How To: Hack the Samsung Tocco F480 to Play Java Games

This is a guide showing you how to get Java games onto your Samsung Tocco F480 phone via USB—for free!

You don't need Samsung PC Studio, but you do need a few things...

Download Required Applications and Drivers...

Download and install these applications. I have included links, but you can easily Google them for the latest releases, if you wish.

• Samsung Composite USB Driver
  This helps for TK File Editor to recognize the port that your Tocco is connected to.
• TK File Explorer
  This is used to upload your Java games to your Tocco.
• JADMaker
  This is used to make JAD files to go along with your JARs.
• A Jave game (.JAR)
  For the sake of ease, Google "4shared JAR games". The top result will lead you to a great page for finding .JAR format games. Download a JAR that you like the sound of.

Preparing the Game for Transfer...

Step 1 Create a folder

Create a new folder on your desktop. Rename it to something similar to the game's title you're using.

Step 2 Put the game into the folder

Now put your .JAR file (the game file that you choose) into the new folder made above.

Step 3 Open JADMaker

Open JADMaker, then drag and drop the .JAR file (the game) into the application.

Step 4 Make a JAD

A JAD file will appear in the same folder as your JAR file.

  Connecting to the Phone...

Now that you have all the files required to transfer to your Tocco, we can now connect to the phone using TK File Explorer.

Step 5 Connect your phone

Connect your Samsung Tocco cell phone to your computer via a USB cable.

Step 6 Open PC Studio

When connected, on your phone, select "PC Studio". Before this happens, the phone may need to install any necessary drivers.

Step 7 Open TK File Explorer

Now, open the TK File Explorer and go to the "Settings" tab. Select "COM". The "Port" should show the COM port of your connected phone...

Check that the COM port is set, then press "OK" to confirm.

Step 8 Computer/phone icon

Find the icon that shows both a computer and a phone. Press it to connect.

Transferring Files to the Phone...

Now that we are connected to the phone, we can now transfer the files using Tk File Editor.

Step 9 Find the game folder

Find the folder of the game you want to transfer and highlight it with your mouse.

Step 10 Open the Exe folder

In the Tocco's file directory (seen in the bottom Explorer window), open the "Exe" folder.

Step 11 Open the Java and Games folders

Now, open up the "Java" folder and then open the "Games" folder.

Step 12 File/phone icon

Locate the icon showing a file pointing to a phone. Press it to start the transfer.

Step 13 Disconnect

Once the files have been transferred, disconnect (unplug the phone).

Think its over? Well, unfortunately not. Now we need to update the Java database on your phone.

Updating the Tocco Java Database...

We're almost there now, just a few more steps. The phone still needs to realize that the new files are there, so we need to update the Java database.

Step 14 Dial

Dial *#6984125*# on your Tocco phone.

Step 15 Select Internals

On the following menu, select "Internals".

Step 16 Master Key

Now, type in the master key: *#9072641*#

Step 17 Storage Settings

On the following menu, select "Storage Settings".

Step 18 Update the Java DB

On the following menu, select "Update Java DB".

Step 19 You're done!

On your phone, open up your "Games" folder and have fun!
