Member: 84124 Status: Offline Thanks Meter: 0 | How to flash Sharp GX15(Vodafone Firmware) [Looking for non-vodafone firmware!] I have been searching the net for info on how to remove Vodafone menus and stuff out of this phone. There are restrictions on file sizes and the whole software is crapped up with Vodafone's logos and settings. It's quite annoying if the owner of this phone is not a Vodafone user. The origin of this problem is due to phone being branded by Vodafone, thus this phone comes with Vodafone's crappy firmware. The best way to get rid of this problem is by flashing the phone's firmware. The only problem is that it is difficult to find (if there are any) a non-Vodafone firmware file for the GX15. So far I have flashed this phone with the following 3 firmwares: -A02-007-0185-GX15.MOT -A02-007-0186-GX15.MOT -A24-007-0213-GX15U.MOT ALL OF THESE 3 ARE VODAFONE FIRMWARES! (doh'!) There is another firmware (A07-007-0156-GX15.MOT) which I haven't tested yet. This is because I couldn't load it using the Sharp GX15 Upgrading Tool. Probabbly it needs to be loaded by another flash loader. Anyone has another flash loader for GX15 specifically for this file please post a simple link. To flash it, the following things are needed: -The GX15 Upgrading Tool (Can be downloaded from here) -USB Data Cable with charging function (Can be bought from here) -A .MOT Firmware File -And the servicing manual for instructions if needed How it is done? -Install The GX15 Upgrading Tool Software and the GX15 Upgrading Tool USB Driver for the USB data cable. -Switch off phone, remove battery and SIM Card -Connect it via USB -Run The Upgrading Tool and choose the location of the .MOT firmware file -Tick the Port used by the system for USB. Tick Program Download and File System Initialize. -Click Start Loading Flash For other technical info you may have a look at the Sharp GX15 Servicing Manual NOW... Anyone who finds flash files for this mobile other than the 4 mentioned above please contribute to this forum. Thanks. -= gociii =- |

Member: 84124 Status: Offline Thanks Meter: 0 | I am downloading another flash file: A02-007-0230-GX15.MOT which is taking bloody ages... Will put it on my website as soon as I get all of it... Hopefully this would be a Christmas present from Santa if it's a non-vodafone firmware. *fingers crossed* |
