Buying a phone abroad has been especially popular lately due to the obvious cost savings. The newest models of phones that have not yet entered the Russian market of cellular devices can be easily purchased for a price that is much lower than what is requested for them in stores. True, this raises an obvious issue with Russification, but it can be easily solved using either special programs or the services of a service center.
Instructions
Step 1
When Russifying a Sony Ericsson phone, it is worth considering the choice of firmware with particular care. It is recommended to download the Russian-language firmware from the official website in order to avoid any overlaps with the installation. And in order to reflash the phone, you must initially synchronize it with your computer.
Step 2
For this we need a data cable and a driver for a computer. If they are not included in the phone's package, you can download the drivers from the official website, and order the date cable or buy it at any store of cellular equipment, which are enough in every city. Install the driver and sync your phone with your computer.
Step 3
Using special software, synchronize your phone with your computer. Make sure that the software "sees" the phone, then run the program to flash the phone. In case you use this method, be sure to keep the original firmware version. This will save you from damaging your phone if the new firmware does not function.
Step 4
After flashing your phone, you need to Russify the keyboard. You can do this both by ordering it on the Internet, or by purchasing it at any service center. Also, in these service centers you can order a full Russification in case you feel that you will not succeed or that you do not have the knowledge sufficient to perform this operation.
