What are "patches", and what they are for?
Patches are small parts of the firmware of phone. With their help is possible to change Firmware code, and modify some functions of phone. Example of patches "Don't show startup assistant"

What i will need for patching?
You will need cable DCA-110 or DCA-110. This cable is also necessary to enter Bootkey into phone.

What this Bootkey and what it can be used for?
Bootkey is a kind of password, which is necessary to access to flash memory of phone. After entering bootkey, it will be possible to patch phone, and do any operations with memory of phone.

Where i can take from bootkey for e71?
For now there are 2 ways to take a bootkey. It's possible to make an Testpoint, or to purchase bootkey from m@rtin. The first method requires dissasembling of phone and closing circuits. You can easily spoil the phone. But in case of e71 Testpoint is easier to do, than in other phones. The easier method is to buy bootkey. You can find some informations about this on website and forum.

Where i can take from bootkey for el71?
If the phone has a factory firmware version 41 or higher, look at the point about bootkey for e71. If the firmware was less than 41, it is possible to calculate and enter the bootkey using Papua-Utils.
Why the internet settings dissappear after reloading?
You need to remove patch Turning off assistant with the start of phone, and no longer use it.
But if you haven't appliec this patch, and the settings are erased, you have probably pressed

Reload in menu of red button. Probably you have applied bad version of patch "Reload instead of

Keylock in red button menu". You should uncomment the line
; 066B30E: 1FD1 0028; forced “Of assistant” at of startup of that of were of not of erased of

tuning of the of internet (just remove the semicolon). You can just copy this line into V-Klay

and then press "Apply Patch"
Another version: You can also use a patch "Always do Startup Assistant”.

How to make, that an application won't ask every time for Internet/filesystem access?
If you have got bootkey, you can sign midlet, after creating certificate. You can create it

with help of program Smelter, which you will find in our catalog of files.
Here is the instruction:

Part I. Creation of certificate and import of it, to phone.
You need Windows 2000, or above.
Set on the computer and telephone real date and time.
Copy from phone file config/policy/manufacturer.spb.
Then use Tools -> Midlet Signer to create the certificate.
Enter the name of the created certificate
Open in phone explorer file config/policy/manufacturer.spb
Copy the file .der (search for it in the subdirectory of Midletsigner in Smelter folder)
Copy the actualised file manufacturer.sbp into the telephone into the folder Of config/policy
Now the phone will use our certificate like normal certificate

Part II. Signing of midlets
You can set all permissiond for midlet, by turning on and off options in menu "Tools -> Midlet

Signer) (FILE_READ, FILE_WRITE, INTERNET, SMS)
Tools - [Podpisyvatel] of [midletov] - to sign midlet
Select your midlet
Select the previously created certificate (two catalogs higher than the certificatemust be its

.key file)
Copy them midlet into the telephone.

Signed midlets NEED file JAD! If you haven't jad file, search for JadGen or Jad Maker. Also the

elf MidletSigner can do the job!

It's possible to install new theme, just copy it into memory, and run from card-explorer.
If you want to replace file icons, battery icons, you need to have cable, bootkey. After entering bootkey, you should install patch Elfpack in version 2 or higher. We have then to create on MMCard folder Zbin, and inside it folder IMG, and we place there files, that will replace original graphics. If you will made the graphics by yourself, remember that they must be numbered like in the FW. You can check the numbers using program Smelter.
To instal patches you need cable DCA100 or DCA110!!

How to start Java- programs from microSD using hotkey?
We copy java into any folder on Microsd. We have to remember the catalog structure. We go using SieFM to disk 0:/data/system/java/MMCard, then we create the folders as in the microSD. We leave SieFM, we set up and hotkey. That's it!PS. With the help of catalog 0:\System\Java we can tune a little bit png icons of application, without editing game, remove some settings, or to reset java application.
Also there is an old program, JavaLauncher. With help of it, we can run any java from microSD. It's good when we haven't possiblity to do patching.

I copied the music through CardReader. After this, the telephone began to be turned off with the work with the MicroSD. I removed microSD - all works normally. What's going on?

In the name of files it is not possible to use some symbols. For example, comma. It will be
impossible to copy such files by cable with the aid of SiMoCo, but if they nevertheless fall
into the telephone, then with the attempt to visit into the folder with them and (that more
frequent and more important) with the renovation of the base of data Of MediaPlayer telephone
simply will be turned off with the error.

I want to put into my phone large volume of files - tens, and hundreds of Megabytes of the information. How to make this process faster, and more convenient? There are three different methods to do that.

1. Using the cable (it is necessary to install driver, for cable dca-100 the driver isn't needed). You can copy file using Mobile Phone Manager, Simoco, or VSFE.

Cable dca-140 - speed 128kb/s - 100mb will copy in 15 minutes
Cable dca-100/110 - speed 8kb/s - 100 mb will copy for 3 and half hours.

2. Through the BT-adapter for computer. You need to install driver for bluetooth. You can use program BlueSoleil, it someimes is on cd's included to the adapter.

Speed: 40-60 kb/s. 100mb will copy around 30-40 minutes.

3. with the help of card-reader for the MicroSD cards - this is the most convenient method of copying the large volumes of the data: the speed - 4-10 Mbyte(s)/s. 100 mb. of data will copy in 30 seconds. Inconvenience: it is necessary to turn off telephone and to take out the battery, under which is arranged the slot for MicroSD.

I often change sim card, but therefore the cover of telephone rapidly has stirred and it moves from the side to the side. How to fix it?
This is traditional for the last siemens (for example, for [S]75): The solution is to place under the cover paper/the second sim card or to stick it with tape (optimal version).

How to replace icons od "My Files" and Menu, and what i will need to do this?
Replacement of icons of the main menu:
1. Unpack off archive.
2. Go to config:/japp/flexmenu/ on phone (Bootkey must be entered). Copy the contents of

archive into this folder. It's good to have backup of the contents that are before replacing!
3. Reload the phone, and look at your new menu icons!

Replacement of “my files” icons:
1) Download the archive of icons.
2) Copy the contents of archive into Config/default/mystuff. If the directory is absent, you

can create it. Also it is good to have copy of it's contents. Of course, bootkey must be

internet.
3) Reload the phone and use your new menu “my files”.
*- sometimes in Mystuff.xml there is set only russian language. You will have to edit the
mystuff.xml for your own language, because the icons can don't show after restart. Just change
language "ru", to "en", "de", "fr", etc, and then translate folder names - Huteusz.
