i have a 'dead phone'; can someone help me please. I flashed my k608i with firmware files from pappfer (before he removed them btw) to get rid of the 3 branding and the fact that my t-mobile sim didnt work properly cause of 3g. the flashing process went to the end but didnt complete properly!!
i thought of using flashing it again with working files but when I did this message appeared:

----------------------------------------------------------------------

I'm in exactly the same situation as you.

I've tried davinci, I've tried TMS, nothing will complete the phone, I've reflashed it with cid49 files, still no go.

update:

usbsmart 7.7 does not want to know.

usbsmart 6.8 did though, set baudrate to 460800 because cid 49 is more easily bypassed at that rate, flashed with k600i r2t firmware and completed phone.

all fixed.

What do the phones say when you turn them on? You could prob. get 3 to reflash if it doesn't - if your going to be using t-mobile sim why not try find the t-mobile k608i files - yes they do sell the supposed '3' version! sorry cant help with the flashing side - but am good with theory - well i think!

they dont turn on after you've ruined them with the files from pappfer.hu.

glad you fixed your phone - and opened it to its full potential - i just dont want the problem that i won't be able to get it fixed if the joystick goes on the warranty if I've flashed my v600i with k600i f/w - but cool! - wish it came with it on anyway

Bought usbsmart and cruiser 4-in-1 cables for £50 from a well known site

Logged into support, downloaded key files, re unlocked k608 and flashed r2t to it.

hey

are you using the cracked version of setool2? as whenever I try to do what you say I still get the same message:

Open COM port OK
ChipID:7100,EMP protocol:0301
PHONE IS BROWN
FLASH CID detected:36
Speed:115200
err: 45

Any ideas what I should do?

Cheers

Used UFSx HWK official to change the Red CID 36 to Red CID 37

Used Setool2 to change the Red CID 37 to Red CID 49

Used usbsmart 6.8 to flash the k608i to r2t002, but then it became a k600i

Used usbsmart 8.2 to change the phone model from k600i to k608i

Phone now debranded and works on 3 services with no problems

u cant do nethin wit the K608i on the cracked setool2 as that version didnt support that phone!!! as always...

BUY THE ORIGINAL PRODUCT AN YOU WILL CONTINUE TO GET TOP CLASS SUPPORT FROM THE MAKERS AND HELPERS! USE A CRACKED OR STOLEN VERSION AND YOU GET DEAD PHONES COZ THERE IS NO SUPPORT FOR U! AND THE SOFTWARE WONT BE UPDATED!

Sinple as that!

you can do loads of things with the cracked version of setool2 and a k608i

you can:

change the cid to cid49 red
unlock the phone and change the cid back to red

only thing you cant do is flash it with the flash files currently available for free.

official usbsmart is far easier and safer to use than any cracked or official version of setool2, which is expensive and a waste of time and money.
