Upgrading & Downgrading Nokia Dct-3 Firmware
In order to upgrade (or downgrade) your phone's software, you will need:
- a flasher cable,
- flashing software,
- an MBUS cable and
- FAID (Flash Authority Identification Data) calculation software.
You will also need matching MCU and PPM flash files for the software
version you intend to install. These can be hard to find, but are available
for free from the internet. It is best to combine the two flashes into a single
flash file, which should be slightly smaller than the full size of the flash,
so as not to erase EEPROM data.
MCU (Master Control Unit) - contains main operating software
PPM (Post Programmable Memory) - contains languages, dictionaries,
menus, ringtones, etc.
EEPROM (Electronically Erasable and Programmable Read Only Memory) -
contains phone specific information
Recommended software - The following instructions are provided for upgrading using Rolis Flasher and EEPROM Tools.
