EF81 FW58 Upgrade, when things got wrong. (how to

[SandStorm]

Did you upgraded your EF81 and all got screwed up?
You don't have network, cannot make phone calls... Do not worry, we'll help you sorting out your problem.
When you install the upgrade, on the 3GSwupFU folder from EF81's FW58 upgrade, you only have those files:


3GSwupFU2.exe
msvcr71.dll
NPRG6250SEC.HEX
partition.mbn
python24.dll


Right?

Then, you need to add the [template_EF81.brt] file to your 3GSwupFU folder.

You did it?

Good. Now, we shall proceed with the upgrade.

Is there necessary to modifife original cable ? Because, i can't connect my BenQ although i've install driver correctly. Thanks

[SandStorm]

you just need one dca-140 original cable.
ef81 upgrades usually come with drivers.
is your cable one dca-140?

[gnetworks]

will check it. i use cable that included in package when bought. i'm not sure if my cable broken so, i buy new original one from friend, but still can't connect.

The phone is hanging at startup... driver correctly installed.

confused ;;;;;

[SandStorm]

launch the phone updater.
anyway, remember, drivers only work for 32bit windows

Ok, done! now my friend bring benq S81 after she knows i can update my EF81,...

Is there any program and firmware for S81 and Cable.... ?

[SandStorm]
