Okay, just receive a friend's A56 now and have the 2nd attempt...so far so good.

[deanjen]

you know...i'm beginning to think that maybe there is something else wrong...

unlocking is okay with this new phone. Flashing is about 20%, then the port "closed"...some erasing errors.

attempt to try flashing again, no avail...and now the phone can't be turned on at all.

Honestly, can anybody help me restore those 2 phones? I'm willing to mail them to you and pay some bucks for those.

[mosquito_R]

Hmmmm... sounds rather curious... the phone just poops out at 20%? Probably some other sort of software error...

I'm willing to help if you wanna mail your phones to Canada. Just PM me and we can sort out the details if you're interested.

cheers,

Hello, everyone. I am new to HowardForums. I have been browsing this thread for a while. Wanting to do the update for my phone. I think I have the basic idea on how to update the phone. I would just like some EXACT instructions that I need to follow. Some instructions don’t mention the 5 blocks to copy and some don’t mention about the backing up of the A56 firmware. Can someone email me the *COMPLETE* instructions step by step on how to do it. I don't want to mess up. I have a serial cable for my phone. Also, I saw another thread about some resistor for the battery blowing up and then it can't detect the battery as charged anymore. Is this true? And how many people have had this problem? I only have this phone to use. Please email the complete info at riazg(at)hotmail(dot)com

Thanks.

I have seen a new A56i. Has anyone on converted one?

[Riazg]

looks like no one is going to help me out with this huh?

[mosquito_R]

Riazg: Please see your e-mail.
purplebooks: The A56i has all of the C56's functionality. You don't need the conversion.

I just got an A56 and i'd like to convert it to C56 but i need some help. I tried to download the rar file from allsiemens.com but the link doesn't work (and i have no idea of russian) so i'd appreciate if someone can mail me (knaexer@hotmail.com ; knaexer@netscape.net ; novalis@eu××××××××.com) all the stuff necesary to do the conversion (preferably with very clear and precise instruction to do it, you know, i dont wanna fry the phone that of soon).

Besides this I'd like to know what cable to buy (the serial or the USB) and how could i get the drivers.

Thanx beforehand

Hello everybody. I have just bought an A56 and surfing around I ended up here.

I want to convert my phone but have some questions about it.
1º HOW? can anyone tell me step by step how to do it please?? including what to download
2º HOW TO MAKE THE CONNECTION CABLE I'm in Argentina and I can't buy a connection cable. I want to make it.
3º LANGUAGE. I need to write SMS in Spanish with T9. Does the C56 soft available have this feature??
4º CAN I GO BACK from C56 to A56 in case something goes wrong?
5º WILL IT WORK THE SAME WITH MY PHONE COMPANY?
I’ll really appreciate your help.
THANK YOU

[mosquito_R]

Get the USB cable. Do a SEARCH on this forum regarding M55 data cable and you'll see a whole load of info, esp regarding where to get drivers. Generally speaking the USB works like a charm. For the driver, you can also go to www.prolific.com.tw and get the PL-2303 "USB bridge" driver installer (or something like that).

Hey, you don't need to start a new thread to ask these same questions, it's just a waste of space for the forum.

Anyway...
1. Most of the info could be found in previous replies in this thread. Yes, it's a drag to read, but go through it slowly and your questions will be answered.
2. Please search for M55 data cable thread or something like that; it's been mentioned before. How come you can't buy a connection cable? How about eBay?
3. No worries about T9 Espanol. It's part of the FW.
4. Yes, the conversion is reversible. Just flash with A56 FW.
5. Yes... as long as the phone is unlocked.

Hope this helps!

Thanks for answering my questions. Now I'm sure I want to do the conversion.

It's pointless buying de data cable from here. It cost more buying the data cable in e-Bay (exchange, shiping and taxes) that buying a new c56 in Argentina (made in Argentina or Brazil). That is why I want to make one myself.


I'm still hoping someone can provide me the step-by-step proceadure (i just have to be SURE I won't fry my a56). Please send me an e-mail to mgil@iee.uns.edu.ar

Thanks
THANK AGAIN MOSQUITO!

[mosquito_R]

Kael,

Tried to send you an e-mail but the message bounced. There are other phone forums elsewhere online (don't remember the name) that's in Spanish and deals with Siemens phones. If I remember correctly there was something mentioned there about building data cables. Perhaps some Spanish/South American HoFo members could step in and help?

In the very early pages in this thread there were also bits of translated material.

It really sucks that the exchange rate is not working in your favour...
