Hi there

Either:

1. Try another USB Port or another computer.
2. Make sure PC Studio is not running or any files related to it.
3. Make sure you try flashing after an reboot of your computer.
4. Never run any programs at the same time

if problems still occur open up task manager (Right Click Taskbar and go to Start Task Manager, go to processes, and end the process called NPSAgent.exe)

Hope this helps you

Thanks,

Hi,

Flashed my phone with F480XXHD9 and it all went well.

Just before, my phone was SGH-F480V and now it's just SGH-F480? No noticeable difference, just wondering what the difference is between the two.

Also, which is the hugo boss edition? Phone was originally Vodafone with F480BUHG3.

apart from the obvious which is branding, V stands for vodafone firmware, nothing else

there are fw versions look on the forum for descripion of each software the letter code hides language groups, usually phone has about 7-12 different languages pre set, enough to choose

For anyone else who had similar probs if you go back to WestHej's screengrab
I had to check to box which said Full Download and then press the Boot button and browse to the boot files which came along with the bin files as part of the firmware.
I then followed the instructions as per WestHej.

That was close there thought I'd bricked my new phone.

Thanks to all who tried to help.
PS. That was my first attempt at flashing - good to know people out there are willing to help.

Hey I done this but now, its saying amss error, anyone help?

hi, does anyone know if the F480XEID1 FW has the Portuguese language option?
cheers

[cowboybebopuk]

Flashed to F480XEID1 works perfect, i rang orange to ask them how much the weather widget cost.... after the guy didnt know what i was talking about he decided to give me 2.5 meg per month free, because he said it was his fault he didnt understand my question, which wasnt bad to be honest

Whats the lastest Chinese version? and does it include all the widgets as F480XEID1 version?

Any help please ?

[cowboybebopuk]

Couldnt edit my last post to add this to it ....

i finally found what i think is the latest chinese FW (F488ZHIC1)

going to try this 1 very soon and see what happens... fingers crossed
