View Full Version : S56 Flash Patching?

Has anyone with a S56 tried to apply S55 flash patches? I was wondering if this was possible.

I would think that memory locations are probably different, and so it would just screw up the S56.

So, anyone tried, or does anyone think it is possible??

or does anyone think it is possible?? I think it's possible, but only if S56 uses same firmware than S55. Can U upgrade your S56 with S55's fw?

No you can't apply S55 fw to the S56.

They use different hardware for the network

S55: GSM 900/1800/1900
S56: GSM 850/1900

Anyone else know if it's possible to apply S55 patches to the S56?

Pual,
In generla that's not possible. What I would do is get winhex, S55 and S56 FUBUs and compare them to find where to apply patch. It is a mundane job but definetely doable since some folks are adapting patches from other phones to S55 i.e. C or A models.
