How did you come across it? - copy from a Rogers phone or download somewhere? LOL I've been googling for the last couple of days in my spare time to no avail. |

It's possible to go back anytime and there are few more reasons: *ringtones that you can record or download with cable *and java applets(progs and games) wich you can write using data cable as well. This reasons were main for me because my sister doesn't use wap and I have M55. But except color screen and size of memory I do not see big difference btween M5x and C5x you can PM me your mail if you want and I'll write you as soon as I'll do it but I don't wanna promise anything. And try to ask other people who did it. Good Luck! PS I tried to apply graphic pathches: I drew new background for clock using SiemensPictureChanger. Lookes much better than original!!! |

| If there are lots of people on here with the cables and phones that really want to do this but are running into difficulties, I may write up a proper doc and host the files for an easy to follow instruction...PM me if you fall under this category. All in all, the information provided in this thread should suffice though. Remember if you follow the Read first write second as in the PDF, you can always GO BACK to an A56 if you mess it up somehow...this is your BACKUP. |

I was expecting some sort of catastrophic failure upon startup but nothing happened! Of course, I got everything else backed up, so I'm not worried. Thanks for the tip though! I have battery problems with my M55 and nothing helps
That's about all I could think of. .

I just hope you didn't fry your phone. |
[(Didn't mean to embarrass you or make you feel bad!) Anyway, C55 is the 900MHz/1800MHz version of the C56, and even though only the frequencies are different, I'm afraid their firmwares are not interchangable because there are hardware differences. Yes, it kinda sucks that the non 850/1900 phones have more firmware choices, but that's life. As mentioned in some other recent posts, I don't think there are firmwares readily available for the x56 phones... unlike the x55's. Hope I have helped! Mosquito_R [/B] |
I don't really need it but i think many guys here will do it too!!!!!!

Originally posted by hchishtie HUH I am not even sure what i have done. I just followed the russain PDF you provided and followed it. I think the whole point of doing this was to firmware upgrade adn i thought everyone else was doing this. please tell me what special i have done. I though i was the moron who was always askingstupid question again and again ( all the questions where answered on page 2 0r 3 of this thread but i never bothered to read all of them )

Originally posted by hchishtie No hardfeelings at all. the phone is not toasted. It is working perfectly. The only thing i hvae noticed and cant seem to figure out is that when i was finished with the upgrade i had GPRS symbol on my set. It was there for good 6 7 hours but now it is gone. Is this something provider related. To be clear to everyone, i am in a Gait market of Cingular not GSM so i am using some other companies GSM signals. Is this what is causing not getting GPRS. I think i am using ATTWS signals and they offer full GPRS service in my locality.If this is the case why i am not getting it. any ideas or suggestion ????? |
|
As for your GPRS query, the indicator means that your phone is GPRS enabled, and it doesn't necessarily mean it's connected via GPRS at that moment. Depending on the provider (SIM card) you can turn GPRS on/off, or maybe they make that choice for you. Check in your options to see if you can turn GPRS on or off. See somewhere in Setup>Connectivity. Hope this helps, and enjoy your phone! [/B]

anyone else experiencing this? i'm wondering if it's due to the flash files or if i flashed it improperly, or something w/ the eeprom modding?

Unfortunately those patches do NOT work for the C56, as the eeprom blocks are a bit different. Some may, but you can very easily mess up the eeprom on ure phone...nuttin a backup cant fix but whatever. What you can do however is to find the address of what to change is to open the eeprom file in a hex editor and search for the "old" bytes in it, then you can make your own patch file.

I did that to invert my lcd screen and it worked fine, but that one was fairly easy.... Have fun...dont kill your phone fellas |

Originally posted by mosquito_R Dunno if this has been answered... but I experienced the exact same problems. However, there's a half-solution around it: THis works for phone numbers only. Say if my key 3 is programmed for "Bob", the phone will actually look for a "Bob" in the SIM card phonebook. If I renamed "Bob" to "Bobby", the phone would not find it and thus your key 3 is free (ie. displays "Set" on the right) again. Keys programmed with a function (e.g. Hide ID) cannot be reprogrammed like so... perhaps only a flash could take care of that. Cheers, Mosquito_R |
so definitely nothing wrong w/ the flash files.. just when u apply the DES patch
|
Originally posted by alpha tag well, i did a reflash and didn't apply any eeprom feature hacking.. it was working like it should.. so then i tried some eeprom hacking and found out the reason why that "bug" occurs is because when u use that program to enable DES, it'll cause areocheck and disable the ability to change quick keys so definitely nothing wrong w/ the flash files.. just when u apply the DES patch
|
So, have you tried using the Siemens phone browser on your phone w/o the EEPROM hacking? Did it work? Of course, the main interest is that I wanna change wallpapers, ringtones and such with a data cable...
|
Originally posted by alpha tag yea i was able to browse using A56 firmware and no eeprom hacking i 'think' just replacing the eeprom file might do it... with the newest version of quick eeprom features, it'll save a copy of the previous eeprom by default... so use eeprom tools and return it back to the pre-hack eeprom way with that backup file.. although i haven't tried that yet and i am just assuming here
|
|
Originally posted by alpha tag ok did another flash and i've found the reason again why the shortcut key 'bug' is created.. it's NOT just DES enabling, but the simple ACT of eeprom hacking with quick features... i tried just enabling dual-band selection and the 'bug' was created... the aerocheck becomes active whenever u hack it the first time... |
. Like you hear a low dull tone and the lights come on but then it doesn't respond and goes off. Any ideas. I think it's because I didn't save the 5 or so eeprom blocks? *shrug* I honestly barely know wat I'm talkin about. Oh yea plus I don't think it even goes into service mode anymore ... is dat a bad thing (please let it not be !!!!).
but always make sure teh battery is full when flashing or anything above 50% capacity... full is the best of course
