Flashing/Flexing v500 to v600? - GSM-Forum

snowweasel · 02-16-2004, 23:43

Could anyone tell me (or direct me to) some clear directions for flashing/flexing a v500 to a v600? I've searched the forum, and everyone talks about doing it, but I can't find any directions (at least in English) other than on MOTclub, and they say you end up with a vodafone locked phone using their directions, which I do not want, as I have an unlocked v500.

I don't actually have the phone or cable with me just yet, but should be getting them within the week, I'm just trying to figure out how to do this, step by step, before then. I have PST 6.7 and TRIPLETS_G_0B.09.1DR yada yada .shx file, then yes, I have it too (from v525.com, I also downloaded the .rar files from MOTclub, but apparently need a password to compile them...not sure, as the program I'm using is in spanish too) What I'm looking for is step by step directions, as I did for the Siemens S40 (http://forum.gsmhosting.com/vbb/showthread.php?t=95501) Is it as simple as running the program and flashing the firmware? the directions I found on MOTclub that had been translated made it sound quite difficult to do (having to copy and rename files at certain times to trick the phone into uploading the V600 firmware, plus it said it would be locked) I'm willing to do this, I just want to know what method most people used (especially the one's who have succesfully done this and ended up with an unlocked phone). Thanks

I just downloaded the old flash v500-v600... flashed and flexed... then this new firmware came around, and I just flashed the software on the phone... did nothing other than that... and the thing works great.

Once you turn network search to slow... I've honestly found that the phone seems to have even better battery life than the v400 stock.
