Hi

I'm searching for flash.exe 0.02 for flashing my mpx300.

I have tried the 0.03, but my mpx300 comes with an earlier ROM, so I need the 0.02 (like the flashing-manual said). Flashing with 0.03 hungs up the phone after the status bar after reboot the phone. (only one (1) black status bar is shown on the screen, gone to 100%, but the phone don't start, and the ROM is the old one after this)

ROM Date: Apr 3 2004
ROM Version: 0.23C23C.0409
OS Version: 4.21.1088 (Build 14049)

Can someone tell me where I can get the 0.02, please ?

bye
Olaf

hi, i am about to get a 'demo' version of the mpx. it may have this rom, i'll check. BTW does your mpx have a program called something like 'video record' or similar nam,e?

Hi !

(Sorry about my english, it is not my primary language and was also not my best working in school. But I will give/try my best here now

The phone crashed down by the last try to flash the ROM yesterday. It does not boot/start anymore, so I'm not able to look after the file you asked, I'm sorry.
But I know that there was no button/symbol for the camera before this accident.

At the moment I'm trying to flash it again. I marked only the button for the OS-upgrade in the flash.exe 0.03.
Is this ok (to mark only the OS-upgrade^^) or is that impossible without upgrading the bootloader ?

The flashing process is now in action since last night, ...for about 14 (!) hours, it is going very, very slowly, and I don't know if it is really working, because the status bar on the phone looks like 100% since 13 1/2 hour, only the status bar and the file-names (..., PICTURE~1.bin, PHONE.bin, ...) in the flash-software are running, very slowly, too.
As an example: it takes 1 1/2 hours for the file PICTUR~1.bin. I think it's PICTURES96.bin, 363 kB. In this case the flashing will take more than 90 hours = 4 days, because the hole OS-files are ~ 30 MB. I'm thinking about stop that in a few hours.

In the case the flashing crashed again, I will try to flash the phone with using a SD-card.

I hope I can get my phone run again with newer ROM. It's a very interesting phone, but
- it crashed/freezed many times a day.
- I'm not able to shut off the phone. Only take off the battery is a "solution", ... with all data reset.
- the battery works only a half day / 10-12 hours.
- the little case-display is lighting, but does not work really

hi the flash process really shouldnt take that long! mine only takes a matter of minutes!

now flashing takes only a few minutes,
(see my description at http://www.howardforums.com/showthre...32#post8870832)

but after reboot the eboot/OS a.o. are the old ones. Everything in the flashing process lokks fine, but then the phone reboots again, and again, and again...

Nobody can send me the flash.exe 0.02 ?

bye
