Guide to Install Flash Themes on Sony Ericsson Mobiles

This guide is a creation of "Smyle" and I'm just sharing it.
(It's the way He and I'm installing on my phone, I or He can't be held responsible for your phone after using this guide and "kill" your phone if u didn't follow the steps accordingly)

First of all u need XS++ from the attachments, a DCU-60 Cable (that came with your phone) for transfer.
Flash menus consist of a .swf (the menu) and a theme (.thm), in order to use flash themes u need both files.

Method I:
The following steps has to be made to install the .swf files into your phone to use flash themes:

1.First of all remove your MS(Memory Stick Pro Duo) and SIM card from phone before to begin.
2. Make a directory with this structure inside the folder of XS++ "own_custpack/tpa/preset/system/desktop/flash"(without "")
3.Copy your swf files into the flash directory
4.Open Xs++ and press Start/Connect
5.Hold down the "C" button on your phone , and then plug your phone into the DCU-60 cable
6.XS++ will now connect to your phone , and then give you information about it , including its Retail Color , Firmware Version etc.
7.You should be in a tab labeled "Flash". If not , click that tab. Now check Customize File System and int the "model" drop-down menu, select Own Custpack, instead of the phone name. Now u use the file structure created at point 2.
8.Now , take a deep breath , and prepare to be excited , because when you turn on your phone after the following step you'll have flash themes on your phone
9.Click the Flash Button (in the tab labeled "Flash"), and then XS++ will start uploading the files to your phone.When XS++ has finished it will tell to remove your phone , you must quit XS++ , (if applicable click the green eject icon in the system tray of Windows), remove the cable , remove the battery for twenty (20) seconds , insert the SIM card and MS(Memory Stick Pro Duo) , re-insert the battery and turn the phone on.
10.Now connect your phone to PC after u turn on and copy the themes (.thm files) to your phone(MS or Phone Memory is your choice) in order to use the .swf files uploaded early

Method II:
1.First of all remove your MS(Memory Stick Pro Duo) and SIM card from phone before to begin.
2.Press Start/Connect
3.Hold down the C button on your phone and then plug your phone into the DCU-60 Cable.
4.XS++ will now connect to your phone, and then give you info about it.
5.Click "Start FSX"(on the bottom),and the directories of your phone willl be generated in the box.
6.Go to "tpa/preset/system/desktop/flash" and drag the .swf files from your PC into the white box to the far right.Now u have uploaded your files(this can take a while if u have lots of .swf files)
7.After uploading the files , click "Shutdown FSX"(right corner down),and then unplug your phone when it tells you to in the status box (far left)
8.Now connect your phone to PC after u turn on and copy the themes (.thm files) to your phone(MS or Phone Memory is your choice) in order to use the .swf files uploaded early

Now you have some Flash menus on your phone. I recommend that you get a Flash menu pack(contains the .thm and .swf files),so that all the file paths are correct within the .thm file.

Hope u'll find this guide usefull.

Brother... step by step procedure is already written is post # 1, what error u r getting??

[DX-Suck it]

Im getting like I need some kind of software like A2 uploader to flash then i can put these flash files in this ! I cant understand wat the A2 uploader is ? Can u explain me ? And also give step by step instructions to make my menus Flashy !

[ώĨ©кĘđ §ůŇñ¥]

@ DX-Suck it: OK bro, the info I got is that XS++ doesn't support all SE phones. So u can add Flash Themes to ur C510 using A2uploader, find it in attachment. I was not able to find a step by step method of using A2uploader, but can only find a video tutorial. give it a try...
