I would love to find a Roger's branded firmware that either fixed some issues with my V3t, or if possible flashed it up to a V3i...

The phone actually states it is a V3i, but the software is for a V3T I think.

why do you want a rogers flash rogers normally block you from using your own ringtones get a unbranded flex its better or if you need a rogers flex just get a phone from someone and make one next time i get a phone i'll make a copy and post.

If I could find an unbranded flex that works I would use it.

As it is right now I can't create shortcuts, my display acts up, I can't listen to music half the time because I get errors from mp3s... all of which Rogers are aware of.

I have the V3T, and I wish I could just smash this damn thing.

You are using the FULL verison of Flash & backup, right?
(Trial version does not backup CODE GROUP 2)
(Note, please save as SHX, not sbf...)


PS: What is the complete flash ID string on these Rogers V3T's ???.. See my "sig" above to see what a Motorola id string should look like, then post back!!!

Reason?: I'm looking for a newbie on another board... have run a search and am looking for the id string to run a google search to see if I can find it for the guy.



Here's some places to upload it to:

All the file service work pretty much the same. For example via megaupload.com you go to www.megaupload.com, browse to the file upload. Before uploading go to the file, select properties and cut and past the file name into the description box., upload the file, and once uploaded there is a "link" that appears that you can share with others.

If megaupload does not work for you here's some more:

http://rapidshare.com Upload-Limit: Unlimited! (Max. 100 MB per file! Split-Archives allowed
http://www.spread-it.com/ (Up to 500 mb)
http://www.sendspace.com/ Select file* (up to 300MB):
http://www.sendspace.com/flashupload.html Browse and select the files (maximum 5) you want to upload. Each file can be up to 300MB.
http://turboupload.com/ (maximum 70 MB):
http://www.up-file.com/index1.php maximum file size Unlimited
http://depositfiles.com/en/ (Max. 300 MB)
http://s7.yousendit.com/ (Max 100mb), (2gig on paid account)

Thanks!

Rogers V3T
R479_G_08.B5.3DR_GSPV3IRGRS01NA147

Sound like it's a R479 series, you should be able to use alot of the MP's out there if the bootloader is the same, (or within the family. (I.E, phones with the same prefix R479- Using the bootloaders within the same range- on some phone a upgrade from one bootloader to another possible).

Btw what bootloader does this phone use?.. Please check and post BACK the bootloader version
To Check bootloader verison
Press and HOLD the * and # key while powering UP.


Screen will show the bootloader, firmware, flex version...

Yikes, I have the V3T with the same specs as above in terms of software and bootloader, and it just bricked on me. It started having weird issues with saving images and video and now the only thing I can get working is the bootloader. Does anyone have the Rogers V3T image on hand?

And I just got this thing last night too...

Many thanks for the quick reply WeAreNotAlone. Unfortunately, flashing the phone (repeatedly and with both F&B and RSDLite) hasn't gotten me anywhere.

I'm starting to wonder if maybe I'm dealing with a physical memory defect and thiking that maybe it was good to have caught this now when Rogers is still willing to ship me a replacement right away. Now to wait for the mailman to come...

That said, if you have any other ideas, I'd be open to hearing them both to satiate my curiosity and be enlightened in case this should happen again.

Was this R479_G_08.B5.3DR_GSPV3IRGRS01NA147_OA.30_Bootloade r_ROGERS_CANADA_LOCKED "stock"... how old was it? How much run-time?
http://www.standardics.nxp.com/quality/efr/
Components typically have an initially high, but rapidly decreasing, failure rate. The Early Failure Rate (EFR), sometimes referred to as Infant Mortality Failures (IMF) or Early Life Failures (ELF), represents this small fraction of the population of components which contain defects that do not immediately fail but will fail in a relatively short time interval.


Did you do anything to it, or was it stock and it just started acting weird?

I had it for just over 24 hours, stock right from Rogers to me. The only modding I had done to it was to install a few new skins with Skin Manager 0.50.

The weirdness with the images and video capturing was that, after a certain point, it would only let me capture one image per boot-up before telling me there was insufficient storage space (despite having more than 95% memory free on the phone at the time and the picture counter on the camera display indicating that the phone could take 130-ish more pictures).

Incidentally, this same sort of thing started happening with loading skins. Again, despite having ample room available on the phone ( >9000KB iirc), Skin Manager would fail when trying to load skins past a certain magical point.

And then there was the /ptt/ folder on the device that was filled with 0 byte garbage files with extensions like ".dat˙˙˙˙˙˙˙˙˙˙˙˙˙˙˙˙˙˙˙˙˙˙˙". I'm still curious about this one if you happen to have any ideas.

And finally, lets not forget the one built-in yahoo smiley gif file with the corrupted filename that had the tendency to disappear and reappear. I tried to rename it to fix the corrupted character and bring it inline with the naming scheme of the other emoticons (whose use elludes me since Rogers seems to have removed any and all IM apps from the device), but the filesystem and P2kCommander were random about recognizing it and completely unwilling to rename, copy, move, or delete it.


I know Rogers is sending me out a new phone that'll hopefully leave any and all problems like this behind me, but I have an uncontrollable need to debug this thing. Parents, look out for your children, this is what happens when you let them get computer science degrees

When you get the new one, use Flash & Backup 3+++(the full version) to create some backups. I do a full one, then each code group...

On the problems... could be something with Skin Manager 0.50., could be hardware related. Guess if the next one does the same thing that will give you clues on that issue.

It may be that the programs you are using just don't like a V3T R479_G_08.B5.3DR_GSPV3IRGRS01NA147.


I know for a fact that some newer phones don't work right with P2K Menu Editor v2.3 for example, used to create custom Menu's...

Yeah, mine is the V3T, so no iTunes.

I don't know if you need it now or not, but I have had my Rogers v3t for 3 days now. I flashed it from stock, so it is branded with the Rogers logo. I had messed my phone up trying to do some mods but managed to get it back to stock by using my backup and RSD Lite 3.2.

If you (or anyone) needs a Rogers branded software - version number - R479_G_08.B5.86R I have it. My boot loader is 0A.30.

Chassy79,

Please head over to MODMYMOTO and post it there, plus maybe contact the admin to get it added in the download section as well-

Why?

That board is:

A: Allot more "active" than Ho-Fo
B: Has more people into heavy-duty modding of their phones.
C: There is a HUGE thread ( a sticky) that was made for the express purpose of having ALL the flashes in (1) place - instead of references to this or that flash being posted in ten thousand differant threads...

Well, what usually happens is the download links someone may post goes stale....

(I'm of the mindset the more "mirrors" the better- so get it upped to the download section- PLUS mirror it....)
