Its not that hard or reckless. I used to flash/proghram new bin files and SW files to DTV acess cards. Its about the same thing. I just don't feel the need to do this for a phone. For free tv now thats something else. Although I dont do that either anymore for myself.

things to add:
[upgrade possiblility]
T68i->T68i tested

[Disadvantages]
If you use the "flash language" option to flash the 10MB file, you may have "a chance" to have four locks locked, especially in to case of flashing to T68ie from T68i or T68m

[Things you need]
-flash file
R5C provided by Funks, thank him.

Waikincheng:
Your file name T68ie... will mix Chinese from China. Because your file is for Traditional Chinese and that should be T68i. T68ie is only for Simplified Chinese. If Chinese users download your file will screw up his T68ie.

Just remind.

I think in the instructions you forgot to mention that the phone should be unlocked before the flash. At least thats what I have read in these forums.
