What is XSYM file?
The file in the XSYM format belongs to the Misc Files category. Additionally, the Misc Files category contains 6033 of other files.

The main program that supports this format is CodeWarrior Development Studio. This was created by Freescale Semiconductor, Inc..
How to open XSYM file?
The most common problem when using CodeWarrior XSYM Data Format is that a specific XSYM is not associated with the program. This is manifested by the fact that XSYM files open in unusual applications or do not have an assigned program. This problem can be easily remedied.
The first thing you should do is just "doubleclick" on the XSYM file icon you want to open. If the operating system has an appropriate application to support it and there is also an association between the file and the program, the file should be opened.
Step 1. Install CodeWarrior Development Studio
An often overlooked issue is to make sure that CodeWarrior Development Studio is installed on the computer. To do this, enter the name CodeWarrior Development Studio into the system search engine. In the absence of an appropriate program, its installation in the vast majority of cases will fix the problem. Below is a list of programs that support the file XSYM.
Programs to open XSYM file
Remember to download programs supporting XSYM files only from verified and safe sources. We suggest using the websites of software developers.
Step 2. Create association of CodeWarrior Development Studio with XSYM files
If, despite the installed application, the XSYM file does not start in the CodeWarrior Development Studio application, you must create a file association. It is most convenient to call the context menu with the right mouse button and select Properties. The displayed window will contain information about the program that supports this type of file. Using the "Change" button we can select the desired program. It may happen that in the next window there will be no appropriate program - however, this can be corrected with the "Browse" option where you should manually indicate the program location. Checking the "Always use the selected program ..." box will permanently associate the XSYM file with the CodeWarrior Development Studio program.
Step 3. Update CodeWarrior Development Studio to the latest version
If, however, after binding CodeWarrior Development Studio with CodeWarrior XSYM Data Format there were still problems, you should update the program to the latest version. This can be done using the application (if it provides such options) or from the Freescale Semiconductor, Inc. website and install the latest version.
Step 4. Check for the following problems with the XSYM file
Of course, it may happen that despite the above steps, the file still does not work. File problems can be divided into the following:
The affected file may be 0 KB or smaller than expected. This suggests truncating the XSYM file contents when downloading or copying. The only repair option is to download the file again.
The computer may have fallen victim to a computer virus or hacker. A virus scan using an up-to-date antivirus program should fix the problem. Some antivirus vendors also provide free online scanners. The scan should cover the entire computer, not only the XSYM file that we want to open. However, remember that not every infected XSYM file can be recovered, so it is important to take care of regular backups.
This can happen especially when the program is dynamically developed and the structure of the XSYM files changes over time. On their websites, developers usually offer free solutions to such problems, e.g. in the form of a conversion program or an older version of the program.
There can be many reasons for this. Depending on the type of file, it is necessary to repair it accordingly. Some programs offer the ability to automatically repair XSYM file corruption. The easiest way is to restore the file from a backup, if there is one, or contact
The program can also signal the fact of encryption. The encrypted file XSYM except for the special designation, works normally, but only on the device where it was encrypted, before transferring it to another machine, decryption is required.
Some of the system directories are excluded from modification. While there is usually no problem reading such a file, it may not be possible to save it. Copying the XSYM file to another location will fix the problem.
This problem usually affects more complex files. In this case, the XSYM file is blocked by the first application to open it. Closing other programs should help. Sometimes you have to wait for the session to the file XSYM to close. Some anti-virus or backup software may occupy the XSYM file for a certain period of time. If nothing helps, please reset the device.
