GUIDE: How to flash M8800 Pixon
 

OK this is the start and l hope that you all will consider and post any newer information.

First thing to always remember, is BACK UP YOUR PHONE, Pictures,wallpapers,music, and any contacts you have saved on your phone. I am not responsible for any damage to you, your phone, computer, or lost of data in this process. This is a guideline intended for professional technicians.
USE AT YOUR OWN RISK!!!
1. USB cable that came with your phone.
2. Samsung PC Studio 3 witch can be found here:
http://www.samsung.com/uk/support/d..._ia_cd=01011800
Install this software first, it contains the drivers for your phone, and has every thing you need for backup.
3. Multiloader v5,50 http://www.4shared.com/file/75565159...ader_V550.html
5. Newest unbrranded firmware http://www.megaupload.com/?d=B5CXDIOZ

-----------------------------Now you are ready to begin-----------------------------------
1. Make sure Samsung PC Studio is installed and communicates with your phone. And unpack the firmware in a folder you can easily find it.
2. Remove the Sim and MicroSD from your phone and replace the battery.
3. With the phone OFF connect the phone and computer with the USB cable.
4. While holding the no. 9 button on the phones key pad, tap the power button, the phone screen will come on black with a red stripe that says "Download" ( For Tocco and Pixon users : Hold down the "Volume -" button on the left side, and the "Camera" button on the right, then press the "Power" button = all three buttons need to be pressed together. Your phone should start up into a red\blue on black bootloader screen.)

5. Now run MultiLoader v5.33
6. Select the radio button that includes MSM6275/MSM6280.

7. Select Boot Change and Full Download.
8. Then click Boot, and select the boot files from the unpacked firmware folder.

9. Click the Amss, Rsrc1, and Rsrc2.
10. Then press the Factory FS tab, and select the appropriate files from the firmware folder also.
11. Select (Low).r2c NOT (Mid).r2c. (Phone may not restart if you select mid)
12. FOTA and ETC fields are left blank.

13. Click the Port Search button, it will find your phone and show the com port is ready.
14.Click the download button and be patient, this will take a few minutes to complete.

15.When it's finished, it will show "ok complete".

16.Unplug the phone from the USB cable, reinstall the sim, MicroSD, and power up the the phone.
17. Now with every thing complete, perform a hard reset by typing *2767*3855# into the hand set.
18. When the phone resets type *#1234# into your handset to check your new firmware ver.

Not yet tested so if any one do this please tell us your results...

BE SURE TO BACK UP all data you may need later!

It's working great and support most EU countries.

today reflashed 5 m8800 tested.

11. Select (Low).r2c NOT (Mid).r2c. (Phone may not restart if you select mid) - because? you know the difference or not?
17. Now with every thing complete, perform a hard reset by typing *2767*3855# into the hand set. - what for?

Is it possible to flash F480 with this firmware? Did anybody try to do this? What's the consequence? "freeze" "dead" or full operating?

NO THE TOCCO HAS DEFERENT FIRMWARE so ther is another theme in this forum with instructions for Tocco, it is no possible to import firmware of Pixon model into Tocco model..


Can any one please post what the improvements are with this newest firmware?'
