>hello i can not flash my phone.it gives me report : Cannot connect to phone with bootstraploader ... any ideas ?


Windows XP?
I was getting crazy trying to do this in XP (Celeron 1700). Then I tried on another machine with Win98 (Celeron 433) and it worked PERFECTLY!

Good luck...
 
There is No Java for S45i ....

The "i" goes for improved , and only you get e-mail extra from S45.
I think this has been answered many times ....

(Only you can see a 'javadumm' (dummy) module in Net Monitor, as the S/ME45 did. Just left for future upgrades that never did ... ).
 
This isn't working for me yet...

Did all the steps and after this loaded S45i activator. First it worked, phone started and I could access the phone in S45i V4. Without any warning the phone swiched off in the menu and after that it said wrong software. I tried to fix it with S45i activator but that didn't work. I flashed it with my backup of FW30 and after that performed the same steps to upgrade to S45i. Only get a low beep or no sound at all now. All patches are displaying GOOD. Tried to unlock after patching, no result. Did the above steps now for over 4 times and can't get it working... What am I doing wrong
 
This is how I upgraded from ME45 to S45i (ME45 FW26 original CE20 chipset). Most elements are from yul and Safrane but I've added some steps

1. Backup contacts/agenda to Outlook with SiemensQuickSync
2. Backup Explorer maps with Data Exchage Software
3. Make full backup of phone (S/ME45Tools) so you can recover if something goes wrong
4. Remove SIM (don't know if this is necessary)
5. Flash phone with winswup S45i v04.......
6. Depending what kind of model you have S45 or ME45 take corresponding file:
for S45 http://www.o45m.ru/program/290000x050000_s.zip
for ME45 http://www.o45m.ru/program/290000x050000_m.zip
7. Take S/ME45Tools and flash this file at address: 290000 and size: 050000
8. In S/ME45Tools go to IMEI, read phone first and press UNLOCK
9. Remove battery for some seconds (don't know if this is necessary)
10. Run S45i Activator, READ PATCHES and check out which phone values are BAD (right window). Mark in left boxes those values which are BAD. Don't uncheck other marks accept unmark S45 patch (alt) and/or ME45 patch (alt) and mark S,ME45 patch (that's also described in the right window). You can also uncheck Airplane warning if you want. Press WRITE PATCHES.
11. Remove battery for some seconds (don't know if this is necessary)
12. Start and shut down phone (don't know if this is necessary)
13. Insert SIM and start phone
14. Format flexmem in phonesetting or with Data Exchange Software
15. Download and install XTND Connect from Siemens
16. In XTND Connect settings, remove all connections between fields Outlook and phone. Set right fields Outlook/phone (address to home address/last name to last name/...) and synchronise
17. Put back your bitmaps/ringtones/voicememo's/...

Voila you have a great working S45i with all your ME45 settings

WARNING: I did everything on speed 57600 instead of standard 115200

In this topic you can read where to download the software (Divane )
 
I think you screwed up your eeprom. You should upload a backup (if you have made it), or simply wait for someone to send it to us, cos i desperately need one too

REQUEST: Can anyone send me s45(i) EEPROM??
Please..it's urgent!
Mail it to me at [email protected]
TIA
-V-

P.S. I know that my problem is EEPROM, cos i used Nutzo's tool for .map creatin and it reported invalid eeprom blocks. Try it.

snarf did your phone had no image after flashing with de new flash ?
Because i have a phone like yours and my works but has no image , i've gone to my operator to see if the problem was from the contrast but they said the phone had to go to Siemens for repair
Sorry for my English
 
I still have problems to make my me45 a s45i. Also with your files Divane. I think it's because of the sim from T-Mobile. The new sims give some errors on the x45 siemens series. After upgrading and starting phone (loging onto network), I get an error simreading fault (also on me45 but it doesn't harm my phone). After the error the phone (s45i firm) gives a low beep and shuts down. I can start it again, but after the error phone shuts down every time... S45i Activator displayes all patches GOOD.

I've spoken to T-Mobile and they know about the error. They say Siemens has made a mistake in the fw from the x45 series I found out that the error is in the setting for SMS (setting text and delay time)...

So I flashed my phone to original me45 with fw30 for now (backup )
I hope somebody will find a solutions for this problem..
 
ktosk,

Thanks for the help... but that problem is solved... not so simple as you say:

- Full Backup didn't work

- Flashed with one flash for CE20... still dead, then flash with one EEPROM for other Me45 V28 CE20...
Get Wrong Software... SME45Tools did the rest ;P


But... what I realy want from the begining is to put my Me45 V30 (now it is) CE30... INTO ME45i !!!


Please Help !!!

Best Regards,
Leitao

I don't know. Maybe it has something to do with S45i Activator settings... Or the combination with XP. I had problems with upgrading while I was logged on to a NT domain... Strange, but after not logging on in Windows 98 my problems were gone In the past I had problems with the screen too. Phone is working ok, but no display. This also has something to do with settings and is no hardware problem. If you've made a backup and put it back, it must be ok again.

Before I got S45i, I had to upgrade/downgrade several times...

Try upgrading exactly like me on a Windows 98 machine. It must work for you too.
