so, please post your procedure flashing first...
i will follow you later...

First of all I would like to tell the advantage (purpose) or meaning of flashing @format.

Flashing the phone is procedure of putting new firmware (software) in the phone. There are many reasons to flash our phones. Firmware upgrade, solve software problems(cam skrin putih,application error and bugs, convert our phones to some other model (most common is K800 to K810) and etc...

Firmware hnpon sony mempunyai dua bahagian:

Main Firmware – yg mengandungi phone software. Firmware utama yang mengandungi semua perisian telefon. File Main firmware ada .mbn extension

FS - adalah sebuah firmware yang mengandungi tatacara dan semua data lainnya seperti default Gambar dan Nada Dering dan semua fail lain yang digunakan oleh telefon. File FS ada .fbn file extension.

Bahan-bahan yg diperlukan(dah cam chef plak):

1.hanpon sony ericcson(lol)
2.kabel usb hnpon sony(yg biasa korang dpt skali ngan hnpon tu)
3.driver usb utk phone sony (klu pc tak dpt detect hnpon korang )
4.software MYPHONE EXPLORER-utk backup semua data2 cam mesej,phonebook,notes,webpage dan sewaktu dengannya..
5.software XS++ yg paling latest korang leh cari..(selain XS++, aku guna setool2 kit..lg power skit,nnti la bila-bila aku cite ape yg powernyer..)

Kat bawah ni tutorial utk guna XS++,DALAM BAHASA INGGERIS SEBAB AKU TAKUT SALAH TRANSLATE..nnti korang cop aku bg ajaran sesat lak..

Enjoy….

Tutorial: XS++ General Usage (Flashing, Customizing and File System Operations)

XS++ Key Functions

Flashing - XS++ is able to fully flash firmware to DB2000, DB2010, DB2020 and PNX5320 platforms. This requires one "Main" and one "FS" file.

Customizing - In order to fully complete a flash, or after flashing an "FS" file your phone MUST be "customized/Finalized". If you skip this step, you WILL recieve the error when turning on your phone: "Configuration error. Please contact your network operator or service centre."

FS Modifications - You may "hack" your phones File System by using "FSX". FSX will mapp your phones complete filesystem and then enumerate the files in each directory. You may, upload files, delete files, delete folders, create folders and browse the FS.
After any modifications are made, you MUST "Shutdown" the FS in order to save your changes.


XS++ Application Work Area




A1 - The log window. Outputs XS++ messages while connected to your phone.

A2 - Top status bar. Displays your phone CID, Baseband and name while connected.

A3 - Tab selection. Here you may switch between XS++ functions.

A4 - Bottom status bar. Displays dynamic information about what XS++ is currently doing.

A5 - Progress bar. Gives the user some idea of a functions progress.


Flashing Firmware With XS++

Step 1. - Find the firmware files you need. The are are many "free" resources(so jangan malu2,yahoo@googling la..dengan syarat korang tau sony model pe)

Step 2. - Select the firmwares (make sure you extract them first) by clicking the "..." buttons or simply dragging the file from the explorer to the box. You may flash Main, FS and Customize all in one go. Alternatively you may perform any single or multiple combination of the three.

- XS++ supports BABE files. If the file you are attempting to flash is not compatible, XS++ will reject the file and disconnect.
Click "Flash" and wait (this takes a while, 6-7 minutes is normal).








Step 3. - Flashing is done, you can breathe now. Disconnect and turn ON your handset.

Customizing/Finalizing With XS++

Step 1. - Take battery out of phone and put back in (do not turn phone on). Open XS++ and click Connect. Hold down the "C" button on the phones keypad and connect the USB cable.

Step 2. - Tick “Customize File System”, select model and region/CDA, click flash. If you cannot find a custpack in XS++ that meets your needs you may upload your own. Select "own custpack" from the CDA menu.

The make a folder in the same directory as XS++.exe called "own_custpack". Inside, extract the pack you want to use, keeping the tpa/preset/custom folder tree.







Step 3. - Done. Disconnect and turn ON your handset.

- If XS++ does not contiain the cust pack your require. You may download one, select "own_custpack" from the CDA box, create the folder "own_custpack" in the same directory as XS++ and then extract the custpack to it, keeping the tpa/preset/custom tree.

XS++ Built-in FS Explorer (ni utk hack@mod,korang leh tgok file system hanpon yg hidden2..pastikan korang tau ape yg korang ubah ,mod@hack!!)




X1 - Displays the current directory.

X2 - Explorer View. Displays all directories in the FS.

X3 - File list. All files contained in the current directory are displayed here. You may drag any number of files onto the list to upload them.

X4 - "Start" button. On entering the FSX tab, push this to start mapping your handset.

X5 - Pushing the "Upload" button takes you to the browse-for-file dialog. Please select a single file to upload to the current dir.

X6 - Disabled.

X7 - Pushing this button will delete a selected file. You may delete a directory by right clicking on X2 (requires shutdown and restart of XS++).

X8 - The "Make Dir" option will give you the chance to create a new folder in the current directory. (you must shutdown FSX, and restart to see the new folder).

X9 - "Shutdown" must be pressed if you wish to save your changes after ANY modifications .


FSX

Step 1. - Take battery out of phone and put back in (do not turn phone on). Open XS++ and click Connect. Hold down the "C" button on the phones keypad and connect the USB cable.

Step 2. - Once a connection is extablished, browse to the FSX tab. Push the "Start" button and wait for XS++ to map your handsets FS. This should take no longer than 60seonds. If this process exceeds 60seconds disconnect and try once more.

Step 3. - Now that XS++ has mapped your handsets FileSystem you may:
- Upload single files
- Drag and drop multiple files
- Delete single files
- Delete directories (manual refresh)
- Create new directories (manual refresh)
You may make as many changes as you like.

Step 4. - Once happy with your changes you MUST press the "Shutdown" button in order to save your changes. The handset will automatically be disconnected.

- If you do NOT wish to save your changes, browse to the Settings tab and press the "Disconnect" button.

Avoiding Errors With XS++ :



Always use a fully charged battery.

Check cable and phone connections before use.

Do not mix and match firmware unless you know what you are doing.

Never write a non native GDFS.



wokey dah abes satu hal..
tp lesson ni tak abes lagi..dari pengalaman aku pas jer abes customizing tu..dah abes disconnect..dah start phone..SIM PLAK LOCK!!..
FIRST TIME AKU KENA...MEMAMG MATI KUTU AKU..SUMA SIM TAKLEH PAKAI..SO TGGULA AKU POS PLAK CAMNER NK BERESKAN SIMLOCK TU..ATAUPUN SOUL METH NAK TOLONG SAMBUNG KAN..BIISA AJA DONG!! APE YANG PENTING!! KERJASAMA!!(wonderpet plak)

ok..pamir dulu ya..permisi..

very good and usefull tutorial...
i have something questions for you sir...


This Free Tool (XS++), can they repaire GDFS DB2020 such as Red Blink or Insert Correct Simcard?






....tq

insya allah bleh soul meth,pastikan u have the right GDFS AND ALWAYS AND ALWAYS BACKUP YOUR WORK!!

Tapi klu 'Insert Correct Simcard'-error ni la yg aku kata sim lock ni..

biasa aku guna setool2 lite sbb yg power nya ko bleh 'patch'..xs++ takleh..

guna setool2 lite utk patch 'remove simlock'..

KLU SALAH TOLONG BETULKAN YA..

Code:

insya allah bleh soul meth,pastikan u have the right GDFS AND ALWAYS AND ALWAYS BACKUP YOUR WORK!!

can i see the log/result to do this?... i mean repaire Red Blink with XS++ with only GDFS... no Need Test Point and Log Supreme??...

sorry, I doubt this because Security DB2020 not as easy for the repair with XS + +....



For the case Insert correct simcard, how we can make for 'patch file'?....






tq,

yes agree..

that why la i byk guna setool2 lite..
die boleh patch,write GDFS ETC
..
for Insert correct simcard..we need to make a patch file that can override the simlock(not sure the correct term)..

i will post later how to make a 'remove simlock' patch..

please give me a time to post..busy keja la soul meth..

but i m not a pro..im just flashing for daily@personal use..so i m not a pro flasher..if something wrong like THAT HAPPEN..I WILL START ALL OVER AGAIN..HAHAHA

setool2g, cruiser and dreambox for all the case GDFS...
