Guest virgil Posted November 21, 2003 Report Share Posted November 21, 2003 Smart Phone w/ new ROM version 1.7.0.13 The latest SMART Amazing Phone software upgrade will provide you with the following benefits: MSN Messenger Fix 20 to 30% Extended battery life Action Engine Software Amazing Explorer - (Smart Online, Establishment Finder, SSS Online) Amazing Store Smart Secure (Check back regularly for more information on these great new features!) Requirements: Windows 98 / 2000 / XPActiveSync 3.6 USB Cable or Cradle Available phone storage: 3MB Power Cable Upgrade Software Winzip Software Backup your device Procedure: Before doing any upgrade on the phone, Make sure that you have a backup of your personal phone information such as Contacts, Calendars, Messages, Tasks, etc. Backup can either be done via ActiveSync or by using the Action Backup utility on the phone. This ROM upgrade should be done only on phones that have a current software version of 1.6.0.08 or lower. To check the version, Click Programs / Settings / About to see which ROM update is currently installed in your handset. Download the upgrade software and save the file on your computer in your preferred location. Click Here to download the software. Make sure that your SMART Amazing Phone is turned on and properly connected to the USB cable or cradle. Your USB cable or cradle should be properly connected to your PC. The Power cable should be connected properly to your USB cradle or cable and plugged in to a power source. Be sure to synchronize your SMART Amazing Phone with your PC via ActiveSync before performing the installation. Please take note that this software upgrade will erase phone entries such as contacts, messages, calendar entries, tasks and previously installed programs on the phone even without the hard reset - so don't forget your backup. Unzip the upgrade software in the preferred folder on your PC and double click the executable file (.exe). Follow the instruction within the program to guide you through this process. Disregard any instructions on the phone, such as, "Press any key to enter boot loader". Let the application go through the process in upgrading your phone. This upgrade process should take roughly 20 minutes. Once you are done with the upgrade, remove the battery, afterwards replace the battery and perform a Hard reset on the phone. Hard resetting your phone will remove all separately installed third-party applications and phone info such as contacts, messages, calendar entries, etc. This is done to ensure configurations on the new ROM will properly be put into place. A hard reset will also help eliminate unused data, which may be inhibiting the performance of your Phone. Hard reset steps: Press and hold record button then press power button until "press any key to enter bootloader" appears, then press and hold Action key about two seconds to enter Erase IPSM screen. Select or press "8" to Erase IPSM. After IPSM erase is finished, you will see "passed" message appears. Remove battery, wait for 30 seconds before re-attaching it. Your phone has now been reset. Turn on the phone. Initial boot of the phone will take slightly longer than usual. Auto configuration will take place upon entering windows, let it complete then press Ok to restart the phone. The phone will boot normally, Check if your phone was upgraded to a higher version, click Programs / Settings / About. Your phone should have the Radio Version 1.31.20, ROM version 1.7.0.13 Restore your personal phone information on the newly upgraded handset from your backup files. For ActiveSync simply synchronize your phone with your PC. For Action Backup, Use the new Smart Secure utility to restore all your info back to your phone. Congratulations you are done!

Guest xtinc Posted November 21, 2003 Report Share Posted November 21, 2003 A ROM 1.7, SMART is really fast. Orange, QTek and others were not able to release their 1.6 versions yet. I wonder what fix/improvements SMART did for this ROM. Is this the answer to MAR's method? :lol: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest sweetyls Posted November 21, 2003 Report Share Posted November 21, 2003 aren't the features the same as with rom 1.6? @virgil OT: i'm applying sa smart. hope i get the job :lol: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest dinoalbert Posted November 21, 2003 Report Share Posted November 21, 2003 reading virgil's first post, I dont see anything NEW with this ROM (?) Sana kase meron din sila ng feature like the Qtek....storing ringtones in SD card, deleting messages without using SMS Tool, smileys, etc etc :lol: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest mlkanapi Posted November 21, 2003 Report Share Posted November 21, 2003 @ all, Here are some screenshots of the appearance of the new sap 1.7 ROM as I tried to install it. Maybe I should try to install this in the Canary screen. Don't get me wrong. I'm perfectly happy with my unlocked SAP running I-Mate 1.5. Just trying to see what this new thing is about... @ mar9118, Kamusta? I hope you are doing well. Best Regards!ss1.jpgss2.jpg Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest mlkanapi Posted November 22, 2003 Report Share Posted November 22, 2003 Here's what Smartphone France has to say about this version of Smart's ROM: For the do-it-yourselfers here very interesting information. Version 1.7.0.13 of the system Smartphone 2002 is available on the site Smart Amazing Phone . Considering the side effects of the last versions of this distributor of Smartphones, I do not advise you too much to try this update... which however tries me well. On the other hand if you are a do-it-yourselfer born and that that tries you, do not hesitate to make it to give your impressions to us:) To thus hold to the very informed users having a ' full backup' on chart SD because it is a very risky operation for your SPV! As one says to test with your risks and dangers... especially when it is known that a version 1.6.x should leave in little time at Orange.

Guest mar9118 Posted November 22, 2003 Report Share Posted November 22, 2003 I have gone thru the ROM image and it seems to still have the same 1.09 bootloader and 0.97 diagnostic menu of the 1.6.0.08 update, I still have to try the upgrade and see if they have added features that i-mate and Qtek has and other improvements, considering they have the highest ROM version mahiya naman sila kung locking your phone is again their main objective, as I have said before if this is really an improve ROM, I will not complain or do anything to help people get rid of it :lol: Cheers!

Guest dinoalbert Posted November 22, 2003 Report Share Posted November 22, 2003 I agree, mar.....dapat nga yung 1.6 rom pa lang nila mahiya na sila doon eh :lol: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest mariolouis Posted November 22, 2003 Report Share Posted November 22, 2003 @mlkanapi sa tingin ko dapat magsimula ka sa mga maSPAMbang smart roms muna tas upgrade mo sa 1.7. di yata pwede yung i-mate/qtek tas diretso sa smart 1.5/1.6/1.7.. i've read it here somewhere.

Guest Chito Posted November 22, 2003 Report Share Posted November 22, 2003 check ko yung file size nya sa win????? pareho din nung dati. Kaya kaya i-downgrade to using the 1.06 style? Wait nalang muna ako sa reviews kung ok. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
