Hey Rony, We'd love to conduct our experiments on something like 6600 or P900 but as we dont have any sponserer and we also lack experience so I suppose 3310 is ideal to start with. As for downloading ringtones and games through IRDA you can visit many free sites providing images, games and tones etc and upload to your cell via IRDA or bluetooth. For application that shrinks video to fit mobile resolution you can use Nokia PC Suite -> Multi Media Player. Open video file in that software and click on File->Save as and select your preferences rest the software will convert it to 3GP format and your desired resolution. Your suggestion of approaching Chinese or Koreans is considerable but we first need to meet each other (people interested in this project) and discuss the possibilities and we can later move ahead. Regards, Latesh.

Hey Rony, i agree with you man, but lets t= ake this one step at a time. If we can flash a simple Nokia 3310, then obvi= ously Bluetooth, Infrared, etc. will follow. The main idea beh= ind using the Nokia 3310 is that it will be cheaply available as a second h= and phone and also there is maximum tools and info available about this par= ticular model. Once we have achieved our target on this model= , doing it on another model will be simply a matter of porting. = So, lets get this underway and then follow up on ur idea . = Raseel.

Hey guys, check out he tutorials in this link : http://www.nowgsm.com/Flash-cable.htm They say we need on= e parallel port Flasher Cable to update the software and another serial pot= F/MBUS cable to update the FAID (Flash Authority ID) without which the pho= ne is as good as screwed. With the Flasher Cable we uplo= ad two file : the MCU(Master Control Unit) which consists of the actual OS = and I guess is thus the most important file for us, and the PPM(Post Progra= mmable Memory) which consists of all the time-pass stuff like ringtones, me nus, games, etc.These files will also be have to Linux oriented. = The software like Rollis, EEPROM tools for FAID update , KNOCK for backu= p is all there and free. There are sites which have free MCU and PPM files = as well(I have not downloaded anything since they rewuire registration on t= he sites and Im a bit bored now :=)) If we can just get the = Flasher Cable, we are good to go since one of you has the F/MBUS cable righ= t? Im ready to meet for this project though I should warn you = Im the least expereinced of you guys...I'm just too enthu. Im also ready to contribute, if we need to buy stuff like a second-hand 3310 or the F lasher cable. Btw, I might get a working Nokia 3310 ina couple= of days....I'll confirm in a couple of days.

These devices are segmented into sectors. One sector (in some devices) is known as the boot block and requires special instructions to permit reprogramming. The idea is that u should be able to recover from a failed reprogram. There are write protection registers too that determine which blocks can be reprogrammed. And yes i am absolutely sure that those cables are pieces of wire with a max232 (or equiv) ic for fbus / mbus connection to the pc (i made several). since these are the only pins in the 3310 (and from the pics of flash adapters on the links u provided), I am certain. > Anyways I do have > a FBUS / MBUS cable for 3310 (guess 1 of its spring is > damaged and doubt whether it works now and I cant > check as I dont own a 3310 anymore) We also need a flasher box or whatever else is used for flashing so that we can make a linux flasher.
