Only with Prodigy I could flash ADSP on N-Gage, no way with Griffin, maybe there is a trick !

It is possible to flash ADSP with Griffin,I have done 3 3300 until now without any problem.
About N-Gage... have no phone to try!

Ok, so after having read these forums I need to ask you by what cable are you flashing ADSP? Someone told me that it has to be done by the DKU-2 cable and griffin box? Or is it possible to do it with the regular cables for the phones?

Regards, Niclas

Akoska · 03-28-2004, 19:49

For 3300 you need both regular cable AND DKU2
For N-GAGE both regular and USB cable (DKE2)

Well, I wonder how you still can use your phone, because after bad ADSP flashing, phone should be in "Contact Retailer". Maybe Griffin didn't erased ADSP, but now not compatible with new version. Anyway, one week ago I repaired one N-Gage phucked up with Griffin, it went in contact retailer, I read it with Phoenix, it was failed at "ADSP selftest", only with Prodigy I could repair it

**Brka** · 03-29-2004, 12:19

looks like only FPS-8 can save it ... and prodigy of course ...

for 3300 ... no problem ... adsp visibility to system
is not the same as for n-gage as i remember
so it can be flashed with griffin without problem

but for n-gage ...

problem is that
ADSP device is visible for system
only while MCU erasing and writing is in progress
Prodigy box works like this :
- start MCU erasing
- paralell with MCU erasing ADSP flash is sent to phone via usb cable
- MCU is flashed
and afterall ... phone works

grifin doesnt work that way
after flashing mcu and ppm
it try to initialize ADSP but too late
'cause ADSP is not visible to system anymore
so it cant be flashed ...

try to upgrade some lower version of n-gage and you'll see
no more MP3 and mo more USB connection to pc

and phone works ... because ADSP content is intact
but it's not compatible anymore ... or it is being initialized
and not flashed ... so ... no mp3 and usb ...

i'm still waitin' for update

that worked before ... for file transfer etc.

and is working ok ...

Akoska · 03-29-2004, 20:16

Even 1.0.615 of Prodigy (clone too) can flash ADSP on N-GAGE, tested many times.
No need for big investments

The Racer · 03-31-2004, 15:26

Same problem with 3300. What can we do with griffin at this point?

**Brka** · 03-31-2004, 22:20

... we're waiting for THE GREAT support and SUPER FAST griffin team response
and even more faster UPDATE ...

just check the date on griffin forum
when I posted my problem ...
still not even one single response from
any of griffin team members ...
oh yes ... I even sent email to Raskal ..
but seems like he's too busy selling
motorola unlocking solutions
which will be free in a week ...

whatever ..
everything is about money ...
who cares 'bout support ...

U r right Alexandar, but talking about money if GT want to be nr 1 must remember that is easy to destroy & hard to build REPUTACION.

**Brka** · 04-01-2004, 16:56

... i also read another post of some guy
saying that he did flashing of his buddy's n-gage
but I doubt that ... i tried on 6 different pc's ... no way
why ... i wrote ... because it try to flash it at the end
and at that point .. no adsp visible to system.

shame ... really shame
