Can you summarise the client used in your page? Maybe we will find something new...


most of them are using 6.52 (either from LVWireless, Unlocking, or Unlocking's Thai Server).

Hey guys, just an update:

AT&T T68i: orig. R3B fw, orig. R6A hrdwr. rev.

flashed to: EU R5D007

Results: All systems GO!!!
-Just sent vcard to pc..
-Just sent 6 theme files from PC to phone...
-Used PC and SE DialUp Networking to connect to Cingular GPRS network (although still can't load any sites..another thread maybe..)

Conclusion:(?): Should only recommend users to flash only R6B T68i's to R5D or later..still skeptical on R5C...



Great another statistic..

All the R6A's I've seen flashed to R5D007 worked..

AT&T R6B's on the other hand had some BT failure when flashed to R5D007..
(Me Personally, and VirtualDynamix have had a couple with bt failure)

AT&T R6B's flashed -> AT&T R5C001 (FW Source was R6B hardware) works fine though as a few of us who tried it reports that it does indeed work (Allen7, Me) and BT is operational.

AT&T R6A -> AT&T R5C001 (FW Source was R6B hardware) seems to end up with BLUETOOTH failure..

The big question is will we ever find a fix for those bluetooth's who are not discoverable anymore? I'm beginning to doubt it....

Hmmm, "R6D" is the hardware REV right? (first time I heard about an R6D).

The software is "R3A???"

Is this a non-branded T68i? You tested bluetooth right?

I just updated my T68m with firmware R5D007. I used the Thai client software and all is fine. My standby time bounces from 230 and 250, with 5h 32m of talk time.

I don't have any BT stuff to tryout, but as far as the other functions of the phone, all is working just fine.

I restored all of my setting using the phone backup software. (Wap, phonebook, calendar, tasks, bookmark, etc.)

I am more than pleased with my upgrade.

Carrier: T-Mobile
T68m / R2B023 firmware / R4C HW Rev---> T68i / R5D007 EU

av0135,

Thanks for the kind words! And yes, you did pay us later on that same evening (never had a doubt). I think you should use firmware flash R5D007 in phones with hardware revision R6A. Phones with hardware revision R6B seem to have failed BT functions when flashed to R5D007.

R6A ==> R5D007 = Good!
R6B ==> R5C001 = Good!

That's all I have for you right now. I seem to hear that different hardware revisions of T68m phones working with R5D007, but we had a bunch of phone calls stating BT failures on various T68m phones. Good luck is all I can say. I recommend that those without hardware revision R6A go the way of EMMA2.

BTW, has anyone used sevenfire's KILLAVR file after you've killed your phone? Any results? I get this question all the time..

Our MSN Messenger email id is: gsm@virtualdynamix.com

Thanks again Alain!

I finally found a T68i software (after flashing like 10 times argh) that will give me the normal standby time of around 250 hours! (instead of the dreaded 50 hours) All the other firmware files failed (even the single file ones)

The ONLY firmware to work properly with my R4A hardware T68m, 02W25 is the R2E006 version. All the other ones failed to give me the normal standby time.

it is available here:

i hope this saves some people headaches.

thejason,

Do you think that perhaps phones with broken BT can be flashed with R2E006 to regain normal settings?

I'm not trying to answer for him or anything but I think its a possiblity. But there must be a special firmware for certain hardware ver. Otherwise unless its a bug in the logger it should work fine.
