Using XS++ to create an M950?

[jketzetera]

As a few of you may recall, last year news of combining the firmwares of the M600i and W950i appeared. More specifically, the combination of certain parts of the firmware of the M600i and W950i and then flashed into the M600i using SEtool2 would create a business phone with qwerty-keyboard and excellent media player.

See http://www.esato.com/archive/t.php/t-146927,1.html for instructions

and

YouTube - Convert M600i - W950i

YouTube - Convert M600i - W950i version 2

YouTube - Convert M600i - W950i II

for videos of the "M950" phone.

Now to the questions:

1. Is the above flashing possible to achieve using XS++? Has anyone tried it?

2. As you all know by now, SE stopped developing the firmware for the M600i, W950i and P990i when they were about to launch the P1i. However, for some reason the W950i received a firmware update beyond M600i. Also, the W950i is listed as being compatible with Fring while the M600i is not.

Would a firmware combination of the latest firmwares for M600i and W950i, flashed into a M600i give the M600i the benefits of Fring-compatiblity and updated Opera browser?

I think you can't use XS++ to do that.

I think is posiblle, because both models are CID49 and identical hardware. But first you must create a M950_firmware like the instruction in the link! XS++ can flash PDA, just mark "Flash all files" and then Flash!!!

That is good news. I actually have two M600i phones so I am willing to take the risk and try to flash a custom M950 firmware onto one of them. Unfortunately, I have yet to gain access to the firmware archive so I guess this particular project of mine will have to wait for approx 2 months.
