XS++ 2.x Guide

[ts013]

1. Yes, there were some issues with W550. They should have vanished since 2.2. I tested it with W550 and was successful. You can use Se Tool lite if an error occurs.
2. A fullflash conists of MAIN, F(ile)S(ystem) and Custpack.

I actually wanted to know where can one get the FS file from, cause i could'nt find it in the downloads section either!
Edit: Found Out!! thanks anyways..

[DomagojX]

which FS do you need???

[ts013]

DomagojX: Please read the forum rules. It's not allowed to share any fw file from the download area.

abmadman: If we don't have it you'll have problems finding it anywhere else. TopSony has the largest collection of firmware files for SE phones on the net.

You can download the whole FS with SETool2 Lite using a very simple script:

readpkg:/

Save as text file(with txt extension), then in SETool2 Lite select your phone type, in MISC files box select the script file and press Write SCRIPT button. Along your script file will get an pkg_yourIMEI.zip file containing the whole FS.

Would my phone work after that? Or would I need to reflash the firmware?

hey guys,thanks for the answers, but i got another question. the FS and MAIN files i have are both .bin. The tutorial shows them being a .fbn and .mbn..! are they different files or do i need to just change the extension??

[ts013]

You don't need to do anything. .bin, .fbn and .mbn are supported. Just put them in the correct space.

@abmadman

usually xs++ gets stuck if the file you flash are corrupted... try to use a different file or other generic files.... or better yet use SEtool2lite... this happened to me before also... as long as your phone is detected by XS++ i think everything is OK....

[abmadman]

But it says FS and MAIN flash succesful and the custpack is the one in XS++ it self.. so is it still possible that the FS MAIN files are corrupt?
