I haven't tried XS++, but I'm using an old version of the same program called PhoneXC v6. It surely works for W900. You need to put the files to be uploaded in the folder files_to_phone (the path for the SWFs is files_to_phone\tpa\preset\system\desktop\flash, which means you have to put the SWFs in the folder flash, which is in the folder desktop etc.), then start the .exe and connect your phone.

The SWFs aren't in the themes, they are in the phones, in the firmware. After you've put the SWF you want in your phone, you have to edit a theme to point to it. Here's how: open the .thm file (with winRAR or TUGZip), extract all files to a folder. Open the .xml file with XML Marker and add the line " [Desktop_style Type="File" Source="backstreet.swf"/] " above the line " [Background Color=... ". Instead of backstreet.swf you put your file name (emerge.swf, grouped_desktop.swf etc.). If there already is such a line ([Desktop_style...) you just have to replace the file name. When you're ready, you select all files in the folder (the pictures and the modified .xml) and add them to a TAR archive using TUGZip. To do that: select the files, right click+add to..., then a window pops up. You choose the TAR format and after that change the extension of the file name from .tar to .thm and then press ok. The theme is ready.

This symbol [ used in the explanation is wrong, but for some reason when I type the symbol, which is like a left arrowhead, it disapperas when submiting the post. So [ is the left arrowhead symbol from the keyboard, ] is the right arrowhead.

Ok, I brick my phone.
Using XS++ many times, with no success, but now it has broken my phone.
I had to use wotan becouse nothing work.
Now it's all ok, but I think I don't try another time...
However I get always the same error:
-try 4000
-..4201
and stop.

DAMN!
Yesterday I repair my phone with wotanserver. Everything ok. I shutdown my phone and go to bed.
Today the alarm work, so I wake up and turn on my phone.
WSOD!!!!
How it's possible!
I tried with xs++ to flash main, but WSOD is alwais here.
Then I flash main+fs, and get the same error of yesterday: configuration error...
I think xs++ don't finalize.
So I tried phonexc for finalize. It become to hacking, but like xs++, phonexs, also phonexc stops at 4201.
For this strange case I never be able to put flash theme and other stuff on my phone, and I have fear that my w900 can broken again.
I love this phone, but I think I sell it (and buy another w900 ).
I'm very sad....

It's possible by adding a line code, "eneble flash desktop". I'm studing!
However can you upload your flash theme?
Thanks.
Ah, what program you use? I use phonexc from command line, becouse xs++ lose the connection.
