i have downloaded it again from other filehost and still the same result. Yeah u right i just can see one file.
Is it ok if i use older flashtools? Because i accidently downloaded 0.2.4 flashtool before, and it showed all necessarry files. Just 0.2.9.1 beta gives that missing files error.

No luck man.Im getting tired of this phone.
I have tried 0.2.9.1 and 0.2.9.0 flash tools. Fresh downloads. both just showed one file(simlock.ta).

Flashtool 0.2.4 shows all files correcty. But doesnt recognize my phone.
And i have tried to download firmware 2 times.

ALL the links contain a file that is 271 MB large, not 277+ MB.

the file size is correct in the links, i was talking about because sometimes when you download a file, the whole file doesnt get downloaded which is why he keeps getting errors when hes trying to flash the firmware

Sorry, I meant to reply to kiz1983, who said that the file size should be 277+

timroth · May 24, 2011

File size is correct. As i said i have downloaded 2 copies of firmware hf and mega
and 2 copies of flashtool.
And i know firmware file is ok because 0.2.4 version on flashtool shows all files in firmware.

Isn't there other way to flash the rom than using Flashtool. i don't get it to work tried on 2 pc's.it doesn't find the phone in fastboot. when i use fastboot from cmd i can see the device.

It's not a driver issue, i tried two versions of flash tool. i never used flash tool. Isn't there something to flash with Mac or Linux?

i am not very sure but i think u can flash using fastboot:

fastboot system system.sin

or rename system.sin to system.img and try flashing via fastboot

for kernel:

fastboot boot kernel.sin

or rename kernel.sin to boot.img and try flashing via fastboot

hi commodoor, don't know if this one will help on your case. If the problem you encountered is that your phone cannot be detected on flashtool even you plugged it already, you may try installing again the usb driver for flashtool(included inside the flashtool folder).
i myself had a hard time today flashing the new .145 hongkong rom(.ftf file). had never used flashtool before (same as you).
At first, in flashtool it cannot detect my phone, then after sometime I realized I haven't installed the USB driver for flashtool(it's ggsetup-2.2.0.10.exe located at "drivers" folder of the flashtool's main folder). After I did that, my phone was detected and I was able to flashed my current .181 global ROM to .145 hongkong ROM with no problem.
And then I do fastboot of the hongkong .145 img file to become root again.

Use sin2img then flash using fastboot

commodoor · May 24, 2011

Thnx guys for the reply's gonna try it. First i will try updating the USB drivers if it doesn't work i will try the fastboot to update.

just one question @DooMLoRD, If i use fastboot to update the rom how about the radio?
