Hello...
If im going to flash with XS++ where do i put the firmware files i have:
Z550_R6CA009_FS_APAC_RED49
Z550_R6CA009_MAIN_GENERIC_RED49
z550_APAC_Custpack
Where do i put them, which ones do i use ? so many questions lol.....
BTW What gets deleted of my phone when it has been flashed ? What will i needd to back up ?

First,
Everything in your phone, contacts, wallpapers, mp3, videofiles etc..etc gets deleted, so take a back-up of everything on a PC
Second it does not matter where you store the main (.mbn), file system (.fbn) but save the cust file in the XS++ application folder by creating a new folder in it own_custpak.

It seems i need a cust pack for MY region
does this mean i need to get new firmware files as well or just a new custpack ?
My phone is a Z550i and my CDA 102587
Posted by tranced
just need a new custom pack. here is a list: http://www.topsony.com/foro/cmps_index.php?page=CDA_Z550
the custom pack contains information about the configuration, language, region, operator, and sometimes predefined images, sound and other files sometimes these files are innecessary as the operators use them to customize their phones. it's better to use a generic cda as it doesnt contain any of these files but the basic settings the phone needs.

Also turns out that i need R6G..... Firmware not R6C
I found my CDA its the vodafone live australia one....now how do i download it ?
Thanks for being helpfull and patient, i'll get their in the end...
Posted by tranced
why do you say you need the R6C?
Posted by tranced
you can use this custom pack: Moli_Generic_CDA102577_101_R2A_GENERIC_APAC.zip

So im here with an unlocked australian Z550i that has a vodafone CDA amd that custpack will work ? BTW what exactly is a custpack ?
BTW I mean that the newes firmwareis R6G and i need to get firmware files of it......where can i download these....i have looked at topsony but i have to oin then post etc.....?
BTW do i have to use a custpack and is the one u gave me generic, and when i download it is a .zip i extract it and it gives me-->tpa--> preset--->custom--->then 8 .itm files and one XML file....should i save it as .rar or something ?
Thanks again ....

@nick: i'll get the right firmware for you, but tomorrow. are you in a hurry?
Posted by SE4NICK
No prob i got all the firmwares except the australian custpack....can i just use the custpack u posted earlier or do i need one to mach the rodgers FS ?
Otherwise im ready to flash !
Posted by tranced
if you re gonna flash the phone with xs++v 3.x you dont need the custom as xs has its own package. otherwise you can use the one i posted before.
Posted by SE4NICK
Ok so i can flash without a custom pack thats good !
I'll do it later on today..

@senick: did you follow the step 4) Customizing your phone on the Tutorial | Flashing/GDFS-operations/Uploading files with XS++, Guide to flashing your phone with XS++ from topsony?
this error occurs when you dont finalize(customize) the phone.
Posted by SE4NICK
Z550i wasnt in the list so i left it and uploaded the custpack with that FSX option......
then i tried to restore gdfs with R6G firmwares but i need the voda FS...
OR
Can i just go back and customize the file system with like K750 or K610 ?
PLEASE HELP ASAP...
what should i do ?
Posted by SE4NICK
Ok i just did step 4 i choose K750 and my phone works again !
Everything is perfect....! NO WAP LINKS
