Hello folks,

I speak little Russian, this is in English. I apologise.

I am a beginner in this area (have never "patched" before) and would like to apply the flex memory increase patch to an S55 mobile phone with firmware 91 and language pack 3 (lg3). I downloaded VKlay (latest version), the patch and the instructions. There are quite a things that I don't understand in the instructions; below are my questions. I have pasted the instructions at the end of this letter for quick reference.

1. General question - Overview of the procedure

My initial "belief" was that the patching would go roughly along the following lines:

a. I download the complete memory content of the phone ("fubu")
b. I edit this memory content with a suitable editor ("patching")
c. I then write back this edited content to the memory of the phone.

BUT
If I understand the instructions correctly, this NOT so. Rather, there are several occasions when I am supposed to "Write Memory" to the phone. So:

a. I download the complete memory content of the phone ("fubu")
b. I edit this content (and the language part, separately) "one by one" in certain ways (section 3, 4, 5 in the instructions)
c. After each edit, I write the edited content onto the phone, separately.
d. Finally, after the "culmination" of several writes, the phone is "patched".

Is this correct? So the phone has to be connected to the computer throughout the procedure and finally, after several writes, the patch is applied?


The questions below are about some details not clear to me.

2. About language packs - Section 4 in the instructions

Section 4 in the Instructions is about "Cutting and Transfering" the language pack
The phone I have has language pack 3 on it (lg3). This has 6 languages in it. I would like to keep 2 of these languages (English, Hungarian). Now:

- how to I get the "language pack" I am supposed to "cut"? Somehow from the phone? from the fubu? or from some external source?
- suppose I got the language pack. How do I "cut" it?
- will the phone have T9 on these two languages after the patch? (it has T9 for both languages now)

3. Section 6 in the instructions: "Apply patch below"

How do I actually do that?
(remember, I'm completely new to this patching business)


Thank you for all you help
