I am working on that and on the problem to restore the working P900 Bluetooth drivers to a P910a.

But I still need somebody who is willing to send me the P910a driver files.
So again: who has a P910a and is willing to help? Please PM me and I will tell you how to copy very simply the driver files to your PC and send it over to me for testing. In exchange you will be the first to get an improved P900 (DUO PRO support etc.) without negative BT effects

Thx Tapirus.

There's a guy on Esato saying he can't open office files on his converted phone. He says there's no built-in viewer and installing QuickOffice doesn't help.
Can anyone confirm this?

Forget about it. He figured out what was wrong. I would delete the upper post but I can't.

I have some disheartening news about the Bluetooth problems associated with the conversion. Lead (the main programmer of Fighter) developed the conversion files on a prototype P910a, which was using the P900's Bluetooth chip (IRMA). Production P910's ship with a Blueberry chip, which uses a totally different firmware.

So, his original statement that the BT firmwares were interchangeable might be wrong after all. Hopefully he will be looking into this ASAP, because this conversion has obviously become a huge deal, worldwide...

29,000 views in six days. Not bad!

BTW, the 16MB video of me using an MS Pro DUO card in a P900 has been downloaded from exactly 1067 UNIQUE IP addresses (at time of this post), probably multiple times from many of them!

OUCH!

Yes, I believe he installed QuickOffice on top of the one already in the ROM, which caused some problems. After reverting to the one in the ROM, all was well.

does this mean a solution is less likely? or does this mean there probably is no solution?

It's too early to tell, but I am not going to lie to you... It's not looking very good...

Lead can really do some magic though, so we'll see what happens!

Maybe I will start offering a service to install Blueberry chips into people's P900s!!! (JUST KIDDING)

I wouldn't mind to send my P900 to you to get it flashed (shipping expenses payed by me of course), but it seems you don't accept shipments from outside the US...

I really can't wait to be finally able to carry a decent amount of OGGs in my P900!!

I had my P900 upgraded to the P910 firmware at the weekend and it's been very stable so far.

I don't know if this has been discussed yet, but I have been using an Emtac Bluetooth GPS unit in conjunction with WayFinder on the new firmware and it works fine.

On the headset front, my HBH-600 was not functional with the P900 running P910 firmware (and is now on eBay

) but my other headset, a Jabra BT250, works as long as you use the button on the headset to transfer the call (voice dialling using the headset button to initiate also works). Ironically, this is similar to the problems I had with my first P900 firmware, where my trusty Jabra was the only headset that worked with any consistency (and even then would pick up maybe 70%) of the time.

The only app I have had a problem with is Projekt (by Kylom), this just exits with an error message when I try to start on the P9/10, I am going to get in touch with the author and see if he has tested on the P910 'proper' yet, as the problem may exist there also.

Being able to read HTML e-mail is a blessing, and needless to say, two 512Mb Duo Pros are making their way through the postal system to me as I write!

Posted by: richy240

Can we list the BT headsets that DO work with the P910 firmware so we can judge whether to make the jump to the new software?

I want a Bluetrek G2, but I hear this also has problems. Which headsets are not having problems? Also, any USB Bluetooth adapters that have been found to work? Mine broke, so I am in the market for one anyway.

Please advise.

EDIT: List devices here http://www.howardforums.com/showthr...threadid=457765

Just got my phone done from mike today (anlog) we both live in orange county so we met up. I really like the upgrade, cant wait for my 512mb to come, who needs an ipod when you got a p900! lol anyways, yea mikes a reliable guy and its definately worth it. One thing i did notice is that with tracker 3.0 you cant assign controls, it says that its an unknown device, tracker still works 100% fine except you cant make customized controls. Ive had no problems with any other program.

Hey, im new to this forum, and have been excited about the new P900 conversion. Anlog is it possible to have the P900i converted on Orange to the new P910 firmware? Would it been a P910a or P910i upgrade? Has anyone seen a 1GB Duo Pro card online from Sony or are other brands better? Again well done for the new breakthrough and keep up the excellent work. I have always thought Sony products before Oct 2003 (maybe not Cameras) do not support Duo Pro cards and have felt its a software issue. On that point about Tracker 4.xx i noticed it gives a call duration in flip closed but have only ever seen it when i installed Tracker (it is still installed but not in use) and since a few days the call duration dissappered. Is the Bluetooth headset the only problem so far, as i am many concerned with sending via Bluetooth and find control panel much more stable than Handy Day or Tracker. Regarding the P910 and its fancy screen, it seems to draw more power from the battery as on the Sony Ericsson website its shorter than the P900. Could you please get back to me on how to go about receiving the P910 firmware in the Uk for the P900

Tapirus have you had any luck yet?

So so exciting

I don't think the 1GB cards are out yet. Sandisk is fine - I used one in my conversion video (see page 1). The P900 apparently can't take avantage of the faster DUO cards, so they will all run at the same speed (on the phone) no matter what brand you get. If you also plan on using your cards in a camera or computer (and speed is important), you might want to purchase a faster model (from a vendor like Lexar or Sony).

Yes, the phone will work fine. When you load the conversion firmware images it will remove all traces of Orange, though.

Sandisk works fine, and is the cheapest (see my other post).

Even the new S700 coming out doesn't support Pro DUO (SCREW YOU SE).

Lots of Bluetooth issues. Please check through the various threads for more info about what works/doesn't work. The only headset that really works is the Jabra (BT200 or BT250). Your mileage will vary with any other Bluetooth operation.

Battery life will remain the same with the conversion.

I do not do business Internationally, so as to not take away business from others in the GSM community. In RARE instances I will take an overseas order, though.

gbrooks3 at esato.com is supposedly doing upgrades for free in the UK...

Well, you can also flash the unbranded P900 firmware to it, and will have a fully functional phone with all of the Orange crap removed...

Just to get a feel.... how much is the 256MB duo pro out there in the other part of the world?

I bought one from Taiwan, Sandisk, cost about NT2000, which is about US60.

well all seems good, lets just hope Lead can iron out the little bugs for the BT, cos im sure he knows what he is doing, apart from that im ready to flash. Anlog keep us all posted please

They are the same size. I've got both, a 32mb Duo (which came with my P900) and a 256mb Duo Pro. Except for the color and the markings, they look exactly the same. That is, they are the same size and shape.

Hi every1,

i joined this forum just to add a small point about the blutooth problem.

i'v upgraded my p900 to p910a with se fighter, everything else is ok but bluetooth isnt working anymore, wel it pairs up with both my cellink handsfree and my HBH-35 (finds them,asks pass and says paired etc) but when it comes to making call it says call lost, ok to carry on in phone?

hope its just a bug otherwise its back to p900 firmware and i was just geting used 2 the rather nice look of the thing.

as for speed, the very first time something was run it was quite slow but after repeat use its psetty much the same if not alittle faster than the p900

I'm in the uk and a fair few of my customers are asking me to update theirs (because of the memory thing) but i cant until the bluetooth issue is resolved

Posted by: Funky_fones

just read the whole thread from start to finish an know alittle more about the bluetooth problem, dont kno if any1 else had tried it but the bluetooth pairing and file transfer to and from a pc work fine on the converted p900 so its just a headset problem then, the wait goen on for a cure...

Posted by: getagrip15

does file transfer to and from other phones still work ok? If so, I might just go ahead and say goodbye to my trusty HBH-600. 512mb memory cards are looking more tasty to me right now.

Posted by: Funky_fones

bluetooth file transfer between my modified p900 and my 6600 works fine bothways so should be ok between other handsets as well

would you be willing to flash the new upgrade to my P900 im in London and can travel, pm me please.

Hi,
I'm in France, I want to know Fighter is a program or program+cable? We can use it with SE synchro station?

Posted by: Funky_fones

SE fighter is software protected by a dongle (usb key), it also needs a special cable to connect the phone upto the pc which works off usb as well, if your only wanting to do 1 phone then just go 2 a reliable phone shop nearby but make sure they know what they'r doin, theres enough cowboys out there

FIGHTER is actually protected by several layer but the most visible one is smartcard by Schlumberger. It requires key to before you can use it. Anyway, funky_fones advise is perfect for casual unlocker.

Thanks to Anlog's R&D, I just got a SE Fighter, and have flashed my P900 w/ 910a's firmware.

So far no problem with Bluetooth Original, also, I had bought a generic BT dongle for my PC, that worked fine as well.

Although, the distance for both devices are still relatively comparable to prior upgrade(kind of disappointed, 'cuz I thought maybe they will improve the firmware design)

THANKS AGAIN ANLOG!!

Please explain your success with Bluetooth devices, as this is why I've been holding off from the upgrade...

I used this link, and dl the p900 -> P910a upgrade files...

http://www.gsm-solution.com.vn/gsm-.../Flash%20Files/

also, I paired my uppgraded P900 with Nextlink's BS Original, as well as a generic BT dongle I bought off ebay.

both devices paired up as it supposed to, everything seemed normal(as if it didn't get the flash, ie the search time amount, etc...)

I used SE Figher 4.0 to do my upgrade...

as you can tell, I'm not a really good instructor(can't really relay directions well)..

I'm not sure what else to include...

better yet, what questions do you guys have specifically?

There is still BT issues with this conversion. Hope it's resolved soon.

what would happen if I were to try upgrading my P910i Prototype to a actual version (as mine is voda/SFR branded... go figure lol)

Posted by: Pepsi_Two

no i have not yet tried to pair it with a se bt headset...I'll try asap, and post the result...

Posted by: anlog

SOME headsets work (Jabras, for example). HBH headsets don't. GPRS dial-up via BT and OBEX via BT work fine for 99% of the conversions out there.

The issues appear to be related to variable mismatches in the GDFS (in the AVR chip) which are causing communication issues between the AVR and IRMA (BT) chipset. This could be related to the prototype firmware images from which the conversion is based, or differences related to a new instruction set used with the Blueberry BT chipset (present in production P910s).

Lead has finally had some free time to work on a fix, and is currently examining several GDFS dumps from a few genuine P910s (since even some production P910s have BT issues).

There is a very good chance your P910i hardware is production, and is just running pre-release images. If your phone is Vodafuqt, don't ever count on them releasing an update via the online update service. You'll need to get it flashed yourself.

it is SFR/Voda
basically, they put everything on it

Afew people hav asked if its worth the hassle of upgrading it because of the bluetooth issue, wel you can make ur own minds up, your old enough anyway, if your not old enough then what the smeg are you doing with a p900 in ur possesion??

Main advantage is obviously the memory stick thing but theres afew other good things.
I cant remember how good the zoom was while looking at photos but its pretty good now, just tapping on pic zooms in.
additional bluetooth option is good as wel, that of 1 tap on/off instead of having to go into the bluetooth menu,

It kills battery power while in bluetooth mode but if it doesnt work with a handsfree anyway theres no reason to hav it on, according to latest news the problem is being dealt with an there should be solution soon so personally i think its worth the hassle.

Program wise i havent seen any problems, at the min i'v got all the code calcs on there (DCT3/4, LG, pana, siemens), vrally, unreal player, file man, power calc, advanced call man, and others an they all seem to be doing ok, every now and again it does seem to ignore the memory stick and deny all knowledge of its existence but rebooting sorts it out,
any questions ask away

tried it with interceptor 4.10

my interceptor cable is detected as a UC-10 universal cable only and not as a interceptor usb cable... could that be the problem?

After you flash a phone, format the internal disk (via the service menu) and post your results. Make sure you are flashing the BT, phone, and Symbian/CDA firmwares.

My thanks go to Sam at Funky Fonez in Manchester who flashed my P900 to a 910 tonight.

Only bad news so far is that it doesn't pair with my Parrot CK3300. Well it pairs but then disconnects, thats using the General profile which works fine with the P910i that I have and the custom P800/900 profile as well.

But other than that great job, Thanks Sam.

Fighter costs about $250US. There is no free/cracked version, and it is heavily protected (multiple layers of hardware/software protection). It also comes with the required cables to flash the phone.

Please take the time to read through the entire thread. Any questions you have about the conversion have probably been answered already!

Step-by-step instructions have been posted in the official Fighter forum (located here).

My Thanks to Mike a.k.a Anlog for doing the conversion on my P900. I went over to his place and got my P900 converted to P910 this last weekend and it works great. My 512 mb memory stick is on the way as we speak. Also, besides definitely knowing what he is doing, Mike is a great person as well. I mean he provided me support for all the little quirky things happening after the conversion without any hesitation at all. One thing ,which I had a problem with, and he helped me solve was that I was not able to connect to my comp after the conversion. I installed the PC Suite v3.0, new DSS drivers everything.. nothing worked. But then he told me I needed to have Office 2000 or higher version for it to work. Installed Office XP and the connection and everything worked like a charm. I dont use bluetooth so I didnt have to worry abt that at all. Once again a great big thanks to Mike.

Mike (anlog) BIG THANKS for the conversion. This is Zanter (Ben) who got the conversion done last wednesday. Mike hooked up the phone in no time and I am now p910 compliant! Very good Job that was quick w/ professional service!

@newp900 / zanter

Thanks for the kind words, guys! Glad I could be of service!

anlog is truly the best...any idea of what happened with the bluetooth problem? still working on it? or did they give up?

im going to upgrade my firmware too, just wanted to know the heads up if the problem can even be solved at all.

Posted by: anlog

Lead (head Fighter programmer) is still working on a fix. He has also talked about releasing an updated set of conversion images, running the latest version of the P910i software. Right now there are a lot of angry Fighter owners who are demanding K700 support.

I believe he has temporarily put the BT fix aside while he franticly works on the K700 solution. It's all about keeping his customers happy, and more customers want K700 support than a BT fix.

Hopefully it will be here soon(er than later)...

Posted by: make7upurs271

thanks for the reply lets all hope

at least it looks like there will be a fix guaranteed

Posted by: grabaka

I have not read most of what has been written on this thread, and I'm not a frequent user of this forum, but I just wanted to post that I met anlog for an upgrade and everything since has gone perfectly.

I was skeptical about sending him my p900 so i met him in person and it was a quick and painless process. hes a nice guy too...thanks

Posted by: tzar007

Phew, just finished reading ALL posts. From first to last in this thread. Couldn't stop. It was like reading a book or watching a movie.
From post to post I was hoping there will be a fix for BT issues. I was tempted few times to jump to the latest post but I resisted. Anyway, it was worth it.

Anlog, you are the best.
I am in Toronto, Canada. Do you know anybody around here that could flash my P900 to P910? (Pacific mall maybe ?!?)
Or would you make this one exception and do it for out-of-US. At least we are neighbours.

Again, great work. I'm eagerly expecting good news regarding BT issues.

Posted by: Lorenz

Is there a possibility to fix the memory limitation of the P900 only? Because that's the only thing which bothers me, I use bluetooth a lot, so the p910 flash isn't an option for me (yet).

I bet they willnot. I was sending them e-mail sometime about that problem. They said it's impossible to make P900 read MS DUO PRO =). So they will not. Surely they know how to do it, but no.

Posted by: dundan

Anlog, I'm impatiently waiting for some good news!

Now will Sony support the newly annouced HS MS DUO PRO in the P900 OR P910 or restrict the format until the P920?

<snip from digit-life.com>
Sony shifts High Speed Memory Stick PRO Duo sales to February — Cormac

Sony informed that sales of High Speed Memory Stick PRO cards will be launched on October 8, while sales of HS Memory Stick PRO Duo will be delayed until February 10, 2005. Currently HS Memory Stick PRO series includes 256, 512 MB and 1, 2 GB cards, while HS Memory Stick PRO Duo series includes 256, 512 MB and 1 GB cards.

According to the press release, the reason to delay sales of HS Memory Stick PRO Duo is the need to check if existing equipment is ready to support the new flash media.

The company claims that its High Speed media will outperform existing solutions by two times providing 80 Mbps throughputs. The cards will be supported by both new readers and those working with older Memory Stick PRO.

Nothing is certain - that is just an expected date for some definite news regarding the future of BT on converted phones.

As for conversions, yes I still do them, and yes you can mail your phone to me as long as your return address is within the US.

The P900 and P910 will not utilize the full speed of DUO cards.

The real deal. I pre-ordered one on the sony ericsson website. Seems like they got the best price so far. I admit it is a little steep so sue me for being loyal to my phone craze. Anyway would anyone know about something cheaper than $830 please let me know.

No offense to anlog i still love my converted p900.which i will keep for until i get my new son(p910a) then i will consider selling it with one of my 128 mb sticks given if there are any takers out there for whatever it is they're going for. Then again i just might keep it.

i shall wait in peace.

So anlog, what's the word? We are dying here.

I need handsfree profile for my P900.
Anybody that has flashed your P900 to P910a, did you try it with a BT built in cars (Acura, BMW, ...).
I am thinking of installing the BT kit in my car but I would need to enable my phone first to support handsfree profile.

Anybody?

Howdy! It's still Friday here (11:14PM to be exact)!!!

Ok, the big news is that Lead is a man of few words. He says "I've figured out the reason BT doesn't work - more to come", but never explains why. Instead, he says he is "busy", but that he has developed a new set of conversion images based on production P910i revisions. This is a GOOD thing, since the original ones were developed from pre-release images (though they are stable).

The images were supposed to be uploaded today, but were not. I am assuming they will be available tomorrow, and will fully test them to see if BT is fixed (though I am guessing it is NOT, by the context of Lead's message)...

More to come...

Hopefully all BT probs are solved in this release. In am glad that Lead made new firmware based on a P910i, I am European....so I was hoping that there would come a customized P910i firmware and my wishes are coming out very soon!
If the firmware works good then I want on my P900 for sure!

I'm taking pre-orders for P910is'...I have about 30 pcs coming in about two weeks or so...asking $750 plus freight(my cost is $740/pcs plus freight to me)...let me know if any of you are interested in it...pm me for more info...

PS. in regarding to BT, I found out that my conversion only works with nextlink's headsets, and the generic bt dongle for my pc. I have yet to find any other headsets that works with the P910a conversion.

Also for R&D purposes, I will be doing free flash(p900=>p910a). I'm located in PA, although I do ask the sender to cover return shipping...

Posted by: derrumbe

so it works with the nextlink bt headsets? that's all I'm really concerned about. if I have confirmation of that, I can send on my phone to anlog

Posted by: getagrip15

So is the compatability with the nextlink bt headsets 100%? Any unexpected cut offs?

You have some reading to do. New conversion images were released a few days ago (P900 to P910i). I would hope that you still aren't flashing the pre-release P910a images to people's phones (sounds like you are).

It must be nice running a "business" where you only make $10 profit on a P910i sale, or get to flash people's phones all day long without getting paid. Back here on planet Earth, us lowly humans need to charge for that service, so that we can buy this thing called "food".

If you would have actually read this thread, you would see that Jabra headsets work (somewhat) with the conversion. Nextlink headsets have been tested, and did not work for many people. I'm not saying they don't work with yours, just that you appear to be the odd man out. Did you actually TEST the headset BEYOND the pairing process? Did you make a call? Answer a call? Initiate voice-dialing? Most BT headsets pair FINE, but still don’t work...

It's not wise to jump on this thread at page 21 and give people inaccurate and/or incomplete information. I can't speak for the rest of us, but I'd be pretty freaking scared to send my P900 to a "Sunday unlocker" such as yourself. I'm wary of anyone who offers to flash a P900 for free, because they:

A.) Probably have some hidden agenda (unless you're Sung from Global Mobility - he's just really nice).

OR

B.) Haven't flashed very many, and are still tickled pink when they get to hold one in their hands.

It appears that many posts (including several of mine) have been lost from this thread during HoFo's recent "outage". How lovely...

So, kids, just to recap:

1. @Pepsi - Have fun flashing your 6th or 7th P900 for free tomorrow. I'll be approaching my 300th, AND getting paid to do it. Why? Because people trust me. Oh yea, and because I have more than enough confidence in my skills to actually charge for them...

2. Yes, two new conversion sets are out, based on PRODUCTION P910i firmware images (one set with English/Russian, and the other with English/Italian/German/French I believe - don't have them in front of me to verify).

3. No, BT is not fixed with the new images, and it is doubtful that it will EVER be (too many hardware/software differences).

That's all, folks. I have nothing more to add to this thread...

Hey dudes!

I got a p900 finally and paid alot for it for a 19yr old dude(its worth it though, I think, I hope...) But anyone that got there p900 flashed had any problem with it exept the Bluetooth? My p900 was used and in repair right now under warranty. Once in p910 convertion, can I convert it back to p900 again if theres a problem with the p910 firmware?

HEy Pepsi dude,19 26

Im close by to your house but still wondering if your convertion is as good as Anlog's. I live all the way east coast and it will cost me too much to send it to Cali until December. Im BroKe.

Hey Anlog,

You sure have the respect from all the members here. My peeps are going to Anaheim Cali in December. Im not sure if your close by but if you are, ill try to arrange something to ship it to you and ship it back from Anahiem.

@Anlog - hmm...where do i start, regardless where, i just want to thank you for your contrib to this forum...have learned much from it, ie, didn't know about the p910i img release!!

- in re to the bt issues, i do realize that p910a img does have bt issues, but i'm just saying that Nextlink's bluespoon worked for me(like you said, it didn't work for everybody)...as far as testing goes, I paired, made out going calls, received calls, although I have to admit, I never set my P900 up for voice dialing, so I never tested that function...

- in re to my "hidden agenda" - i don't have any...I'm an IT/Network consultant for a firm in PA, since we do retail side of the business as well, so I've been doing free unlocking, flashing for various SE phone in this college town, just to make ppl aware that those options are avail to them, as well as have our customers spread positive words about us, since we just started the retail side one year ago(have not yet had much of the residential customer base yet)...so positive PR was my "hidden agenda"... although I did thought about charging ppl a fee from the internet at first...

- above is also the reason that i can afford not charging ppl, since i don't make phone unlocking as my livelihood, and hence have less knowledge than you in the developing aspect of it...

- honestly, I have not yet flashed many P900 to P910a...prob somewhere around 20-30, not really sure, never kept counting...and even before I tought anyone's handset, I would make them aware the bluetooth issues

although i do hope that a working bt img will be released soon....

@dellsonycanon
- if you ever want to catch a PSU ball game(gotta admit that they're pretty bad this year), give me a buzz or pm me...my r&d skill is not comparable to Anlog, gotta give him all the credit for that...although i can implement developed product without any problems though...

I know a highly trusted individual with Fighter that lives in Dusseldorf. He services many phones each month, most of which are mailed to him from various parts of Germany.

He should be able to perform the conversion for you for a very good price.

"P910u" is a nickname given to the firmware images. They are BASED on P910i firmwares. There is no such thing as a "P910u".

NO, BT is not fixed. No secret there. Give it a try if you don't believe me.

Please read the ENTIRE thread before you successfully break your phone. The P910 has a larger PDA flash chip than the P900. You cannot just flash the stock P910 firmware images to a P900. (Check back on page 1 or 2 for that info). The conversion images are BASED on P910 firmwares, but have some portions removed so that they fit into the P900's flash area.

I believe Lead's words were "I don't modify firmware. I just connect the right things together in a right way and modify the CDA so it runs in a smaller flash chip."

Quote:

It is not a question of IMEI or CDA. They are two entirely different phones in SE's eyes, and they sure won't let you convert a T610 to a K700, so why this?

People seem to be having a hard time understanding that you MUST own (or have access to) a $200+ SE service utility (SPECIFICALLY Fighter or UFS/Twister) to perform this conversion. That is the ONLY way. No terminator dongles. No EMMA. No online updates. No special magic over the air firmware upgrades via Bluetooth.

I still get about 20 PM's a day from people asking how to do the conversion themselves for free, or if I can sell them a QWERTY flip for their P900.

PLEASE. READ. THE. THREAD.

It depends on what he said. Bluetooth file transfer, GPRS dial-up, and beaming work fine. Bluetooth headsets, on the other hand, are NOT 100% stable. Some work, some don't. The ones that do work have intermittent problems. Maybe he was saying that BT file transfers work???

"P910u" is just a nickname. If you flash the "P910u" files to your phone, the system information screen says "P910i". The two physical P910 models out are the P910i (World) and P910a (North America).

The P910c is physically identical to the P910i, so I do not consider it to be a different model. It just has a different language pack and dictionary flashed to it.

Bluetooth will never be fully fixed. This is due to the two different BT chipsets between the phones. This is as stable as it's gonna get, and we probably won't see another set of conversion images released for quite some time (maybe never again).

I had a couple of questions regarding the P910 update. Recently, I bought a P900 off of ebay and little did I know, it was flashed with the 910 firmware. I was wondering what is installed with the the firmware. I noticed that I had like four themes and no extra ringtones other than the defaults. Also, when I connect it to a PC, does the sync with the software even though its not a 900 anymore? Any help is appreciated. Thanks

Posted by: zub7

just a few questions for you anlog:

1) knowing that the firmware is a p910a it works on 900/1800/1900 so i presume it works fully in the UK?, right?

2) what is the SE fighter website, because i know of a place where they use fighter but they dont have that specific upgrade firmware version, so i thaught i could download it and then give it to them. So they could finally flash my p900 : (

i must say SE are being real bithes in not even releasing a firmware update for the p900 that allows MS Duo Pro cards

but then again without SE there would'nt even be a p900 or p910.

Version 3 of the sync software will work with the phone. You most likely have the initial release of the conversion images (P910a). Please take a look at the beginning of this thead to see what additions you get.

The initial set of conversion images were based on the P910a. Both those, and the newer set of files that came out (based on P910i) use 900/1800/1900MHz. The phone will continue to operate normally on the original frequencies. 850MHz is not possible with a P900.

The Fighter team does not host firmware images (due to legal issues). They distribute the files to resellers, who then provide them to their customers. Some users happen to host their own public websites with the files. You can begin your search at http://forum.gsmhosting.com.

SE doesn't care about their customers. They like money. That is why the S700 also has the 128MB limitation - this way they can force us to buy the next model up (that happens to support 128MB+ cards) if/when it is released.

Interceptor is the same thing as Fighter, minus the ability to change the IMEI of a phone. The same firmware images work with both programs.

Anlog,
Thanks man for helping out. I've read the whole thread and saw the same screens as the ones on first page. How do I check if it's a newer image? All the serial numbers on the "System Information" screen are the same, it says P910a. I would like to flash my phone to make it more current and to have the better files if I need to. How much do you charge?

The first release of the conversion says "P910a", and the second says "P910i". PM me for pricing.

That is definitely NOT the file. That file is an actual P910a firmware image, and will leave you with a dead P900 (until you reflash it with a full AVR backup, though you might even destroy some hardware calibrations, which will involve more than a standard restore).

The files you are looking for are labeled "P910u" (for upgrade). First, you flash the phone firmware, then the Symbian software, then the CDA (customizations and language pack), and finally the latest P900 Bluetooth firmware (R5D).

You flash the phone the same way you would any other P900. If the guy who owns Fighter is asking others (you) for directions on how to flash a P900, I'd be scared!

I'll PM you more info in a bit...

Hi, I tried to find someone in Germany who would flash my P900 with P910 firmware. One member sent me a contact (Ronny), who did not reply ro my query.

So any one knows a reliable person in Germany who can do the flashing?

TIA

do you guys know where i can find the P910 firmare on the web in order to have my P900 converted?

Posted by: DJKasmic

read the hole thread and you will know, that you can not convert your p900 yourself. you have to use the fighter!!

does anybody now, if there is a version to update the p900 to the p910 in german-language without errors in word and pdf+??

Someone told me, that only the english-versions has no errors (only the bt-problem)

isn´t it possible to install german-language on an english p910-version??

Anyone who owns a copy of Fighter has access to all firmware images, including those for the conversion. All they need to do is go to the support forum for the login information.

Hello,
I have a broken p900 and trying to get it fixed. The screen is broken and not sure what else, it was dropped and got banged up bad. I was wondering if anyone has any info on how I can get this fixed... I heard of certified SE shops but none in my area (Columbus Ohio). If anyone has info or able to do this kinda work, please reply here, email at purin@liverperfect.com, or via phone 614-286-7237.
Thanks a bunch

Have another question about p900/910s... is there an equipment insurance company that will cover pda phones in general? I called LockLine (ATT and cingular uses them for phone insurance) and the process getting the phone fixed/replaced seems very easy but they dont cover pda phones. Funny thing is, is that both ATT and Cingular both offer the insurance plans for PDA phones online for any pda phone they offer. I went through all the checkout processes except paying and it doesnt give an error, IE "insurance not available on pda phone, etc". Does anyone have more detailed/correct info about this? I am planning to get either a 900/910 but want to make sure that the screen will be protected against damages and insurance will take care of it. If they do cover the pda phone, then I might be able to get my broken one fixed/replaced.
Please msg me if anyone knows.
thanks

Me and many other german p900 users would be very happy if lead will release a new version, so that we cann use all programms on the p900 and for me the very important german T9-dictionary!!

Hi there, I stumbled across this great resourceful site and I was wondering if you could point me in the right direction as to where I can get the P910 Firmware so I can flash my P900. Also if you could give me a brief run down as to what I need to assist me in doing this. Cheers!

That's not the firmware to update a p900 to p910. The one to do that is a totally difference firmware. You in Vietnam? I was born there.

ANLOG,

I'm from San Francisco Bay Area (California). I was just wondering if you can upgrade my P900 to P910 and how much you charged for it including shipping, ZIP 94587. If you could, please email me: apex4ag@yahoo.com.

Also, will I still be able to use the bluetooth feature of my P900 after the upgrade. Thanks in advance.

Hi,

I want to flush my P900 to P910. Does anybody know where I can do it in Toronto area?

I'm thinking Pacific Mall but which store.

Thanks,

Posted by: Timsta_P900

Thanks mate, but I am fully aware of the online Sony Ericsson Firmware Update site...but this does not actually do a complete update...there are areas of the phone that this can not change (sorry if that is not accuarate enought.) Basically I am looking for the actual firmare that is used when i.e. Sony Ericsson flashes the phone in the factory or the stuff that repair/service centers use.

If anyone knows where I can get it or can send it to me, I would appreciate it! Send to: mr.tkeegan@gmail.com. All help is very appreciated.

Cheers.

Posted by: DJKasmic

@ timsta_p99: You have to go to a SE Service Center. You cannot perform an update at home, like they do. You have to buy fighter to update your p900 yourself like SE does.

Posted by: anlog

In case anyone is interested, I have several copies of Fighter for sale. They include the smart card (dongle), one USB flashing cable, and access to the support server for flash files, etc.

If you are looking for a great way to make some extra cash (doing P900 conversions, for example), this is it!

The price is $125US each. Shipping is free. Act now, supplies are limited!

Posted by: RedHead

Is there anybody with good credentials in Amsterdam (The Netherlands) to do the conversion?

Or is it possible to flash a P900 from HongKong with a chinese\english version to a full english (or dutch) version?

Analog, do we get a full manual to do the conversion when we order the Fighter?

Chinese P908 handsets (the Chinese version of the P900) are physically identical to the P900, and are just running a different firmware. Flashing one of these models to a P910 is no different than flashing a regular P900.

Just to clarify, I am selling REAL copies of Fighter. There are no clones, and the program has never been cracked. By "copies", I mean individual pieces.

They include the Fighter manual, and I will gladly provide detailed instructions as to how to perform the conversion. I also regularly provide support to all Fighter users on the official forum (not just my own customers).

BTW, only two Fighters are left (5 have sold at this price in the last 24 hours).

I was try upgrade my P900 in P910, but don t go

What s happened?
phone: CXC162022 R3D011
BLUETOOTH: CXC12529 R5D
ORGANISER: CXC 162021 R5B02
CDA: 162003/9 R5A07

I was try to upgrade with 908 Sw, but bluetooth is dead;
I want to try upgrade in 910, but how?
Can I use 512MB stick duo pro with SW 910, or just 256MB???

Posted by: Baseballfanz

^^If you read this threas you will find that bluetooth will not work with firmware upgrade from p900 to p910

Posted by: DJKasmic

@ garfiledg: did you try the update with the online update service???

You have to do the update with SE Fighter and nothing else. I don´t understand why bluetooth doesn´t work now???

If you tried only the online update to update your p908 to a p910, there should be happened nothing, because SE is checking your phones CDA and if it isn´t compatible with the CDA you have choosen online, the update will holt on. And bluetooth shouldn´t be broken.

With p910 you can use memorysticks up to 1GB.

Posted by: garfildg

Thnak s for now! I understand, that bluetooth will not work at P910, but I don t know, where can I download SW P910??? Official Se page don t get support for chanchge phone??? Sorry, may be, I was stupied?????

Posted by: DJKasmic

Please read the whole thread. everything you have to know is written in this thread.

You can´t download and install the firmware by yourself. you have to go to someone with SE Fighter.

Posted by: garfildg

Thank s for answer

Sorry, I didn t read alll thread (verry busy), but I understand now, it won t go with upgrade, but it s problem; I am from SLO and nobody know, how to do it; I was call also official provider, no chanche
