you found the cust pack (the first one) and the file system (the second one)

now you need the generic MAIN firmware (the LA stands for the name of your phone -- every SE has a name)

Whats this CID53? How can I check to see what version I have?

[MP]

look at the 3rd screen shot...

you see EROM CID:

thats what you look for. Just dont use the sony ericsson update service and you wont get CID53

read that far manager tutorial. you can erase anything you want.

I dunno is there is a way to browse the FS in XS++
Maybe RLP06 knows?

I don't know about deleting games.. but I'll put up a tutorial later on how to add flash themes and mod drivers with XS++ later on...




BTW... if you have anyone has any questions, please post in the thread instead of PMing me... I'm sure a lot of other people have the same questions as you. Thanks

What did you use to flash it? this tutorial?

Theres no way this tutorial turned it into a CID53 if it was not a CID53 before....

Some of the paid services like davinci or wotan may support CID53 now... but theres no free way to flash CID53

Farmanager with the jdflasher plugin will get you back into cid53.

EDIT

err this one might be a better bet
