Album Art Tutorial for Walkman 2.0 Supported Phones
31 05 2008Here is my tutorial for the easiest method to get album art on your W850i/W880i (or any other walkman phone that supports at least Walkman 2.0) using windows XP and Media player 11.
First thing is you need Media Player 11.
When you open media player and go to the library tab, you will see a album selection on the left side like this….
Click that so it’s highlighted like in the picture.
Then after that you can drag your CD folder of all the songs in the CD into that box to the right of it. Not the small box all the way to the right, but just next to the album selection tab.
After your folder of the CD is in that box it will look like this.
It’s the one without a picture on it.
You need to get a picture of the album cover. I use the Amazon Album Cover finder.
Download Trial Here 
It will sometimes give you a few options to choose from. After it’s done querying go to the results tab and find the cover you want.
After you selected the cover you can save it to JPGformat. Then after you have saved it in JPG format you can use it for the CD in media player 11.
All you do to use it is find where you saved it. I saved it in the actual folder of the CD.
Then just drag it over the CD in media player that needs the cover. It will update the tags on the mp3’s and now the songs will have album art. Like this.
You can use media player 11 to sync with your memory stick or just drag the CD folder onto your stick. It doesn’t matter now how you transfer it because media player wrote the album art info into the mp3’s permanently.
If you like the tutorial please leave a thank you or a reply so I know you found it handy. If you find a flaw or anything in the tutorial just ask me and I will answer it a.s.a.p.
Hope This Helps….
P.S: You can use google instead of the Amazon Album Cover finder

31 05 2008How to apply patches to DB2020 SE phones
You’ll need: SeToollite V.11
(Download from my box.net Sharing folder)
This is a tutorial on How to apply patches to your DB2020 SE Phone
We will apply quick access patch to your phone so that when you want to patch the phone later on,you can do it quickly
1.) First Download SETool
2.) Drag the MAIN file (.mbn) that you have in your phone on to qamaker.exe From the qamaker folder that comes with SETool2 Lite 1.11; this will create a vkp file.
This vkp patch allows you to break into your phone easily…..
So without quick access it will take about 10 minutes to apply a patch…..
With quick access applied it will take about 40 seconds….
This will make life easier for the frequent patchers….
3.) Open SETool
4.) Select your phone from the drop down menu above
5.) Click Bypass DB2020
6.) Add the MAIN file (.mbn) in the “Files” Directory in SETool
7.) The vkp file created in Step 2 needs to be put in to MISC FILES
8.) Press FLASH button
TURN OFF PHONE, HOLD “C” INSERT USB CABLE
Heres a screen shot of what you have to do…

You have to be alert and have to be watching this process ALL THE TIME because in the middle of the flashing SeTool will ask you to remove the cable, re-insert battery and then press then Ready, Be alert.Be carefull! At one moment you will believe that nothing happens and the status windows is not changing! Do not remove the CABLE! Wait until “ELAPSED x SECONDS” appears in status window.
This process will take some time, about 10-15 minutes or more
Once this process is done, you have now applied quick access patch to your phone.
Now we need to apply the ACTUAL patches which would enhance your phone.

2.) Select the patch file (.vkp extension) and put into MISC files; i will post some patches that you might like
3.)Select your phone type
4.) Click Use quick access patch
5.) Press “Write Script”
This process will apply the patches to your phone
Note: SETool will ask “Click Yes to remove patch, Click NO to apply patch NO to apply the patch but if you dont like it, do this process again and click YES
IF ANYONE WANTS ANY PATCHES FOR THEIR PHONE JUST ASK AND I WILL POST SOME PATCHES FOR YOU TO ENJOY
HOWEVER I JUST NEED TO KNOW YOUR FIRMWARE VERSION AND CID

How to debrand a w580i
31 05 2008HOW TO DEBRAND A W580I
- Precautionary measures
Before doing anything please make sure you do the following:
* Charge your phone to 90-100%
* Back-up all your contacts to your SIM and Memory Stick
* Remove your SIM Card and Memory Stick
- Files
Included in this guide are the following files:
* SETool 2 Lite v.1.08
* Sony Ericsson W580i FS
* Sony Ericsson W580i MAIN
* Sony Ericsson CID52 Customisation
- Instructions
1. Extract the RAR file you have just downloaded, inside you will find the following files:
+ setool2lite.rar
+ W580_CDA102568_2_R8A_GENERIC_CENT_EUROPE.rar
+ W580_R6BC002_FS_CENT_EUROPE_RED52.fbn
+ W580_R6BC002_MAIN_GENERIC_LA_RED52.mbn
Extract “setool2lite.rar” and leave the rest as is.
2. Go into the directory in which you extract the file “setool2lite”, and go into the “drivers” folder, there you will find another folder called “usb_flash_driver”. Go into that and launch the installer that is contained in it, proceed as you read, nothing major will happen this is just a SE USB Flash driver for your phone.
Once the installation is done proceed to the next step
3. Go back to the directory in which you extracted “setool2lite” and launch the application “setool2lt.exe”
4. In the application, you will need to select your phone model at the top, in this case it would be the SE W580i.
5. Now in the box where it says “Files:” under the phone model you will need to add the following files:
+ W580_R6BC002_MAIN_GENERIC_LA_RED52.mbn
+ W580_R6BC002_FS_CENT_EUROPE_RED52.fbn
REMEMBER ADD THE MAIN FIRST
6. In the box where it says “Misc files:” you will need to add the following file:
+ W580_CDA102568_2_R8A_GENERIC_CENT_EUROPE.rar
Now your screen should look like this:
7. Once you have added the files into their appropriate positions you will need to attach your phone to your computer, by switching of the phone and holding onto the “C” button and then plugging in the USB cable.
8. As a precautionary measure, make sure all the files are in their right placements and that your phone is detected as a “SEMC Flash Device” or something along those lines.
9. Now you are ready to click “FLASH”, DO NOT CLICK ANY OTHER BUTTONS BEFORE OR AFTER THIS PROCESS!
This process should take about 5 minutes and you will be readily happy with this de-branded version of your phone!
