Hard reset - (full memory reset to the initial settings, all information from the main memory is erased): Press the soft keys and press reset (the cover must first be removed), hold the soft keys until the text appears. Press the green button and it's done.
-
Bootloader - (boot area with primary drivers to start the device): at the same time, hold down the (Camera) key and press the stylus on (Reset), hold this combination for a couple of seconds. After that, without releasing the buttons, we remove the stylus from the rezet and wait until multicolored stripes appear on the screen.
- This is what the name of the official firmware file looks like: RUU_Pharos_DOPODASIA_WWE_1.11.707.1_4.1.13.59_03.15.90_BLUE_Ship.exe (the first part of the digits is the firmware version, the second part is the protocol version, the third is the radio module version), enough to start the firmware just run when connected via USB to a PC device. After the firmware number is a letter (B, R, G) or a word denoting the color gamut of the firmware, respectively Blue, Red or Green. Attention! The RUU designation does not mean the Russian affiliation of the firmware, Russian firmware in the name - RUS, and English - WWE.
-
Unlock SPL - It is usually based on the original SPL and usually includes these patches:
1. Do not check Model ID
2. Does not verify signatures *
(*) the code must be correctly signed, i.e. contain correctly formatted signatures in their places. However, no verification is taking place in this regard.
This means that you can flash your PDA with any firmware, after you complete the SPL unlock.
-
RomUpdateUtility (RUU) - directly the flasher itself, which also starts from a PC (used when flashing unofficial firmware or radio).
-
PagePool - the memory area allocated from the operational and used by the system for caching information (in standard firmware PP = 8mb). When it decreases, the speed decreases, and the RAM increases.
-
Extended rom - the main memory area allocated for storage in the firmware and automatic installation (after XP) of additional software, for example SettingWisard and VoiceComander and operator programs (as a rule, its size is about 10mb). But when it is removed from the firmware, much more is freed. the memory occupied by these installed applications is still freed.
-
Radio - The software part of the firmware responsible for the operation of GSM networks. Comes with official firmware. It can be updated separately from the main firmware.
