XS++ 3.1 Guide-Flashing, Customizing, Recovering

[naxself]

naxself: Ans1> Yes, You Have A Perfect Pack For Flashing Your Phone.
Ans2> Yes, You May Add Languages Without Flashing Your Phone.

Thanks! Next question: how do I add languages without flashing? (I'm sure that's a dumb question, but I haven't been able to find a guide that I understand.)

EDIT: Couple more questions:
1. Can I use the SE Update Service to recover from a bad flash?
2. When flashing, how long do I need to hold the "C" button down?

Again, apologies for the silly questions...

No. FSX In XS++3.1 Is Only One Way i.e From PC To Phone. You Can Grab Files From Phone To Your PC. However FAR Can Do It.

I know after using FAR I need reflash the MAIN. Is that crrect?
Does XS++3.2 or higher version support two way?

naxself: Ans1> Well Its A Little Complicated Step And There Aren't Very Good Tutorials Out But Heres One Which Covers All.
Ans2>No, You Can't Use SEUS To Recover From A BadFlash. Read The Last Section Of The Tutorial, "Recovering From A Bad Flash"
Ans3>You Need To Keep The "c" Button Pressed Until Your Phone Gets Detected By XS++. (Usually Take A Second)

a123456789: No, After Using FAR Its Not At All Required To Flash Your Main. If You Want A Guide On FAR, See This. XS++ 3.1 Is Currently Latest. The 3.2 Version Is Just A Beta Which May Destroy Your Phone So Dont Use It. However, I Dont Think That XS++ Will Ever Support Two Way.

No, Its Not Like That. You May Use XS++ To Detect, Select Firmware, Flash And Customize. Same Goes For FAR. However FAR Is Mainly Used For Customizing Phone Like Replacing The CamDriver, Acoustics etc But XS++ Can Also Do It.

Flashing side works as described.

The problem I'm having is selecting the correct Main and FS files to support the 3 UK CDA.

Anybody know which files I need.

Thanks.

I have successfully flashed my brand new vodafone branded w880i, unfortunately the buttons are behaving a little weird. The top left button on the keypad displays an option to go to something called "ticker" but when I press the button nothing happens at all. Any advice?

Here is my phone details BEFORE any flashing:

18:56:08| Sending shutdown command to phone...

18:56:08| Customizing was SUCCESSFUL!

18:56:08| Disconnecting phone...

18:56:08| You may now unplug your phone.

18:56:08| Flashing was successful

18:56:10| Disconnected... Unplug the phone

I can make and receive calls, everything seems properly debranded (yay!:)) -- can you please advice/help me with the following:

1. Did I use the most ideal files for flashing? If not please please tell me which are the most ideal files to be using for the latest firmwares and generic UK debranding?
2. How can I resolve this button behaviour (described above), is there a file I can manually edit to map the buttons?
3. Is there anything else that I've done wrong or could do in a better way?

Many thanks in advance!
