View Full Version : From SME45 to S45i. New method! ALL phones. NO bugs at all!
So... I won't write a lot of unuseful info... ;-) The main you must know: there's now a new patch without any problems. Forget my old method - it was terrible and foollish. ;-) Here you are new bytes for fix in S45i_v04:
Disable for the first CRC check
298AE2: DA CC
298AE3: CD 00
298AE4: DC CC
298AE5: 59 00
Disable for the second CRC check
2DB73A: 2D 0D
Upgrade S/ME45 -> S45i:
2CB102: 3D 0D
NetMonitor
2A9156: 2D 0D
Open-BfB (for use of SensorTool):
2963CA: 20 0A
--------------------------------------
The new method has the following advantages:
1) Only 1 byte for all (s45 or me45) phones. ;-)
2) Works for ALL phones.
3) There's NO problems with temperature.
4) There's NO problems with entering ServiceMode.
5) The phone will be less buggy. ;-)
So. Use it at your own risk... The patched parts of fullflash are on my YahooGroup:

It's very old and wellknown problem. ;-) The solution for now (not the best but working) is the following: just replace 68 block of EELITE in your phone by the one from S45i EELITE. Use i.e. my Siemens EEPROM tool. The right block is on my YahooGroup.

@Skylord
Thanks for your efforts :).
I have tried the past methods and they simply didn't work for me, so now I'm going to try again, but I have one question:
Do I flash the phone (s45) with ff040315-S45i.bin and then flash the patch (000000 - 050000) and finally change IMEI?
Thanks m8
Michael.

@Skylord
Could you put the instruction how to flash ME45 to S45i (previous solution doesn't work for me - after flashing always 'beep' and no more...). Please help !

@juchasek
1) make a backup of your original flash
2) Use winsup to upgrade your mobile form ME45 to S45i checking both skip. And start upgrade
3) Now your mobile doesn't switch on, it's right. Upload with UniSiemens (or SM45Tools) your .bin
4) Modify this .bin like the first post of this topic
5) Download the new .bin
6) Unlock your mobile
7) Have fun! :)
Only 45 minutes to do it! :)
@Skylord:
Why I cannot use GPRS with IrDA?

It doesn't work with my ME45 v30 !! Why ?
I did:
1. Flashing with v04 S45i WinSWUP. OK.
2. Uploading S45i-040315-290000-2DFFFF-all_fixed.bin into the phone (using S45/Me45 Tools). OK.
3. Unlocking with S45/Me45 Tools and Maxim Direct Unlocker (with Dongle). OK.
4. And finally... Stupid "BEEEEEEEP" from the phone :( WRONG :(.
What should I do ? Who knows ?

@Skylord
What do you think about my problem ? Why does my phone not work after flashing ? What's wrong ?
@ntc_silver
I don't think so it will be working...

@Skylord
did i understand right?
after flashing with S45i_v04 Winswup i must change only
2CB102: 3D 0D
correct?

@skylord
thank you for the new method.... however sadly this method still doesn't work on the asian version of ME45 (3168) the problem is still like the old upgrade methods.. the phone starts until it logs onto the network where it will give a beep sound and switch off...
demo mode without the sim card works well.
any remedies?
Skylord I love your work. :)

Now it's really working !! :) Thanx to ntc_silver & Skylord. You are great !
@Skylord: In my opinion it's necessarily to modify flashes separately - not upload your modified bin. Only by this way I made my ME45 (S45i) work.
BTW: What is the "Measure Texts" option in Developer Menu ?
and here ... S/ME45 to S45i type CE/BA20
- flash firmware S45i v04 WINSWUP to ur fone
- grab flashes address 2C0000x010000 and 2D0000x010000 from de fone
- then mod with hex editor like these:
flash 2C0000x010000:
00B102h: 3D to 0D
flash 2D0000x010000:
005A20h: 3D to CC
005A20h: 0A to 00
005A2Eh: 3D to CC
005A2Fh: 03 to 00
00B73Ah: 2D to 0D
- load both flashes, then unlock ur fone
:: thx to RPN for ur briliant thinks
Yes, it works!!! :) :) :)
And it's so easy.
Good work, Skylord.
Now I'm going to get new S45i housing - Titan Silver

hi kotsk... i'm using an ME45i (v04 on ME45) , What's with the CE/BA20? just curious...
thanks
:: thx to RPN for ur briliant thinks
CE/BA20 --> the flash type used in the fone.
umh ... another way ... simply like diz: flash with fw S45i v04 (winswup), download flash 290000x050000, then mod with a hexeditor ...
0063CAh: 20 - 0A
019156h: 2D - 0D
03B102h: 3D - 0D
045A20h: 3D - CC
045A21h: 0A - 00
045A2Eh: 3D - CC
045A2Fh: 03 - 00
04B73Ah: 2D - 0D
save, then upload into ur fone. then unlock :)

The Siemens Data Suite (SDS) can not access any SMS messages when this patch is applied.
Any fixes, Skylord?
BTW, I still can't use the Sensor Tool with this patch.
Does this new way of updating has problems with shuting down the phone when it falls bellow 0 degrees of Celsius?
So i don`t know which method is the best ;/ But my ME45 (S45i) works good :) I have done it using solution on http://techtronic.pl/users/majonez/
It`s in Polish.
Ok I just updated my phone using SkyFire's method and now it is working fine. I can even check my e-mail..Yeah!
We'll see about low temperatures.
I have a problem with this patch. The Phone is turning off at some capacities of the battery.
Error Code it generates is
Nr: 9186
PSW : 08
PID: 68
Any Ideas?
