I will try that. I need to get a pair of older FW/EEPROM files for a T28W. Any versions that you suggest ? Also, I noticed that XP has all sorts of problems with GSM software. I am now using a Win98 SE machine to do the updates.

The IMEI number that I have in the phone right now is not the same that is printed on the original box from Vstream. It somehow changed. On my Vstream box I have a IMEI number that starts with 5202xxxxxxx (15 digits long). I understand that it should be 14 digits long. Drop the last digit ? Is the IMEI number portable from a phone model to the next ? I have a couple of original Vstream phones (Ericsson, Motorola). Are the IMEI numbers portable between these phones ? Let me know. I want to get a better understanding of how this process works. Thanks.
