Part 1: Flashing The phone.

This part discusses how to flash the phone with firmwares.
The phone firmware consists of 2 parts, the Main firmware, and the FS firmware.
Main firmware contains the phone operating system. Where as the phone file syste
m contains lots of files needed for the phone to work properly. The phone FS als
o contains preloaded content like images and factory ringtones. With A2uploader
you can flash your phone with the latest firmwares. You can flash both main and
fs. Or only one of them, as you need. The main firmware has the extension .mbn a
nd the FS firmware has the extenion .fbn !
You can get firmwares from seusers.com or topsony.com or 4shared or esnips. We n
ow proceed to How To Flash The phone.

Re-insert battery and start your phone if you necessary.
You should connect your phone holding C, but if your Phone Start Button is C, Th
e connect your phone holding 2+5.

Imporant Warnings:
If you flash your phone FS, then all the data in your phone will be erased, All
your SMS/Contacts/Pictures in phone memory. So before flashing your FS firmware
you should backup every thing.
Also If you Flash your FS, then you will need to upload CDA files to phone file
system. You should upload Customize.xml and preloaded_config.xml to /tpa/preset/
custom/. If you forget to upload CDA/Customizaiton/CustPack files after flashing
the FS, then you will get a configuration error are phone start. If you forget,
don’t worry, just upload them this time before starting the phone.
While flashing the phone, don’t press the STOP button. Don’t close A2uploader, or do
n’t let your computer hang. Flashing the firmware half way may break your phone, a
nd your phone might not start.
