——————————————————————————————————————————

1. Download XS++ v 3.1!! Backup Your GDFS And Also INSTAL USB FLASH DRIVERS !! Read Here

2. Connecting phone to XS++

Shutdown phone . Reinsert Battery. (don’t start phone)
Then Click on Connect in XS++ and holding C button on your phone connect your phone to Computer to USB cable and don’t leave C button until XS++ detects your phone and requests you to leave C button.
On the Left Side of the XS++ it gives details of your phone. Read it !
EROM CID 52 are must ! or else stop right here !

This is the general way of connecting phone to XS++ every time you connect phone to XS++ this is how you have to connect !

3. Folder Creating Instructions and My Terminology !

If i say upload files to location own_custpack/tpa/preset/system/desktop/flash/
then u must create a folders like this

1. create “own_custpack” folder in the XS++.exe directory.
2. open “own_custpack” folder and create “tpa” folder.
3. open “tpa” folder and create “preset” folder.
4. open “preset” folder and create “system” folder.
5. open “system” folder and create “desktop” folder.
6. open “desktop” folder and create flash folder.
7. open “flash” folder and paste all .swf files you want.
8. then flash using xs++

You can also upload files using FAR MANAGER !! Follow here !!!

4. Using XS++ !

We use XS++ to upload files to phone’s File System

Shutdown phone, in XS++ Click Connect phone, Reinsert battry, holding C connect phone. Then in XS++ Main window Check customize file system option and in select phone model option you must choose own_custpack

Then when you press flash button, XS++ uploads the contents of own_custpack folder to the phone’s file system.

You can also use FSX Method to Upload files to phone FS instead of own_custpack method

——————————————————————————————————————————
5. Flash Menus

Download Flash Menus From My Site Download Area and also Se-nse Download Area
You can also download Flash Menus From Topse Download Area

Working of Flash Menus
Flash Menu have to parts. A Theme file .thm and a Flash File .swf
The flash .swf file must be uploaded to the phone’s file system and then theme .thm file must be copied to the phone’s Memory Card.
Ever Flash Menu must have a matching theme to use with. Or Else we will need to pair a .swf file and a .thm file to use them. Download the guide to couple flash menus.

After downloading flash menu copy the .swf files to flash folder
own_custpack
/tpa/preset/system/desktop/flash/*** .swf files her***
and upload using own_custpack

Later Copy .thm files to M2 card !
Remember u must flash only the .swf files !

6. Walkman 2 skins ( Click here to check out )
