Flashing DCT3

and tools

 

WARNING: Before upgrading always create FUBU (Full Backup) of your phone. Not just partial flash.

  

 

 

 

Image above of Standard DCT3 Flash Cable Set
with connectors for 3210, 8210, 33XX, 51XX
Extra Connectors are widely available.
You Will also need an mbus compatible datacable for setting the FAID after flashing. If you have the set above then the Data Base Cable is what you need (pictured below)

   

 In order to upgrade (or downgrade) your phone's software, you will need:

 

a flasher cable,

flashing software,

an MBUS cable and

 FAID (Flash Authority Identification Data) calculation software.

You will need the latest version of firmware for your model of handset,which come in the form of MCU+PPM,
available for download here: http://www.handy-flashpage.tk/.  It is best to combine the two flashes into a single flash file using nasNFcon,which should be slightly smaller than the full size of the flash,
 so as not to erase EEPROM data.

 MCU (Master Control Unit) - contains main operating software

 PPM (Post Programmable Memory) - contains languages, dictionaries, menus, ringtones, etc.

 EEPROM (Electronically Erasable and Programmable Read Only Memory) - contains phone specific information

Recommended software - The following instructions are provided for upgrading using Rolis Flasher and NokTool1.8.
