I've been trying for a while now and can't get the download without paying for it.
Any chance it can be mirrored elsewhere?

Are you holding both [volume down] and [home button] simultaneously? You should then only need to click the power button once, whilst the other two buttons are still pressed.

You will then be presented with a screen (cannot remember what it looks like, though you will know what I mean when you see it), and you will need to click [volume up] whilst on this screen.

Odin will then either automatically start, or you will need to click the 'Start' button in Odin.

Try holding down the power button for a bit longer. I usually hold down the volume down button first, then start holding down the home button, followed by the power button. Do not stop holding down all three buttons until you feel the device vibrate and see the different screen come up.

You might need to enable USB debugging. Also ensure that the devices drivers have been installed.

'Settings > Applications > Development > USB debugging'

I have never been a fan of carrier video calling, so don't really know. Did you try using this feature before flashing Team Leader, and did it work?

Just because there is no 'H' logo, this doesn't mean that you aren't getting HSPA+ speeds. I have seen ROMs in the past that do not have the 'H' logo. Have you tried doing a speedtest, to determine whether you are getting the same speeds as before?

Having major issues with downloading the TL 1.3 file off either of the above links.
The filefactory link is always busy and the uploading.com link drops out at 38KB every time. Still cant get TL onto the E120s. Any ideas on other options?

Thanks mate

Something interesting happened the other day.

Since i bought the e120s ive never been able to use Telstra 3G or Next G. Settings/About Phone/Status has always shown Hutchinson 3G ( which is the 2100Mhz band, and this matches the apparent hardware bands the e120s has been shipped with ) or worse. Ive made a number of forum enquiries as to whether there was a way to change the radio channel/modem to get the Telstra 3G UMTS 850 Mhz band but all responses are its hardware locked, not a software workaround.

So the other day I used Anycut and created a few shortcuts to parts of the phone
System selection: showed ability to search for and select networks- Telstra 3G was present, but within a minute of selecting, it reverted back to H3G ( hutchinson again)
Network Settings/3. Channel setting : showed a number of different modems/radios available for channels 10550-10850. My understanding after review of sites is that this channel range is for the Hutchinson 2100Mhz band. So i though this confirmed the hardware locked issue as noted above.

I work in the outer suburbs, approx, 40K out from the city, and have only even been able to achieve "G" reception ( GPRS ) with the e120s. Repeated speed tests with speedtest.net have only ever achieved a pathetic 0.5 mbs download and even worse upload. This day I selected Channel SKT Pref from "Network Settings/3. Channel setting" and after rebooting the phone I immediately go 3G speeds, clocked at 7-8Mbs!! Ive never been able to achieve these speeds even with my last nokia phone with the same sim card. Settings/About phone/Status showed Telstra UMTS . I assume this is the 850Hz?

Later that day at work I tried the KTF Pref channel and same great speeds and same Telstra network Readings. The next day I tested another channel and everything reverted back to the craps speeds noted previously.

So- have I been using the wrong radio/modem all along? What happened here? How did I get access to this UMTS band?

That is very strange, it is my understanding that the E120 S/L/K do not support 3G 850MHz, and that this is a hardware restriction, not a software restriction.

If you had the E120K, then this would make a little more sense, as it is compatible with Telstra's new 4G network, despite not being 850MHz Next G compatible.

Hey guys,
Can anyone give more info about this ROM?
Is it ICS or GNGRBRD?
Does it unlock LTE2600 band of e120s?
And please attach screenshots.
