I guess (haven't tried, so can't say) your method would be a lot easier (and safer for your phone!) Just sharing how I got my ringtones on. Thanks for the addition, Bruce!

While Bitpim does not officially support the SCH-u410, the SCH-u470 is supported and is very similar. Manually tell Bitpim that you have the u470 and it can import and export your phonebook, pictures, sound, ringtones, call history, etc. The juke box features of the u470 are not present on the u410 so they won’t work. Windows XP directions: 1. Find, download and install Samsung drivers before connecting the phone (I used those installed by Samsung PC Studio 3, updating not necessary). (For Vista no drivers are needed, it automatically installs them when you connect the phone.) 2. Use a compatible straight USB cable, available on EBay for $3.33 + $4.95 shipping. 3. Install BitPim version: 1.0.6-official, manually select SCH-u470 as your phone (it's a lie, but it works). 4. Most all the BitPim tabs (phonebook, images, sounds, ringers, etc) seem to work fine. You don't need to monkey with the file system or edit MrInfo.db, Bitpim does that for you. Minor Glitches: 1. Every time you upload anything to the phone, Bitpim reboots the phone when done. BitPim then automatically tries to re-detect the phone, but as it is not a u470 it fails and you get error messages in both BitPim and Windows. Tell BitPim to continue anyway and manually reselect the u470 and everything is OK. 2. The screens on the u410 are a different size and shape than on the u470. You can size your images yourself before trying to add them to the phone and then manually override BitPim's attempts to resize for the u470 (see Bitpim instructions- use shift key). Main screen is 160x128 on the u410, but 640x480 jpg work fine. 3. Ringtones received over the air don't show up in the BitPim ringtones tab (stored in separate locked directory, not seen by BitPim as ringtones, but readable through the file system)- no problem, BitPim can freely load your own ringtones. Works great, see formats below. 4. BitPim doesn't understand multimedia messages (but you can see them in the file directory). SCH-u410 info from Samsung: Samsung say that the u410 has 22MB of memory shared among pictures, ringtones, sounds, applications and picture messages, with a separate 1MB memory for SMS messages. Samsung supported filetypes: BMP, PNG, BCI, JPG, GIF & PMD for images, CMX4, 72Poly MIDI, EVRC, QCELP, I-Melody, MP3, AAC & AAC+ for sound. A big thanks to the BitPim developers!
