This whole firmware thing has gotten way out of hand and it will now stop. I am sick of requests to me for it - I DON'T HAVE IT! I have had 4 separate Black belts or Sensei's ask me to do something so now I am. Here are the rules:
1. Do not PM anyone for the firmware, if you do and they tell me I will ban your IP from the site.
2. Do not email anyone for the firmware, if you do and they tell me I will ban your IP from the site.
3. Do not use any of the instant messenger services to ask for the firmware, if you do and they tell me I will ban your IP from the site.
4. Do not post a request for the firmware to be emailed or anything else. If I see a request and I am in a good mood I will delete it, if I am in a bad mood I will ban your IP.
Don't mess with me on this, I can ban you faster than you can say oops. I hate to have to do this but come on, someone actually threatened AJ. Get a grip people, you could always pay GSMLocker.com $100 if you want it so bad.
Let's go over it again, no PMs, no emails, no instant messaging, only the request forum.
If you are lucky and you ask real nice in the forum, you may get it but if you get annoying - BAM - your gone.
Got it? Can you tell I'm pissed? Don't make me block you, follow the rules.
Sean
PS. I will of course publicly humiliate anyone who makes me block them.
Good Job Sean, I was sick of seeing the same post over and over on the site when I came to visit. Glad to see some action being taken. =D>
Thank you! Thank you! Thank you! Thank you! Thank you! Thank you!
how about adding no more "I flashed my device and now xx doesn't it work right" or "I flashed/unlocked my device and I need settings for xxxx carrier". Dear god people! That's what you get for flashing/unlocking your phone. Quit flooding the boards with the same old question.
WAY TO GO SEAN!!!
We/I should compile these settings in the FAQs, good point.
Thanks for the clarification Sean. I did not know there was a seperate forum for these requests.
I think you guys should lighten up a little!
We're all just trying to get the most out of our phones. Some people may have more time than other to cruise these boards and gather information. Some may be more technically savy, but what is this forum for? Hopefully to get and share information.
I think you did the right thing Sean by clarifting that there is another forum for these posts, as opposed to complaining about all of the posts.
If people would take a few minutes to look, most of the answers are here. Unfortunately people are lazy, and think their time is more valuable than everyone else's, so they don't bother to look. And that does tend to get frustrating. Especially when you just answered the exact same question 2 days ago for someone else.
I've searched the forum, and pretty much the entire internet.. Seems that the "new Forum for Firmware requests" does not exist. Do any of you fellows have an idea of where I would post such a request?
You have searched too hard if you didn't see the recent announcement about Sean removing the firmware requets forum...
I've been visting this site and reading the forums for some time now and this is the first post i've ever made. Why? because every single question ive ever had was answered in a few minutes of searching. I really don't understand why people say that they dont have the time to search seeing as how it takes longer to post a question and then wait for a reply. thanks, chuck
Sean & Staff,
Good job on the boards!
Quick question - did this site host firmware(s) in the past? If so, why were they taken down?
I'm hosting some on my site at the moment, but am not really wanting legal hassles!
Any thoughts/ideas?
I'm haven't been on the site in a long while and I'm trying to play "catch up". I suppose I have been under a rock for a while as I am an mpx200 owner that doesn't have the 2003 firmware. My questions is why is this a big deal to obtain it and why is this site taking such a strong stance against people obtaining it? Are there some legal issues involved? Excuse me in advance for my ignorance on the subject.
I noticed someone said they purchased a firmware upgrade on EBay. I'll check that out when I get home tonight (blocked at work). I noticed this post said it made the phone a tri-band. The model I bought has only european gsm bands, so my reception in Oklahoma leaves a little room for improvement. Will a firmware upgrade like that enable my phone to recieve US band (1900, ect) towers too?
All MPx200's already have the 1900Mhz band on them. They are either 1800/1900 (AT&T version), or 900/1800/1900 (European versions). You probably need the 850Mhz band, which no MPx200 has, or can have regardless of ROM flashing. The ROM flash enables the 900Mhz band on some AT&T version phones.
