Could someone show an example line from the default_upgrade.xml?
Also, can you do this selectively, or does it have to be done for all files (also those you don't need)?

Thanks!

Because of the missing backslashes, this method will not work as it is displayed by the forum, and I'm having problems getting the bbcode to display backslashes properly!!

So to use the batch file method use the download below. I stuffed around for ages last night and it worked flawlessly once I got all the backslashes right. Then I found versipo's method posted at se-nse (where he also attached the batch file with the correct code in it). D'oh!

So here it is for esatonians, via rapidshare, all credit should go to versipo for the method and batch file.

@kosmosavia, yes it can be done selectively. before you run the batch file, delete any of the generated 0 byte files you don't want. Then the batch file will create a defaul_upgrade with only those file you want copied.

Sorry about the backslashes, i didn't see the forum doesn't accept those, i don't really know why

It seems that when i edit the post the "Edit post" window shows the HTML code but doesn't convert the slash/backslash that's why it looses the slash/backslash.

Anyways, on SE-NSe somebody told me that in order to copy the IFS (and probably the QUEUE) folder you have to write the path in uppercase, haven't tested yet, but seems quite logical

BTW, since the BAT file's code that i post seems to get screwed up i think it's best to download the archive posted by max_wedge (he included the BAT file, the CECHO program and some instructions too).

Thanx Max_Edge, first of all for the info about default_upgrade.xml and second for creating the archive and posting it, i didn't think i could use Rapidshare, silly me

no worries, this is a great method, and it's great you were willing to share your ideas and batch code. I'm happy to do my bit spreading it around.

When you say backup the files, could you be more specific on how it is done? i MEAN do i just copy the fs and flash folders to the "new folder". Then after that what? Do i open the executable file then it would generate a default_upgrade.xml? Then I edit the file generated? Please correct me if i'm wrong...
Thanks!

yes, except you go into FS (double click it) THEN copy all the folders you see. Don't try flash, it will cause error.

@maxwedge

thanks chief! I was able to copy the folders. Thing is I'm a bit confused when it states in the post to replace "c:\\k800-backup" with "" (blank string). Does this mean that it's just a white space?

Also when the upgrade.xml file was correctly edited and copied to tpa/preset/default and the fone is started, what would I see? Is it a please wait message?

Thanks!

by empty string it means just that, empty. A space is actually a character as far as the computer is conerned, so if there is a space it's not an empty string

so empty means "nothing", not a space, not a dot, just nothing at all

it basically means it will delete the character that is being replaced with "nothing"
