took me all ****en day but i figured it out.... stupid rogers makes me do all this work.

all you do is modify the files using the DRM package and paste them into the root dir of the phone... than the phone will beep and ask you if you want to change it to your new ringtone.

If anyone needs a detail description e-mail me at [email protected]. I will help anyone who asks as i hate rogers

isnt it same like as in w800i or w810i??

probably as long as those phones use the sony ericsson file manager

I made a guide around here somewhere a while ago... Yeah I hate Rogers as well, they locked that feature to make you buy the ringtones. That's why I switched to Fido.

I tried using the SE DRM v1.35 to convert some MP3's but my Rogers K790a doesn't even recognize the files let alone let me set them as ringtones... been at this for hours.

Any help would be appreciated.

word of advice

changing firmware voids Roger's warranty

Roger's locked the use of mp3 ringers for a reason, it's to promote the sales of ringtones, themes, wallpapers, other media type files you can buy off your web browser

Figured it out... use the SE DRM packager proggy to forward-lock the MP3's and then with the phone in "phone mode" hooked up to the PC send the file over to the SE File Manager... it picks up the file and recognizes it for useage as a ringtone!

I've found the all the other media (games, themes, wallpapers) are not locked like the ringtones. F*** you Rogers, I've beaten their lame-@$$ money making scheme.

Can anyone give me a link for the SE DRM package that I need to download in order to convert my mp3s? I can't find it

Thanks.

EDIT: Nevermind. I Googled it. :\

Miscellaneous Docs and Tools

Ok, another question. After you forward lock your music files, where do you save them? I have tried saving them everywhere, but no matter where I do, they still won't show up as rigntones...

EDIT: Nevermind, I figured it out again. Just paste it in with the "Phone Memory folder". NOT INSIDE the folder.

aww never mind that wasn't the one. there was another which you had to
change the configuration settings and stuff. like you had to change it to combined delivery or delivery lock or something? and then change the rights as well
