Sony Ericsson’s New Technology, Project Capuchin, Bridges Java™ ME and Adobe® Flash Lite™
30 April 2008
from Sony Ericsson Official Website)

Enables fast and clean user interface development for both graphical designers and code developers

Stockholm, Sweden – April 30, 2008 – Sony Ericsson Mobile Communication today announced plans to release a new technology that, for the first time, bridges the Abobe® Flash Lite™ and Java ME™ development platforms. The new technology and tools, referred to as Project Capuchin, make it possible to combine the richness of Flash Lite and Java ME technologies allowing developers to utilize the best attributes of both software stacks to create content-rich mobile applications. Sony Ericsson has plans to make the technology available during the second half of 2008 and will demonstrate Project Capuchin enabled applications at the JavaOne Developer Event in San Francisco, May 6 – 9, booth 718 in the Pavilion.

“Sony Ericsson is excited to introduce our new bridging technology to the global developer community as it further strengthens our relationship with this community and underscores our ongoing commitment to support an open, healthy and thriving mobile ecosystem,” said Rikko Sakaguchi, SVP and Head of Portfolio and Proposition at Sony Ericsson. “We are dedicated to exploring opportunities that enable us to provide innovative and energized user experiences. To achieve this, we work with world class partners and technologies, on both platform and product development.”

Project Capuchin will provide developers with an intuitive tool to create applications with a cleaner user interface (UI) without sacrificing the strong, feature rich and widely deployed Java ME infrastructure, including secure, well-developed content distribution. Project Capuchin’s bridging software will empower two distinct developer communities to leverage their respective expertises to create the next generation of highly engaging and immersive mobile content.

“Adobe is pleased to support Sony Ericsson’s Project Capuchin. Using Adobe Flash technology as one part of this new bridging technology will ensure further innovation for mobile users when Flash developers gain access to the Java applications’ functionality and intelligence allowing them to create applications with the ultimate user experience,” said Gary Kovacs, general manager and vice president for Mobile and Devices at Adobe. “It is encouraging to see Sony Ericsson’s intention in making the technology available to the wider community.”

Project Capuchin will allow pure Flash Lite content to be encapsulated in Java ME applications with the help of Sony Ericsson Developer World tools, making content created by Adobe Flash technology appear as Java ME applications.

More advanced capabilities will allow Flash Lite technology to handle an entire presentation layer and make it possible to create Java ME applications where some or all UI components are defined in Flash.

Terms of agreement

By following this guide you recognize that SE-NSE or the XS++ Team or Me take no responsibility for any damage caused to your handset while doing so, having said that, it is very unlikely that you will.
If you do not agree to these terms leave this page now.
Terms to know

Firmware: The software that makes up the entirety of your phone. The firmware consists of:

GDFS: This piece of firmware contains the settings, attributes, and essential components needed to make the phone fully functional. Damaging this will automatically corrupt it, rendering your phone useless. This guide will explain how to backup this necessary component incase it becomes corrupt. Backup of this is necessary because this component is unique to every phone, meaning that no two GDFS will be the same. Flashing a different
GDFS, whether it says it is clean or not, will result in an automatic death of your phone .

FS ( FileSystem ): This firmware file contains all the files that run your phone (Sound files, menu files, etc.) Every time you flash a new FS onto your phone, you will need to customize
the phone, or you will experience an error.

MAIN: The Operating System (OS) of your phone. Without this, the phone will not run, and will not turn on. After a MAIN file has been flashed, the phone does not need to be customized.

Custompack ( Customization, Custompack ): This is usually a directory that contains files the initialize, or activate, the phones FS. Without this, you will get an Error whenever you start up your phone. Every time you flash a new FS onto your phone, you must flash a Custompack. Flashing a new MAIN, however does not require you to flash a Custompack. However, flashing a MAIN and a FS at the same time will require a Custompack, because you flashed a FS.

XS++: A program that is very useful and easy to flash your phone with. I personally prefer this over SETool 2 Lite, because as many people say, SETool 2 Lite is a GUI minefield, in the sense that all the buttons are crammed together, and if you’re not careful, pressing the wrong button will kill your phone. XS++ is the prime tool for flashing and customizing your phone, because you can flash a FS, MAIN, and Custompack in oneflashing session. This guide is now using XS++2.x, with updated loaders, which now results in fast customization.

SEUS. Sony Ericsson Update Service. This free online service from SE will update your phone to the latest firmware available for your operator. Sometimes your operator may not have signed off on new firmware releases, meaning branded handsets often don't get the latest firmware when updated via SEUS.When you update your firmware using SEUS, all your settings, user files and call history are preserved. Most other methods that will be mentioned here will wipe user settings and files.

MyPhoneExplorer : Use This to backup all Contacts !

Safety Tips


Don't flash corrupt main into your phone ! XS++ flashing process may be get stuck in between !
So Use the Generic Main given here which is tested and works !!

Keep the battery at 90-100 % charge...!! This is necessary...

A Physics Lesson : As battery charge goes down the potential across the terminals falls down...!! Its Obvious from conservation of energy . Enjoy You learned something new !! Lesson ends..!

While using XS++ don't load your computers processor !!
Your Computer should not hang in between !!
And also Power should not shutdown !! ( i mean computer must not shutdown )

Plan Of Action

First backup GDFS and Then We Flash in a W580 Main !!!
Flashing the FS is very much possible but not recommended because we have tested and been successful only with w580i Main
Last time when a phone was flashed with both Main and FS .. It worked for 10 days and crashed and its EROM was damaged ( not much because woton does free repair ) but still we don't take risk

While mirko750 has flashed his s500 with a w580 Main and its working flawless to date !!

Guide Starts :

0. Install SEUS ! Reason >> It install all the required drivers for flashing !! which will be used by XS++ !!

1. Backup GDFS ! >> Thanks To Rekoil !

Backing up the GDFS isn't something which necessarily has to be done when flashing firmware, but it is a very good way to ensure you don't damage your phone beyond repair.


Step 1.
Take battery out of phone and put back in (do not turn phone on). Open XS++ and click Connect. Hold down the C button on the phones keypad and connect the USB cable.

Step 2.
Click on the GDFS tab as shown in the picture.

Step 3.
Click Backup GDFS and wait (shouldn't take more than about half a minute).



Step 4.
Done



Flashing The Main !


Now the real flashing
Turn off your phone. Start XS++ . Select USB
Remove the SIM and Memory Card . Reinsert battery.
Click on connect in XS++ and then holding C ( as in SEUS update ) connect your phone to

the USB cable ( with in 30 seconds )
it gets detected then release the C key
The left screen will display your phone details including your firmware version

EROM CID should be CID52. OTP CID should be 51. ( Your Phone Must satisfy this condition for flashing )

Click ' .…’ and select the firmware file W580_R6BC002_MAIN_GENERIC_LA_RED52.mbn
( keep other options unchecked)

hit the flash button and relax !! it will show finished after loading
when done Exit XS++ and disconnect phone........
well u can now start your phone no problems( insert sim first)

Information :

Radio won't work because the phone does not have a radio tuner.. the phone just searches for stations !
Even the shake feature won't work .. !

Rest everything should work..!

And Thanks to The Creators of XS++ with which this would have not been possible !!

or an FS for your region...
START :

0: backup all contacts !! ( find a way, there are many ways, if u dont know stop right here this tut is not for u ) yes back up everything in phone..ur ringtones etc.etc

1. First update your phone via SEUS.

this is easy just follow the on screen instructions given by SEUS program !
Reason XS++ supports CID52 flashing and SEUS will update your phone to CID52
don't worry this is absolutely safe and works great ! and this does not void warranty
If your phone is updated then SEUS will says its already updated.. this is the case with all new k550i sold in august and there after ! ppl who got phones before july will hv EROM CID 51 phone !
Installing SEUS is compulsary even if your phone is updated ! because it install drivers required for flashing which XS++ will use !
( if you get that Flash Player not installed message then check this post ! )
Backup of GDFS ! ( to be done only after updating phone )

Now u can use XS++ 2.2 to backup GDFS..

http://forums.se-nse.net/index.php?showtopic=16338

Backup GDFS only After You Have Updated your phone to CID52 ..!

best place to download XS++ is se-nse.. so do register on se-nse..
now its the flashing heaven.. u can't miss that forum !

Connect phone..
Shutdown phone .. Reinsert battery ! Remove SIM and M2..
Start XS++
Click on connect in XS++
holding C connect phone to USB cable ! don't leave C untill XS++ says ready for operation !

In configuration select GDFS..
Click Backup GDFS...!
wait for few seconds..!! you get your GDFS back up file !
Keep the GDFS safely !!!!
Backup GDFS only for the first time !!

Done !!

Flashing Main :

2. Now the real flashing
Turn off your phone. Start XS++ . Select USB
Remove the SIM and Memory Card . Reinsert battery.
Click on connect in XS++ and then holding C ( as in SEUS update ) connect your phone to the USB cable ( with in 30 seconds )
it gets detected then release the C key
The left screen will display your phone details including your firmware version

EROM CID should be CID52. OTP CID should be 51. ( Your Phone Must satisfy this condition for flashing )

now in configuration, select flash. In the new screen, check on Flash Main Firmware Click ‘…’ and select the firmware file

W610_R6BC002_MAIN_GENERIC_NA_RED52.mbn
( keep other options unchecked)

hit the flash button and relax !! it will show finished after loading
when done Exit XS++ and disconnect phone........
well u can now start your phone no problems( insert sim first)...it will start
now again plzz shut down and remove sim

Now Flashing FS:

now restart XS++...reinsert battery...remove sim
connect the phone ( usual method holding c key etc etc )

now select this FS 'W610_R6BC002_FS_CENT_EUROPE_RED52.fbn'
( unrar it first and get the .fbn file )

check flash FS option !!
keep other option unchecked and hit flash !!
after its done just restart xs++ and reinsert battery

this time u can't start u r phone u will get an error because if your flash FS then you must customize it and that's what is our next step... relax. !

Different FS have Different language files and T9 dictionary files .. and everything else is the same

You must use the FS that has your language.. English is present in all FS by default..!

Now this is a list of what FS has what language..

FS language list... !!

and Cent Europe FS has following languages.. EN CS HU PL and SK.... ( EN is eglish and so on )
if lucky u might have one here see it !! if u not getting an FS...just ask me..!
APAC FS
has got following languages. English, Indonesian-Bahasar, Malay, Philippine-Tagalog, Vietnamese, Chinese simplified
T9: English only !!

You can flash both Main and FS together in one go...!!
now finally customization

download a cust pack from hgetis collection..! if not available for your region... then ask for it..!
i shall creat one for you !!

connect phone ( usual process )
unzip the customization pack ( use the cust pack which goes with the FS of your choice or create one which is very easy )

you will find a folder named "tpa" in it

now in xs++ directory on PC, in the directory where u have xs++.exe create a new folder named "own_custpack"

copy the "tpa" folder into this "own_custpack" folder the path of custom files should be like own_custpack/tpa/preset/custom...

open xs++ and connect fone check only customize file system

now under phone model select 'Own Custpack'
under CDA and Region, select '/own_custpack'

now hit flash...
now in few seconds custom files will be added to your phone and done
Start your phone !! Wait for some time !!

INFORMATION :

You Can Flash Only Main and leave it.. and be on the k550i FS !! This Good for people who are unable to find FS for their Region and Langauge !!
Or People who don' t know how to add languages to FS ( which is tricky )

By Flashing Main You get everything .. Just that you must then separately flash skins and flash menu and nothing else...!
Because FS contains only Media Contents Acoustics Drivers etc .. Which is same for both phones .. But w610i FS has different ringtones and wallpapers..that's all and no difference.
if u flashed only main then your phone says k550i in phone status.. but u flash w610i then its always identified as w610i and also shown as w610i in many places !

But XS++ 2.2 will always identify your phone as k550i .. its because every phone has unique IMEI number ! Even SEUS will identify your phone as k550i because they know very well what IMEI number is what phone..!

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/IMEI

Its RECOMMENDED to Flash both W610i Main and W610i FS !

For more hacks and customizations keep checking out Se-Nse and this post !

IMPORTANT : don't forget to get original hpm 70 or Creative EP 630 earphones or better
(its ridiculous to expect a very big leap in music quality without good earphones)

Basic tutorial ends here !! Hacking and modding begins now but do read safety tips ! its one of last updates !!

.................................................. .................................................. .....................................

Flash Menus:
( do this later...after u done flashing main fs and custpack after u seen ur phone work nicely and after )

inside the own_custpack folder create a new folder named flash
here exactly tpa/preset/system/desktop/

so that u hv own_custpack/tpa/preset/system/desktop/flash/**** .swf files here****

inside this 'flash' folder copy the swf files only
then open XS++ and use customization
upload the same way u uploaded customization files.. ( using breakxs wayin setting as usual )

here are the flash and non flash themes ( the ones that come with w610i for more read post no 27 )
remember seperate the .swf and .thm in the rar file given below and send only the .swf files using xs++
copy the .thm files as usually u do in file transfer mode when phone is woking in normal conditions

http://rapidshare.com/files/50589922/w610.rar.html

these 3 flash menus are for ppl who flashed with k550i FS and w610i Main
if u flashed with w610i FS and w610 Main then u already have these 3 in your phone

UPDATE: Walkman 2 Skins

download here

use FSX...just put the folder TPA from the archieve to files_to_upload

don't preview the skins in files_to_upload folder
extract them to some other place and see them there...because if u check them out then windows will create thumbs.db files in each of the skins folder ! and u don't want to upload junk to your phone's FS !

Some Information : u have to place skin folders in TPA\SYSTEM\MULTIMEDIA\MP\SKIN\**skin folder here**
and each skin folder contians details of that skins... but its already done in and compressed in rar...
just unrar it and upload it..

more skins here

http://forums.se-nse.net/index.php?showtopic=14361&st=40

Guess what ?? We can also have Flash walkman Skins

This will require a bit of modding on your behalf
edit the .xml in skin folder


to


and replace playview_background.swf with ur fav .swf background..!

only problem is that the player is a little slower with swf background

Update : Lots of Flash Wallpapers !!

download flash wallpapers from here and copy them to Memory card using data cable !!
no flashing needed and then in phone set it as wallpaper as u do normally with jpg or gif

http://forums.se-nse.net/index.php?showtop...mp;#entry162706

UPDATE: only for phone with w610i Main and k550i FS

( In such a phone u won't have radio option in Half of the Flash Menus )
but u will have the radio option in Menu when using Normal Theme...

While using flash menu in (k550i FS and w610i Main phone) u wont have the radio option in the phone.... ( ignore this if you flashed completely to Walkman !)
upload this MENU.ML using own_custpack method ( with break XS settings again ) to this directory ( give also is k550i menu.ml file...if u want to revert back then rename it as menu.ml and up it in its place back )

TPA\PRESET\SYSTEM\MENU\*** menu.ml file here ***

the filehttp://rapidshare.com/files/53570341/MENU.ML.html

or esnips link
http://www.esnips.com/web/xxxagentxxxsOtherStuff/

other method is that u shld create a shortcut to ur phone's radio while using normal themes and then apply a flash theme and u can get to the radio using that shortcut keyy

UPDATE: Some Information : U can flash only the MAIN and use the phone !! there is actually no need to flash FS at all
u will have the original stock old k550i FS....
and enjoy cybershot walkman with k550i FS and latest w610i MAIN but that k550i FS is old !! coz u did not flash the latest that's all !

Update: Get Rid Of Sony Ericsson Links

while flashing customization delete all .itm files and send only those Customize.xml and preloaded_config.xml
find them in the customization pack in tpa/preset/custom/
this way u won't have Sony Ericsson links all over the phone in games apps pics themes etc !! i hope u guys get it

or otherwise there is an option in XS++ saying Don't upload SE wap links in Customize File System Option.. just check it !

UPDATE : Very Cool one !!

UPDATE : Convert Non-Flash Theme to Flash Themes

google 7zip and tugzip and download them
download instructions here 1.12 MB download

u can use winrar or tugzip to unzip it but u hv to change the extension of file frm .thm to .tar which u can't do unless u hv show extensions enabled in windows !
u can add it to tar achieve only using tugzip the ones done with 7zip don't work well !
google search and download tugzip and 7zip ...
Easier method : Use MyThemesCreator by lasyk.net to create flash menu !!

UPDATE : here is a tutorial on how to extract the contents of FS

incase u could not download main2raw and SEFStool from the links given in that tut then google search and download from alternate locations and i think they must be available on iprotebe also
if u extract the FS of w610i u can get walkman skins at this location TPA\SYSTEM\MULTIMEDIA\MP\SKIN have a look at them and see if u can create such skins !

yes u can get the drivers in the FS and have a look at them also and see if u can modify them
u can keep those drivers as backup...

UPDATE : Get Rid Of...... !

The ring tones Greeting, Brooklyn D, Awakening always enter the playlist and irritate us
just delete Awakening, Brooklyn D them from the phone !

Greeting.mp3 this can't be deleted normally !
Use FSX to delete ! just add this file to delete list !
its location is \tpa\user\music\greeting.mp3

incase u really like those ringtone and want them
download them and copy to memory card.. this time in ringtone folder not in music folder !!

UPDATE : Not Getting the FS for k550i and w610i of your choice ??

Don't worry !! the only difference in FS is language files and of course some preloaded settings of Operator WAP and MMS settings that's!!

So U need to get your language files and its t9 dictionary file and upload it to the phone FS and enable that language !
get your language files form any SE phone FS..it may be for k800 or w810i or any phone.... here is the download list of many FS files

Using this list find out in which FS u might get ur language files

Get the FS and extract its contents and get the language files and upload it your phone... i have given the link to the tut about how to extract contents from an FS file !

then upload the files using XS++ to \TPA\PRESET\SYSTEM\LANGUAGE\** here **

the files u need to upload is EN.LNG and EN.T9 for english
if ur your language code is XY then get that XY.LNG and XY.T9 file and upload it..

then edit that customize.xml in notepad to enable your language ( which is very easy once u look into it.. as its not a big file.. contains max of 20 lines )

This Method to add new language works very well !! Verifed by jommarn on this forum !
Thank to him !!!!

UPDATE : VISUALIZATIONS !

As of now we have only 3 default ! U can edit the .avx and make new ones !
u can find them in

.avx files in \TPA\PRESET\SYSTEM\multimedia\AV
starting image file in \TPA\PRESET\SYSTEM\multimedia\AV_DATA

!!! change the start image to get new ones !!
as of now its know that there are only 2 effects lines and wrapping !

if u hv k550i flashed with w610i main and k550i FS then flash them to the locations mentioned above using custpack method !

SAFETY TIPS !!

Don't flash corrupt main into your phone ! XS++ flashing process may be get stuck in between !
if XS++ gets stuck in between then your phone is dead for good !
So Use the Generic Main given here which is tested and works !!

Keep the battery at 90-100 % charge...!! This is necessary...

A Physics Lesson : As battery charge goes down the potential across the terminals falls down...!! Its Obvious from conservation of energy . Enjoy You learned something new !! Lesson ends..!

While using XS++ don't load your computers processor !!
Your Computer should not hang in between !!
And also Power should not shutdown !! ( i mean computer must not shutdown )

In case of phone's death and u have to write your own phone's GDFS !! writing some other phone's GDFS will fail !!!!

before writing GDFS always ask for expert advice...! or ur phone might die beyond repair !! its then just a brick ! only Sony Ericsson or hopefully some one else like woton and davinci ....can then help u .. and they are going to charge... only SE can create a new GDFS for u..

in case u did not backup GDFS and phone dies... goto SE service center !!

now its come to light that one of our users has damaged his GDFS !! hence.. plzz backup gdfs !
generally this does not happen
don't be scared ! instead be Careful !!

we all now have awesomely amazing phones !! don't u want one ??

You can use XS++ any number of times... ok now that does not mean you use it 100 times a day in 365 days a year on the same phone.. !

Removing the SIM Card is not at all necessary while using XS++ !!
But that u reinsert battery after every succesive flash is very important ! if your remove your sim card ensures that you have reinserted battery !!
incase u forgot to reinsert battery ! your phone won't start ! reinsert battery and start ! it should start this time !

And You can Flash Main FS and Custpack all in one Go ( direct from k550i to w610i in one go ) ! which would be better and is recommended !
but if u want to start your phone after every operation then u should not flash all three in one go..
How to Revert back to k550i !

There are 2 ways !

1) Use XS++ 2.2 and flash both k550i Main and k550i FS
2) Use SEUS to flash k550i Main and XS++ 2.2 to flash k550i FS

But i recommend u to flash back k550i Main using XS++ 2.2 becasue in case CID53 update is released for k550i then in future u can't use XS++ anymore ! becasue XS++ does not support CID53

And u will have to wait for months for XS++ to support CID 53 flashing !!

A REQUEST !!

Please Take Pictures Before Flashing and Pictures of same things After Flashing !!

And Upload for Comparison !!! Thank you !
