I understand your frustration, but it's not totalgsm's responsibility to give you something for free that they had to pay to develop. What you also don't understand is that totalgsm don't have a piece of software that they can give out that allows you to flash your phone on you own. You can only flash your phone by connecting to their servers to be authenticated - they have to pay SE for this authentication process. That authentication costs thousands of dollars so they can only afford to flash your phone for you if you (and hundreds of others) pay them for it.

If you want to flash your phone for free you can 1. wait for a group of open source developers to crack the encryption and offer free software with the crack built in (aka XS++ for DB2020), or 2. crack the encryption yourself and write your own software.

One is a waiting game, the other is extremely difficult and not likely to be achieved by one person on their own.

Pay only the firmware don´t pay to apply drivers
Don´t pay to apply drivers, it is useless to apply pay drivers because the drivers are developed by developers SE or freelance developers.
They hope to launch a program free opensource to apply for drivers because the price you pay with this maintenance in a cell where you can buy another phone again.
It isn´t worth paying to implement drivers.
Pay to the developers

you can use davinci to copy files to your internal FS. (ie: mod menus etc)

btw, totalgsm don't have software per se, what they have is a client that connects to their server. You can tell that client to ask the totalgsm server to crack open you phones file system using the encryption key that they get from SE. But you can't run this client stnad alone - you need to be connected to totalgsm. The software client is free, you pay totalgsm for access to the encryption key that allows your phone's internal FS to be opened.

You can also use setool to open up the FS of a DB3150 phone... But that is more expensive way as setool box costs... Anyway totalgsm should be ready soon...

If only I know how to do it, then I wouldn't have been part of all this talks, and I wouldn't be receiving comments just like what max wedge has written.

So please don't tell people to make their own software.

All this talks , all this fuss - but still totalgsm doesn't have it yet.
Better force SE to make modding possible, and make it sound like a good marketing strategy to them...

Well if you ask me, I want free modding too (who doesn't) but in a time when modding is not free we all want to know the cheapest service and the best way to pay (to suit our needs). So we don't have much choice to wait for a free solution or use totalgsm for e.g. if we desperately need some DB3150 operation.

You can use davinci right now, no waiting. 10 euro's to upload multiple files (in any one flash operstion) to your phones FS.

Includes DB3150 support.

Has anybody done an experiment with the themes before,
I mean for example,
inserting an xml file inside a thm file so that the phone would read a flash menu that is saved inside the phones memory?

I have tried but no success... I guess there is some other code located in the MAIN firmware which tells the phone to read flash files from a location within it's filesystem...
