Cellular Phone Forum / Country Specific / UK Group / April 2005generic flash on Nokia 6630
Hi all Just got (Yesterday) one of these on 3 from CPW and it has the latest firmware (4.03.18 - 04/03/05). However the band selection menu has been disabled and there is only dual mode as an option. If I could get it flashed with a generic firmware would that enable the full menu options.

Nope, and at the moment (and for the foreseeable future) there's no easy way to get it doen. >>> Unlock Your Phone's Potential <<< >>> www.uselessinfo.org.uk <<< >>> www.thephonelocker.co.uk <<< >>> www.gsm-solutions.co.uk <<< >> Hi all >> Just got (Yesterday) one of these on 3 from CPW and it has the latest [quoted text clipped - 5 lines] >Nope, and at the moment (and for the foreseeable future) there's no easy way >to get it doen. do you mean no it doesnt enable that menu or no I can't get it flashed with a generic virsion as I have had three phones flashed with generic firmware by a nokia servcie centre.

No, it doesn't enable the menu as it isn't held in the standard flash area. You can get it flashed both in an official service centre, and at unofficial ones (like us) but an official service centre won't (or shouldn't - some will) flash standard firmware to a branded handset, and neither of us can unlock the phone. The new BB5 Nokia platform is proving to be a real headache, and an unlocking solution looks to be a long way off for the moment. >>> Unlock Your Phone's Potential <<< >>> www.uselessinfo.org.uk <<< >>> www.thephonelocker.co.uk <<< >>> www.gsm-solutions.co.uk <<< >>>> Hi all >>>> Just got (Yesterday) one of these on 3 from CPW and it has the latest [quoted text clipped - 18 lines] >headache, and an unlocking solution looks to be a long way off for the >moment. thats really bad news. after the number of dropped calls today whilst i had a full 3g signal I thought I could use the band menu to solve this problem but it looks like I can't. think it may be going back to CPW but not sure what else to get instead....

Sorry I couldn't help anymore Chris. Unfortunately the new BB5 platform is being used for all new Nokias, so it might be a good idea to start looking at alternate manufacturers until a decent solution is released that can handle them properly. >>> Unlock Your Phone's Potential <<< >>> www.uselessinfo.org.uk <<< >>> www.thephonelocker.co.uk <<< >>> www.gsm-solutions.co.uk <<< >>>> Hi all >>>> Just got (Yesterday) one of these on 3 from CPW and it has the latest [quoted text clipped - 18 lines] >headache, and an unlocking solution looks to be a long way off for the >moment. does that mean that when the phone can be unlocked by '3' after the contract ends the band menu will still be locked? >>>>> Hi all >>>>> Just got (Yesterday) one of these on 3 from CPW and it has the latest [quoted text clipped - 23 lines] > does that mean that when the phone can be unlocked by '3' after the > contract ends the band menu will still be locked? I'm afraid that's exactly what it means. >>> Unlock Your Phone's Potential <<< >>> www.uselessinfo.org.uk <<< >>> www.thephonelocker.co.uk <<< >>> www.gsm-solutions.co.uk <<< >>>>>> Hi all >>>>>> Just got (Yesterday) one of these on 3 from CPW and it has the latest [quoted text clipped - 25 lines] > >I'm afraid that's exactly what it means. well I have sorted the band selection menu and can now select between dual mode - gsm - or wcdma and as for the minimal 3 branding I have got it sorted so it won't be going back after all....

How did you manage to sort the network mode menu Chris? >>> Unlock Your Phone's Potential <<< >>> www.uselessinfo.org.uk <<< >>> www.thephonelocker.co.uk <<< >>> www.gsm-solutions.co.uk <<< >>>>>>>> Hi all >>>>>>>> Just got (Yesterday) one of these on 3 from CPW and it has the [quoted text clipped - 35 lines] > >How did you manage to sort the network mode menu Chris? net monitor or field test as its sometimes called Chris P Bacon >>>>>>>>>Hi all >>>>>>>>>Just got (Yesterday) one of these on 3 from CPW and it has the [quoted text clipped - 39 lines] > > Chris P Bacon yes ok how did you enable that feature please? thanks a. >>>>>>>>>>Hi all >>>>>>>>>>Just got (Yesterday) one of these on 3 from CPW and it has the [quoted text clipped - 43 lines] >thanks >a. seems like I have generated some interest on this one..... When i asked the question on this newsgroup I also asked on the 3g forum and one of the moderators came up trumps with the net monitor and he even has it on his yahoo group for download. I was a bit dubious as I had used net mon before on the older Nokia's but I didnt know it was available fro the series 60 platform. It shows all the usual signal level, channel number etc etc but if you follow the instructions supplied you are presented with a menu ( Force protocol between GSM and WCDMA) that gives you the option of selecting Dual - GSM - WCDMA. The phone does a reboot and after about 30 seconds you are on GSM (2.5G O2) If you then go to the usual network menu (tools - settings - network) you will see that GSM is displayed. Selecting this shows that the usual Dual mode is NOT now selected. You can go back to dual mode by either going thro' net mon again and selecting dual or you can select it in the network menu (this will also reboot the phone). try this link.... http://groups.yahoo.com/group/fox_6630/ Chris P Bacon >>>>>>>>>>>Hi all >>>>>>>>>>>Just got (Yesterday) one of these on 3 from CPW and it has the [quoted text clipped - 68 lines] > > Chris P Bacon thanks VERY MUCH.. will try when my 6630 arrive sometime next week. > When i asked the question on this newsgroup I also asked on the 3g > forum and one of the moderators came up trumps with the net monitor [quoted text clipped - 15 lines] > > http://groups.yahoo.com/group/fox_6630/ Do you mean the file in the file section, OperatorFtdwk39v7.sis?

OperatorFtdwk39v7.sis Allows you to lock to GSM - open program and press up twice, options, execute, press 1 then OK Chris P Bacon >>> http://groups.yahoo.com/group/fox_6630/ >> [quoted text clipped - 8 lines] > Allows you to lock to GSM - open program and press up twice, options, > execute, press 1 then OK Cheers for that. I'll have a look. |
