Hello again. There is some useful information about adding Arabic support (fonts + keyboard) to WM6 on this site:

You need to unzip the WM6-Firmware i600UXXGG2 into a folder on your desktop, THEN run the installer. I suspect you are double-clicking on the Zip file, then then installer and it doesn’t like that. Regards, Paul

@kevenh
In that case, you probably haven’t installed the 2nd set of modem drivers properly. When it is in ‘recovery mode’, go into device manager and see if any devices have a exclamation flag against them – if so, delete them, and when prompted to install drivers, manually select the folder into which you’ve unzipped the drivers linked off this page.

When it is in the correct mode, and the correct drivers are installed, you get a progress bar (after pressing the ‘start’ button of course), finished with the screen I’ve shown in the post.

Regards,

Paul

@Paul McGuinness
Hi Paul
The PC tool is idle. There’s no progress on the % bar.
I’m recharging the i600′s batteries, and downloading the MoDaCo package again.

The phone may not be completely bricked – yet – as I get the opportunity to start again!

hi kevin, what does the firmware loader on the PC say at this point?

By: kevenh

kevenh — Mon, 01 Mar 2010 12:37:09 +0000

I can get the 1st two steps done.

EBOOT and PDA, but the PHONE step seems wrong.

I have the coloured text display on the phone, with “Time: {changing randomely}” on the bottom line for ages (>20min), and a reboot to ‘Ultra Messaging’ that stays like that.

What should happen?
tnx

Img file? The RAR file I had simply had an installer – no IMG file… can you post a screen shot somewhere?

Exactly what drivers do I need?

I have installed the modem driver, that’s all I have done though. Do I just leave it once it is installed?

Next I have opened the WCEDownloader and clicked ‘PDA’ and selected the ‘xxgg2_pda’ file.

Have I got the wrong files? If so I’ll need some specfic direction!
