XS++ 3.1 Guide-Flashing, Customizing, Recovering

[WLK]

Customization = Changing or replacing original content of the phone, like ringtones, wallpapers, icons, themes, that come with branded or unbranded phones. It's nothing more than first default configuring of the phone after flashing FS file. Usually the process is:
1. Writing customize.xml and server&java certificates in tpa/preset/custom in sonics folder to tpa/presest/custom folder in the phone's internal file system
2. When the phone starts after flashing, it parses that xml file, puts settings written in that xml into the phone's gdfs and works out certificates (some go to Trusted certificates, some got Java certificate etc)
If you open customize.xml you can change almost any initial settings like time zone, date, internet profiles etc.

Branded Phones = Some network providers place their own ringtones, themes, icons, links etc within phone's software. (eg. vodafone, orange, t-mobie, rogers, cingular etc.) Debranding means removing all this content and restoring phone to it's original factory SONYERICSSON condition. This will not damage phone in any way! You will loose Operator Icons, and links, WAP, and MMS settings however these you can get via Sony Ericsson - Sony Ericsson

select Region ---> Country ---> Support ---> PHONE SETUP

Finalization = Completing flashing operations and storing basic settings that phone needs to properly operate [i.e. security certificates, (and this is why phone displays "configuration error" if it is not properly done)].

Firmware has two parts:
1. FS: It contains languages, images, sounds, animations, settings, etc. Anything that isn't pure software.
2. Main: It contains the software.

Note: MAIN and FS HAVE to be the same software version
MAIN R1BC002
FS R1BC002
Customization has to be same region as FS, in this case
FS = EU5 (EUROPE_5)
Customization =CDA102338/50 ( EUROPE_5 Sunrise Switzerland)

Hi everybody!

I read all the 17 pages of this discussion, but I still have some confusion about version of MAIN, FS and Customization.

At the moment my K800i is:

Detected: DB2020: A1 Series
Phone IMEI: 35XXXXXX-XXXXX...
Color: Red ; OTP CID: 51
EROM CID: 52
Phone Model: K800i
Operator: EUROPE_5
CDA: CDA102511/49 R10A

WARNING!!! CID52 SFL2 File: "Unlock_CID52.sfl2" not exist, unlocking not possible!.

NCK: - Unlocked - 5
NSCK: - Unlocked - 5

Phone Code lock state: - Unlocked
Total call time: 00:00:00
Flip opened times: 0
Radio Band: 900/1800/1900Mhz
EROM Version: R3A022

The phone it's apparently unlocked (or not??). I would like to update it with the last firmware release that should be R8BF003, according with the above instructions i should flash with:

K800_R8BF003_MAIN_GENERIC_WI_RED52

and FS EUROPE5 (to have english and italian) that unfortunately does not exist for this MAIN revision.
With no FS available the region of the Customization files does not matter but if I'm not wrong should be:

K800i_CDA102511_49_R10A_Generic_Trade_Italy

There are some alternative that I can use for FS, or I should wait until FS EUROPE5 for R8BF003 will be released (... if it will :confused: ), I read somewhere that flashing a K810i MAIN and FS could be an alternative but apparently it could create some issue, what is you opinion?

Thank you for any help!

P.S.: I know for the moment I can't download any file from the site, I will wait or I will donate a paypal contribute. :) Bye!
