Vx, 06 Apr 2011I said many times to you to hard reset. But you never did. I said you to delete those folders ... moreOkay dude, you kinda feel upset with me. I will try again following each and every step you mentioned. But this time i will simply keep a backup of the system files of C and E drive, in case i mess up things.
Btw, heard that Envy^5 based on this n97 port will be released today. Any idea if its true or not?
Oh and as for my being scared and givin up thing, its not true. Cause i still got warranty and hence i will be pleased even if i happen to blow my set (will get a replacement, he he). But it was kinda creepy when my imei got erased all of a sudden. My bad i didn't hard reset.

novice, 06 Apr 2011hi sb.i hv 21.0.004 firmware on 5233 can i flash it with blaze?katalyst^2? in daily forums its... moreHi novice mate.. I'd recommend you flash with Blaze as it is much better than Katalyst^2. In addition Blaze is based on the latest V40 fw. And Blaze is something completely different from the original firmware. They have actually used the C6 Rofs2 file and replaced it with the original files of 5233. So if you are planning on flashing your phone with Blaze, you should download the core files by Binh24 separately for Blaze and should not use the original v40 5233 firmware files. It should be noted that the core files for blaze does not contain the Rofs3 file. Instead everything is packed into the Rofs2 file itself to obtain more space for adding mods and apps. replace the Rofs of core with the modded file and replace the ud file with the one that is supplied with blaze.
The rest is done as ususal. Follow the same procedures for flashing. Also note that after flashing, do not hard reset the phone.

Sbdevilmind, 06 Apr 2011I haven't tried blaze yet. Can you give a few differientiation between it and katalyst^2. For ... moreNot much of a difference. The phone is a bit more snapy and the amount of free RAm is a bit more than in Katalyst. There are however quite a few mods unique to Blaze like the 'tap to unlock' screen seen in S^3 and recent S^1 devices like C5-03. I'm not sure which mod they have used for kinetic scrolling but it is super smooth and feels more natural to the touch. The browser seems stable as well. Haven't come across any flash player related issues. There's a bubch of useful apps that come preloaded as well like auto installer and Memory check. The most welcome feature for me is the availability of more free RAM which now lets me run the latest version of SPB shell more smoothly. The battery life also need a bit of mentioning as well. I thing battery life has improved a lot. I get 2 days of moderate usage easily even with the shell running on top of it. I also like the breathing lights for the charger as well. However some of the patches like 'disable profile switch note' doesn't seem to work. I enabled the bass effects patch to get the best audio quality and it does work well. Tomorrow gonna get myself a WH-205 for rough use and for music on the go. My she9800 is showing signs of wear and tear so gotta give it a bit of rest. Don't have enough money to buy a new pair so gotta make due with the WH-205 for now. My bought one from Nokia Priority for 349/-.

I said you to delete those folders from the card. But you flashed with your own methods. Obviously you got it's results , got scared and gave it up.
Mate, n97 flashing is a totally different thing.
Even without any modes i feel it way better than useless C6 port.
Most of the guys got only two bugs ,call and camera bugs. Call bug can be fixed right from the phone. Camera bug can be fixed with NFE.(bug is only with image mode )
Apart from these, it will beat useless C6in every department. Ram value is awesome. Ngage and AVC videos worked like a charm. I can show screenshots from my mobile.
I salute the guys of daily mobile for their hard work .They and beta testers like me are not earning a single penny for this.
C6 is now a history for me at least.
Thanks

Oh well. H.264 didn't work at all. Not nHD nor anything above qvga. I returned back to my previous firmware as it didn't have any mods and hence i wasn't feeling good with the way the phone handled. Although i have to say that its kinda fast. Waithing for the final version or better still a cfw based on it.
So guys, its better to stay away from it for a while unless you want to contribute to its development being a beta tester.
Oh btw, Vx is our old friend Venugopal and he can help a lot with firmware related stuffs as he has learnt a lot from dailymobile recently.

Well I'm currently using Blaze final release. Great CFW with loads of free ram and overall better stability. So I've installed SPB shell atop of it to make it a bit more eye candy. Now completely at home using the SPB shell pack. Battery is good and shell doesn't compromise n performance though I disable it when doing heavy tasks like web browsing.

5233 download speed 4kb/s is nothing compared to 3.5G phone with 204 kb/s download speed. Even if u flash 5233 a thousand times it wount be able to achieve it.

Sbdevilmind, 06 Apr 2011Excellent! Now why don't you put up this discovery on that thread about the support of AVC fil... moreok, i will introduce these things in that thread so that you can explain about it there and people will surely get interested.( Check your mail soon.)Yes, it is pre hacked. It is not an issue as all S60v5 can be hacked(except c5-03) with patched install server.
The firmware is pretty similar to C6 in homescreen and rotation effects. But i didn't face any browser crash and felt more speed in ui.

Now why don't you put up this discovery on that thread about the support of AVC files. People will get more interested. I have just downloaded the rofs2 file and really want to try it out. Just a small request to you. Can you give me the fixes and procedures of camera fix and call fix. Plus any other that might have popped recently. But only through gmail, not PM in dailymobile (don't wanna get you in trouble).
I would like to beta test it too and post my conclusions here in gsmarena (then you can discuss it with the modders of dailymobile).
Unlike C6 port, this n97 port will be more of a hit. Reason is the increased ram. And since the reason of this increased ram isn't any DM modder but nokia itself, so stability will be top notch.
Besides, once i get this into my cell, i will start doing a whole lot of experiments, like trying multiple formats and codecs with varied resolution. Compatibility with various app (eg, swype and opera mini symbian were conflicting in c6 port).
Btw, is this n97 rofs2 pre hacked? Does it have transition effects. Compared to c6, what have you felt different.

Sbdevilmind, 05 Apr 2011Thanks for checking it out (the videos, i mean).
But i am still not confident on your answer.... moreGreat going there mates (Sb n Vx). Hmmm come to think of it why would Nokia deliberately downgrade our phone and deny us AVC support when the hardware is perfectly capable of taking on the load. Maybe it's gotta do with the price I guess. Having features on our 5233 exclusive to top end models would make a lot of n97 users feel a bit screwed. Anyway since were the one's on winning side, who am I to complain.
The only thing is having to go through the painstaking revisions and bug fixes till we get something stable and usable. I just hope that this time around we won't have to make cuts on functionality.

Sbdevilmind, 05 Apr 2011Thanks for checking it out (the videos, i mean).
But i am still not confident on your answer.... morei didn't get much time to experiment on videos. Anyways the video i played showed it format like this in real player -'X-HX-AVC1'
And yes i beta tests it. The warning was not about asking release dates. They instructed me not to share any modes or details about the project (via personal mail. )This is because recently some people started to steal our modes and acted like they made it .Even yesterday John89 deleted his camera fix files from the thread .
As for daily mobile is concerned it is a well organised forum. Lucky to have PhatTrance there. Well constructed rules are an important part of an organisation. Though it is an open forum,this makes daily mobile different and i like it. (you may know about the recent 'daily mobile -mobile9 war'.he he he ).Look at this thread in gsm arena .You will find several offensive comments. But this is not possible in daily mobile eventhough it contains thousands of threads !
One more thing ,n gage was not pre installed in n97 firmware. I installed it separately and it appeared in the games folder.
Thanks.
