Ok the patches no are compatibles but where i can find patches for the C56?

Hi!

What about A50? Can I convert it to something better?

The A50 can be converted to C45!!

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.

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

Oh really?!?! COOL! 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...

And I suppose a reflash with the original C56 fw should get rid of the EEPROM hacking, right?!

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

As per the conversion instructions, I've only saved my .eep files with the 5 blocks of EEPROM required for the conversion. So, I think I'll need to do a full reflash, then modify with my original 5 blocks.

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...

So, with the dual-band selection, does it actually show up in a menu? I've never seen it on my phone!

As for the aerocheck, how does it show up on the phone?

Sorry, I suppose these are newbie-ish questions.

dualband selection i'm not sure if that is an actual option, but it doesn't show up in the menus

aerocheck is that confirmation thingy at the beginning regardless of profile.. although the C56 by default has an aerocheck profile

I tried the A56>C56 conversion.

I think I screwed up something and I don't know what. The boots up but it is EXTREMELY slow. The graphics render very slowly and the menus move in the same way. I've been through the forum posts and haven't seen anyone mention this kind of problem.

It reads my phone book and it seems like the C56 firmware worked. However, I can not connect to any phone network. The phone seaches for a network but it doesnt find anything.

I -because i'm stupid- didn't make a backup of the A56 before I started.

Can anyone provide the original firmware/eeprom/etc of the A56 so I can revert the phone back to a A56?

Thanks a lot.

Arrggg ... utter noob here. I think I have the same problem as the person above. I could use some help. My phone won't boot now. The lights just turn on but don't do jack. . 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 !!!!).

[Rebel_lord]

umm nvm if I use Siemens EEPROM tool 2.21, it goes into service mode ... so I guess I just need the siemens firmware

note: The Firmware for an A56 ... pm me if anything

I had the same problem when I f'd up the first time. It would light up and make a low buzzing tone and then turn off.

After searching through a bunch of Russain and Spanish (thank God for babblefish) I've figured out what I did wrong. However, I still have no way of fixing it.

What needed to happen was:
EEPROM - Save A56 EEPROM
Feria - Save A56 Battery State
Feria - Flash C56 Firmware
EEPROM - Apply A56 saved firmware
Feria - Appy Saved A56 Battery state
JavaEnabler - Apply to "new" phone.

I missed the first step. Didn't backup sh*t.

I fixed the low buzzing noise by applying the C56 firmware AND the C56 EEPROM that came in the A56>C56 file I downloaded.

Although that got the phone to bootup, it has the problem I discribed above: Very slow menus and animations and refusal to connect to any network.

So, agian, if anyone can hook up the EEPROM for the A56 I could go about fixing my phone. My only other option is to find another A56 and make copies of the EEPROM and stuff. I'm working on it, so if it works out, i'll share my saved files. I'll post if I find an A56.
