i also need to get rid of operator logo. i am getting Rogers ATT as teh orignal file was of rogers. I need something else.

Just erase the switchon.bin within the operator animation folder, it gives a siemens default startup after. Also erase the switchoff.bin to erase the rogers.com spam on switchoff

one more thing9hopefulyy last question) which folder you save the ringtones. do i need to delete some old files so i can fit in new ones( if theyy are big in size0

You might want to save the ringtones in the folder that is called 'Ringing tone'... just a thought

So far I havnt needed to erase anything to fit some ringtones, so just try it out, and if you need to erase stuff, erase the crappy tones provided already :P

Is there any way i can update the languages options in this C56(conveted) i tired updated through a file i got from siemens website for C55 it had options of extra languages( other than spanish) but when i installed the software andtried updating it , i got the errror worng firmware. what does that mean.

The crappy tones (ie. ones not labelled with .si3 or .mid) can't be erased. If you browse your phone via your computer, you won't see these factory tones in the Ringing Tone directory. Too bad... because some of them are just plain stupid, like the dophin and the horse.

Can't send attachments via PM, can we?
If you're interested, please PM your e-mail address to me. The files are 4kb each, so don't worry about the lack of space.

Please read earlier posts in this very thread about how C56 can't be converted to C55 and vice versa! 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!

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 ?????

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 )

I think the "revolution" Sting was talking about was that you put C55 firmware on a C56... but obviously you had the wrong firmware error.

You then probably reloaded it with C56 firmware and it's humming along, thus your phone's not toasted!

With so many replies to this thread, one really doesn't have much time to sift through it all... so, no hard feelings indeed!

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!

I dont have the GPRS option. Porb. with the GAIT service GPRS is not an option. I am just getting its signals but not using it. I believe if i put in ATTWS sim it might actaully use GPRS and will be able tosee the option as well.

Anyways it was fun upgrading the phone. I wish i had more phone at my dispoal so i can change them as well.

I did thought that you DID upgrade the firmware =(((((So was I wrong???? anyways congrads.

for the pople who still wants to convert the A56 to C56 i found th following link. It is not the procedure we (anyone using the instructions in this thread) have used . But it is in plain english and looks pretty simple.
A55 to C55

Also i found the link with a C56 firmware. Any PRO here can you tell if this is the new firmware or the one we have already used earlier.

I'd love to convert my A56 to C55/56 but I wouldn't know how to begin (especially since I've had a bad experience with a non-working aftermarket data cable for an old Nokia 5190).

Rather than revert to eBay, does anyone in the Richmond Hill/Markham area who has successfully converted their phone want to convert my phone for $10 or 15? If my phone fries I won't be upset with you...please e-mail me if this is possible.

Question: Will converting the phone change the network frequencies from 850/1900 to something else?

Thanks for reading...
