Hi,

I am getting 'cant get ACK' and 'err:0015' from a2uploader when i try to patch with the patch .vkp file. Actually, i have patched my phone using ready made .vkp like acid battery and acid signal.

What i did was i copy and paste the lines in new text file. Added patchfile line (copy and paste). Then save it as .vkp extension with ANSI coding.

Am i doing something wrong?

Added a more indepth tutorial link from SE-NSE to first post. Includes all three A2 patching methods and is more detailed than the one here.

Sorry, I don't have the time to update this tutorial. Sorry Esatonians!

That folders are found in the internal file system. You cannot access them just like that. You need a software for it called a2uploader if your phone is of a2 platform or else xs++ for it.

Visit this tutorial for a2 uploader

No, you don't need to. When you upload a new file the A2uploader overwrites the old one.

This short guide will enable you to patch your A2 CID52 (DB3150 and DB3210) phone for free. Currantly there are two ways to do this at the moment:

1. With Latest A2Uploader by the_laser.

2. the cxchash method by den_po. This method is made easier with codeclaw cxcpatcher and is also quicker than this method explained here.

Both these methods require your phone to have a BROWN or "Developer" certificate. This can be done for free like this...

Use Aerix to go from RED to BLUE then
Use D-Ultimate Unlockerto go from BLUE to BROWN!

Patching a RED phone can't be done for free atm as the semcboot needs to be patched. If you happen to have a RED CID53 phone (W995 for eg) then there is no free way to change to BROWN. 2 logs from D-Ultimate Unlocker will do this (about 15 Euros). If you already have a BROWN phone then you're lucky, things will be easier and go straight to step 9.

NOTE: A2Uploader will display "BROWN" if you have a BLUE (Factory) phone!

Ok, you will need...

D-Ultimate Unlocker (No account needed)
Aerix (You will need an account here)
A2Uploader
...and obviously some patches for your phone and firmware.

1. Its advisable to make a backup of your "/boot" folder, just in case!
2. Start Aerix and press "Unlock".
3. Turn off our phone, reinsert battery and connect holding 2+5 keys.
4. Wait a while...
5. Now this is imporant: When you see "Restarting phone" HIT "ABORT"!!!!
At this point you'll see a lot of errors. Don't worry. Hopefully your phone is now BLUE.
6. Open D-Ultimate Unlocker.
7. Choose to change certificate to "Brown" and make sure "REPAIR EROM/SEMCBOOT" is checked otherwise phone will not start afterwards!!!
8. Connect phone.
9. Once finished, open A2Uploader, place *.vkp file in the 'misc' box and apply patches with the "Write script" option making sure the patches have this line in them...

;pAtChFiLe=/boot/phone_app.cxc

Example...

;C905 SW-R1FA035
;Change "Sony Ericsson ROCKS!" to "Nokia SuCKs!"
;Usage: (ServiceMenu-->ModelInfo--> 2,4,6,8)
;® D-Man
;(p) blacklizard
;pAtChFiLe=/boot/phone_app.cxc
15D851C9:536F6E79204572696373736F6E0A524F 4E6F6B69610A5375434B732100000000
15D851D9:434B5321 00000001

10. Connect your phone while holding 'C' and wait. A2Uploader takes a long time even with small patches.
11. When you see the popup, click 'No' to write the patch. If you want to remove it later then click 'Yes' at this point.
12. When you see "ELAPSED: xx secs." the process is finished and you can unplug your phone.
13. Hopefully, if all goes well you should have a patched phone!

If you want to have your RED certificate back then use Aerix again to unlock but this time let the process finish.

******* UPDATE *******

There is a more indepth tutorial by kaosblade which includes den_po's FAR cxc patcher here...

Thanks to the_laser, den_po, Jinx13 (For discovering the Aerix trick) and Shishir.
