error in changing from SAP 1.7 to orange 1.6 (help needed)

[Guest obingkong]

dudes, i did these steps to change from Smart1.7 to orange 1.6:

1. install smart and orange to you computer( do not perform an upgrade yet on each installation).

2. copy c:program filesruu_org_uknk.nbf to c:program filesruunk.uk ( notice the file extension and location)

3. open c:program filesruunk.uk in your hex editor and replace "ORG_UK -1.61-4f97bf0" with "SMT_USA -1.70.13-350d044" (with out quotes) and then save it.

4. run the smart 1.7 upgrade from c:program filesruuSmartUpgradeUt.exe until you reach "upgrade version 1.7 to 1.7". rename c:program filesruunk.nbf to c:program filesruunk.smart. rename c:program filesruunk.uk to c:program filesruunk.nbf and then press next. this is to bypass the checksum checking for smart. continue with the upgrade as usual.

5. boot to canary mode(check other posting how to do it)

6. run the orange 1.6 upgrade from c:program filesruu_org_ukCaUpgradeUt.exe.

7. run spvunlock2 to sim unlock you sap.

8. your done.

but i got stuck at step 6. when i ran the 1.6 update, it only says that it cannot read the ROM or it is corrupted and i should download again. but i did and the result is still the same.

my phone does not turn on, but i can turn on to canary mode only. btw, canary version is now 1.10. what should i do?

help??

sir your bootloader is 1.1 meaning you'd been able to do the upgrade but it failed somewhere in the erasing-upgrading protion of the update

there's a thread here on downgrading the orange 1.6 to imate/qtek/eurotel 1.5, i think it's in the device specific threads, search the forum for it

that for me is the answer to your problem since it'll downgrade your bootloader ver from 1.1 to 1.07.04

or you can try doing the following updates orange 1.6, orange 1.50 or sap 1.70, whatever brings your unit back to life

hope this helps
