How to add flash menu in w610i?

[10ego]

Hey Guys,

I have been reading for a while the forum and my question seems not to be answered or I didn't look deep enough.

I have a w610i debranded and unlock. I am not interested in flashing the phone, just adding the menus.

Can some one point me in the right direction or tell me how to do so?

Regards,

Diego :)

If ur phone supports se tool then u can just add menus to directory like tpa preset desktop flash and in the flash folder put the swf and then zip it and select in the misc section and press flash thats all :-) hope that helped

The fastest way is with program called Far manager.With db2020 plugin.Or you could use XS++,but the problem is that it could take couple of hours.

2) SEUS : Sony Ericsson Update Service
3) Computer with Win XP !

Cool stuff needed !

1) Flash Menus (Lots of them)
2) Flash Wallpapers

Advanced Stuff

1) w880 acoustics

Read Each And Every Word Carefully If you don't want to mess up your phone !

We use XS++ 2.0 to write files into the Phone's File System (FS)

1. First update your phone via SEUS.

This is easy just follow the on screen instructions given by SEUS program !
Reason for updating phone : XS++ supports CID52 flashing and SEUS will update your phone to CID52
If your phone is already updated then SEUS will says its already updated.. this is the case with all new w610i sold in August and there after ! ppl who got phones before July will hv EROM CID 51 phone !

Installing SEUS is compulsory even if your phone is updated ! because it installs drivers required for flashing which XS++ will use !

2. Download XS++
Create a folder XS++ in D: And Copy XS++.exe in that folder !
Create a folder with name files_to_upload in XS++ folder

3. Connecting phone to XS++

Shutdown phone . Remove SIM Card. Reinsert Battery. (don't start phone)
Then Click on Connect in XS++ and holding C button on your phone connect your phone to Computer to USB

cable and don't leave C button until XS++ detects your phone and requests you to leave C button.
On the Left Side of the XS++ it gives details of your phone. Read it !

Your Phone OTP CID 51 and EROM CID 52 are must ! or else stop right here !

EROM CID Must be 52 !

4. Folder Creating Instructions and My Terminology !

If i say upload files to location files_to_upload/tpa/preset/system/desktop/flash/
then u must create a folder tpa then preset folder inside tpa folder and and so on till last folder

5. FSX Option in XS++ !

FSX uploads all the files in the folder files_to_upload to the phone's FS
In Configuration Select FSX to use FSX !
once u copied all files (example: skins, flash menu) in files_to_upload folder then click Start FSX !
Sit back and relax and XS++ will do the job !
Disconnect phone when done Insert Sim Card and Start Phone !


6. Flash Menus

After downloading flash menu copy the .swf files to flash folder

files_to_upload/tpa/preset/system/desktop/flash/*** .swf files her***

and upload using FSX to phone

Later Copy .thm files to M2 card !
Remember u must flash only the .swf files !

7. Walkman skins

upload skin folder to this location in phone's FS using FSX

files_to_upload\TPA\SYSTEM\MULTIMEDIA\MP\SKIN\**sk in folder here**

if skins are already placed then just flash ( click start FSX )

8. Flash Wallpapers

Just download and copy them to Memory Card as usual as u copy music to M2 Card
U can set them as wallpapers as u set pictures as wallpapers..

Advanced Stuff

9. Acoustics

w880i Acoustics are really great and provide v.good music quality

upload acoutics to this directory using FSX !!

files_to_upload/ifs/settings/acoustic/**** zapf files here ****

10. Higly improved camera drivers

Details of the driver
1. VR is set to 24 fps instead of 10 fps
2. Fine quality settings :
all pictures , compression is set from 85% to 95%
1632x1224 size, quality improved
3. Sharpening set to maximum
4. Tested and works good.

Upload camera driver using FSX to this location

files_to_upload/ifs/settings/camera/***camera driver file here****

10. Visulizations !

upload to

.avx files in files_to_upload\TPA\PRESET\SYSTEM\multimedia\AV
starting image file in files_to_upload\TPA\PRESET\SYSTEM\multimedia\AV_DA TA



Few People have problems Installing SEUS.. only for them !

SEUS : FLASH PLAYER NOT INSTALLED ERROR !

SEUS requires flash player....
all firefox user have this problem !
Just install flash player using Internet explorer !!
search for flash player using google in IE ! goto that abode or macromedia website...
install it ! for windows and for IE !
Restart Computer !

NOTE:
Never Tell Service Center that u flashed ! if u do they will cancel your warranty !
If they ask any questions just say you updated your phone ! Your Phone's Warranty depends on your English ! And more over your are customizing the phone not flashing Main and FS which voids warranty.


That's all folks
Thank You

Thank you much guys!
akshayy Thank you very much I was having trouble finding this. I downloaded the XS++ and far, but didn't know which options to use in each this is much clear for the XS++; however if I use far manager, which phone should i select of the list the w610 is not listed.
I will try this tomorrow and will post the results! and see how did it go.

Question? Can you put the swf files in the M2 card?

Regards,

Diego

[akshayy]

hey Diego !

use XS++ 2.2 !! its the best !!

You Must use FSX option.. !! and copy .swf files correctly..! if you are not understanding then ask again..!


also u can put the .swf files in M2 and check them out there as Preview before flashing..
but for flash menu to work u must flash them to Phone's FS !

Create a folder called files_to_upload in XS++ folder

files_to_upload/tpa/preset/system/desktop/flash/*** .swf files her***

create tpa preset system desktop flash folders .. then flash..!

[shidi2007]

hello..

can i use that tut for w300i phone? is it compatible..


pls help...

[akshayy]

^^ yes it is.. but first download correct screen size themes and skins..!

and i don't know if acoustics will work.. w610i uses new zapf format while w810i uses apf
so i think even w300 uses apf... u can download many packs form se-nse
and i think u hv walkman 1.. so download walkman 1 skins...

[10ego]

ok, I tried to put the flash menu grouped on and something obviously went wrong.
akshayy I follow your instructions step by step.
I created a folder like this files_to_upload\tpa\preset\system\desktop\flash in there I dump the swf file.
Open the XS++ click connect. The phone was detected. Everything was fine. Click on FSX click on Start and XS++ did its thing.
Put the sim back on. Moved the htm to the m2 card and when I select the theme, the menu was exaclty the same didnt change to the flash one.
Any ideas?

Regards,

Diego
