newer bb5 requires phone disassembly to unlock via test point.

i am a newbie for firmware flashing. the question i am going to ask might not related (i suppose yes).

if my phone does not have chinese input (AP set), is that because of the firmware is not local? if i bring to nokia authorized shop to flash, will they accept?

your answer will help me to decide either i will buy an AP or authorized set. btw, i am buying n95 8gb. i would go for authorized set definitely if the price btw ap and auth set is not too big.

Depends on where the AP set comes from. Assume comes from US/Europe, then no chinese input. You can flash it yourself through Nokia Software Updater. Be sure to choose APAC region/China/Taiwan if you want chinese input.

I'm not sure whether local Nokia will help you to flash AP set or not. If yes, I'm sure there are charges involved.

if your phone is an ap and does not have chinese support, Nokia Service Centres have the right not to flash it for you else they would charge a fee to get it done

Is there anyway to flash back my original w880 Acoustics? my firmware R8BA024, cos i accidentely flash the Peter's Acoustics Version 2 in my w880 now regret

i guess you need to reflash your phone unless you have a backup of the acoustics before doing the mod.

how to reflash my phone? cos currently i already using the latest firmware, the update software not allow to update since was updated. Btw i didnt backup any of my original acoustics, what should i do now

YEAh test point is avalable ! haha Tried with Mt box!

i heard people say, if i flash it myself using nokia software updater, it will flash by the serial number which the serial number has info where the set is from.. i.e, if the updater detected that my set is from indonesia, it will flash an indonesia firmware (BM). and it is possible to change the serial number, whether it is legal or not.

edit: so my question is, if my ap set is from indonesia, is it possible to ask nokia authorised shop to flash a APAC firmware for me?

Every Nokia handset is produced with a product code. The product code is a 7 digit number begining with 05 (I.E 0536075). These 7 digits codes are made up of 4 different pieces of information.

The problem exists, that while a phone has a product code stating it is locked to a network, it will only accept that networks firmware. example, My N76 was locked to Vodafone, and while it had its original product code, it would only accept Vodafone firmware. What we intend to do, is change the product code, and trick the phone into thinking it is operator free and unlocked, so the Nokia Software Updater will apply which firmware you like.

you need this 2 Program to change ur Product Code.

Nemesis Service Suite - This is the application that can change your product code.

GSM Magic a.k.a TNT Enforcer - This is a handy little application that allows you to click on greyed out or disabled buttons in any application. For some reason this programme has become known as GSM Magic but is actually called TNT enforcer.

for your question, for sure they wont flash ur phone to APAC firmware. even if they do for u, charges maybe RM30-RM100.

the hardest part is to find the Correct Product Code for the APAC. try search on some search engine.

Merry Christmas

Added on December 23, 2007, 11:36 pmtry use XS++ to flash it back. u should back up the GDFS before flashing any firmware or customize file to ur phone.

the FS and MAIN file, try to search on google. because i dun have w880 FS and MAIN file. i only have K750/W800/K800/K810 if u need it.

by the way, what is peter's acoustics version 2? never heard of that..

peter's acoustics v2 was for those k800 or w series to boost better bass and treble for earphone and loud speaker, under esato forum.

Even for the same model, same region... it may have a few product code for different colour scheme.

meaning that is illegal to change product code? i dun mind paying rm100 to flash as long as i have what i want. but my problem is they ABLE(willing, or they have legal issue?) to change my product code or not? i mean the nokia shop.

ok... tq. but normally i dun like to boost the loud speaker, will easily damage the speaker.

Added on December 24, 2007, 5:59 pmyup. u are correct. finding the product code is the hardest part for me. especially new model.

Added on December 24, 2007, 6:08 pmi think MAYBE is illegal. and will void the warranty (depends on ur ap company). why dun u buy from ur AP company & ask them to Flash it for u. some AP company will do for u. Even some AP company will Flash the chinese firmware for u. but ofcourse their cost is higher abit than normal AP company.

Nokia Shop will not touch ur AP set normally. unless try to use ur PR skill to fren fren with them..

the easiest way, buy a Original set if u have budget.

by the way, what u mean by authorize set? u mean Ori set & AP set? they are different about RM500-600 for N95(8GB) in my price list. maybe i misunderstood ur question.

anyway, Merry Christmas.

i know most of the ap company will flash APAC firmware before they sell, but my concern is i will want to update the firmware. my fren case is, after he flash a newer firmware, become BM already because his set is from indonesia. then he need to change the product code and flash again(himself). i am just thinking is this worth to risk for that rm500~600 (in term of warranty). now i guess i will pick up an AP set. thanks for your help guys.
