bootloader na .whx can not be copied by just copy-and-paste sa SD (actually pwede magawa kaya lang di marecognize ng phone yung file)...kelangan talaga ng Winhex at SD card reader.

pzee, try it. kaya lang if it works, we still need to have a card reader to transfer the .whx http://smartphone.MoDaCo.com/viewtopic.php?t=2628>0.98 to a SD card.  :)
yah kelangan talaga ng card rdr/wrtr para masabi natin na gumana nga cya. so sa mga may balak mag downgrade sa bootloader 0.98 using this method, gez dapat kumpletuhin nyo muna requirements: software and hardware. sori wala pa kong card reader/writer. any idea kung magkano yung ganun?

i think the card reader costs around 1200 up... pero atleast we can have a copy of bootloader 0.98 in our PCs. ;) no need for extra MMC or SD cards.. tama ba yun? :)

Yung bootloader ata comes in .whx format pag nasa PC, parang .iso image. I think ang gagawin ng WinHEX is to wite in a SD Card yung whx image na nasa PC so that marerecognize ito ng device/phone. As mentioned by dinoalbert, di marecognize pag cut-paste lang gagawin. Kelangan dumaan muna sa WinHEX.

Sequence: whx file in PC -> use CloneDisk feature of WinHEX -> WinHEX will encode the image sa SD -> data encoded sa SD yun ang 'bootloader v0.98' na. Pag nakopya na sa SD, pwede mo ng gamitin sa phone (ei to downgrade). Yun ang pagkaka intindi ko sa kanya. Siguro may iba pang way to write a whx file to SD aside from Clone Disk.

Eto yung sinasabi kong "Clone Disk" feature ng WinHEX.

kelangan parin ng extra SD card.

kse doon mo ilagay yung 0.98bootloader .whx file via Winhex program and card reader...pag nakopya na, tanggalin mo card sa reader, then insert mo na sa phone mo...then reboot mo phone, tapos choose mo downgrade bootloader...tapos ok na naging 0.98 na bootloader mo...pwede kana mag-unlock or upgrade rom

tapos tago mo na yung card for future use

:wink:

chibako, tama si dino. kelangan pa rin talaga ng storage card.

BTW yung 0.98 .whx is equivalent to 6.44 MB (6,759,306 bytes).

6-in-1 sd/mmc/flash read/writer cost around P1,500 here in Electroworld SM Cebu. Anyone have an opinion about SD/MMC. Which is better SD or MMC? I'm planning to buy the card kasi... MMC is a bit cheaper than SD.

Anyone who wishes to buy a card reader for unlocking SAP may consider TwinMOS Gogo Egg. This is similar to usb Thumbdrive but the card inside can be upgraded with higher capacity. It is available at computer shops in Gilmore and costs Php1450 for reader with 32 mb MMC and Php1500 for that with 32 mb SD card. You can use the 32 mb card as spare for the bootloader. Note that it only supports MMC and SD cards. Eggs with higher mb cards should be available but I can not find one. Stand alone Egg is also available in SM North Edsa Cyberzone for Php850.

I was able to downgrade, unlock and upgrade my newly acquired SAP with this reader using Winhex, .98 bootloader and instructions emailed by Mar9118. I can also copy .wmv and .mpg files directly to the card without using Activesync and my SAP was able to play them. I guess files that do not need conversion during Activesync transfer can be copied faster this way.

One thing to remember when using the card reader for Sap bootloader, you format the card under Windows and not usbterm.

Dami namang kailangan bago ma-downgrade.. hindi ko na kasi dapat in-install yung SAP150. The i-mate upgrade reviews are really good. SMS now has the option to send to different numbers of the same contact (say, Carphone) plus a working counter aside from speed improvements.

I hope we can arrange a session for peeps to downgrade their SAPs soon. How about it? Wala pa sigurong ganitong service sa Greenhills..

I think that includes downgrade and unlock. I dont know about upgrade kasi ang sabi ko unlock eh then they asked my yung version ng phone ko.

Buti na lang ejoya, member here, was kind enough to unlock and upgrade my phone for free :wink:
