 this is just a lot quicker than having to restart the phone N times when doing cross CID flashing
 in case of RECOVERY, you may end up with different CID/color depending on SIGNED MODE. \\
+SeTool2 decrypts firmware during flashing, den_po has written a (unreleased) program that pretends to be a phone (virtual serial port). It simulates some old DB2012 phone, setool does not seems to care. Also requires runtime patching of setool2 (for whatever reason). \\
+As of 21/01/2026, the SETool Support server and forum are officially closed forever. Functionality is still given if you have an activated box/card. If you need files from support (e.g. firmwares for SETool) [[sony_ericsson:links#file_hoster_links|see links with archived SETool support server]]. \\
+Filetype //.arm// is for SEMCtool, //.flp// is for Cruiser. \\

+For A1 if you want full access to FS you need to enter BFS. Security for entering BFS has to be broken and flash restore firmware when done with BFS. \\
+DB2020 does not need QA patch if you swap cert to BROWN49 \\
+Sagem PNX5230 (e.g. Spiro) requires //anycid// method for patching. Anycid patches erom to disable CXC checksum check. The phone still uses RED cert but can boot patched CXC. Use jdflasher. PNX5230 uses arm946e-s core so there is no port for quickaccess and patchloader. Never use alt security bypass with PNX5230. \\
+You must flash REST first before flashing elfloader on PNX devices. If you want apply another patch, don't forget to patch Elfloader again after flashing REST. The hook for SWI function is located on the blocks that are exploited by executer. So if you flash REST file, the hook for SWI is gone, therefore reflashing the Elfloader again is needed. \\
+You do not need to upload REST manually, just create one before unlock operation by adding .mbn to fw area and click identify - voila your rest file is created. \\
-Sony Ericsson Elm (J10i2) and Hazel (J20i) are the latest A2 phones (DB3310). Saito (J117i) and Anino (J105i) are actually Symbian^3 (S60). DB3350 GreenHeart (Elm/Hazel/Cedar) .swf theme features animations for specific days, such as Earth Day (tree), Water Day (droplet falling) and Environment Day (spinning globe). \\

 - Connect with blueman (linux) to phones network connection. Speed is limited to Bluetooth 2.0 ESR (~2 Mbps), which is ok-ish for browsing with adblocker. Send SMS under linux with //gnokii// or //Gnome Phone Manager// (GUI) \\

 - There is runtime patching via jar (jjpatcher+bpatch). \\
 - 'T28' connector is so called because it was the first phone it came with. \\

 - There are fastport to 3.5mm audio jack adapter aftermarket cables \\
 - Buy a Memory Stick Micro (M2) USB cardreader (CCR-70). M2 micro is a shrunk down MemoryStick, they are electrically the same. \\
-- SE Yari was called Kita in Philippines \\
+- W980 is the only phone with FM transmitter built-in (use MMR-70 on other phones) \\
+- SE Yari was called Kita in Philippines. Yari is shipped with CID53 only (same as C901). Yari has small code, this is why it so fast. \\

+- chances are good that you have CID53 if date before 10W24 (W995) (or 10W22 for Aino, Hazel and Elm - confirmed 10W18). For Aino, aim for the IMEI, those that start with 35681503 have CID53. Aino's IMEI starting with 01229100 is most likely CID81. \\
+- some later SE models have switched IMEI numeration from 35 to 01 \\
+- DB2010 is CID49 or lower and CID50 to CID53 is called DB2012 \\
+- Firmware of Aino R1BA049 is similar to DB32XX. Aino R7AA071 fw sometimes identify as db3350 v1. Aino R7BA084 fw (similar to newer model like Hazel, Elm, Zylo, Cedar) is sometimes called DB3350 v2. The chipset is still same for all DB3350. From the code view, DB3350 has better compiler optimization. It use efficient and simpler arm assembly instructions. DB3350 is ARM926EJ-s core, for both app and acc CPU (ARMv5TE compliant). \\
+- All DB3350 need SETool, A2Uploader is not supported. DB3350 has high speed USB. \\
