What u need to do first of all is to restore back to ur original gdfs, then use seus to update, it'l probably tell u your phone is up to date, but choose to install anyway; this will rewrite the firmware of your phone.. this should fix the hanging thingy...but wont change your language settings...can anyone pls let us know why we cant seem to get past seus after using xs++ is it that seus have blocked it, would like to know how to go around it and also why it happens. peace

If you are getting the page not found error on the XS++ link, check the url and make sure it has xs++ in it not xs[space][space]

Yeah the images work good...

Anyway I think it should work on the G700 as the phones are very similar. You know this may be considered as regular UIQ3 mod (as many are released)... and also most of the mods work on all phones - almost all of them. So there are mods e.g. from p990 that work great on g900 and vice versa.

Give it a try I think it should work (if I'm not wrong). But MAKE BACKUP of the files you replace.

P.S> Worst that can happen imo is a dead phone and you would need an update firmware with seus.

I just can't get this to work! I am pretty sure I followed the instructions correctly. The software version on my phone is still 1205-0644 R6K839. When I run XS++ and backup the gdfs file again, it shows 1204-3148..R6K83 where it used to say the old number. So what am I doing wrong? The data in the .bin file I backup from my phone using XS++ shows the new cda number, but the phone still shows me only the old one. Is this even possible? How can the phone show me the old numbers when the gdfs file shows different ones? I am not even sure if the new numbers in this .bin file are correct. My .bin file was different than the example. The example in the guide showed only 3 characters in the second part of the cda version, whereas my phone has 6 characters. Plus, my .bin file doesn't have "000C" or "000D" which all the guides I can find seem to think it is supposed to have.

I can restore my old gdfs file (of course I saved a backup of the original), but that isn't going to get me any closer to updating to GW1. I'd rather not lose all of my data again if it isn't going to let me get the GW1 firmware anyway. I really want to remove chinese from this phone. Everyone says GW1 is faster, too ... I'd really like my phone to be faster.

I considered that it was possible I had to just reinstall the SEUS software, even though SEUS says I have the most recent version (maybe it will update to the new cda version anyway?), but SEUS will not give me the option of reinstalling the software. It just says that there are no updates available, and then I can either exit or update another phone.

I can upload my original .bin file if anyone wants to see it. If anyone can help me, I would be extremely greatful!

Epic nice WIN!

Thanks alot, worked like a treat after small fixes.

Got my phone from Hong Kong, but i live in sweden. So i couldnt use swedish language on it, neither was it possible to use exchange active syc cause of wrong organizer version.
Used this guide to change version of both cda and organizer version the i run the SEUS and after that when i started the phone i could choose swedish.

Fantastic!
