If I have a flash file (fls) of a phone, how do I know for example what version is it? And if I have a complete flash file, can I know for example IMEI?
I tried to open a flash file with Nokia DCT3 flasher by Rolis, there's the open option, but it doesn't give those information!
What program should I use??
Thanks!

huhhh :???:


@Mr. Wolf
to know a version of a flash file you can use a hexeditor program and go to the addresses indicated in tables available elsewhere. or you can use a flash editor to see it displayed automatically ;) (although some models don't work)

to know the IMEI you must (once again) check the locations of the data. make a search as there are several posts/threads mentioning location of TEXT/PLAIN IMEI and xored IMEI

Hi,

Mr. Macg meanth try nFree.exe, which indeed did show it. ;)

Anyway, these imei addresses are hardcoded, to be sure U'll have to follow the calling functions that would lead U to the correct location.

But U could also just ask me.

In all dct3 types, imei plain is at Epr Start + 0x0026 + 0x000C

The imei security (xor 65 one) can differ, in most types like 82xx/ 33xx it is at Epr Start + 0x0026 + 0x013C.

But eg for 2100 it's at Epr Start + 0x0026 + 0x015C.

All values are in Hex, and the Epr Start can differ per type or backup flash, but should be 003D.0000 or 003E.0000 in most cases.

If desired, I can post whole 2 'security eeprom' zones mappings.

Tiny remarker, for the real technicians/ modders:

The security eeprom is NOT 8 bytes long, it is 16 bytes long and includes portions of eg production date & repair counters too.

Thanks!

It's not very practical with an hex editor indeed!

Mestrini, can you tell me the name of a flash editor?

Searching with Google, I find pages related to Nokia Free!

All right, NFREE works well!
