[megamaster]

Hi I have read another thread talking about converting 8210 to 8850 and 8890. Is it really possible if so please explain me how to convert it before I do something wrong and broke it.:)

Now I had tried to upgrade it and when I power it on , it work fine. It displayed the operator logo and signal full but when I selected Message Menu a blank screen appear! And it is the same for other menus! I tried to set the FAID or reset the phone but no luck!

Just flash your 8210 Rom 5 with a 8850 or 8890 Full flash!
Do not use 8850 (coz it's just the same with 8210!) it would be better to use 8890 (it has a "send to e-mail" option added)

If your still having trouble flashing it, or it blanks out, try using Knok95, choose 8890 as phone type, then flash the full 8890.fls on your 8210 Rom 5! If an error still exist flash it with a 8890 virgin eeprom, on the location of "003D0000",plug on MBUS, use Noktool by Rolis, change IMEI, FAID, SP, FAID, Turn off, Turn on (No network), Turn off, then Turn On again (Network Ok)
Your 8210 is now 8890!

But does it work with network 1800Mhz and 900Mhz or only in America?

no , it will lose the 1800 Mhz.. you will only have 900Mhz .. because it's different hardware.

so if you change 8210 to 8890 = 900 Mhz only
change 8210 to 8850 = 1800 Mhz & 900 Mhz

Ok I will tried it but I heard that this model is only for America network!
