Hi I beginner programmer for Symbian smartphones. And now i need system disc sendo X, its greate smartphone, but he don't sell in russia! :angry: Can me help find content Z disc Sendo X? Make this is too easy, copy diac on memory card and send me! User posted image - this is screen from SX1 smarthphones. If sendo have disc A: send him to me too. big Thanks to all, my e-mail [email][email protected][/email] my icq 5004020 help me PLEASE!

If you buy a Sendo X, you get it (the Z-drive is the drive in ROM where the phone's operating system and built-in apps sit).

The files there are not useful for anything a beginner programmer could do anything with (you can't run any of the files on other phones, as the executable layout is for in-place execution from ROM).

So, why do you need the Z-drive contents of the Sendo X for?

It looks like this guy wants to hack the Sendo X's firmware, but quite why he wants to do that to make a hack for the Siemens SX1 I don't know!

in future i buy Sendo X2 and make hack for him. Tooday i use Sx1 and very need content Z: Sendo X PLEASE connect with MY!

Could you at least try to explain why you

very need content Z:
?
This sounds way too strange man...
Btw,
If sendo have disc A: send him to me too.

Its too hard copy Z: and send me? 😡

Hahaha, isn't this gettin fun...Listen, I gave you a chance to explain specifically what you need the Z: drive for and you're not makin friends right now. Acting this way doesn't help you at all. So once again, what's the big plan with the Z: drive?

I have written that all contents of disk Z Sendo X are necessary to me for researches

Some people might think that knowing the ROM contents on each Series60 model might make it easier to write a successful virus.

Вот так

Cool - I haven't been insulted in Russian before.

Redston: I have nothing against the soldiers of the Red Army, and I wouldn't even consider myself bourgeois (but the bourgeois never do, do they?), but if you want somebody to violate copyright law and put themselves out on your behalf then you'll have to be a bit more open and forthcoming - you know, glasnost and all that.

Я не нарушаю никаких авторских прав! Я просто хочу проверить кое-что. Sendo X очень интересен мне как смартфон и я хочу просто сравнить несколько значений. И все :icon4:

If you tell people what these several values are that you want to compare then they might be more inclined to help you.

Answering in English would also up your chances.

I the founder of the modified firmware for Siemens SX1 here my first work http: // forum.oslik.ru/viewtopic.php? t=9484 here the second http: // forum.oslik.ru/viewtopic.php? t=12055 and me it is very interesting to check up the given responsible themes on sendo X. In the future I plan to buy Sendo X2 and to work for it!

Modifying the firmware of a phone, any phone, is illegal and therefore not allowed.

I doubt anyone on this forum wants to break the law in this way.

If the X isn't available in Russia, how are you going to buy an X2?

It is perfectly easy to buy an X on ebay!

...apart from those two words. What kind of stuff do you want to make for the X?

He was talking about themes but I don't buy that. If you want to make themes for the X you really don't need the Z drive. So Redston, enlighten us and tell honestly now what the heck you need that drive for.

I translated that Russian bit:

"I disrupt no copyrights! I simply want to verify something. Sendo X Is very interesting to me as smartfon and I want simply to compare several values. And everything"

Even so, I'm pretty sure Sendo's copyrighted its own firmware. If I had to hazard a guess, perhaps our mysterious Russian friend wants to take the Now! screen from the sendo, stick it on other Series 60 phones and market it as his own app.

If this is completely implausible, by all means tell me...

Well maybe you don't believe him guys but I DO. SX1 does not support theming. But through firmware modifications the Siemens community has done many things (and that is a fact not only for SX1 but also for many other Siemens phones). Now if we compare the Sendo X with the SX1 there are many similarities (same OS Symbian 6.1, Same Series 60 version 1.2.2 as well as same screen resolution 176x220).

Now by taking a look to varius patches for enabling themes on the SX1 you'll find out that many changes that are done to the firmware have many similarities with Sendo's theming solution.

Till now through firmware modifications the community has been able to apply to the SX1:
-Fullscreen wallpapers
-Pallete changing (including font colour changing)
-Start up animation changing
-Signal, battery, bluetooth and other icons changing
-Alarm sound changing (with no 3rd party app)
-Volume increase
(and some more that do not come to my mind)

There is a dangerous think though on some of the patches. They change the path from where the files are read and instead of the Z they are read from E (or C). So if no files are found to be read the phone won't boot up.

I'm quite sure he just wants to see the differences some specific files have between SX1 and X and so he will try to change these specific files (or only bits of them) to have the same skining support with Sendo's.

If I had an X I would help him guys. Don't be hard on him.

Ok, what's if it's true? Then the guy should buy the frikkin developerkit imo. And he also should be more forthcoming about his plans. You must agree that by reading his posts you get a little suspicious. But let's hear from him. I'm getting curious.

Unfortunately he is not paid by anyone. His job (as well as the whole job of the Z-Team) on firmware modifying is just a hobby. And we all know how expensive the developer kits are.

(It is just like telling me that the oggplay development team should buy the developer kit when they do their job just for fun - thank god they do not need it).

Anyway you are right about being suspicious.
I had been watching his work on this russian forum www.oslic.ru (and all Z-Teams projects and work) from the begining and he has contibuted alot, that is why I am not suspicious at all.

www.oslik.ru You send me content Z: or not??? Suspicious you Europeans. On you I have understood that Russia never becomes the Europe, and thank God!

Probably just that there are not that many people with a Sendo X who have the tools, skills and time to do what you want.
