Installing USB Flash Drivers
Jan 29
To connect phone in flashing mode, and perform tasks like flashing the main firmware, FS or to upload files to FS you must have USB Flash drivers installed on your computer.
With out installing USB Flash drivers, you can’t use XS++ or SeTool 2 lite or JDFlasher.
In good old days we used to use SEUS to do this automatically for us, but now SEUS updates phone to CID53 which is not desirable, so hence we install USB Flash Drivers manually. Here is the tutorial ! Please read the tutorial completely and also check out the video attached !
Installing Drivers (for Windows XP)
Download the necessary drivers.
Then unpack the downloaded archive to a directory, your choice. (Use WinRAR to extract from archive)
1. Switch OFF your phone !
2. Remove the battery !
3. Reinsert your battery !
4. Don’t start your phone !
5. HOLDING ‘C’ on your phone, connect your phone to USB Cable !
6. Don’t Leave C through out driver installation.
You get a notification in System Tray ! Saying SEMC USB Flash Device
A new window should appear “Found new hardware wizard”
It asks permissions for to search for drivers for the device. Select “No, not this time” and click next.
Then select the option INSTALL FROM A SPECIFIED LOCATION(ADVANCED) and click next
Then choose “Search for the best drivers in these locations”, and check the “Include this location in this search”, now browse for the downloaded drivers.
Click next, Wait for some time, drivers get installed.
Now…….
Open the directory, where you unpacked the archive, In the directory, you will find a ggsemc.inf file. Click on it with the right mouse button, and then click ‘Install‘.
here is a video tutorial that’s almost the same as above tutorial, but with few steps missing, because my computer was already configured with some things

Hi everyone,
This is a moslty awaited tut, as I am looking forward to get rid of SEUS (just note that it is at 128mb in Add and Remove programs…).
Just two questions:
1- is the link to download the drivers working fine? I keep getting a Bandwidth Notice…
2- The tut PeTi makes reference to in SE-NSE uses a different approach and… different drivers? At any rate it is impossible to download them either…
Humble regards to Master Akshay and to the new star.

The link is alive all right.
Akshay edited it, he makes the reference.
If you can’t download them, then try using a proxy, or search at google.com, for sony ericsson flash driver…

May 27 at 05:17
I had to go into (start/ r clk My Comp, select Manage, dbl clk Device Manager) and actually try to update the driver, then follow the tut. My problem is I cannot seem to get the drivers to be recognized as drivers. It tells me there are no drivers in the folder I unzipped??? Grrr, I will chk tomorrow for answers.
May 27 at 05:25
I can tell the same, SEUS has drivers installed, intall it but never use.
May 27 at 05:28
AHH, following instructions help. Didn’t hold C the entire time. Thnks so much. May need more help later.
If you can’t seem to get the wizard to run, follow my instructions on going into the device manager and manually updating drivers. Rem to hold C =)

Can anyone help me?
I try to install USB flash drivers for my k800 and can’t do so. When i re-insert phone battery and conenct while pressing c, windows detects phone and found new hardware SEMC flash Device pops up, then it displays error that hardware cannot be installed, i’ve manually tried to update the driver but it cannot be installed. I’ve recently done a repair installation of xp due to my comp mailfunctioning a coulpe of weeks earlier, however before i done the repair evrything was working fine with my phone and JDflasher. I’ve tried to search for the file on my SE CD and still can’t install. Please help.

Jun 02 at 15:07
that’s bad. check out the video also.
as soon as you connect phone holding C after reinsering battery phone should be identified..
in windows xp..!
Visita its a bit different.
Jun 03 at 09:14
i’m using windows xp.
anyway, i managed to do it by right click on the drive>hardware>driver >update driver and i have selected the USB flash driver folder according to your instructions. but when i clicked next, it says that
“the wizard could not find a better match for your hardware than the software you currently have installed” what has happened? do you know what is the problem here?
by the way, when i remove my battery, reinsert it and connect my phone to the pc, the phone automatically on itself and enquires password for my phone to go into the phone status. this only happens if i remove my battery and reinsert it.
please help me !

omg fishbone that’s a lot of problems with that phone.
Installing usb drivers now is a hell.
try once again carefully.
besides i hope you have seen the video. the drivers are installed
else use some other computer.
or use some other phone to install drivers.
else you install SEUS. Sony Ericsson update service.
but don’t update your phone. yes don’t update with SEUS.
Jun 08 at 16:41
hey akshay…you’re a great person…im sure that this stuff works..but the problem is that i tried following the tutorial…followed da instructions….but wen i hold “C” and plug da phone into the usb cable…nothing comes up in the system tray…i unzipped the file and everything…after about 2mins…of holding the “C” button it goes to file transfer…would you be able to help?
Jun 08 at 17:51
Try the previous post, install SEUS. (to install drivers)
Jun 08 at 20:00
hmm so i switched phones with someone, and now i have the sony ericsson w580 and he has the sony ericsson k550i. i have an usb cable and an installation disc for k550i, but none for the w580. how do i upload files between my computer and phone? when i plug in the phone, i only get the phone card, and i cant seem to access it on my phone.
thanks.
Jun 09 at 05:29
The drivers you get on that disc are likely to work. I’m not sure about w580, but I know that my k550 disc had w200, w610, k750, w800. So install those drivers.
Jun 09 at 08:50

To flash back to original state you need the firmwares of the service provider, “rebranding”. An easier solution is to kill the phone so they replace it. I never did it, Akshay told about it. It is that you first make a GDFS backup, then use an mp3 file to Write GDFS. That kills the phone, and they won’t be able to do anything, they just give you a new phone. (at your own risk)

You can always try to reflash main and FS. So now connect the phone to xs++ and see what CID it has, according to that, download firmwares. Then use XS++ to flash them on. Then customize filesystem with a cda. Get files from seusers.com, topse.ru, share2flash.com, sek750.extra.hu.
