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

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

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 (>*

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.

What? You don't need to do that. Just use SETool2lite to apply qapatch!

I mean open setool lite, go through the list of models, there's no K770.
Unless you've got a newer version...
