how long does this take?
i have also tried a manual FAR manager - uploaded the files tot he phone, however then the phone would not start, so i deleted them again

I have followed a few tutorials and now need a bit of help... thanks.

want to get rid of the o2 custpack (CDA102415/55) and put a generic one on (EUROPE_2 (CDA102415/8)

[riders4sia]

try using XS 3.1, yours is a beta version, or you may use setoollite 1.11

[Solway]

using 3.1 now, seems the same. also tried old versions

setoollite 1.11 anyone got a download link? i have run out of MB allowance on here

edit:
found a download elsewhere



PS. how long does Activating filesystem take normally?

[Solway]

ok done it... thanks for your help

flashed with setools 1.11

using same firmware and custpack
using your tutoral Flash your phone and How to apply or remove patch using SETool 2 Lite - Top Sony Forums

some reason xs++ didn't get passed the first file on the custpack

for reference to anyone else - setool 1.11 log showed this...
