Hi every1,
got a few questions here about flashing... first of all, I'm a total n00b to this :) so please don't flame too much if I ask st00pid n00b questions okay? thanks! ;)

now, I have a Dejan Flasher Cable (at least that's what it's name is, it is a LPT-Cable with adapters for most Nokias incl. 33xx which I intend for using with my 5510) and an F&M-Bus Cable for 33xx. My phone currently has Software v3.42 and I would like to upgrade that to v3.53. I found some flash files already, but I'm getting quite confused with all those PPM/PMM/MCU/Language files around on the net. I guess I'll just list what I have here:
- 5510 v3.53 MCU + PPM flash file ~3.31 MB [3.473.408 Bytes]
- 5510 v3.53 Repair flash file ~2.56 MB [2.686.976 Bytes]
- 5510 v3.53 MCU flash file (for Wintesla[?]) ~2.30 MB [2.417.759 Bytes]
- a bunch of language files from "A" to "N" and "P" (no "O" tho... funny) each ~768 KB [787.296 Bytes]

now... what am I supposed to do with all these things?! I read a few guides in German and English, but they didn't mention language files or something like that... I'm really confused at the moment, so if anyone could point me to a good (= easy to understand) guide, that would be verrrrry appreciated! And one last thing: the guy on this page (http://www.kolumbus.fi/taneli.suikkanen/nokia5510.html) mentions that there are problems when connecting a 33xx MBus-cable to your 5510 and that you should cover one of the pins on the 5510, will I have to do this? Note that I have an F&MBus-cable and no "pure" MBus-cable and I haven't read anywhere else about doing this. I guess that's all for now, and already thanks for any replies and any help!!!!


Greetz,

just flash with MCU ~2.56M + correct language pack (PPM) which has your language, eg. PPM pack B has finnish, so i use it.

yes, 5510 hangs when using fbus-cable. that is normal. nothing to worry.
why should you use your phone when uploading some cool graphics? i don't have reason.

for your f/mbus-cable, i hope that it works fine when updating faid (needs mbus). if not, then put tape over fbus rx & tx pins.

thanks!!!! :) that really helped me out!
now the stupid german mail should deliver me this cable soon or I'm gonna go crazyyyy...

anyway, I got one more question left: where or how can I find out which languages are in each language pack?

thanks in advance for any reply!

oi sinister frog :D
nice to see another "1337-h4x0r-d00d" here ;)
but I just can't get this damn language to work :( I tried exporting english with PPM Manager and replacing everything with the 1337-text and then trying to import it again with PPM Manager but it just won't work, just showing some garbled shit on the phone :confused:

oh well... gotta keep on tryin' :)
