XS++ 3.1 Guide-Flashing, Customizing, Recovering

[WLK]

OK, you convinced me! :)

I will go for a K810i flash. Just some further info, after the flash the phone will be a K810i in everything, and the identification of the phone (like pushing up & down volume button from stand by) will be K810i right? The patch I could eventually apply have to be for K810i?

To have the K800i light effect I have to change some file during the general K800-->K810 flash or after when the phone is already a K810i (the software to use it's always XS++?).

Thank you!

Yes.:) It Will Be A K810i Everywhere.

Yes.:) Furthermore For Your Knowledge, Patch Changes Variable In MAIN So Whatever Models MAIN Is, Patch Has To Be Used For That Model.

Flash It With The K810 Firmware Normally. Then Use "Uploading Files Via FSX" Section To Upload The Light Effects To /tpa/preset/system/lighteffect. I Have Attached The K800 Light Effects If You Want It.

Hi, thanks for this great tutorial :) , I have SE W850 and I’m trying to upload some new flash menu, after starting XS++ 3.1 I turn off my phone, I hold the “c” button and I connect it to the USB cable. This is what it shows: Error: Cannot open phone communication port Disconnected... Unplug the phone.
Same result with PhoneXS (failed to open); I’ve downloaded the ‘USB Flash Driver’ but in vain.
Can you help me please?

Hi, when I connect my phone to the PC I don't have: “Found New Hardware Wizard” pop up, I have already installed Sony Ericsson PC Suite, so I think my PC recognize my phone.
Also I’ve downloaded and installed the USB flash driver in this folder: C:\USBFlashDriver, it includes: ‘ggsemc.inf’ ‘ggsemc.cat’ ‘x86’ folder and ‘amd64’ folder.
Finally, I’ve removed and reinserted the Battery after turning Phone Off with the same result: Error: Cannot open phone communication port
Thanks for your attention :)

Can you PLEASE tell me is there any chance to Backup the original files in the FSX before making any change????(like keeping the original menu.ml)
Also I would like to know why do J need to flash the firmware??? is it nessesery?

[mohdumer]

You Can Get Any Original File On The Internet. Like menu.ml, Original Acoustics etc. However, If You Want You May Use FAR To Grab Original Files From Phone Before Modifying. See Customizing Using FAR Manager With DB2020 Phones And With Backward Compatibility. - Top Sony Forums

Hi guys... just a quick question here...

My K850 (not supported by XS++, I knew... but plz... bear with me...) currently using CHINA_SO R1CA029.

Lets say I am to change the phone to GENERIC_S0 R1CA029, can XS++ do it? I noticed the option is there.

Do I need to download anything?

I'm not going to change/customize/edit anything to my current firmware, just to change it from CHINA_SO to GENERIC_SO.

(I'm asking this because apparently SEUS don't have the update for my version of K850, so I thought maybe by changing the above would make it do so)

Thanks in advance!

Sorry Dude You Cant.:o XS++ 3.1 Only Supports Detecting Of K850 But Cant Change It In Any Way.

[mohdumer]

You Should Use K800_R8BF003_MAIN_GENERIC_WI_RED52 As MAIN. For FS You May Use Any FS Depending Upon Your Region Like If You Live In Russia, You Should Use C_ASIA(Central Asia) But Make Sure You Use R8BF003 Since Your MAIN Is R8BF003. Now Coming To Your Custpack, You May Match A Custpack With Your FS Here.:) If You Still Have Any Problem Matching Your CDA, Tell Me What FS Are You Using!
