W300i Help Needed Big Time Options

[wrathofpyro]

I flashed my w300i with XS++ using:

For the FS
and
http://www.iprotebe.cz/download/w300_r4ea0..._red49.rar.html
For the MAIN
Everything seemed to have went well but when I rebooted the phone after the flash I got:
Configuration error. Please contact your service provider or service center.
This phone is from FIDO and I plan on using FIDO with it. Can anyone please help me? I need to fix this urgently as my dad's birthday is comming up very soon.

Ok nevermind, I solved it by flashing a custom filesystem. Does anyone know how to put flash menus and install things like camera drivers?

3. 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 !

4. 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++

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.
