How to add Ringtone to the Samsung VGA1000/SPH-A620
This document describes the process of adding ringtones to your Samsung VGA1000 / SPH-A620 phone without using the Spring Vision service. These instructions will allow you to add new ringtones, instead of having to replace ones you already have (as in the previous versions of this tutorial). And unlike the previous method, this will also show the correct song name in your phone.
Tools needed
BitPim - http://bitpim.sourceforge.net/
Bitpim is a great open-source program which allows you to transfer files between your phone and computer. It actually has a built-in ringtone transfer feature, but it (like the rest of the features) does not work on every phone. Currently it does not support the VGA1000 / SPH-A620 which is why you are reading this! Luckily, the program does allow you to view and edit the file system of this phone. You also must have the appropriate cable to communicate with your phone. For BitPim related questions, check out their web site.
phaZed抯 GCDCreator v1.1.0 - http://www.sprintusers.com/downloads/gcdcreator/
GCDCreator has a couple of useful features. First, it allows you to generate GCD files which are sort of like description files for objects on your phone. It lets the phone know what kind of file it has. The other notable feature of GCDCreator is its ability to convert a (properly formatted) WAV file into a QCP. The VGA1000 / SPH-A620 supports two types of ringtones. MIDI files (the same that your computer will play), and QCP, which is a low quality WAV. You can experiment with different songs to find ones that work well on your phone.
Hexplorer - http://artemis.wszib.edu.pl/~mdudek/
Any hex-editor will work, but I personally like this one.
Winamp and/or a sound editor
You only need these if you plan to create a ringtone from a WAV, MP3, or other audio file besides MIDI.
USB Drivers
The following file contains the drivers for the Samsung A310, A530, A600, A620, A660, and a few other models, but this tutorial only covers the A620/VGA1000. You will need this driver so Windows will recognize your phone as a USB device, although most cables come with drivers already.
