I'd not get too excited about it. It's easy enough for someone to say that something's possible. But where's the proof?

While I am sure it has not been done on  phones yet I am sure it could be possible by someone who had the time and energy and knowledge.
I have seen a web site dedicated to this in some older phones from other manufacturers where they even add whole new functions and it has been mentioned here on Esato at least once before (I vaguely recall Cytech mentioning it when this topic came up before)
I'll see if I can find some links.
Needles to say I wouldn't risk it in my phone, which is strange because when I get a new pc with a DVD player or writer the first thing I do is go to an excellent firmware site and download the RPC-1 (multiregion) firmware for the drive.

offtopic:
rpc-1 is where only software controls the region coding of a drive whereas rpc-2 which has been implemented in all drives since 1 jan 2000 has the region controlled in the firmware of the drive. rpc-2 can be overcome by a firmware update or by some clever software
please PM me or continue in the following topic in which I have also have some replies
Region free DVD player on your PC?

Well, a DVD ROM is a lot cheaper than a phone should anything goes wrong 
Of course it is possible to "edit" the firmware. How do you think they create the firmware in the first place? On a computer! But it is extremely difficult to reverse-engineer the firmware into proprietary source code, and then change it. |

well i've seen this done before with the sl45.
they took the firmware, found what everything means (addresses etc) and managed to change practically everything on the phone. by they i'm not sure who but some clever people.
anything that doesn't need extra hardware can be done.
i'm talking upside down screens, inverted screens, making the 1 minute beep during a call beep at 50 seconds so you have time to hang up, multitasking (in mp3 player you can access the main menu).
it's good stuff and if anything goes wrong all you have to do is uplaod the original firmware back onto the phone. it sounds a bit dodgy but it works.

they cracked the firmware of the sony j5 as well. Had a different attenna level and battery meter. Added a new program in the games as well i heard. Did quite a bit of other things to it as well. And all you have to do is reflash your phone if anything went wrong.
