I have a G705 that I flashed to W715 via A2Uploader. I've been waiting for sites like TopSony to get the latest firmware but they just don't have it. Does anyone know the CDA and the customize_upgrade.xml required in order to get the latest firmware?
Also, I need traditional Chinese working with those firmware, so can anyone give me instructions on how to get them working with the latest firmware? I totally forgot how *facepalm* -------------------- G705 flashed to W715 R1GA030

You can't use SEUS to upgrade to the latest W715 firmware. It will be confused by the fact that your IMEI specifies you have a G705, but your loaded firmware identifies your phone as W715 since you crossflashed. Once you crossflash, you cannot use SEUS to upgrade. Your only choice is to either manually flash W715 firmware, or flash back to an old G705 firmware and then you can use SEUS to upgrade to the latest G705 firmware.
Adding Chinese support is just a matter of uploading the language files and including them in customize_upgrade.xml (for example, if you have R1FAxxx, then you can use any R1FAxxx language files) --------------------   |

Guess it still doesn't. Time to continue waiting for the firmware...  As for the Chinese support, I recall you saying something bout the Customize_upgrade.xml. However, I forgot the coding for it...I'll try to find it on HoFo. This post has been edited by geokilla: 2009-10-01 00:20 -------------------- G705 flashed to W715 R1GA030

However, I forgot the coding for it...I'll try to find it on HoFo. yeah, SEUS will detect it as a W715 but it won't give you any updates for it. the xml is pretty easy... you just need to make something like this: CODE <?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8" ?>
<customization> <info> <allowed-language>en</allowed-language> <allowed-language>your_language_here</allowed-language> </info> </customization> -------------------- |

Thanks Pak.
Does anyone know why none of the sites have the new firmwares available? Heck W705 R1GA026 is available on SEUS and I'm still stuck with R1DA034 on my W715 cus the only way for me is to flash my phone via A2Uploader if I want to keep it as a W715 instead of G705... -------------------- G705 flashed to W715 R1GA030

W715 R1EA033 is freely available on Russian sites, you can at least use that.
http://www.sony-ericsson.ru/forums2/index....showtopic=51662 run it through Google Translator and you'll see links to R1EA033. This post has been edited by pakraider: 2009-10-03 01:12 -------------------- |

Is it worth upgrading from R1DA035 to R1EA033? Also, I was experimenting with FOTA and it seems that there's a new firmware available. Do you know what kind of firmware I'd get? Should I upgrade it using FOTA? -------------------- G705 flashed to W715 R1GA030

The phone seemed faster to me with R1EA033.
FOTA is interesting.. so you mean the 'update service' option on your phone offers you an update? which CDA do you have? -------------------- |

I think I have the right CDA. Either way, the custpack I uploaded was a W705 1220_9230_R6A HK custpack. TopSony doesn't seem to have a generic, debranded custpack for W715...Other sites might have them though.

custpack isn't a big deal, just a text file.. just make sure the CDA and variant name is correct.

Is it possible to Cross Flash G705 to W715, or any other Walkman

yes, just get the firmware files (main, filesystem, custpack) for the W715 and flash it using a2uploader.

Upgraded it to R1EA033 yesterday...I don't like this firmware. Texting is not as smooth as before and there seems to be quite a few bugs when texting and using threaded SMS. I'll be reverting back to R1DA035. All that work for nothing.
Update: Got G705 R1FA035. Major changes from W715 R1DA035. I'm gonna to see if I can get used to these changes. However I'll probably switch back to W715 later tonight. This post has been edited by geokilla: 2009-10-09 00:57 -------------------- G705 flashed to W715 R1GA030

did you try and upgrade the R1EA033 through FOTA?
I suppose it IS possible since that person did it; unless he's tricking us.

Er, I don't think R1EA033 gave me any FOTA upgrades. Don't remember...
I'm using G705 R1FA035 right now and it's pretty good. Only bad thing is the vibration in the flash menu, and shortcuts and soft key options on the main screen. -------------------- G705 flashed to W715 R1GA030
