I have a SPH-a740 but this should work with many other samsung phones like the a640 and a620.

Add GAMES to you Samsung phone.

1. Start phone but don’t do anything just plug in the cable
2. Start BitPim
3. Select SPH-a620 (or a740 in my case)
4. Select file system and click +sign on dir. tree, this should retrieve your file structure for you — right mouse click and do a backup entire tree
5. Then go into the ams folder and delete the AmsRegistry file
6. Go into your games folder and right mouse click to make sub-directories, sequentially name them cnts1 cnts2 cnts3 etc.
7. Rename the 2 files to _jar and _jad (your jad file should have been edited before hand) and place them in one of the cnts# directories (right mouse click a cnts dir. and select new file and then browse to the 2 files to upload them to your phone
8. Close BitPim
9. Unplug your phone and don’t do anything with it until you reboot it.
10. Upon reboot you should see the new game(s) ready for your enjoyment

The trick to this is in the editing of the jad file. Here is an example of one I used succesfully with my phone. You may have to experiment to get this working with your phone.

This page is really helpful, and would like to donate, but this page is obsolete…

I have a Sanyo PM-8200 and am attempting to transfer ringtone via BitPim. Will see how that works.

I’ve tried to put java games on my SPH a740 and they load onto the phone but I can never get them to go past the loading screen where it says Java Powered.

@Mark – I would unistall the drivers, reboot the machine and try again with drivers off this site, along with the latest version of bitpim. Good Luck.

Hey Guys, hoping that some one can help me. I have a Samsung SPH a740. I just got a cable and program from Ebay. Problem is, I can’t get the phone to work with the PC. When I connect it to the usb, Windows XP Home, finds the hardware, but as it starts to load, my PC Freezes right at the transfer sscdcmnt.sys file to the c:\\windows\system32\drivers. This happens over and over again. Both my son and I have the same phone and would love to get this to work. Please Help!!!.

George: Not sure. I do not even use this phone anymore actually – I recently replaced it. I will probably put a new article up for transferring ringtones to the Samsung Blade though

How to you transfer Java games onto a Samsung A620? I can transfer pictures and ringtones fine with the latest Bitpim software but can’t figure out games.

My job recently upgraded my business phone to a Treo. I really like a couple of the stock ring tones that come with the Samsung A620. Does anyone know where I can get a hold of midi, or any other sound type, files of the stock Samsung ring tones? I am only looking for the single tone ring tones.

I forgot to describe symptom. Basically, I see no new ringer at all even though the file was renamed to cnt22.gcd & cnt22 by following the steps above RAZOR-SHARPLY. I even backed up all ringers and deleted all of them through my phone and added new ring but it will never show up after a full powercycle of the SPH A740 phone. It’s Bell mobility btw. Thanks.

Tried it and did not work, I have a SPH-A740 and as suggested previously I did not used hex editor, simply made the gcd file & removed the .mid extension completely but no go.

What’s wrong???

I have purchased many non-OEM cables:
for LG VX6000 and 8100 + bitpim= PERFECTION!!!
Cables for Nextels I730 and I8-something(not 4 my cell)+ MYJAL= PERFECTION!!!
Cables for Samsung vga1000(a620) and LG 5200 + BITPIM= PERFECTION!!!

ECITYWIRELESS IS THE WAY TO GO!!!

Only the cable for my E815 from Moto is a OEM but that is because I need a copy of MPT and it came with the cable!!!

I got my cable off ebay it was cheap, they are a lot more expensive in the stores.

@keenan – Look under downloads -> ringers, you should find it there and remember to reboot the phone. If it’s not there than something went wrong.
