CF03 help
 

i need help with CF03 and windows vista 64bit. im trying to help a friend upgrade to cf03, but he has a mac, so we have to use my laptop. unfortunaley, when i open the user upgrade tool, it says i dont have windows mobile device, and quits the process. he really wants to get cf03 so he can move on to 6.5, but im at a loss as to what to do. please help.


Thanks in advance,
Ryan

The Samsung update tool is only compatible with 32-bit Windows. I don't know if you've ever successfully run the updater on 64-bit Vista, but in any case I would use XP if possible. I've done it twice on XP and it's worked fine both times (the second time, though, the updater said I needed to reboot my phone, which I did, then it started right up the next time).

Re: CF03 help
 

easiest way to do it is have the .image version of the file and use UMDL and do it that way

i think i know what u are talking about. the only part of the instructions i dint get was that i couldnt find the .bin file. there are three seperate files that u have to download. where is the .bin?

Re: CF03 help
 

The CF03 update file is a Unified Image File in IMG format, not BIN.

Download the CF03 parts 1, 2 and 3 from here into the same folder and open any one of the files with 7-zip or WinRar then extract. Then load it up in UMDL, be sure to click unified image file.
