Trying to flash a W595 Sony Ericsson (A2) based Phone but can't get it working
I want to flash the preinstalled firmware on my Sony Ericsson Phone because it has some branding I don't want and some restrictions on apps I want to install (google maps)
I've tried various tools to try and achieve this:
Aerix
SeTool
D-Ultimate unlocker
I can connect to the device via usb, selecting mass storage mode, while holding down buttons 2 + 5
But all of them give me the same error regarding the boot method selected, I'm not sure if I need to start the phone in a different way to get the correct BOOT sector or if i need different software.

Response by poster: yeah the guys just a prick,
If i asked a question about how to change a tire on my car he'd probably write
"And how do we know your not going to run over two dozen nuns while they cross the street in your car?"
