Bmt_HR · 08-06-2007, 20:15

Please SC team, give us (users of Scard) solution how to flash F3 with SCout software. I flashed before lot's of F3 with Smartmoto, but now with SCout software I can't do this! Why?

Motofone F3 flashing procedure

Connect SCout dongle to PC USB port.
Launch SCout software.
Connect the phone/phones* to PC USB port using data cable.
Press Poll serial ports for ODM. Software should detect the handset/handsets, providing the following information:
- Model
- IMEI
- User code
- Security code
- Operation band
- Firmware
- Flex version
- Language pack
Press "Browse" to locate a required flash file.
Select the handset/handsets from "Connected phones" list.
Press "Flash selected phone" (if you are working with a single handset), or "Flash all phones" (in case of working with several items).
Disconnect the handset as soon as the process is finished.
New firmware is installed into the phone.

*SCout functionality allows flashing of up to 16 P2K based handsets simultaneously.
Additional buttons

Poll serial ports for ODM – this function establishes communication with the handset (Motofone F3), connected via cable with virtual COM port emulator.

Refresh phone list – updates the information about all past and current phone connections.

Try to flash another flash file from support and see what happens.

Kvas · 08-21-2007, 16:34

I tried 4 different files now but with every one the same error...

So, cable I use emulates COM port, right? Is it important which COM port will it be? I tried on 13 and 2 - same effact... :/
