Third time lucky
On my first attempt I was a bit too quick to assume the quick access patch was done and didn't wait on the "elapsed X seconds" mesage in status bar. In fact I didn't even wait on the blocks being added I just unplugged the cable when I saw the "SSW uploading finished" message. Which resulted in a bootloader failed to respond message when I tried to flash the generated patch. Phone still switched on though.
On my second attempt I couldn't suss how to choose CDA in SETool2lite so that resulted in the original custom pack not being configured for the new firmware which gave me a "configuraion error contact service provider" when powering up the phone.
Third time I added main and FS in XS++3.1 where I knoew I could select CDA from list and then I did the unlocking in SETool2lite 1.11 where I could follow the tut.
So alls well that ends well and thanks for having all this information free to hand. Although I am starting to wonder why I spent 15 hrs or so at this when I could have taken it down the shop and got it all done for £15...£1 an hour is not a good rate.
I don't normally talk to myself this much.....
Is there a record for consecutive posts by same user?
