Is it possible for you new P900 owners to extract the Communicorder from the P900 firmware? |

zol is correct people. Just because an app is bundled into a .sis file doesn't mean that it's going to suddenly work for everyone.
I know [-SWEET-HEART-] did a good job with the Camcoder last time but that was just a case of taking the files which were designed to run on the C drive and putting them into a nice installer for people out there to use. I got the Camcoder running by getting a copy of the files and putting them on my P800 manually.
I'm pretty sure that there is going to be very little chance of getting the P900 Communicorder to run on the P800. Try zol's example and see for yourself how a Z drive app doesn't work on the C drive. |

I see that u are very sure that is not possible to change attributes of an app located on Z drive,to make it work if installed on C or D ! Maybe it is!What do u think? Sweetheart will try anyway,and i'll pray

I have a dream. I'm dreaming of a better world. A world where there is no war anymore, no hunger, no diseases and where all P800 users will have their Communicorder...  |

@Benz-Driver: I'm with you regarding your dreams :) (including video recording on P800).
@petrutms: Changing a binary file to work under incompatible conditions is theoretically possible, but in this case probably requires a professional disassembly-level hacker with lots of free time, as the task seems to be much harder than, for example, eliminating a shareware limitation. I don't know if Sweetheart qualifies.
I would say it's easier to write one anew... |

Seems that you can't download the firmware...
After checking the version of the P900, the link : http://www.sonyericsson.com/updateservice/P900/frameset.htm allow you to download a Upgrading software, not the firmware.
If you install the software and start it, the PC will look to find the P900, once he has it, he will connect to SE threw internet and make the upgrade... If no P900 is connected, he will block Windows and you will have to restart your PC 
If you want the information that SE send to the P900, you will have to intercept them..good luck! lollllllll And even then you don't know if it's not cryted and if it is usefull for a P800.
No way threw that system to get the firmware.... |

Ohhh...
Ok, I did not know that is was driven by the romdrive!
But stil, u can hex edit it. And if that wont work, then it is noway possible for us to make the communicorder work from the c:
Maybe se will include a new communicam in the p800 with the next FW update.
There are still some people who did not reply to my reuest.
I would appreciate it if someone did reply who owns a p900.
It is not that hard to copy files to the memory stick and then to the p900.
A friend of mine is buying the p900 sunday. But its maybe, so i dont know if he is gonna by for sure...

I am not giving up 
The problem is that i am selling my p800, so if i dont get the files this coming week, i can never try to get Communicorder work on the p800
Many people now have the p900, i assumed they would know how to copy files from the rom and internal drives to the Memory Stick Duo and then to th pc...

Ow man, is it sooooo difficult to copy the files from the rom drive to the MD and then to the pc? I don't think so.
@P900 Users = Please be quick, we do not have much time.
Thanks |
