my lappy just detect the fon like normal data transfer..

u switch off ur hp or not

what is patching what is modding? anyone can tell me?

kindly step outside and check, vanderchrome is sharing his stuffs

i get this from se-nse forum....


So what's this guide about?
Read above, newbie

I wanna mod my phone NOW! So where do I start?
Well, let me break it down for ya....
All SE phones are basically broken down into groups... Since this is a quickstart guide, I'll be defining terms very concisely....
You'll need to find out your phone's Platform, CID, EROM, Colour and Firmware version... for a start

CID is basically the protection system used on your phone, it determines the loaders used to break into it
Current CIDs in use by SE are 29/36/37/49/50/51/52/53
The most common CIDs are 36, 49, 51/52, 53
The most modifications that are available on SE-NSE can be applied to the above mentioned CIDs, apart from 53, which is still under research and development, but there are tools that work with this type of CID

EROM is Extended ROM. This is the base part of the software which isn't flashed in normal update operations. It controls the flashing interface, the boot loader, etc.

EROM Colour:This "colour" defines what kind of phone you have.
RED Phones are typical retail phones
BROWN phones are phones used in development and testing
BLUE phones are the units that were assembled at the factory but never programmed with firmware/IMEI/GDFS

PLATFORM is the hardware 'chipset' used in the mobile you own. DB2000, DB2010, DB2020, DB3150 are the most common platforms, and DB2010 to DB3150 are supported by most free tools

FIRMWARE is the 'operating system' of your phone, it is divided into two parts; MAIN Firmware and FS (File System). The FS contains the system files that are required for operation of the phone itself, and the MAIN is the actual operating environment.

Now to find out this info, we'll use the basic SE moddin' tool, which is XS++ (download)
Where to get it?
We use The R&D Supersticky™
It's a topic made by Mr. Thunderbird
This topic contains all the links to all flashing programs and their guides, if applicable.
Download XS++ and Se Tool 2 for a start, most things on this forum are packed in RAR and ZIP files, so you'll need an archiving tool like WinRAR, or the free tool 7Zip. You'll need to install the USB Flash Drivers, read the respective general usage guides for each tool, and then profile your phone with XS++

Now, from that profile, we can see that my DB2010 W700i is CID 49 (EROM CID is what we pay attention to). It's a RED Retail phone, and it's running R1CA021 firmware

Once you have identified the phone, you'll need to see which modifications you can apply.
If you have a RED CID 36, 49, 52 then XS++ is your best flashing tool, if you have a BROWN 36, you can convert it to 49 through this guide. If you have a BROWN 49, then you'll need a service cable to use this guide

Also, SEFP is another good tool for CID 36 & 49, all of the links can be found in the The R&D Supersticky™

If you have a CID 52/53 and a newer platform, then your other best friend is JDFlasher. Both JDFlasher & SEFP are independent plugins for the FAR Manager application.

The first step to modifying a phone is making a GDFS backup, this is absolutely critical. Please DO NOT SKIP this step, it's covered in the XS++ General Usage guide, and also the Se Tool 2 Lite general usage guide

The second could be flashing the firmware you need. XS++, Se Tool 2, SEFP & JDFlasher can all flash firmware. You may select the appropriate tool according to your profile. The alternative is SEUS (Sony Ericsson Update Service) but it updates the CID on all DB2020s+ to CID 53, rendering the phone less moddable. It is safe for DB2010 and below.

After performing an FS flash, you do need to customise your phone. You do this by using custpacks. They contain languages and other important info. Most custpacks are embedded into XS++, but if you want to know more, or edit one of your own, then I strongly recommend you click here

Flashing and firmware guides are here
Firmware files can be found in here
Most firmware files can also be found here, here, or here
Some of the above website may require the use of Google Translate
You can also do a google search and include the '4shared' term to find firmware.
A sample google query is here
If you're having trouble flashing, you may post your problem here
Only after using this feature of course

Moving on to more advanced modifications, things such as Elfs, Acoustics, Menus, GFX and Camera drivers can all be found here
Be careful when installing those advanced mods and make sure that they're compatible with your phone.

The R&D thread contains works in progress, so you may look into them if you feel you are comfortable using items that are still yet to be finalized, but remember to read this first. You can also learn a lot from that thread.

Mods... Explained

Is it dangerous?
Using modded drivers does shorten the hardware's life span, but not by a significant difference. This is because almost all modded drivers are very high performance and push the hardware to the limit. Hence more wear & tear

Acoustics
These are the sound drivers for your phone, they control the parameters such as volume, clarity and noise reduction. There are many available 3rd party acoustics on SE-NSE. Please note that DB2010s use APF acoustics, DB2020s use ZAPF acoustics, and believe it or not, DB3150s use XML acoustics (citation needed) Acoustics are not firmware/model dependent but are platform dependent

Camera & Display Drivers
These are a bit self explanatory, but they basically control clarity and speed parameters. Camera drivers are model dependent. Display drivers however, may work on other models, and this behaviour has also been noticed on some camera drivers.

Patches
Patches allow for some extreme changes in how the phone works. They can change the UI, and security restrictions and a lot more things. Patches work by changing values in the firmware, though they are some patches that do write values outside of firmware, and these are the dangerous ones. Some CAN write to EROM but it's usually mentioned in the patch. This is why it is recommended to unpatch all your patches before flashing a new MAIN. Patches are firmware and model dependent. Strictly. Misused patches have been known to completely destroy a MAIN.

Elfpack/Elfs
These are small executables that use the phone's ARM processor. They can access many native functions of the
phone that allow for some unique applications that cannot be developed on any other phone. You will need the Elfpack and Elf Library patch for your specific phone and firmware, although the Elfs themselves are not dependent on anything, i.e, any Elf will run on any phone that has Elfpack and the necessary library functions. If you experience problems running Elfs, it means that your library does not have the necessary function(s) used by that Elf. Different libraries are released for different phones, usually dependent on the maker of the elf, who attaches the function you need in the form of a VKP patch alongside the elf for your convinience. Having Elfpack installed means that your SE can get viruses. Only use trusted Elfs that are verified by many users.

GFX/SysGFX
sysgfx is a patch that allows you to change the GUI of your phone using images to replace elements in your UI. GFX are the actual images that you upload to your GFX directory. On most DB2020s, images are converted to patches, you cannot have sysgfx the same way as on DB2010.
