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).

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

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.

so all i need is one of the files from the three folders? or extract them all into one folder then hit PDA? sorry im pretty new at this.

Download all three rar files to the same place, then open up any of the files in 7-Zip (just use part 1 to make things easy). You will see the IMG file listed. Just extract that one file and then the pieces will be automatically combined.

ps - we were all new to this once!
