A2Uploader Tutorial/Guide

A2 Uploader Tutorial/Guide.
Finally you can mod your DB3150 Phones. Thanks to laser.
Laser has released a File System Customizations to customize your A2/DB3150 phones.
DB3150 phones are k660, k850, w910, w595 etc.
All new sony ericsson phones are DB3150 !
Till now it was not possible to modify the fs/upload anything to your phone in case it was A2/DB3150 but now it is possible!
You can add flash menus, change camera driver, change acoustics, add languages and much more the same way as xs++ to A2 phones through it.
In the beginning you will need few thing from several sites. Direct links are:-
- A2 uploader.
- A2 Uploader Updated Version. Download both just in case reference.
Now installing drivers.
- Unpack a2 uploader archive.
- Inside it you will find USBFlash_driversdpinst.exe ! Execute it to install USB Flash drivers in an automated process.
Now lets get on the main part i.e. uploading stuff to fs.
- Run a2uploader.exe
- Switch off your cell phone and take out the battery and plug it back,dont switch it on back!
- Now come to a2 uploader. Click on FileSystem tool there at righ pannel.
- Now plug in the phone with C key pressed on your phone and don’t leave until the C button a2 uploader detects it.
- Now your FS will be opened and now u can easily upload files by drag n drop method !
- You can copy files form the phone to computer for backup via A2 Uploader again by drag and drop again.
Here are few of the pics for more!
Special thanks to jameslewis for providing these pics!
Directories where the appropriate files are to be uploaded:-
- - Menu: / tpa / preset / system / menu /
- - Drivers sound: / ifs / settings / acoustic /
- - Drivers camera: / ifs / settings / camera /
- - Images / Sounds Start-Up/Shut-down: / tpa / preset / system / settings /
- - Sound System: / tpa / preset / system / sound /
- - Sources: / tpa / preset / system / fonts /
- - Archives (images / sounds / etc): / tpa / user /
For latest downloads i would suggest you to join our support forums SE-LifeStyle or request here whatever you need ! You can find lots of downlaod content for customizing your phones at forums like se-nse, topse, se-lifestyle etc.
Update: A new version of A2 Uploader has been released. You can now copy files from the phone’s file system to your computer before you make changes in the phone ! The download link has been added 
!
Enjoy your customized A2 phone !
Regards !
Bhuvan !

when i tried to open the actual application my antivirus said that it contained a trojan horse…why is this?
Nov 12 at 01:19
i’m having problem connecting to a2 uploader. the status bar keeps on running and it can’t detect my phone then a pop-up window appears that says it detected a removable disk. the driver is already installed. what could be the problem?
Nov 12 at 08:44
Works perfectly…I just debranded mine using this tool and SEUS
Cool!
Nov 12 at 08:51
ya…with few antivirus this is the case…but thers no risk!dont worry!

Nov 18 at 04:30
Guys, is there any way to copy files FROM the phone, so that one could read them and explore what’s the current settings are?
Nov 18 at 08:31
@Hedgehogs
huh???which files???firmware ones???you can xtract a firmware sperately!
exactly i am nt gettng u!
Nov 18 at 10:33
Hey thanks for the info. Got a problem though, hope you can help me.
I installed some flash lite themes for my G502 with the a2uploader. They work fine but I can’t open the submenus with any of them. When I select a submenu, it just hangs there. When I press the end key it comes back to the desktop. Can you help?
Nov 18 at 14:18
@Malinthe
ohk
g502…nice set!
well…its the problem with the xml file!
try some other file…i mean…other pack!
it will work
the xml file which u r using…is not for ur device!
Nov 19 at 05:22
Can I backup my files in the phones (acoustic, camdriver, dispdriver,flash menu,font,shut down images) ??
Umm…
Where can I found language files for SE K850??
Can K850 use the same font as W760 as mentioned above??
Nov 19 at 09:11
@pv
ya….instead of downloading them one by one…look at the tutorial given here…EXTRACTING FIRMWARE
or download an extracted firmware from topse
Nov 20 at 03:20
bhuvan, thanks for the advice! I found just the extracted firmware I needed at topse.ru.
Still, out of abstract interest, I’d still like to know whethe there’s a tool out there that allows not only to read the filesystem tree on the phone and upload files to the phone, but also read the files from it…
Nov 20 at 09:13
can some1 help me i got a problem
first i turn off my phone witch is a k550i if that helps, then i take out the battery, then i open a2uploader and click fileSystem tool then i put the battery back in and connect it wile holding “C” then this comes up
ChipID:1234,EMP protocol:1234
PHONE STATE: “RETAIL”
FLASH CID: 1234
Elapsed:5 secs.
the numbers “1234″ are not the real numbers i just put it there just in case some1 can hack it XD
any way that’s all that happens what do i do now?
btw yes i installed it in first
Nov 20 at 18:22
@Hedgehogs
u will have to copy them to your pc and then u can read them!
well the extracted firmware got all those files!
Nov 20 at 18:28
@wes
a2 uploader is not meant for ur phone as the name says itself…its a2 uploader and urs is nt a2!
its db 2020…..so go for jd flasher or xs++!
Nov 21 at 12:33
@bhuvan: but HOW do I copy files from an A@ phone to my PC? What tool helps to do that?
The reason I can’t use an extracted firmware because I can’t find my carrier’s (AT&T) firmwares out there at topse.ru or anywhere else. Generic — yes, but no AT&T firmwares..
Nov 21 at 18:26
@Hedgehogs
thats good one!
well…y dont u debrand it????
i havent used a2 uploader…so cant say
well try dragging method!
Nov 22 at 03:29
Yes, I unbranded my phone, but I’d still like to be able to explore it as well as my wife’s branded version — for comparison. Some of the things don’t work on the debranded phone — like Youtube streaming. Also, AT&T’s celullar video website senses that my phone is not branded, and refuses to let me watch the stuff. I’d like to find out what identifies my phone to them.
I tried A2 uploader. It only allows to upload. You cannot drag files FROM the phone.
Nov 24 at 23:17
Hello- This is so frustrating. I have installed USB drive and run a2 uploader but it does not detect my W910 (unbranded), and when I press “file system tool” the a2u… screen disappears. I have been trying for 2 hours and am now screaming.
Any ideas ??
Cheers, LL-
Nov 24 at 23:57
@Hedgehogs
i can solve the youtube problem, google released a mobile version of youtube:
http://m.google.com/youtube

Nov 27 at 16:15
@bhuvan- Cheers for your reply but got it sorted. I disabled an anti-virus program and it’s working great.
Thanks for your reply !!!!
Cheers !
Nov 29 at 06:20
@ bhuvan: interestingly the mobile Youtube app at m.youtube.com stopped working too after the debranding — now the website says my phone is not supported.
Nov 30 at 12:35

Dec 02 at 04:03
Hi, i cant open the A2 file, any one know?
And why are the .exe virus??
Dec 03 at 01:15
i own a w910i … is it possible to update the main & FS firmware other than SEUS … like we r able to do with db2020 phone using xs++ … xs++ doesnt support db3150 … is there any other software ???
Dec 04 at 02:12
Hey every1.
@riyaz
no there isnt any free software to flash a2 phones yet. However, i dont see any harm in updating/debranding an a2 phone with seus because it was said that there is no cid 53 for db3150. I will soon be releasing a program to make debranding a2 phones much easier.
wish me luck!
Dec 04 at 10:03
I’ there. Wonderfull tutorial. The password for the fonts?
Dec 04 at 21:49

Hi. I read a few of your other posts and wanted to know if you would be interested in exchanging blogroll links?
Dec 15 at 12:22
Lets see, i will think about it. Your comment for some reason was flagged as SPAM comment here by wordpress plugin Akismet. Can you explain why ?
Dec 15 at 23:17
the phone doesn’t do anything..
Dec 16 at 12:12
what are you trying to do ?
install usb drivers properly, also don’t forget to press shut down or close file system when done with things.

The drag&drop function works, just doubleclick on the files in the program, or rightclick/read. You can find the files in the yourdrive:\installpath\a2uploader\ph_out folder
Dec 30 at 10:41
@Marty
