with it.

Now, I've another question xD

With all this amazing editing, which I never thought was possible, I was wondering. I always thought the video player was pretty stupid..no rewind feature..no pause feature etc.. Has anyone made maybe a custom video player for the phone?

Just thought of something else.

The Clock

its pretty straight forward, for example it will say 21:09 or something.

In the lng file, I couldnt find any mention of this. I remember a while ago, I was looking at a game strings file and time was set up something like this

%%:%% Which I guess means Hours:Minutes and the % is just a space for every hour and second.

Is there a file anywhere within tpa or something with the clock strings? I'd like to make it for example

21:09 to 21時09分

It may not work. But I'd like to try it.

here you will find usefull apps
here is some application that i can shared - Top Sony Forums
and about the clock, no knowledge about it. you can rewind, fast forward, pause by pressing & holding left for rewind, right for fast forward, center for pause but if you need a better player, here is what i have. enjoy

Thanks for that.

A new question :p

I'm wanting to change my incoming message tones. Since I was able to extract all the files from the FS, I am able to see what format all the sounds are. They are 3gp.

I have a prepared MP3 file which I'd like to use.

Is there a FREEWARE program out there which will create this 3GP format?

google for "Daniusoft DVD & Video Converter Pack" and within the video converter, select the mp3 file, in the format preset-set it to 3gp and click start.
