SGH-T809 to SGH-D820 Flash Made Simple! I'm Here To Help!
Here's the deal, I took some time out of my day yesterday to heed the crys for help that I have been hearing from so many these last few weeks. I have received many pm's and noticed that a lot of people just don't want to put the effort into figuring this stuff out on their own. So, luckily enough for them, I am here to help.
Now, all you need to flash your SGH-T809 to the SGH-D820 firmware is the flash cable from phantomgsm on ebay, or to make your own. And to download the .iso file I created.
Once you have these two things, you can either mount the .iso file using a program like daemon tools http://daemon.alphabravo.org/daemon403-x86.exe or you can burn it to a cd.
Once the cd is mounted or burned, it will autoplay and a batch file will walk you through the process of flashing your phone. If it does not autorun, just open the disc in my computer and select open "run.bat"
If you guys have any problems, post them here. Also, let me know what you think!
Also note once you flash your phone you will need to re-enter the tzones and mms settings found here.
