Changing menu icons with XS++ (K800/790)

[Stonario]

Changing your icons with XS++ is actually very easy, it only takes time to break through the CID49 security.
What you need is the latest version of XS++

You extract it somewhere, preferrably somewhere where you'll find it
Then we need an icon pack to upload to the phone, there aren't much of them at the moment, but there will be more.

I've added some of them as attachements.

you copy the (unzipped) icon folder, should be all as in the structure inside the phone, beginning with the map tpa.
Inside the folder where you unzipped XS++ there should be a folder called files_to_upload.

Just copy the tpa folder with the icons it it to files_to_upload.


Now that the icons are in the right place we can open XS++

When XS++ is started you can connect your phone like you connect it for an update with SEUS. So you shut down your phone,
take out the battery, press the 'c-button', reinsert the battery and still holding c, connect the usb cable.

When it's the first time you connect it like that your pc will show a message 'new hardware found, insert media etc...'
just click on install software automatically, it should find something.


When you install it it'll give you a warning that the software isn't conform to
the windows XP logo test.. just ignore it and continue anyway :cool:

Ok now you click in your XS++ window on start and connect it again the same way.
It should look like this:


Then click on FSX and then on Start FSX


Ok that's all! the rest is just waiting for the program to finish
Don't worry if it takes some time, there are people who have said it took them 5 hours or more..

i tried to find the CID version nr of my new software but I didn't find it.in the >*<<*<* it didn't show it.i have the latest available R1JG002 from SE.and don't know what cid it has?can i flash it?

[glorfingal]

you can't brute force it .... i think R1JC002 is CID51 and R1JG001 is CID52

[Trevsweb]

does CID52 mean i cant do this anymore?

[Stonario]

The easiest way to check your CID is to connect it and look at what the program says.
The sad thing is that CID 51 and 52 are indeed not bruteforceable
They break the connection after every try, so that means that you can't try every authorization for the given code from the connection.
So it means that it is either impossible or you have to be incredibly lucky or you have to break the keygen/decoder, what hasn't happend yet.

@Trevsweb
If you can get that iphone icon pack ready i'd be happy if you share it
I'll add it to the first post if that's ok with you.

[zagonielod]

what kind of program are you talking about?my phone explorer didn't show anything...

[Stonario]

XS++ I guess..
Did i talk about My Phone Explorer??

[zagonielod]

no.sorry.i didn't even tried xs++ cas i knew that i don't really have the chance to flash R1JG001.

[Trevsweb]

cool ok i'll get it done even though i cant use it...
going to make the icons myself so hopefully no ipod suing lol

[Alfaro]

Where i can find some nice icons for K790???

[GeneAlex]

Sorry, is this possible for w850 too?
Also my software is R1ED001, does anyone remember what cid has?

-Thanks in advance..!

[glorfingal]

I believe that the W850 DOES have flash lite support - so you're one of the
lucky ones !!!!

[zagonielod]

if i remember well,R1ED001(is a very good and stabel version) and has both,CID 49 and 51

[Stonario]

there's a whole thread for w850 with flash menu's, the only thing you need is to get it to the 'special' flash map with XS++ and make a theme that links to it just search on the forum for 'w850 flash menu'

you can always test your cid with XS++ if you're not sure

03/20/07 > left the phoneXS trying to change the menu icons for 9 hours... and nothing
03/21/07 > againd for 9 hours and nothing
03/22/07 > tried for 3 hours and nothing... now i'm will sleep and leave the cell again in PhoneXS it's allready in 1 hour triyng to change and nothing...


this is normal?? i now this may take some hours... but that much!?!?!?

[Stonario]

That's indeed very much
I don't know how much time it was for my two changes, cuz i let it do overnight and both times when i woke up it was done..
It tells nothing out of the ordinary?
Perhaps if you paste the logfile i can see if there is something.
The logfile is the textfile in your XS++ map called XS++, so if you can attach it to a post here

[Trevsweb]

when it brute forces the phone does it remember the settings? so it can gain access quicker the next time

heres a preview of my buttons/menu not anywhere complete yet just need to finish the last 3 or so icons

[lithium3r]

No it doesn't remember any settings and it won't do that brute forcing quicker in next time, it all depends on pure luck

[Alfaro]

I've tried in the first time and i did it in less than half hour.... i've compared the log with this one and there's nothing different... mine just goes with those numbers and don't stop....

I was triyng with XS++... the first time i've used PhoneXS... so today i've tryed with PhoneXS and i did it!!!! i don't now wy but it seems like the XS++ doesn't like me

@ Trevsweb > This icons gonna be on my K790 for sure!! Great work!! Don't forget to make a K790 version with a radio... :P

sorry 4 my english :P
