So by using this guide, is it possible to flash my G705 to W705/W715 now? It seems to be possible, but the limiting factor is that W715 is Vodafone only. Or has this been changed and now there's original Sony Ericsson firmware available?
Is there another way to do this flashing as well? Also found this but the link doesn't seem to work. Edit: Can someone direct me to how to start modding my phone as well? I found some acoustics and camera drivers that I'd like to test. This post has been edited by geokilla: 2009-03-30 21:22 -------------------- G705 flashed to W715 R1GA030

There goes my intentions of changing my G705 to W715. So can someone point me to how to start modding my phone? Oh and admins please move this to the appropriate forum if it's in the wrong forum. Thank you. -------------------- G705 flashed to W715 R1GA030

It’s simple; with a2uploader I uploaded the "nordic" firmware (W715_R1DA035_FS_NORDIC_RED52.fbn, W715_R1DA035_MAIN_GENERIC_NR_RED52.mbn and C905_1209-4769_R6A_GENERIC_NORDIC). After that, I connected my phone to my wireless connection and I made an update using the phone. This update "transformed" R1DA035 to R1FA035 and I has uploaded the language pack "f" to the my phone sorry about my english, i have forgot how to write in past simple

And it's still a cid 52; I have unlocked using aerix before doing something. If you an “English speaker” you don't need to make the "transformer" step, because all FS have English |

Transformer step is the step when the phone "upgrade" to R1FA035. try to reflash without the CDA, or with SE CDA File Maker v2.0 create a upgrade xml to "R1FA035" I have forgot how to make this step

I have do this again (transform g705 in w715) to put the phone with R1FA035 using FOTA you need to disconnect the battery after phone flash (W715_R1DA035_FS_NORDIC_RED52.fbn + W715_R1DA035_MAIN_GENERIC_NR_RED52.mbn + C905_1209-4769_R6A_GENERIC_NORDIC without the phone turns on) remove the battery when loading bar is full (two times I thing) and now use FOTA |

So, you flash, the phone will say "please wait" and after the loading bar comes to 100% remove the battery, two times I think, now you can use FOTA... For me results  |

I will try the method described... -------------------- |

Remove battery after phone is turned off, then put it back in
I load my R1DA035 firmware Let it fully boot and everything (say give it 3 minutes) Go to the FOTA service page Download the files Wait and hope it works Right? -------------------- G705 flashed to W715 R1GA030

Apparently the goal is to avoid writing or recording "something" of custom file in the phone, BUT the window "please wait" will continue to appear until the completion of all tasks in the custom file... so
 Well I've given the benefit of the doubt, and it worked!! In the first try, after the first 2 seconds of completing the bar, I remove the battery, then I restart, and "please wait" no longer appeared then, the phone update service's (after a long long time) update R1DA035 to R1GA026 smokada Thank you very much for the tip  but now language files for R1FA035 don't work  -------------------- |
