This is not really a flashing subject, though many people would like to know how to do it. So convert your SE phone to a media center where you can watch movies!! Or at least watch video clips.
The application I suggest using has the slogan “does for FREE what other encoders CAN’T do for money”. It’s worth a try.
So you have to get it from their own site, which is pretty hard to do, the first part of this tutorial will be about obtaining the newest SUPER. read all »
I sometimes have a hard time finding info on phone architectures. You guys ask questions about phones that I have never heard of… So I don’t know their DB numbers, don’t know what you can do with them… Then what can I do? Look for info on google, but that takes a little long. Now here is the solution, I hope it will be helpful to others, too.
Recently I found a program called Sony Ericsson DB and CID explorer 1.3.
As you all know flash menus have two parts
>> The Theme .THM file
>> And Flash .SWF file
For a flash menu to work both the .THM file should be configured to use the .swf file in the phone FS, this can be done by extracting the .thm file and editing the theme xml database.
Or you can use SE Theme Tool software to couple a theme and swf file, so that you can use the flash menu with the theme that you want ! read all »
SE Image Tool for db2020 phones has now greatly improved and now making sysgfx patches is really very easy ! They by applying Sysgfx patches with JDFlasher or SeTool 2 lite you can easily replace the default pictures in the phone.
As example here are screenshots of my phone, check out the new battery, signal and the radio in the following screenshots of my k550@w610
SE Image Tools supports both MBN and RAW files, but its better to convert MBN to RAW using babe2raw. To convert just drag and drop the Main firmware MBN file on Babe2raw.exe and the output will be the raw file. Opening the main firmware .mbn file will also work but will take a few extra seconds to load.
Using the buttons at top you can replace images that you want. And SE Image Tool shows images replaced along with size of bytes left and size taken by replaced images in the left window. It has search feature that you can use to easily find images. Also you can check the options to show the names of the Images which makes searching easier.
If your new images are greater then the images in phone raw then you can deleted un necessary images from the RAW that are not used. you will find many weired images that you have never seen in your phone. So if you new images need more space, create space by deleted not wanted pictures. When you are finally done Just Click Make VKP button to get the vkp patch. Apply the patch using JDFlasher.
To apply SysGfx patches use JDFlahser, because its faster compared to SeTool 2 lite.
Thanks to Magister for Db2020 SE Image Tool
It is SUPER © Simplified Universal Player Encoder & Renderer, the best you can find. A very nice application, with very frequent updates. That is the main reason why I’m not uploading it to the download site.
