(Click here to view the original thread with full colors/images)


Posted by: Rhyu

Heya guys, new to the forums and I would be very appriciative if anyone could help me with a problem I am having. I was wondering if anyone knew of a way to flash the V3C version 4 firmware to version 2 so i can activate the OBEX transfer protocol. If it is not needed to flash back I would like that to, since flashing back would void my insurance =P. Thanks
Rhyu

**REMEMBER, THIS COULD RUIN YOUR PHONE. PERFORM THIS MODDIFICATION AT YOUR OWN RISK**

If you do mess up your phone, you should be able to fix it if you follow the correct posts.

Follow this:
Code:
Note: MultFlashFlex is a copyrighted program distributed with PST. If your key is malfunctioning, you might receive an error message. If this is the case, you should be able to obtain a patch at the same location from where you obtained PST. * Extract the firmware to a directory on your computer. * Open Windows Explorer and browse to the c:\Program Files\Motorola\PST directory. * In that directory, locate the executable MultiFlashFlex.exe and open it. * In the window that appears, in the lower portion you should see your phone listed and a Connected verifying that the application can communicate with your phone. If it does not, troubleshoot the PST application further. * In the top box Flash File Name – click on the browse button and locate the Alltel flash file you extracted from the downloaded archive file. * Then click Start. The flashing will begin. You may also get a message that says "Unknown Super File Version. Do You Really want to flash the Devices?" Just hit ok. * In the beginning of flashing, computer might ask you for flashing interface driver, direct to where you downloaded and unzipped the V3C PST drivers * If using flash file and you do not flash successfully the first time try a second time, that should correct any problems. * When the status lists Successful let the phone restart and wait until it has fully restarted and you see the normal screens – this may take 2-3 minutes.

Get the Verizon v3c .02 firmware from HERE

That information was taken from the wiki. I just subbed all instances of the Alltel firmware with the one that you're using. Just remember, a little searching never hurt anyone.

All what Liderc, except...

Instead of flashing .02 then upgrading to .04...

Just get the Verizon GATW_X_01.0F.04P from http://www.humpa.com/vzw or http://ryfiles.com/flash As it is the same .04 you'd get in the store PLUS it gives you Bluetooth OBEX File Transfers no matter what firmware you had before!!!

One flash, then done.

@Rhyu - I would follow Mark's suggestion. The steps are the same, you would just be using a different firmware file.

@Mark_Venture - I would have suggested that; however, I was still under the impression that GATW_X_01.0F.04P didn't inherently contain the OBEX profile. Thanks for the update.

Yeah, it does get confusing... because there are "two" differernt GATW_X_01.0F.04P 's... so...

Have a verizon store flash you to .04... you may or may not have BT OBEX FT's... (depends on if store flashes your phone with .03 first or not, and its a pretty good bet they WILL flash .03 before putting .04 on!!!)...

flash at home with that leaked copy.. you WILL DEFINATELY have BT OBEX FT's no matter what...
