FInally a tutorial about How to Use XS+ and FAR manager!!

Working with Basic Tools

2 basic tools are enough to do a number of modding in K750/W800i.
• XS++
• FAR Manager
So, now lets learn how to work wih these tools!

Working with XS++
XS++, is a customization tool. This tool can be used to Flash ur fone, with the files, which can help you access programs lke FAR and others. Another main usage of this tool is that, this is used to Flash your fimware. Basically, to work with this tool, all you need is,
• A DCU-60 cable, connected to ur PC
• The files that you are about to Flash
How to make ur phone accesible by XS++:
1. First, Switch off the fone.
2. Hold the ‘C’ button of ur fone and connect the USB cable to ur fone.
3. A “New Device Found” message ll be displayed. This device is the USB FLASH DEVICE.
4. Now, select “Yes, this time only” from the list of options.
5. In the next screen, select “ Install from a list or specific location”
6. In the next screen, “include this location in the search”
7. Now,” browse” the folder SONY ERICSSON, u ve downloaded from the net and go to USB Flash
Drivers folder and select the USB file from there.
8. Now, your fone can be flashed with XS++.
9. Close all the applications.

How to make your phone accessible by FAR:
1. Now, open XS++.
2. Hit start.
3. Press and hold the ‘C’ button and connect the data cable to your phone.
4. On the left side,you will be able to see all the info’s like CID, FIRMWARE, CDA etc.
5. Now, tick “Flash Main Firmware” present in the right hand side of the screen.
6. Now click the ‘…’ button (browse) and go to the folder, that you have downloaded(i.e the files which you want to transfer to the phone).
7. In the folder, go to Far -> Plugins -> k750w800_r2e_dcu.49r.ssw.
8. Now hit FLASH.
9. Your phone will be flashed and XS++ wil display FLASHING SUCCESSFUL or either hang.
10. You pone is now ready to be accessed with FAR.

Working with FAR:
1. Now that you have carried out the things as mentioned above, let’s see how to work with FAR
2. Open FAR from the downloaded folder and hit F11 on the keyboard.
3. This will bring up a popup window called, Plugin Commands.
4. Now, hit S in ur keyboard to select the SEFP plugin.
5. Here, you have 3 columns. Set Ur
• Device - DCU-60
• Speed - 921600
• Boot Script- K750_W800_CID 49. (If ur phone’s CID is 36, select K750_W800_CID 36).
6. Hit, “ENTER THE MATRIX”
7. Now, connect your phone, holding ‘C’ button, as you did before.
8. Now, you will see the window divided into two halves. The left side is your phone’s and at the right side is your hard disks.
9. On the left side, you will see two options, to get into your phone. FLASH, FS.
10. Flash, deals with patching, unpatching and reloading the the firmware after customizing FS.
11. FS deals with ur File System. Knowing the roots, you can mod the drivers and stuff.
12. After all, its very important to shutdown the loader. For this keep on clickin the ‘…’ in the top left hand side window of FAR. This will take you back to the prev screens and finally confirmation to shutdown will be asked. Click Yes.
13. And finally, after everything is done, shutdown the loader. Open FAR again and connect the fone to it. Now, select FLASH from the menu. On the right side, go to FAR -> PLUGINS-> REST -> [Your firmware. Mine is K750i/ R1Ca021. so, I'll select rest_K750_R1CA021]
And that’s all about Modding your phone with FAR!!

(You must be familiar to how to use patch files.)

Obviously we need an antenna for reciever.
so we are going to use any small metal part to act as antenna like aluminium chocolate foil, bike key, jump clip, a wire bit at the second pin from left of our data interface
(The place were we connect our charger/headset, there will be totally 12 pins and the 3nd corresponds to the FM antenna)
Place it such that it is not disturbed and then your phone will play FM without headset!!

Change images and sounds at startup and shutdown of your SE phone.!

Start up/shutdown image/sound change
The images must be in 176 X220 resolution,the file name must be like this
Boot image: SPLASH
Startup Image: STARTUP_IMAGE_SEMC
Shutdown Image: SHUTDOWN_IMAGE_SEMC
Startup Sound: STARTUP_SOUND_SEMC
Shutdown Sound: SHUTDOWN_SOUND_SEMC

And you must know to use FAR and XS to do this changes.
Startup and shutdown images and sounds are located in various locations. To change, simply delete the existing file, and copy in your file with the same name.

Here are the various names, file sizes, formats and locations:
Boot image: SPLASH in /tpa/preset/system/settings/
This is the 176x220 pixel image displayed at boot up, called the Splash Screen.
Can be in gif, bmp or png format.
Animation not supported.

Startup Image: STARTUP_IMAGE_SEMC in /tpa/preset/system/settings/
This is the 176x220 pixel image shown after the Splash screen.
This image can be chosen by the user in settings/display/start-up screen so you don't need internal file system access to change this image.

Shutdown Image: SHUTDOWN_IMAGE_SEMC in /tpa/preset/system/settings/
This is the 176x220 pixel image that is shown when the phone is shutting down.
Can be in gif, bmp or png format.
Animation is supported, but total number of frames should be kept low, and gif should not be set to repeat animation, as this will slow down the shutdown.

Startup Sound: STARTUP_SOUND_SEMC.mid or STARTUP_SOUND_SEMC.mp3 in /tpa/preset/system/settings/
This is the sound that plays when the phone starts up.

Shutdown Sound: SHUTDOWN_SOUND_SEMC.mid or SHUTDOWN_SOUND_SEMC.mp3 in /tpa/preset/system/settings/
This is the sound that plays when the phone is shutting down.

Have Fun...!

Sony Ericsson GPRS settings.

I have seen people around here struggling to get settings of gprs for their phone.
These mobile operators dont seem to have the correct configurations for sony ericssons.(esp. operators like Idea cellular in India).

So all you people, simply go to http://www.sonyericsson.com/ and get your gprs settings directly from there.
You will get your settings directly send to your handset almost immediately.
This is the easiest (and also the smartest :)) ) way to get your settings.

All the best.

Sony Ericsson is always there to help us.

I love sony ericsson!

CONVERT A 512 MB duo/produo/MMC CARD TO 640 MB

CONVERT A 512 MB duo/produo/MMC CARD TO 640 MB
DO YOU GUYS WANT TO CONVERT A 512 MB duo/produo/MMC CARD TO 640 MB AT NO COST AT ALL.THEN READ ON...

I guess it works for duo/produo/mmc cards.
Your files in duo/produo/MMC is stored in multiple (disk) blocks.
So if you format using 16K block, the space used will be 16K eventhough your file is just 1K.

If you buy DUO/PRO-DUO, it is usually preformatted with 16K block. Therefore a lot of space is wasted as most installed program files are usually less than 2K.


You will need a card reader to do this:-
edit:u can also do it by connecting u r phone via usb



1. Connect card reader and copy all your files in the memory card to computer disk.
(Make sure you set the show all/hidden/os files to "on")


2. Do a format of the memory card using command line "format" and use the /A=size option.
Alternative, you can use the Disk Management in Adminstrative Tools to format.
Make sure you select FAT16. For 256MB memory card, smallest block you can use is 4K, 128MB is 2K, 64Mb is 1K and 32MB is 512B.

(Note: You cannot use the phone "format ext.mem" to do this as the format just clear the allocation table and does not change the block size)



3. Copy back all files to memory card.

Now you will find that you will have more space.
I have installed many software to to my 256MB memory card and it is nearly full. After doing above, I got an "extra" 32MB.

For those who have problem with command line format::

Just use the Disk Managament to format

1. Goto Start->control Panel->Administrative Tools->Computer management->Disk management
2. Select your memory card/usb drive. Right-click and select "Format"
3. Select "FAT". Choose Allocation size. For 256Mb MMC select 4K, 128Mb MMC select 2K, 64Mb MMC select 1K and 32Mb MMC select 512B

Some people say it does not work on mmc cards!!

All about IMEI

Structure of the IMEI and IMEISV

The IMEI (14 digits plus check digit) or IMEISV (16 digits) includes information on the origin, model, and serial number of the device. The structure of the IMEI/SV are specified in 3GPP TS 23.003. The model and origin comprise the initial 8-digit portion of the IMEI/SV, known as the Type Allocation Code (TAC). The remainder of the IMEI is manufacturer-defined, with a Luhn check digit at the end (which is never transmitted).
As of 2004, the format of the IMEI is AA-BBBBBB-CCCCCC-D, although it may not always be displayed this way. The IMEISV drops the Luhn check digit in favour of an additional 2 digits for the Software Version Number (SVN) in the format AA-BBBBBB-CCCCCC-EEAA BBBBBB CCCCCC D EEReporting Body Identifier, indicating the GSMA-approved group that allocated the model TAC The remainder of the TAC Serial sequence of the model Luhn check digit of the entire number (or zero) Software Version Number (SVN).
Prior to 2002, the TAC was 6 digits long and followed by a two-digit Final Assembly Code (FAC), which was a manufacturer-specific code indicating the location of the device's construction.

For example the IMEI code 35-209900-176148-1 or IMEISV code 35-209900-176148-23 tells us the following:TAC: 352099 so it was issued by the BABT and has the allocation number 2099FAC: 00 so it was numbered during the transition phase from the old format to the new format (described below)SNR: 176148 - uniquely identifying a unit of this modelCD: 1 so it is a GSM Phase 2 or higherSVN: 23 - The 'software version number' identifying the revision of the software installed on the phone. 99 is reserved.
The format changed from April 1, 2004 when the Final Assembly Code ceased to exist and the Type Approval Code increases to eight digits in length and became known as the Type Allocation Code. From January 1, 2003 until this time the FAC for all phones was 00.
The Reporting Body Identifier is allocated by the Global Decimal Administrator; the first two digits must be decimal (ie less than 0xA0) for it to be an IMEI and not an MEID.
The new CDMA Mobile Equipment Identifier (MEID) uses the same basic format as the IMEI.Retrieving IMEI information from a GSM device
On many devices the IMEI number can be retrieved by entering *#06#. The IMEI number of a GSM device can be retrieved by sending the command AT+CGSN. For more information refer the 3GPP TS 27.007, Section 5.4 /2/ standards document.
Retrieving IMEI Information from an Ericsson or Sony Ericsson handset can be done by entering these keys: Right * Left Left * Left * (Other service menu items will be presented with this key combination).

The IMEI information can be retrieved from most Nokia mobile phones by pressing *#92702689# (*#WAR0ANTY#), this opens the warranty menu in which the first item is the serial number (the IMEI). The warranty menu also shows other information such as the date the phone was made and the life timer of the phone.
The IMEI can frequently be displayed through phone menus, under a section titled 'System Information', 'Device', 'Phone Info' or similar. Many phones also have the IMEI listed on a label in the battery compartment.

IMEI and the law

Many countries have acknowledged the use of the IMEI in reducing the effect of mobile phone theft, which has increased exponentially over the last few years[citation needed]. For example, in the United Kingdom under the Mobile Telephones (Re-programming) Act, changing the IMEI of a phone, or possessing equipment that can change it, is considered an offence under some circumstances.
There is a misunderstanding amongst some regulators that the existence of a formally allocated IMEI number range to a GSM terminal implies that the terminal is approved or complies with regulatory requirements. This is not the case. The linkage between regulatory approval and IMEI allocation was removed in April 2000 with the introduction of the European R&TTE Directive. Since that date, IMEIs have been allocated by BABT (acting on behalf of the GSM Association) to legitimate GSM terminal manufacturers without the need to provide evidence of approval.
In Singapore, however, despite the high usage of mobile phones and the increasingly frequent cases of mobile phone theft, there is apparently no infrastructure available to "ban" the use of a stolen phone, given the IMEI. None of the local service providers seem to be aware of the IMEI or its use and most service providers believe that most phones still do not possess the technology to allow the service providers to "ban" the use of a stolen phone[citation needed].

Blacklist of stolen devices

When mobile equipment is stolen or lost, the operator or owner will typically contact the Central Equipment Identity Register (CEIR) which blacklists the device in all operator switches so that it will in effect become unusable, making theft of mobile equipment a useless business.
The IMEI number is not supposed to be easy to change, making the CEIR blacklisting effective. However this is not always the case: IMEI may be easy to change with special tools and operators may even flatly ignore the CEIR blacklist.
Difficulties
* "New IMEIs can be programmed into stolen handsets and 10% of IMEIs are not unique." According to a BT-Cellnet spokesman quoted by the BBC. [1]* Facilities do not exist to unblock numbers listed in error on all networks. This is possible in the UK, however, where the user who initially blocked the IMEI must quote a password chosen at the time the block was applied.

Covert i.e Flash k750 into w800

Tutorial:Flash K750(Cid36&49) to W800

and all the programmers at http://www.se-nse.com/

Convert (Flash) K750i into w800i
You got your K750 the other day and you were damn satisfied with the gizmo… but the story does not end here. It seems Sony didn’t ship this set with some more features that its hardware can support… The company fooled the customers by changing the K750 casing to Orange-White and named it W800i…In short, the K750 and W800 have the EXACT same motherboard… which made some nut cases out there to try out some dirty tricks!!! And the results were fruitful… K750 can easily be flashed to W800!!! The only barrier that separated K750 from a W800 was the software and that has been broken!!!!
Now… as I promised my friends, here is a step-by step easy guide to flashing your K750 to W800!

ATTENTION:
W800 firmware is encrypted as CID36. K750 is available in 2 encryptions … CID36 and CID49. Older K750s (7-8 months old) came with CID36. If your phone is new, it has to be CID49. You will find out your CID number in the tutorial itself so don’t worry about that. Just follow the instructions…
CID36 K750s can be directly flashed to W800. For CID49 K750s, we need to first convert the W800 CID36 firmware to CID49 and then flash. Things will become clearer in the tutorial itself, so no need to panic at this point!
Before flashing, back up all your data, contacts etc. etc. because your phone will be completely wiped out in the process.
Remove SIM and memory card for the entire procedure.
During flashing process, avoid touching your PC or phone or USB cable. Do not take your eyes off the screen during the entire procedure.
Do not let your phone turn ON at any point of time. Flashing takes place only when phone is switched OFF!!!!


Flash your phone in the exact same order as I have given. i.e1) Flash FS2) Customize FS3) Flash MAINReason being XS++ has a bug and flashing works this way only.
The entire process may take between 15 minutes to half- hour.
Now, I have packaged all the necessary softwares and tools that we require into one!!!
Download the whole package from here:
http://rapidshare.com/files/12706205/K750toW800.rar.html
Unpack the rar file using WinRAR.
The package includes:
XS++: This program is used to flash you phone’s firmware!!! This also lets you check your CID number!!!
Gslide: This program converts W800 CID36 firmware to CID49, to make the firmware compatible to K750 CID49 phones. CID36 users need not use this.
W800 Firmware: Your Main and File System files. Lets say these are your W800s operating system files!!!
USB Flash Driver: The driver you need to enable your phone for flashing through USB cable. Note that these drivers are NOT the same ones you get on K750 PC suite CD!
Now we are ready to flash!If your phone gets fucked up, then its not my fault! Although this process is 100% safe, but I know there are a few dumbasses out there who would want to go overboard with this. So my advice to you is do not, at any point, deviate from the instructions… just follow everything blindly. DO NOT ASK SILLY QUESTIONS.
If you have flashed before, or have used the Sony Ericsson Update Service sometime earlier, then your flash drivers may be installed so you can skip STEP1. For people who are new to flashing, this is a must!



STEP1: Installing USB Flash Driver.
Turn off your phone. Remove SIM and memory card, and re-insert battery. Do not turn ON.Inside K750toW800 folder, goto XS++ folder and open the program. now click START. While pressing and holding the ‘c’ button on your fone’s keypad, insert USB cable. Windows will detect a new hardware and ‘Install new hardware’ wizard pops up. Release the ‘c’ button. In the wizard, click ‘no, not at this time’ and next. Choose to install from a specified location and click next. Under ‘search for the best drivers to install’, check ‘include this location in the search’. Under ‘browse’, choose the path to the unpacked folder you downloaded and select the folder USB Flash Driver. Now click next and let the windows install the driver.After installing the driver, close XS++ and disconnect phone and turn it off in case it has switched on. Remove battery for 2 seconds and re-insert it (to refresh your phone).Now your phone is ready to be flashed. But first let us check your CID number.
Again open XS++, click START, and insert cable while pressing ‘c’ the same way as before. Your fone gets detected and on the left side of the screen, you get the detailed info of your phone including the EROM CID number.
If you have CID 36, then skip STEP2 and go directly to STEP3. Do not close XS++ or unplug your fone.

STEP2:
Now, you know you have a CID49. So our job is to convert the CID36 firmware to CID49.Open Gslide. for flashfile, click ‘…’ and select the file named ‘W800_R1BC002_MAIN_EU_EMEA.bin’ inside the W800 Firmware folder.Inside ‘output’ type in the path… C:\MAINFLASH.binNow click ‘Process’. After sliding process is completed, again click ‘…’ for flashfile and select file ‘W800_R1BC002_FS_EMEA6.bin’ inside the same folder. Under output type in C:\FSFLASH.bin and hit process. Close the whole program after sliding completes.
Now you have generated 2 files in C:\ drive using Gslide. MAINFLASH.bin and FSFLASH.bin

STEP3: Flashing FS.
For CID36: Your phone is already detected by XS++. Under Select Firmware, check Flash File System, and then click ’…’ , now select the file ‘W800_R1BC002_FS_EMEA6.bin’ inside W800 Firmware folder. Hit flash… the flashing process is now initiated. After completion of 291 blocks, it will say either ‘done flashing’ or hang at ‘finishing flash’. Don’t worry about it. Close the program and unplug phone. Again take-out and reinsert battery to refresh. Goto STEP4.

For CID49: Inside XS++, Under Select Firmware, check Flash File System, and then click ’…’ , now select the file ‘FSFLASH.bin’ in the C:\ drive which we generated from Gslide. Hit flash to start flashing process. After completion of 291 blocks, it will say either ‘done flashing’ or hang at ‘finishing flash’. Don’t worry about it. Close the program and unplug phone. Again take-out and reinsert battery to refresh.

STEP4: Customizing FS.
Common for CID36 and CID49: Again open XS++ and connect the phone same way as we did before. Now check Customize File System and then select phone model ‘W800’, select CDA and region ‘EMEA_6(CDA102430/6)’. Hit Flash. It will ask you whether you want to use ‘breakin’ or ‘brute-force’. Click ‘yes’ for breakin and strictly follow instructions on the left side of the screen. It will ask you to connect and re-connect phone 2-3 times by press and hold ‘c’ method. Do not panic at any point here, just follow the instructions carefully on the left. At the point when it says ‘FS activation’, wait for 3 minutes. After completion, close XS++ and unplug fone. Refresh by re-inserting battery.


STEP5: Flashing MAIN.
For CID36: Open XS++ and again connect your phone the same way. Under Select Firmware, check Flash Main, and then click ’…’ , now select the file ‘W800_R1BC002_MAIN_EU_EMEA.bin’ inside W800 Firmware folder. Hit flash… the flashing process is now initiated. After completion of 291 blocks, it will say either ‘done flashing’ or hang at ‘finishing flash’. Unplug your phone and close XS++.
For CID49: Open XS++ and again connect your phone the same way. Under Select Firmware, check Flash Main, and then click ’…’ , now select the file ‘MAINFLASH.bin’ in the C:\ drive which we generated from Gslide. Hit flash… the flashing process is now initiated. After completion of 291 blocks, it will say either ‘done flashing’ or hang at ‘finishing flash’. Unplug your phone and close XS++.


STEP6:
Now, insert your SIM and memory card and turn on the phone, wait for sometime as the phone takes time loading from a brand new firmware.
KABOOM!!! You have a brand new W800!!! Enjoy the cool new WALKMAN startup!

Access CID49 Filesystem

Now you can access your filesystem on your CID49!!! That means you can customize your fone manually, change drivers, modify the look of your menus and God knows what not!!! Heres how…
Download the FAR manager with pre-installed CID49 plugin here….http://rapidshare.com/files/14770399/Far.rar.html
Unpack the folder.
As an example, I will show you how to change the speaker sound driver and camera driver for your mobile. Download the new drivers from here….
Copy the new drivers folder in to the FAR manager folder.http://rapidshare.com/files/14771029/new_drivers.rar.html
The above package includes Super loud speaker driver and Camera driver 7.7 final.

1) Firstly, we need to patch our MAIN firmware to make it compatible with FAR plugin. For this remove SIM and connect your phone with XS++ (or any other flashing program that you use), and check to flash MAIN. Click ‘…’ and browse to the FAR folder and then to Plugins folder. Select the file according to your phone model, in my case, ‘k750w800_r2e_dcu.49r.ssw’ (for K750/W800/W700 CID49) . Now hit flash . 5 flashblocks will be loaded in 5 seconds!!!). Now our MAIN is patched.

2) Close XS++, unplug fone and re-insert battery to refresh. Now open FAR manager program. Press F11 and then select SEFP plugin. in the following screen select… Device:DCU60, Speed: 921600 Boot Script: According to fone model (k750_w800_CID49 in my case). Impatient souls would select k750_w800_CID36 by mistake… so watch out!!! Hehe… Now Enter The MATRIX!!!Connect your fone as we do in flashing… your fone should get detected. after a few seconds, a screen will show you two folders, FLASH and FS.Note that the window is divided into two… the left side represents your phone contents. The right side represents your hard drive contents… currently inside FAR manager folder.


3) Now double click on FS and wait for a couple of minutes till it breaks into your FileSytem. Now you are inside the den!!! All files that govern your fone’s functionality are right before your eyes!!! Before we copy new drivers into your fone, u must create a backup folder for your original drivers (in case you need them). So on the right side (harddrive) of your screen, click anywhere and press F7 to create a new folder. Name it as ‘backup’. On the left side (fone FS) open the folder, ifs>settings>camera… you will see a file named camdriver0.dat. this is your camera driver!!! Click and drag this driver to the backup folder. now, to delete the original driver from fone’s FS, select it and click delete (bottom right of screen) or simply press F8. now goto the ‘new drivers’ folder on hard-drive and drag the file named camdriver0.dat into camera folder on the left, where we had the older file. We have successfully changed the camera driver. Now goto ifs>settings>acoustic. You will find a number of files there. Search for ‘farfield_play.apf’. again, drag this file to backup folder and delete the original from fone. Now drag and drop farfield_play.apf inside the new drivers folder into the fone. We are done with changing the drivers!!!

4) Now, that we are finished with our operations, we need to shutdown the loader. For this keep on clicking ‘..’ (root of folder) until it asks you to shutdown CSFS loader. Click yes and close FAR manager, and unplug fone. Reinsert battery to refresh.


5) The final step is to un-patch the MAIN firmware. Again, open FAR manager program, and connect fone, the same way as before. This time goto FLASH instead of FS. Now your inside FLASH. On the left side, you are in FAR manager folder. goto Plugins folder and then to REST. You see a number of files… with prefix ‘REST_’ followed by your fone’s firmware version. Select the appropriate file of your MAIN firmware (I have a k750 flashed to w800 r1bc002 main so REST_W800_R1BC002 in my case) and drag it to anywhere on the left side. Hit flash. Close FAR manager and unplug your fone. The job is done!!!
Insert SIM and turn on your fone and see the difference for yourselves…
The speaker (not headsets) volume while playing songs on media player is way 2 louder!!! People around you will envy you… especially the TOKIA users.Also note that in the new camera driver, frames per seconds (fps) in viewfinder has increased and autofocus is superfast!!!
Enjoy the new experience…
