Flashing a P1i

I happen to buy a phone, a cute P1i. I was so happy with the phone util I started installing UIQ3 application like fring. Fring in my P1i was good enough for chatting with google and skype contacts, but not allowed me to do a voice chat. And this forced me to flash the phone to update the firmwire. After googling a lot, I made an attempt of flashing and it was a sucess.

Here are the steps I followed,

1. Download XS++ V2.0 [download]
2. Install and run XS++ v2.0.
3. Tick "Smartphone connect" checkbox.
4. Follow XS++ v2.0 instructions.
5. Select GDFS option from the configuration section.
6. Select the required script from the options 'GDFS Script'
8. And Run the script.
9. It will take a couple of minutes to update the changes request. The left window of XS++ will give a clear description whats happening.
10. Once the sucessful message is appeared on screen, go ahead with SEUS to get the latest software on phone.
11. U did it, enjoy.

Note: It's individuals risk to play around with phone's firware.
