Type *#06# in standby mode and click "More". There you see which phone model you have, and which FW version you have. In my case it is:
Product: M65 SW-Version: 50
This means I can apply the patches in SandStorm's other thread "M65 FW50 System Patches"?

Yes. But first, we need to put your phone avaiable for patching. I've done my phone avaiable, by downgrading to 25, runins one tool called x65flasher to generate the bootcore password, and the loader that we put on v_klay loaders folder. Then, i upgraded again to 50

Hmm.. so that's why I can't use my phone with V-Klay.. Can you explain more, please? This is interesting!

Yes, of course! I'll explain how I did: 1-> Decreased to FW25 by using one winswup I grabed from [ Landy] Sometimes (well, often) that site don't start the download, we have to insist several times. Btw, on allsiemens.com, siemensmania.cz you also find winswups 2-> You need the original DCA510 cable, or one cable that allow patching. I ordered mine from one spanish webshop called unlockeasy.com 3-> I installed the winswup. 4-> With one tool called X65 flasher, I enabled it for patching. It created the loader (btw, i'll put this online this night, w\ the steps) 5-> With V_Klay (i used version 3.3) opened one vkp file, or in alternative, copied the patch and pasted manually on the V_klay info window. The first time you connect the phone to V_klay, please, allow it to do the FUBU (full backup) of your phone. It can take up to 2h backuping all up. It is very important, because you can save your phone if something go wrong. That saved my skin once.

Thanks for the great step to step info, Sandstorm But I need more help About downloading winswup. There are many files/ file names on Landy. I have Variant A 226. I must download the "M65_250200.zip" to downgrade to FW25. How the file name built up: XXX_YYZZZZ.zip X= phone model Y= FW version Z= Variant (language pack) Correct me if I'm wrong

Thanks again And now: How to use Winswup? Connect the mobile to the PC w\ a cable (DCA-500 or DCA-510), config port and speed, click START? Nothing more?

1-> connect phone to pc. Phone needs to be turned off 2-> config port to your current com that have your cable. Set speed as 115200 baudrate 3-> click ok to return to WS main screen 4-> check both boxes precheck and procheck (make sure you see the "v" inside them) 5-> Click on start, and then, press briefly the red button of your phone (fast pushes without turning on the phone) 6-> If the bars start moving, then, let it proceed! Of course you need the battery charged. I know you are not that newbie When the WS turn light screen, your phone have been upgraded.

nice! It was fast, I was expecting 30 min for your phone. Mine was about 30 min. For SL45i, is only 5 min! x55 series takes around 15min

Hey guys, on the "landy" website there is a FW58 for S65, but no 25. do i use that one, or do i still need to get the FW 25.
Andnewman, you said you didnt have to downgrade your S65, does that mean you just ran the x65 flasher, and then did the v_klay thing.
oh and last of all (actually no, there will be plenty of questions:P:P) when and if i manage to patch my S65, will it patch everything or do i get to choose? Coz somethings i can actually live with.

No. BenQ-Siemens does not support downgrading the phone. But I wish you good luck when your battery is recharged

Post by SandStorm on Jun 26, 2006 11:10:11 GMT
You can only downgrade by using WinSwups. The FWs avaiable at benq-siemens portal can't do it.

(once when I minimized and once when I exited) Have you only tried the winswup program once? Maybe you can try it again? Good luck.
