Sorry if this is the wrong section, as I said, I'm a noob
Okay I downloaded XS++, but I have NO idea how to use it. (I'm trying to delete protected files on my SE W880i).
I've been following that tutorial by Mr. Thunderbird but I'm confused.
I'm stuck on the connecting phone part! ( )
I did the whole take out battery, wait, plug back in, hold C part but it won't connect.


That's what it says.
What am I doing wrong?

Try installing the usb drivers from the download section.

Welcome to the forum dude
have you downloaded gordons gate driver?

EDIT: By the way...
You did post in the rite section

Thanks.
I did download it, but I had no idea what it was so I uninstalled it.
I'll re d/l it.
Okay I'm not really sure what I do with it after it's installed.

do the process again

Damn it still won't work.

what happens?

Same thing as the log I posted in my first post.
When my phone comes on, do I put it on Phone mode or Transfer mode?

hi, im not an expert but i think youre doing it wrong...

turn off your phone first then hold the "C" button while connecting your phone with the usb cable...

if you do this correctly, XS++ should say something like this:

01:12:14| XS++ v3.1 (Darwin) Ready !

hope this helps!!!

Yup You have to HOLD the C button untill XS++ says it's connected

make sure to turn the phone off aswell....
also after the gordons gate is installed when the "found new hardware wizard" pops up then click install automatically then itll find and install the drivers

for some ppl the cable doesnt make contact good,make shoure that it does and hold C button till its connected
