Your phone is not compatible with A2 uploader, because it runs on a different platform. What do I need?
1. A2 uploader
With A2uploader you can now flash the phone with firmwares, customize your phone, de-brand your phone, add files to phone FS-FileSystem, upload flash menus and change menu icons and perform all customizations possible on the file system.

Important: Disable your Antivirus software before downloading. AV software recognises this as virus/trojan horse but this is a false alarm. This software is completely safe. bcz the_laser (cretor of a2 uploader) uses themidia encryption to prevent people stealing the sources and loaders of his A2uploader.
2. Some Menu Icons\Light effects\Camera-Display drivers, etc
You can download lots of Menu Icons and other stuff from Here (use Google Translate). To Staffs: I posted an external link. but its a russian site, to download firmware for sony ericsson handsets. i think its safe. if not then trash this thread
(Be sure to have the USB drivers installed, run ggsetup.exe that comes with the A2uploader archive (Download from Above Link))
