i have forgotten the lock code on my w700i and am unable to master reset it. how can i find the password using xs++ and reset it to 0000. please help

Posted by tranced
in xs you cant reset your code to 0000 because the w700 is a db2010 and xs resets the code to DB2020 phones:

now, try with setool lite and it'll tell you what's your code. just press the identify button follow the steps it'll give to you:

Hi

Your phone is a k800, right? I see you're using a k850 file.

Hi, I'm a newbie who tried using your guide to add W880i drivers to my K 790. I downloaded the XS++ software from the site you listed but the "flash" tab was "dead". I clicked on "Connect" anyway and a checklist started in the window pane to the left.

Somewhere, along the way I got a prompt saying "Are you sure you want to change EROM to CID 52. Note: This operation cannot be undone".

I clicked yes and then after a few while I got "operation completed" but the flash tab remained dead as a dodo. When I restarted the software I got a message saying "No phone found".

All the functions on my phone are working just fine. What I want to know is a) have I permanently damaged my phone in some way that is not immediately apparent and b) is there still a chance of loading the W880i drivers? I'd be very grateful if someone could provide the answers.

These were the contents of the window when I first started the XS++ software:

I have been having a problem with my K800i where the menu.ml file is corrupt. I have downloaded the original menu.ml but cannot just replace that file. I have read a lot about XS++ and pretty much understand what to do, but since this is my first time flashing a phone I thought I better ask the experts and make sure everything is in order.

I have connected the phone to XS++ and the details I have at present are
EROM CID - 52
EROM Colour - red
CDA - CDA102511/41 R10A
Firmware Version - R1KG001

Can you point me in the correct direction (or supply downloads) for the .mbn, .fbn and also the CDA.

I live in Scotland, Great Britain.

Many thanks in advance.

look for them there.

Posted by Boysie
You dont have to flash it to replace the menu.ml. Use the FSX feature of XS then upload the menu.ml to tpa/preset/system/menu

Posted by aquared29
sir am just curious, is there a risk when flashing a phone? like losing data or what happen? tnx

Posted by tranced
if you flash the FS you will get all your data lost. in the FS is where your data is stored. if you flash the MAIN, not.

Posted by aquared29
thanks sir ill try it but not file system to avoid losing my data,

Posted by tranced
that's why you have to backup your data before flashing

Posted by aquared29
ahh ok i see thanks again for guidance..

Posted by tranced

well, if you make a mistake you can "disable" your phone. but most part of the time it is repairable

I want to unlock a SE W580i with firmware R8BE001. I'm locked to ATT/Cingular. I'm trying to be sure I understand what I'm doing before I get into too much trouble!

(1) If I take an R8BE001 .mbn file from the net. Drop it into SIMLockPatchGen.exe, and create a Remove_SIM_lock_W580_R8BE001.vkp. Can I then simply apply this patch to my phone??
- or -
(2) Must I first flash this downloaded .mbn file to my phone AND THEN apply the patch?

From the tutorials, I'm not clear if I can do the least disruptive action (option (1) only apply the patch).

(3) A related question... Is the .mbn file (R8BE001) already in the phone IDENTICAL to the one that I downloaded or is the one in the phone customized for my ATT phone?

Thanks...

Posted by tranced
first of all you cant use this program to patch the phone.

you must use either jdflasher + far manager or setool 2 lite.

Posted by bitbucket
first of all you cant use this program to patch the phone.

That would explain why the "patch" function didn't work!

You actually answered a fourth question (that I didn't even ask yet). Assuming I were to use Setool_2_lite or JDflasher, can someone shed some light on questions (1), (2) and (3) from my previous post?

Thanks...

Hi to all. I have seen thet flashing CID52 phones has been very often nowadays, but many people are asking how to flash their phones and there is no such tutorial around the forum, so I decided to put one

.

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

. 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 and bugs, convert our phones to some other model (most common is K800 to K810) and etc...

Flashing the firmware is done by changing the MAIN and the FS part of the firmware (while not touching the EROM and the GDFS) which makes the flashing easy procedure that can be done with the ordinal DCU60 USB cable (the cable you get with your sony ericsson phone)

.

Once we know what flashing is, we can start preparing for the flashing procedure

. To flash the phone means to change the MAIN and the FS part of the firmware, which means if you want to flash your phone with new one, you have to download it. Firmware and other stuff can be downloaded from here:

http://www.sek750i.pl
http://www.iprotebe.cz

These pages are free and registration is easy and fast.

First, download XS++ flashing program.

When you download MAIN and FS files for flashing, you need to download finalization files for your new firmware. There are MAAANY finalization files (a.k.a custom files or custpacks and etc...) sorted by the phone's firmware CDA numbers. To download the right one for you, you have to check your phone CDA. CDA can be checked from the service menu (>*

2. about this FW, im from Malaysia. which FW can i take? can i flash the Europe_1 ... or APAC or else? and what is the consequence if i take wrong vers of FW?

The only thing you can do with xs++ and your symbian phone is to change the CDA and then use SEUS to upgrade your phone.
