43dbedde9d80 doc/C1xx-Howto written Mychaela Falconia <falcon@freecalypso.org> parents: diff changeset	5 phone is very much akin to xenotransplantation: Mot C1xx hardware is an alien

43dbedde9d80 doc/C1xx-Howto written Mychaela Falconia <falcon@freecalypso.org> parents: diff changeset	15 Firmware flashing on Mot C1xx phones is accomplished through the headset jack
43dbedde9d80 doc/C1xx-Howto written Mychaela Falconia <falcon@freecalypso.org> parents: diff changeset	16 via a special cable. There is no need to disassemble the phone in any way or
43dbedde9d80 doc/C1xx-Howto written Mychaela Falconia <falcon@freecalypso.org> parents: diff changeset	17 to do any soldering or other hardware surgery, but you will need a host system

43dbedde9d80 doc/C1xx-Howto written Mychaela Falconia <falcon@freecalypso.org> parents: diff changeset	36 Before you begin the actual conversion of your C1xx phone to FreeCalypso, you
43dbedde9d80 doc/C1xx-Howto written Mychaela Falconia <falcon@freecalypso.org> parents: diff changeset	37 will need to gather the following pieces of information:
43dbedde9d80 doc/C1xx-Howto written Mychaela Falconia <falcon@freecalypso.org> parents: diff changeset	38
43dbedde9d80 doc/C1xx-Howto written Mychaela Falconia <falcon@freecalypso.org> parents: diff changeset	39 * The phone's IMEI - we don't know how to extract it out of Mot/Compal's non-TI
43dbedde9d80 doc/C1xx-Howto written Mychaela Falconia <falcon@freecalypso.org> parents: diff changeset	40 flash data structures, so you will have to reset it manually after the
43dbedde9d80 doc/C1xx-Howto written Mychaela Falconia <falcon@freecalypso.org> parents: diff changeset	41 firmware change. Of course you can set your "new" FreeCalypso IMEI to
43dbedde9d80 doc/C1xx-Howto written Mychaela Falconia <falcon@freecalypso.org> parents: diff changeset	42 whatever you feel like, but if you wish to keep the original factory-assigned
43dbedde9d80 doc/C1xx-Howto written Mychaela Falconia <falcon@freecalypso.org> parents: diff changeset	43 one, you will need to note it down manually, either from the sticker inside
43dbedde9d80 doc/C1xx-Howto written Mychaela Falconia <falcon@freecalypso.org> parents: diff changeset	44 the battery compartment (very hard to read!) or by booting the phone up
43dbedde9d80 doc/C1xx-Howto written Mychaela Falconia <falcon@freecalypso.org> parents: diff changeset	45 with its original fw prior to the conversion, entering *#06# and reading it
43dbedde9d80 doc/C1xx-Howto written Mychaela Falconia <falcon@freecalypso.org> parents: diff changeset	46 from the display.
43dbedde9d80 doc/C1xx-Howto written Mychaela Falconia <falcon@freecalypso.org> parents: diff changeset	47
43dbedde9d80 doc/C1xx-Howto written Mychaela Falconia <falcon@freecalypso.org> parents: diff changeset	48 * Your specific phone's factory RF calibration values: you will need to make a
43dbedde9d80 doc/C1xx-Howto written Mychaela Falconia <falcon@freecalypso.org> parents: diff changeset	49 dump of your phone's flash memory (also serves as a backup, always a good
43dbedde9d80 doc/C1xx-Howto written Mychaela Falconia <falcon@freecalypso.org> parents: diff changeset	50 thing to have) with fc-loadtool and extract the numbers of interest with our
43dbedde9d80 doc/C1xx-Howto written Mychaela Falconia <falcon@freecalypso.org> parents: diff changeset	51 c1xx-calextr utility, which is part of the new FC host tools.
43dbedde9d80 doc/C1xx-Howto written Mychaela Falconia <falcon@freecalypso.org> parents: diff changeset	52
43dbedde9d80 doc/C1xx-Howto written Mychaela Falconia <falcon@freecalypso.org> parents: diff changeset	53 * You need to know whether your phone has 900+1800 MHz or 850+1900 MHz bands -
43dbedde9d80 doc/C1xx-Howto written Mychaela Falconia <falcon@freecalypso.org> parents: diff changeset	54 you will need to communicate this information to the new fw after the
43dbedde9d80 doc/C1xx-Howto written Mychaela Falconia <falcon@freecalypso.org> parents: diff changeset	55 conversion. To the best of our knowledge, all C11x/12x and C140 phones have
43dbedde9d80 doc/C1xx-Howto written Mychaela Falconia <falcon@freecalypso.org> parents: diff changeset	56 900+1800 MHz bands, but C139 phones have been made in both versions. On the
43dbedde9d80 doc/C1xx-Howto written Mychaela Falconia <falcon@freecalypso.org> parents: diff changeset	57 phones that have passed through our hands so far, the first two digits of the
43dbedde9d80 doc/C1xx-Howto written Mychaela Falconia <falcon@freecalypso.org> parents: diff changeset	58 IMEI have been 35 on 900+1800 MHz phones and 01 on 850+1900 MHz ones.
43dbedde9d80 doc/C1xx-Howto written Mychaela Falconia <falcon@freecalypso.org> parents: diff changeset	59
43dbedde9d80 doc/C1xx-Howto written Mychaela Falconia <falcon@freecalypso.org> parents: diff changeset	60 * You need to know whether your phone has 2 MiB or 4 MiB flash. To the best of
43dbedde9d80 doc/C1xx-Howto written Mychaela Falconia <falcon@freecalypso.org> parents: diff changeset	61 our knowledge, all C139/140 phones have 4 MiB flash, but C11x have been seen
43dbedde9d80 doc/C1xx-Howto written Mychaela Falconia <falcon@freecalypso.org> parents: diff changeset	62 with both 2 MiB and 4 MiB flashes. The flash memory size will be autodetected
43dbedde9d80 doc/C1xx-Howto written Mychaela Falconia <falcon@freecalypso.org> parents: diff changeset	63 by fc-loadtool as part of making the flash dump.
43dbedde9d80 doc/C1xx-Howto written Mychaela Falconia <falcon@freecalypso.org> parents: diff changeset	64
43dbedde9d80 doc/C1xx-Howto written Mychaela Falconia <falcon@freecalypso.org> parents: diff changeset	65 The Mother's method for keeping track of these per-phone bits of information is
43dbedde9d80 doc/C1xx-Howto written Mychaela Falconia <falcon@freecalypso.org> parents: diff changeset	66 to create a separate directory for each phone with the IMEI as the directory
43dbedde9d80 doc/C1xx-Howto written Mychaela Falconia <falcon@freecalypso.org> parents: diff changeset	67 name; the flash dump and the RF calibration bits extracted from it will then
43dbedde9d80 doc/C1xx-Howto written Mychaela Falconia <falcon@freecalypso.org> parents: diff changeset	68 reside in that directory, while the IMEI is in the name of the directory itself.
43dbedde9d80 doc/C1xx-Howto written Mychaela Falconia <falcon@freecalypso.org> parents: diff changeset	69
43dbedde9d80 doc/C1xx-Howto written Mychaela Falconia <falcon@freecalypso.org> parents: diff changeset	70 Once you have created your per-phone directory and cd'ed into it, you are ready
43dbedde9d80 doc/C1xx-Howto written Mychaela Falconia <falcon@freecalypso.org> parents: diff changeset	71 to run fc-loadtool to capture the flash dump. The phone needs to be off, but
43dbedde9d80 doc/C1xx-Howto written Mychaela Falconia <falcon@freecalypso.org> parents: diff changeset	72 the battery needs to be present and have some charge in it; with the phone off,
43dbedde9d80 doc/C1xx-Howto written Mychaela Falconia <falcon@freecalypso.org> parents: diff changeset	73 connect the serial cable between your host computer and the phone's headset
43dbedde9d80 doc/C1xx-Howto written Mychaela Falconia <falcon@freecalypso.org> parents: diff changeset	74 jack, and run fc-loadtool as follows:
43dbedde9d80 doc/C1xx-Howto written Mychaela Falconia <falcon@freecalypso.org> parents: diff changeset	75
43dbedde9d80 doc/C1xx-Howto written Mychaela Falconia <falcon@freecalypso.org> parents: diff changeset	76 fc-loadtool -h compal -c 1004 /dev/ttyXXX
43dbedde9d80 doc/C1xx-Howto written Mychaela Falconia <falcon@freecalypso.org> parents: diff changeset	77
43dbedde9d80 doc/C1xx-Howto written Mychaela Falconia <falcon@freecalypso.org> parents: diff changeset	78 Change /dev/ttyXXX to the serial or USB-serial device corresponding to your
43dbedde9d80 doc/C1xx-Howto written Mychaela Falconia <falcon@freecalypso.org> parents: diff changeset	79 serial cable. The -c 1004 option (adds a little inefficiency which is required
43dbedde9d80 doc/C1xx-Howto written Mychaela Falconia <falcon@freecalypso.org> parents: diff changeset	80 for C139/140) phones can be omitted if your phone is C11x/12x, but it is also
43dbedde9d80 doc/C1xx-Howto written Mychaela Falconia <falcon@freecalypso.org> parents: diff changeset	81 harmless to always add it. With the serial cable connected, the phone in the
43dbedde9d80 doc/C1xx-Howto written Mychaela Falconia <falcon@freecalypso.org> parents: diff changeset	82 powered-off state and the fc-loadtool process running and waiting for the phone,
43dbedde9d80 doc/C1xx-Howto written Mychaela Falconia <falcon@freecalypso.org> parents: diff changeset	83 press the red power button on the phone - a momentary press is sufficient and
43dbedde9d80 doc/C1xx-Howto written Mychaela Falconia <falcon@freecalypso.org> parents: diff changeset	84 recommended.
43dbedde9d80 doc/C1xx-Howto written Mychaela Falconia <falcon@freecalypso.org> parents: diff changeset	85
43dbedde9d80 doc/C1xx-Howto written Mychaela Falconia <falcon@freecalypso.org> parents: diff changeset	86 Once the phone boots the loadagent code fed to it serially by fc-loadtool and
43dbedde9d80 doc/C1xx-Howto written Mychaela Falconia <falcon@freecalypso.org> parents: diff changeset	87 you land at the loadtool> prompt, issue the following command:
43dbedde9d80 doc/C1xx-Howto written Mychaela Falconia <falcon@freecalypso.org> parents: diff changeset	88
43dbedde9d80 doc/C1xx-Howto written Mychaela Falconia <falcon@freecalypso.org> parents: diff changeset	89 flash dump2bin flashdump.bin
43dbedde9d80 doc/C1xx-Howto written Mychaela Falconia <falcon@freecalypso.org> parents: diff changeset	90
43dbedde9d80 doc/C1xx-Howto written Mychaela Falconia <falcon@freecalypso.org> parents: diff changeset	91 Given this command, fc-loadtool will autodetect whether your phone has 2 MiB or
43dbedde9d80 doc/C1xx-Howto written Mychaela Falconia <falcon@freecalypso.org> parents: diff changeset	92 4 MiB flash, then make a dump of the complete content of this flash memory and
43dbedde9d80 doc/C1xx-Howto written Mychaela Falconia <falcon@freecalypso.org> parents: diff changeset	93 save it in a file named flashdump.bin in the current directory. When this
43dbedde9d80 doc/C1xx-Howto written Mychaela Falconia <falcon@freecalypso.org> parents: diff changeset	94 operation completes, exit the loadtool session with the exit command - it will
43dbedde9d80 doc/C1xx-Howto written Mychaela Falconia <falcon@freecalypso.org> parents: diff changeset	95 also cleanly power the phone off.
43dbedde9d80 doc/C1xx-Howto written Mychaela Falconia <falcon@freecalypso.org> parents: diff changeset	96
43dbedde9d80 doc/C1xx-Howto written Mychaela Falconia <falcon@freecalypso.org> parents: diff changeset	97 The next step is to extract the RF calibration values. Run a command of the
43dbedde9d80 doc/C1xx-Howto written Mychaela Falconia <falcon@freecalypso.org> parents: diff changeset	98 following form:
43dbedde9d80 doc/C1xx-Howto written Mychaela Falconia <falcon@freecalypso.org> parents: diff changeset	99

43dbedde9d80 doc/C1xx-Howto written Mychaela Falconia <falcon@freecalypso.org> parents: diff changeset	104 flashdump.bin is 4194304 bytes). The stdout scribbles from c1xx-calextr will
43dbedde9d80 doc/C1xx-Howto written Mychaela Falconia <falcon@freecalypso.org> parents: diff changeset	105 indicate which per-band calibration records it finds (from which you can tell
43dbedde9d80 doc/C1xx-Howto written Mychaela Falconia <falcon@freecalypso.org> parents: diff changeset	106 if the phone has 900+1800 MHz or 850+1900 MHz bands if you didn't have this
43dbedde9d80 doc/C1xx-Howto written Mychaela Falconia <falcon@freecalypso.org> parents: diff changeset	107 knowledge already), and a directory named rfbin will be created, containing the

43dbedde9d80 doc/C1xx-Howto written Mychaela Falconia <falcon@freecalypso.org> parents: diff changeset	197 * Have your phone's battery fully charged - although you will regain the

43dbedde9d80 doc/C1xx-Howto written Mychaela Falconia <falcon@freecalypso.org> parents: diff changeset	232 ==================================================
43dbedde9d80 doc/C1xx-Howto written Mychaela Falconia <falcon@freecalypso.org> parents: diff changeset	233
43dbedde9d80 doc/C1xx-Howto written Mychaela Falconia <falcon@freecalypso.org> parents: diff changeset	234 By the conventions established in the FreeCalypso family of projects, all of
43dbedde9d80 doc/C1xx-Howto written Mychaela Falconia <falcon@freecalypso.org> parents: diff changeset	235 our firmwares for C11x and C139 targets have the following in common:
43dbedde9d80 doc/C1xx-Howto written Mychaela Falconia <falcon@freecalypso.org> parents: diff changeset	236
43dbedde9d80 doc/C1xx-Howto written Mychaela Falconia <falcon@freecalypso.org> parents: diff changeset	237 * They all stay out of the boot sector and expect to receive control from the
43dbedde9d80 doc/C1xx-Howto written Mychaela Falconia <falcon@freecalypso.org> parents: diff changeset	238 boot code in the same manner (boot entry point at 0x10058, exception vectors
43dbedde9d80 doc/C1xx-Howto written Mychaela Falconia <falcon@freecalypso.org> parents: diff changeset	239 at 0x10000), thus there is no need to reflash the dangerous boot sector when
43dbedde9d80 doc/C1xx-Howto written Mychaela Falconia <falcon@freecalypso.org> parents: diff changeset	240 going from one FC firmware to another.
43dbedde9d80 doc/C1xx-Howto written Mychaela Falconia <falcon@freecalypso.org> parents: diff changeset	241
43dbedde9d80 doc/C1xx-Howto written Mychaela Falconia <falcon@freecalypso.org> parents: diff changeset	242 * They all use the same aftermarket FFS configuration of 3 sectors of 64 KiB
43dbedde9d80 doc/C1xx-Howto written Mychaela Falconia <falcon@freecalypso.org> parents: diff changeset	243 each (64x3) at 0x3C0000 on 4 MiB flash phones, or at 0x1C0000 on 2 MiB flash
43dbedde9d80 doc/C1xx-Howto written Mychaela Falconia <falcon@freecalypso.org> parents: diff changeset	244 phones. This FFS location is deliberately different from the one used by
43dbedde9d80 doc/C1xx-Howto written Mychaela Falconia <falcon@freecalypso.org> parents: diff changeset	245 Mot/Compal's firmwares, eliminating the possibility of one fw trying to use
43dbedde9d80 doc/C1xx-Howto written Mychaela Falconia <falcon@freecalypso.org> parents: diff changeset	246 the FFS created by the other, and by putting our FFS toward the end of the
43dbedde9d80 doc/C1xx-Howto written Mychaela Falconia <falcon@freecalypso.org> parents: diff changeset	247 flash we maximize the amount of flash space available for our firmware code
43dbedde9d80 doc/C1xx-Howto written Mychaela Falconia <falcon@freecalypso.org> parents: diff changeset	248 images. But even though we don't share our FFS with Mot/Compal's official
43dbedde9d80 doc/C1xx-Howto written Mychaela Falconia <falcon@freecalypso.org> parents: diff changeset	249 firmwares, we do share the same FFS between all of FreeCalypso firmware
43dbedde9d80 doc/C1xx-Howto written Mychaela Falconia <falcon@freecalypso.org> parents: diff changeset	250 projects - thus once you have initialized your FFS (see below) with one FC
43dbedde9d80 doc/C1xx-Howto written Mychaela Falconia <falcon@freecalypso.org> parents: diff changeset	251 firmware version, it will work with the others as well.

43dbedde9d80 doc/C1xx-Howto written Mychaela Falconia <falcon@freecalypso.org> parents: diff changeset	253 If you need to reflash your C1xx phone from one FC firmware version to another,
43dbedde9d80 doc/C1xx-Howto written Mychaela Falconia <falcon@freecalypso.org> parents: diff changeset	254 simply get in with fc-loadtool -h compal (no more need for the inefficient

43dbedde9d80 doc/C1xx-Howto written Mychaela Falconia <falcon@freecalypso.org> parents: diff changeset	269 UI-enabled fw configurations automatically bring up the GSM radio and try to
43dbedde9d80 doc/C1xx-Howto written Mychaela Falconia <falcon@freecalypso.org> parents: diff changeset	270 connect to the default network on boot if there is a SIM present, and you don't
43dbedde9d80 doc/C1xx-Howto written Mychaela Falconia <falcon@freecalypso.org> parents: diff changeset	271 want your firmware trying to connect to a real live GSM network when you haven't

43dbedde9d80 doc/C1xx-Howto written Mychaela Falconia <falcon@freecalypso.org> parents: diff changeset	273 controlled pseudo-modem configurations, then you don't need to worry if the SIM
43dbedde9d80 doc/C1xx-Howto written Mychaela Falconia <falcon@freecalypso.org> parents: diff changeset	274 is there or not on your first boot - just don't command it to connect to a
43dbedde9d80 doc/C1xx-Howto written Mychaela Falconia <falcon@freecalypso.org> parents: diff changeset	275 network until you have initialized the FFS.

43dbedde9d80 doc/C1xx-Howto written Mychaela Falconia <falcon@freecalypso.org> parents: diff changeset	277 If you have flashed a non-UI firmware version, the phone's LCD will remain dark
43dbedde9d80 doc/C1xx-Howto written Mychaela Falconia <falcon@freecalypso.org> parents: diff changeset	278 as there is no LCD driver code in this firmware, but you will see trace output
43dbedde9d80 doc/C1xx-Howto written Mychaela Falconia <falcon@freecalypso.org> parents: diff changeset	279 in the rvinterf window, telling you that the fw is running.

43dbedde9d80 doc/C1xx-Howto written Mychaela Falconia <falcon@freecalypso.org> parents: diff changeset	281 Before you do anything else, you will need to run fc-fsio and initialize the
43dbedde9d80 doc/C1xx-Howto written Mychaela Falconia <falcon@freecalypso.org> parents: diff changeset	282 aftermarket FFS for our firmware:

43dbedde9d80 doc/C1xx-Howto written Mychaela Falconia <falcon@freecalypso.org> parents: diff changeset	291 then additionally:
43dbedde9d80 doc/C1xx-Howto written Mychaela Falconia <falcon@freecalypso.org> parents: diff changeset	292

43dbedde9d80 doc/C1xx-Howto written Mychaela Falconia <falcon@freecalypso.org> parents: diff changeset	296 The last two commands are new with the 2018-01 revision of the FC-to-C1xx
43dbedde9d80 doc/C1xx-Howto written Mychaela Falconia <falcon@freecalypso.org> parents: diff changeset	297 xenotransplantation procedure. The upload-subtree command uploads the RF
43dbedde9d80 doc/C1xx-Howto written Mychaela Falconia <falcon@freecalypso.org> parents: diff changeset	298 calibration values which you had extracted earlier with c1xx-calextr (the
43dbedde9d80 doc/C1xx-Howto written Mychaela Falconia <falcon@freecalypso.org> parents: diff changeset	299 instructions assume that you are running from the same directory where the
43dbedde9d80 doc/C1xx-Howto written Mychaela Falconia <falcon@freecalypso.org> parents: diff changeset	300 rfbin directory subtree had been created earlier), and this step is necessary
43dbedde9d80 doc/C1xx-Howto written Mychaela Falconia <falcon@freecalypso.org> parents: diff changeset	301 in order for your phone to continue to transmit at the correct power levels
43dbedde9d80 doc/C1xx-Howto written Mychaela Falconia <falcon@freecalypso.org> parents: diff changeset	302 after the conversion. The write-charging-config command uploads the
43dbedde9d80 doc/C1xx-Howto written Mychaela Falconia <falcon@freecalypso.org> parents: diff changeset	303 configuration settings for the FCHG battery charging driver, without which it
43dbedde9d80 doc/C1xx-Howto written Mychaela Falconia <falcon@freecalypso.org> parents: diff changeset	304 cannot charge the battery; you must have the charging config files from the
43dbedde9d80 doc/C1xx-Howto written Mychaela Falconia <falcon@freecalypso.org> parents: diff changeset	305 fc-battery-conf tree installed under /opt/freecalypso in order for this command
43dbedde9d80 doc/C1xx-Howto written Mychaela Falconia <falcon@freecalypso.org> parents: diff changeset	306 to work as given.
43dbedde9d80 doc/C1xx-Howto written Mychaela Falconia <falcon@freecalypso.org> parents: diff changeset	307
43dbedde9d80 doc/C1xx-Howto written Mychaela Falconia <falcon@freecalypso.org> parents: diff changeset	308 It needs to be noted that the battery charging config settings uploaded with
43dbedde9d80 doc/C1xx-Howto written Mychaela Falconia <falcon@freecalypso.org> parents: diff changeset	309 fc-fsio write-charging-config take effect only on the next boot cycle of the
43dbedde9d80 doc/C1xx-Howto written Mychaela Falconia <falcon@freecalypso.org> parents: diff changeset	310 firmware, i.e., until the next reboot after the write-charging-config operation,
43dbedde9d80 doc/C1xx-Howto written Mychaela Falconia <falcon@freecalypso.org> parents: diff changeset	311 the firmware won't charge the battery even if there is a charging power source
43dbedde9d80 doc/C1xx-Howto written Mychaela Falconia <falcon@freecalypso.org> parents: diff changeset	312 plugged in.
43dbedde9d80 doc/C1xx-Howto written Mychaela Falconia <falcon@freecalypso.org> parents: diff changeset	313
43dbedde9d80 doc/C1xx-Howto written Mychaela Falconia <falcon@freecalypso.org> parents: diff changeset	314 After you've initialized your FFS as above, you should exit fc-fsio, and your
43dbedde9d80 doc/C1xx-Howto written Mychaela Falconia <falcon@freecalypso.org> parents: diff changeset	315 next steps will depend on which fw configuration you are playing with. If it's
43dbedde9d80 doc/C1xx-Howto written Mychaela Falconia <falcon@freecalypso.org> parents: diff changeset	316 the sans-UI pseudo-modem configuration, run fc-shell and try some AT commands:
43dbedde9d80 doc/C1xx-Howto written Mychaela Falconia <falcon@freecalypso.org> parents: diff changeset	317
43dbedde9d80 doc/C1xx-Howto written Mychaela Falconia <falcon@freecalypso.org> parents: diff changeset	318 AT+CMEE=2 -- enable verbose error responses
43dbedde9d80 doc/C1xx-Howto written Mychaela Falconia <falcon@freecalypso.org> parents: diff changeset	319 AT+CFUN=1 -- enable radio and SIM interfaces
43dbedde9d80 doc/C1xx-Howto written Mychaela Falconia <falcon@freecalypso.org> parents: diff changeset	320 AT+COPS=0 -- register to the default GSM network
43dbedde9d80 doc/C1xx-Howto written Mychaela Falconia <falcon@freecalypso.org> parents: diff changeset	321
43dbedde9d80 doc/C1xx-Howto written Mychaela Falconia <falcon@freecalypso.org> parents: diff changeset	322 When you are done, you can power the phone off by sending a 'poweroff' command
43dbedde9d80 doc/C1xx-Howto written Mychaela Falconia <falcon@freecalypso.org> parents: diff changeset	323 through fc-shell, or you can kill rvinterf and wait for the firmware to power
43dbedde9d80 doc/C1xx-Howto written Mychaela Falconia <falcon@freecalypso.org> parents: diff changeset	324 off by the keepalive timeout after some 60 to 80 s.
43dbedde9d80 doc/C1xx-Howto written Mychaela Falconia <falcon@freecalypso.org> parents: diff changeset	325
43dbedde9d80 doc/C1xx-Howto written Mychaela Falconia <falcon@freecalypso.org> parents: diff changeset	326 If you are playing with the UI demo firmware, after you have initialized your
43dbedde9d80 doc/C1xx-Howto written Mychaela Falconia <falcon@freecalypso.org> parents: diff changeset	327 FFS, you can power the phone off with the power button, insert a SIM, power it
43dbedde9d80 doc/C1xx-Howto written Mychaela Falconia <falcon@freecalypso.org> parents: diff changeset	328 back on and play with the primitive UI.

43dbedde9d80 doc/C1xx-Howto written Mychaela Falconia <falcon@freecalypso.org> parents: diff changeset	331 ===============================
43dbedde9d80 doc/C1xx-Howto written Mychaela Falconia <falcon@freecalypso.org> parents: diff changeset	332
43dbedde9d80 doc/C1xx-Howto written Mychaela Falconia <falcon@freecalypso.org> parents: diff changeset	333 If you had previously initialized your aftermarket FFS using an earlier version
43dbedde9d80 doc/C1xx-Howto written Mychaela Falconia <falcon@freecalypso.org> parents: diff changeset	334 of these instructions, before we added the RF calibration and charging config
43dbedde9d80 doc/C1xx-Howto written Mychaela Falconia <falcon@freecalypso.org> parents: diff changeset	335 upload steps, you need to add these bits to your FFS. Update to the latest FC
43dbedde9d80 doc/C1xx-Howto written Mychaela Falconia <falcon@freecalypso.org> parents: diff changeset	336 host tools, extract the factory RF calibration values from a dump of your
43dbedde9d80 doc/C1xx-Howto written Mychaela Falconia <falcon@freecalypso.org> parents: diff changeset	337 phone's flash with c1xx-calextr, add the battery charging config files to your
43dbedde9d80 doc/C1xx-Howto written Mychaela Falconia <falcon@freecalypso.org> parents: diff changeset	338 /opt/freecalypso installation, boot the phone with rvinterf, get in with fc-fsio
43dbedde9d80 doc/C1xx-Howto written Mychaela Falconia <falcon@freecalypso.org> parents: diff changeset	339 and run the last two upload-subtree and write-charging-config commands as above.

43dbedde9d80 doc/C1xx-Howto written Mychaela Falconia <falcon@freecalypso.org> parents: diff changeset	341 Recalibration
43dbedde9d80 doc/C1xx-Howto written Mychaela Falconia <falcon@freecalypso.org> parents: diff changeset	342 =============
43dbedde9d80 doc/C1xx-Howto written Mychaela Falconia <falcon@freecalypso.org> parents: diff changeset	343
43dbedde9d80 doc/C1xx-Howto written Mychaela Falconia <falcon@freecalypso.org> parents: diff changeset	344 In the interest of completeness, it needs to be noted that extracting Motorola's
43dbedde9d80 doc/C1xx-Howto written Mychaela Falconia <falcon@freecalypso.org> parents: diff changeset	345 original factory RF calibration values and reusing them for FreeCalypso is not
43dbedde9d80 doc/C1xx-Howto written Mychaela Falconia <falcon@freecalypso.org> parents: diff changeset	346 the only way: the other alternative is to perform a fresh calibration using a
43dbedde9d80 doc/C1xx-Howto written Mychaela Falconia <falcon@freecalypso.org> parents: diff changeset	347 Rohde&Schwarz CMU200 RF test machine and FreeCalypso RF calibration software
43dbedde9d80 doc/C1xx-Howto written Mychaela Falconia <falcon@freecalypso.org> parents: diff changeset	348 (fc-rfcal-tools). This approach will yield superior results, but the
43dbedde9d80 doc/C1xx-Howto written Mychaela Falconia <falcon@freecalypso.org> parents: diff changeset	349 requirement of having a CMU200 instrument which is itself properly calibrated
43dbedde9d80 doc/C1xx-Howto written Mychaela Falconia <falcon@freecalypso.org> parents: diff changeset	350 and a cabling setup with the right adapters whose insertion loss at particular
43dbedde9d80 doc/C1xx-Howto written Mychaela Falconia <falcon@freecalypso.org> parents: diff changeset	351 GSM frequencies is precisely known makes this approach feasible only for
43dbedde9d80 doc/C1xx-Howto written Mychaela Falconia <falcon@freecalypso.org> parents: diff changeset	352 professional FreeCalypso service shops, not for ordinary individual users.
