*Image courtesy of Sony Ericsson Malaysia*Shiho is the codename of the upcoming Cyber-shot flagship model from Sony Ericsson, and we’ve got everything about it! Its final name will be C905, and it’ll be announced along with some phones on the 17th of this month. In this post we’ll announce it for Sony Ericsson, and save them the trouble, plus give the competitors a little something to wee their pants about.
The C905 is the latest camera offering from Sony Ericsson featuring a fully spec’d 8.1 mega pixel camera with auto focus, face recognition, a new feature called Smart Contrast, image stabilization, BestPic, red-eye reduction, xenon flash as well as photoflash for both photos and videos. It’s got a video stabilizer feature as well. You can geo-tag your photos with the built-in GPS with further support for A-GPS, and the large camera resolution makes it possible to do prints in up to A3 sizes! Your photos will automatically flip to landscape mode, when you tilt your phone, as it’s got a built-in accelerometer. You’ll be able to watch your photos on a beautiful 2.4 inch QVGA-resolution scratch-resistant mineral glass TFT display. Feel like sharing your photos on a TV-set? That’s possible as well with the TV-Out Cable ITC-60, also to be announced on the 17th.
That’s not all, though… C905 will be the first feature phone by Sony Ericsson to sport built-in WiFi with DLNA-support, so all media in your home can be shared. It’s also got the latest in Bluetooth connections, supports USB 2.0 data transfers, and can be synchronized with Exchange ActiveSync.
The Sony Ericsson C905 measures 104 x 49 x 18 (19.5) millimetres, and weighs a massive 136 grams. It’ll be available in Copper Gold, Ice Silver & Night Black in early Q4, with a bundled 2 GB Memory Stick Micro M2. It comes in three variants, two with full support for UMTS and HSDPA in the certain regions (even America). The battery is good for 380 hours of standby or 9 hours of talk on GSM networks, or 360 hours of standby or 4 hours of talk on 3G networks.

1. Download the necessary files provided by the link below. Unrar them.
2. Temporary disable your antivirus program. Don't worry the files are safe and have been scanned. This is to prevent antivirus from deleting the app files.
3. The entire package consist of the following files and folders:
a. 'Content' folder consisting 'Flash Menu', 'Standby' and 'Theme' folders.
b. A2 Uploader V3 zip file. Unzip this also.
c. USB Flash Driver zip file. Unzip this also.
4. A brief explanations on the files:
a. The files in 'Flash Menu' folders are SWF files which dictates how your menus look and behave.
b. The files in 'Theme' folders are your regular theme files. They are links to these SWF files so when you set a theme, the flash menus will be called upon.
c. The files in 'Standby' folders are only required for certain themes.
5. Ok, now we need to install the flash drivers for your SE C905 phone. If you have updated your phone with SEUS before, you may skip this step. The drivers are the same. Switch off phone, remove and replace battery. Press C and connect your phone to PC. This will set it to Flash Mode. Point Windows driver update dialogue to the flash driver folders. Remove USB cable from phone.
6. Remove and replace battery on the phone.
7. Now start the A2 Uploader tool. There's no need to install.
8. When the tool is started, click on FileSystem Tool. It will prompt you to connect phone. You have 30 seconds to press C and then connect phone to PC. Allow time for it to detect phone. Take note on the status prompts on the application.
9. When things are successfully initialized, you'll see your phone's filesystem.
10. Browse to tpa\preset\system\desktop\flash. Drag all contents from 'Flash Menu' folder there. Wait for the uploaded process to complete.
11. Click on the button to shutdown filesystem to end the session. Press Stop button and then Quit button to exit application.
12. Remove phone from PC, remove and replace battery.
13. Start phone and connect it to PC again but set into USB file storage mode.
14. Copy all contents from 'Theme' folder to the 'Theme' folder of Phone storage. (Do not copy to M2 memory card).
15. Copy entire 'Standby' folder to the picture folder of Phone storage.
16. Safely remove device from PC and disconnect phone from PC. When you're back to Phone mode, you can now set your themes.
Notes1. For Everchanging, Day & Night theme, you need to set the respective file from 'Standby' folder you have just copied to phone storage. If you set Everchanging theme, you set Everchanging file as wallpaper. The same goes for Day & Night theme, you select Day & Night file as wallpaper.
2. The flash menu for Everchanging and Day & Night theme does not work on C905 because it was ported from Flash v1.1. Our phones (DB3210) is using Flash v2.0/2.1. There are currently no fix for this. You have set menu layout to default 'Grid' as opposed to 'From theme', otherwise you can't select any icons from menu navigation.
3. The rest can be easily set without additional steps.
Disclaimer1. Proceed with caution and only if you know what you are doing. While the A2 Uploader tool is very standby and is relatively risk free, you still have a slight chance of bricking phone should you mess with other files in the phone filesystem.
2. A2 Uploader and USB Flash drivers supports SE C905 and other similar phones and has been tested on Windows XP, Vista and 7 Beta.
3. Themes and flash menus are for SE C905 and other similar phones (240x320 resolutions).
4. I am not responsible should you have brick your phone.
