How to...?? - All About F-L-A-S-H

[matt_016]

OK guys, I really hope U guys can help me.

My questions are all about FLASHING, how 2 flash a phone, saving flash file from my current phone, editing flash file and???.

I owned an upgraded Nokia 3310 (3310 > 3315) and have my phone flashed at a shop. It cost me a lot!!!!

After that flashing, my phone looks cool but there are some more features that can be added 2 my current flash file (like some of the questions I gonna 2 ask U)

4 your information, I?ve a Mbus data cable via com port and my current SW is V06.08 NHM-5

OK, first of all, how I?m gonna 2 save my current phone flash file 2 my PC?

Now, editing a flash file. So, how to?..

a) Change battery and signal bar graphic and change its position, from vertical > horizontal and horizontal > vertical.
b) Add/edit startup and shutdown tone, keypad lock tone, charging tone?
c) Change SMS alert tone to longer and enhanced
d) Add more SMS alert tone (if possible)
e) Edit/change prefixed SMS alert tone (Standard, Special, Ascending)
f) Add more ringtones (Ex: 65 tones and 20 ?empty? tones)
g) Edit SMS sending and receive animation, keylock animation, unlock animation, battery-charging animation, loading animation, etc.
h) Make blinking message and line feed characters.
i) Make fading backlight? What is this anyway?
j) Make messages menu password protect? Can I make 4 other menus too??
k) Add/Make slide show. What is this feature anyway??? Sounds cooooll!!!

OK, now, some about menu editing.

a) Can I add a new menu??
b) Can I copy a submenu from other menu into this menu? Ex: I want 2 copy ?Write messages? in Messages into this new menu so I can have ?Write messages? in both menu??
c) If can, how about rename the ?Write messages? in this new menu? Ex: ?Write messages? to ?Write SMS?
d) How 2 create a new animation for this new menu??
e) Can I re-arrange the menus??

I?m looking forward for some good tutorials!!!!

** If there is any advices or tips, please share with me!!!!

OK, now flashing my phone. What software/tool that I need to flash my 3310? I NEED A FULL STEP BY STEP TUTORIAL and with screen shots (if possible)
I really need help!!!!!

Have any good tutorials, please post here or send it to me, [email protected]

Regards.

Hi,

Amazing.

U seem to know even more options available then me.

U made quite a good job on finding out all that stuff.

By mistake, U forgot to read the replies too, while collecting all this info?

Ok, I'll start with this one:

>> 4 your information, I?ve a Mbus data cable via com port and my current SW is V06.08 NHM-5

Now, go find Urself a lpt port flasher cable too.

U will need that for most of these questions.

Gives us some more time to think about if or how to reply to the other questions.

And start with a clean flash file, since the 6.08 is not a legal version I think?

Otherwise, definately buy Urself such a cable.

Do it for Us then, while we just recently met the newest 5.87 version.

Good Luck

NokDoc

Yope, I'm still lookin 4 a flasher cable....quite hard 2 find it here!! Hope fully, I can have one by end of this month.

So, NokDoc, can U tell me what really is the SW version? What do U mean by 6.08 is not a legal ver? As far as I know, the latest "illegal" ver. is 9.XX. So then, I have a ver. higher than 5.87, is that mean I have a better flash file? So, can I change this ver. Ex: 5.87 > 9.87??

OK, some more question, I love the look of my current phone(the flash file) So, when start with a clean flash file, can I copy the text/animation/tones into the new flash file?? I really love the current text!!!

And some more,
How 2 change the "MENU" text in the main menu 2 other word?
How to add/change text in a flash file???

And can U list up ALL the tools that are use in modding flash file??

A lot more Q? 2 come!!! Hope U guys don't mind!!!

Thanks man 4 your offer....I live in Penang, Malaysia. I can't say that there is NO flasher cable in Malaysia, but just the shop don't wanna 2 sell it, they keep it 4 their own good!!!!

Still waiting 4 answers...................

[NokDoc]

Hi,

>> I NEED A FULL STEP BY STEP TUTORIAL

Sorry, U will not get this from me.

Since all can be found quite easily Urself on this forum.

The other reason is, I hardly use those tools myself.

Rolis to flash.
kNok to Unlock or Set Faid. (needed after flashing new files)
g3n0Lite for recalcing/ disabling checksums after changing files.
PpmEdit or PpmMaker for those ppm text changing.
kXplorer for tones.
Graphics with HexGraph or FlsEdit.
Menu structures with g3n0lite of Joox, or by G3gg0.
Besides the many patcher tools available for many other purposes.

Make a good backup of the whole phone first. (mcu & ppm & eeprom)

Then U can test on whatever versions U like.

Good Luck
