Quick Tutorail
A. Switch the cable to DATA (PCB093LBE)
B. Remove the cable from your phone
C. Remove your battery
D. Put your battery back after 5secs
E. Put the cable in the phone [ Now your screen is white ]
F. Select the firmware and push the flash button BACKUP FIRST
G. When Optiflash says 'Power on mobile' Push the on/off button 2 secs and the screen should go black leave the phone connected to your cable.

Expanded Tutorail
2. BACKING UP YOUR FIRMWARE (Prior to doing all these steps, take out your SIM card and make sure your phone is off).
A. Unzipped these files to a folder. Open the optiflash.exe file and go to Options=>Settings=>Read. Clear all the information from the Read Range field and add the following:

0x00000000 - 0x00001fff
0x00004000 - 0x00ffffff

B. You can save the file to whatever name you want in the Save File field. The default name is save.sre. Click OK

C. Go the Com Port tab and for the first Comp Port select the correct port that your datacable is connected to. For the second COM Port select none.

D: Go to the Generic tab and select Your Phone Model in the Specify Hardware Platform field and press OK and it should bring you back to the Optiflash - [Default] box.

E: Connect your phone to the datacable and click on the Read button. Then press the power button on your phone. *Note that your phone will not be on but the program should start backing up your rom.

F. After this is done you should get a message that says "All is well" in the log.

G. Next detach your phone from the datacable and take out your battery for about ten seconds and then put your battery back on.

H. Next go to File open and select the file that you just saved (save.sre or whatever you called it) and press the Verify button. If it verifies 100% it will say "All is well". If you cannot pass this step, I highly recommend that you do NOT continue with the firmware upgrade.

I. If you were successful with step H, detach your phone from the datacable again and take out the battery for about ten seconds and put the battery on after that. Now you are ready to flash your firmware.

3. FLASH (firmware upgrade)
A. Go back to the Optiflash window. Go to the Options=>Settings and select the Flash and Verify tab.

B. In the File to Load or Verify field, select the .s3 or .sre ROM it should be in the folder where you extracted the files.

C. In the Reserve Memory regions, make sure everything there is blank. Click OK.

D. Attach your phone again to the datacable and press the Flash button. Then press the power button on your phone. (Note that your phone will not power on but the program should start running). This process took about 15-20 minutes on my phone. When it is done it should say "All is well" in the log.

E. Detach your phone from the datacable and take out the batter for about ten seconds. Then put the battery back on and power up your phone.

(Optional)
F. When your phone is back on, punch in these codes: (Note that after each code is entered, your phone will go blank for about 1-2 seconds then it will come back on again.)

*2767*STACKRESET# <====*2767*7822573738#
*2767*MEDIA# <====*2767*63342#
*2767*FULL# <====*2767*3855#
*2767*CUST# <====*2767*2878#
*2767*WAP# <====*2767*927#


YOU are done flashing your ROM.

Other Configurations:

1. In Network Services=>Network Selection=>Manual====>Choose T-Mobile and select OK.
2. In Network Services=>Band Selection=>Select GSM 1900

If you subscribe to T-Zone you need to do the following:

T-Mobile GPRS Setting
1. Go to Menu=>Funbox=>WAP Browser=>Settings
2. Edit Profile 1 with the following Info:

maybe one of you guys can help me with this,
i got s307 with cingular.
I flashed the phone using few different firmwares including S3MXXWF4 (in italian i think) . and used all the reset codes.
The problem is that after i put the sim card.. it starts searching for service and finds T-Mobile, it also shows that its Roaming.
I tried to select different Network but that is the only one available. Why is it roaming and not finding cingular? Is it because the phone is not unclocked? Could anybody help me with this?


Posted by: linuXshock

ignore the above reply.. i figured it out. I put my friend's T-Mobile sim card in..and it worked. I guess the firmware is s307-> s300
which is T-mobile. It didn't give me sim card errors when i put the tmobile card so i guess the phone is pretty much unlocked in some way.


Posted by: kRaZeAzN

dont knwo how you got the s300 firmware working on the s307 but you must be one lucky dude lol


Posted by: jjanil2

is that possible?
s307 to s300???
which firmware did you use?


Posted by: kRaZeAzN

not possible


Posted by: D3alsLov3R

Hi, I flashed my v206 to v200, but the firmware in my phone now is v20xxwa2 and v20xewc2. I checked on other thread, and i know that the firmware i having now is not the latest one. So, may i know which firmware I should download to replace them?? Pls help~!! Thanks~!!!


Posted by: D3alsLov3R

I flashed it again, and this time i got the v20xxwa2 and v20xxwc3~!!! Are they the latest one?? if not, what should I download?? Pls help~!!! Thanks~!!!


Posted by: kRaZeAzN

k2 is the newest but that is malaysian firmware


Posted by: ScruffyGuy

You can be such a moron. If I could have found it, I would have. And yes, I did search google. Thanks for your .02 cents worth of information (no matter how useless it is)

Posted by: linuXshock

well i loaded the firmware from what appears to be t-mobile phone and i think s300 series is for tmobile, thefore i assumbed it was s300 firmware. I might be wrong


Posted by: linuXshock

Ok here i did it again.. ,
i flashed the phone with s30xxwj1 firmware.
I turned on the phone and it says T-mobile, tried to make calls and it works, but it says its roaming. Took my dad's sim card from his t-mobile phone and it worked.
When i hit the code to check the software version it gives me:
Rev S1.6h
S30XXWJA
i tried to take a picture to prove to you guys that it worked but the flash from the camera was messing up the pictures


Posted by: kRaZeAzN

your the only one that got it to work then.


Posted by: linuXshock

hehe, but its not useful to me in any way since im not gonna leave cingular just yet.

I found another firmware but this time for s307, a newer one than the one i have but after i flashed it and put the sim card in it said "invalid sim card" i guess its not a firmware from cingular phone and its not unlocked. Any ideas how to unlock it using
WinIMEI Patcher ?

And another quick question, if something happens when i try to unlock it and it might say "phone locked return for service" is it possible to flash it again with the backup copy of the firmare that i made and get the phone to work ? Or am i basicaly screwed?

ya mine did the same thing, i turned on the phone after i flashed it and it said wrong sim, i guess im screwed too...


Posted by: linuXshock

do you have a backup of the cingular's firmware that came with your phone?
Cause if you dont i do.. and i could give it to you


Posted by: Raab Himself

no i have one....i just called up cingular and they told me to go to a store tomorrow to have it looked at, they told me i just might need to unlock it...which would make sense because i have a rogers firmware in a cingular phone


Posted by: linuXshock

Connect phone to data cable( i took my sim card out just in case)
put the battery back, power on the phone
run test1.exe from the file directory of v2s3q1.

click on Test mode, and then click unlock.
If it passes, click unlock again, and you're done


Posted by: Raab Himself

What's the password to unlock the zip file?


Posted by: ScruffyGuy

The V20DXWK2 software didn't do much for me. I flashed my phone and now my camera doesn't work. I flashed back, the camera works. I flashed again, the camera didn't work.

Who knows????

i'm new to samsung phones but i've been flashing panasonics for quite some time now. i've spent the past few hours searching through the samsung forums...

anyone know where i can download the latest S208 chinese firmware?

also, does januka work with the s200? i tried converting my hex firmware to binary but januka doesnt seem to recognize it.


another thing, i read that someone said it's impossible to kill the s200 with a bad flash... is that right? will the phone always be reflashable even if the flashing fails?

HELP...please please help me...thanks in adv.


Posted by: Ragnar0k_X

flash your backup firmware back to your phone, make sure you have the right firmware. if you want your old phone back, if not find a firmware like yours.

i believe you use difference only which might cause some incompatibility errors. i think your suppose to check it off becuase if you want to flash it to a different firmware, the phone should be resetted also with some reset codes and unlocked I think.

I don't know though because I haven't tried this beofre.

V200 is not chinese
V208 is chinese.

big difference? i think so.


Posted by: bkono

Can anyone tell me where I can get this latest version of the S105 firmware? I tried looking at http://www.chris.tp/s105/ but couldn't find it there? Any place else that I can get this firmware?

thanks in adavce.


Posted by: SGH-X400user~

I just bought the SGH-X400 when I visited Hong Kong. I can't get the wap settings to work on the Rogers network, which uses a port number with their IP address. There is no option to set the port, at least not with my firmware:

Rev X1.4
X408ZKWI1
(with Chinese)

Are the other firmware revisions any different? Is there some other way around this problem?


Any help would be appreciated.


Posted by: SGH-X400user~

INNO90?? NIIICE dude NICE!! I was just in Hong Kong and almost bought the INNO 89. A steal at $630 Cdn, but it was a little too much phone for me. Just like my old Sony Ericsson T68i, I would probably only use 20% of all the phone's features. Innostream makes some sweet @ss phones though. Gotta like those dual 260K colour LCDs!! ××××!! kicking myself for not buying it now, but oh well, i didn't want an expensive phone that I would have to baby all the time.
