@mystar9898 WELCOME TO ESATO

you must place the fonts in the correct location

place a folder on your MEMORY CARD called "resource" then within that one a folder called "fonts" the fonts must be placed within that folder and MUST be called...
Sans-Serif_Latin-Regular.ttf
Sans-Serif_Latin-Bold.ttf
Sans-Serif_Latin-italic.ttf
Sans-Serif_Latin-Bolditalic.ttf

... then reboot

"I've tried updating to the latest firmware using the Update Service software but for some reason I keep getting the same HK firmware."

If you have the latest firmware, then will keep getting 'the same HK firmware' until it's updated

@grizlore
Thank you so much for your quick reply!

Still doesn't work, unfortunately. I followed the correct instructions the first time.

I googled this and found out from here: http://www.p1iblog.com/2007/10/funky-fonts-on-p1i.html

that the trick doesn't work on the HK firmware... so I suppose there's really no way for me to use the trick unless I have the firmware flashed to a global support version? I wonder if the SE store would flash it for me for a price. Won't hurt to call I suppose. That'd be my last resort though.

Thanks again for your help!

@grizlore

Thanks for the advice - found a couple of threads on flashing with XS++ - you're the best! I'm going to make this my little project over the weekend.

Any watch outs, especially since my phone is using the HK firmware?

If I back up my phone using the SE PC Suite, will I be able to restore all my settings and software with a single click after I change the firmware? Any other helpful advice and extra steps you took before unbranding to make sure you've got all bases covered?

Sorry for the questions, just wanna make sure I don't destroy the phone since I'm no technician and this is my first!

I also asked similar questions on the thread I found thank you!
