I was wondering if this is the latest firmware available. It seems newer than the 0630-012 from the firmware package.
I came across this file somewhere but can't seem to remember.

You "should" be able to go back to the other version if you have the image to flash back to your phone. Unless you are talking about going back to the AT&T firmware, there is no way to get that back...

florin,
Any updates on that list of yours? I also have quite a few img files, but I do not have the generic one to fall back on so I am not willing to just flash my phone to find out.

I can not reveal my sources, but I do know that they are MPx200 firmware loads, I just do not know the details of the loads. They range from BEN6-0700-048 to BEN6-0880-048.

You can always reflash your phone to it's current state, except to the AT&T firmware, but if you have generic firmware then yes you can restore it to it's current state.
Side Note: Feel free to discuss these different firmware versions, but keep in mind that there is a seperate forum all together for makeing requests.

T-Mobile posted a while back w2k3 firmware for PocketPC phone edition. Will this work on mpx200? Or it runs a different OS?

I've read story's about the BEN6-0630-012.img but a list of firmwares like that doesn't tell me anything. I haven't flashed my mpx200 yet (dont have the BEN6-0630-012.img firmware either ) but i am doubting if i should do it. I really need that 900 band. What is the latest firmware for the MPX200, looking at the numbers this seems to be the latest firmware because of the highest number : BEN-6-0733-058.img ?

Syntax of the Releases: BEN = Beethoven, this is the internal name of the MPX 6 = I don't know (IMG: http://www.mobilegadgetnews.com/style_emoticons/default/wink.gif) 0733 = Software Version, the higher, the newer 058 = Provider Version e.g. 049 is Mobilkom Austria or 045 is Connect Austria Jack

cyberjack,
BEN6 means Bethovens's 6 ???
And what about the last digits? You say it is the provider version. This gives that any version you flash is 'branded' to some provider???
redetogo,
what do you mean by 'worked fine for me'? What problems did you solve by flashing this BEN6-0630-01.img???

By flashing the phone with the firmware it took out all carrier branding,added mms software,camera software,photo software,and also added triband. I can not really tell if it is any faster or not, but there is an mpx tweak for this which works very well. The BEN file i used by the way was (BEN6-0630-12.img) Im running the mpx200 sim unlocked,apps unlocked on Cingular in the USA. Was on ATT<< not anymore. LOL (IMG: http://www.mobilegadgetnews.com/style_emoticons/default/biggrin.gif)

redetogo,
so you had a ATT-locked phone and you can use it now with a non-ATT SIM. Good. What about 900MHz? As far as I know, there's no 900 MHz provider in US, so are you sure the firmware upgrade did provide triband?
(sorry to bother you, but I bought one MPX200-ATT phone from eBay, and I want to be absolutely sure that the BEN6-0630-12.img will enable triband)
TIA,

I had 650-035 on my phone and was experiencing some problems, especially with phone losing registration to the network after some inactivity time. I wanted to try some newer firmware, but was unable to find one. So, today I downgraded the phone to 630-012. It works andIt is on 900MHz only network. My first impressions are of some faster reactions of the phone - during menu navigation and especially when establishing GPRS connections.

Nikolay,
you say that after flashing the phone works only on 900Mhz??? What about SIM-locking? Your phone was locked to a specific provider SIM, and now you can use it with other SIM?

Oh, no. The network I am on is 900 MHz only - so I am sure that the phone uses the 900Mhz band. In the menu the usual 900/1800 and 1900 bands appear. The phone was not locked to start with - it was a generic (not operator branded or modified phone).
What I have read - on this and other sites - but have not confirmed myself - is that some (or may be all) ATT branded phones are also hardware tweaked and despite the generic software don't work at all ot work not reliably on 900MHz. Also, that operator locking has nothing to do with firmware - the lock status is preserved after firmware change. But as I said, those things I have only read and I cannot be 100% sure.

mariusq, don't get confused. Flashing the phone does NOTHING to the SIM-lock. You have to get a completely different thing to SIM-Unlock your phone, a unlock code that will be unique to your phone only. There are a couple different services out there that will do this, such as http://www.imei-check.co.uk/.

smeg36, still confused :-( where is the SIM-lock code? Isn't it stored somewhere in the phone's ROM (aka firmware)? or does this phone (smartphone/windows phone) have 2 ROMs: one for the phone and one for the windows software? i heared about http://www.imei-check.co.uk but I am unclear about how do they remotely unlock the SIM-lock. i mean they do send in return of IMEI a code to be typed in or a program that should be run on the phone? and what does this code/program do? please bear with me. i'm a newbie. at least in smartphones.

The unlock code is separate from the firmware. From my experience, whatever service you use to unlock your phone will ask for your IMEI number (*#06#) and some ammount of money. In return they will send you an unlock code. The thing is that you will need to have a different vendors SIM card inorder to enter this code. Someone correct me if I am wrong on this. Once you put the other SIM card in and power the phone up, it will ask you for the SUBSDY Unlock code. Enter the code you were given and your phone will then be unlocked - for good. Swapping FW will not change this, once your phone is unlocked it stays unlocked.

huckfinn is correct. The SIM-Lock is completely seperate from any firmware. You get a code, and when a foreign SIM is placed in the phone, it allows you to enter a code to use that SIM card.

mariusq,
Sims card locked or unlocked has nothing to do with the firmware.
As (smeq36) said a good place to do this is www.imei-check.co.uk, I had mine unlocked there, it took five to ten minutes and no longer. Cost was
like $35 US dollars. its very simple just go to the site and follow what is say to do and you will be fine.
Second, As for as triband goes these are the two i have to choose from.
1900 and 900/1800 as you can see the 900 and 1800 are together.
I have tried both and they work fine for me, but i just stay on auto. Hope this helps.

Since 2*900 = 1800, this is normal. (I mean the 900/1800 selection in the menu).
This also make me belive that indeed firmware upgrade 'unlocks' the 900MHz band.

I'm currently using a UK Orange branded phone with SIM unlock using a Vodafone SIM card.
I'm not having many problems, so will a new firmware improve any functions? Is it worth updating?
Thanks.

My experience with ATT branded phones is that if you upgrade the firmware and unlock the phone it does not mean that an ATT branded phone will work reliably on 900MHz. My advice is that if you need 900MHz and you want to take the risk of buying a ATT branded phone you should be prepared to be disapointed. I would really like to hear from anyone out there that knows what has been done and if it can be fixed. You can email me at: hooperinternational at hotmail.com if you don't want to post your answer. Cheers, John

I checked it out on my MPX200 works well. But it is a little heavier on the space. Eats up more spaece in flash and the working area. One noticed advantage is that it improve OTA(Over the Air) response for custom installation from sites thru SMS or direct push.
Hope this helps. But not sure if this is the latest. When we are talking about versions are we talking the build or the operator version?

I checked out the firmware by installing in my MPX200. It works fine. PRobably a bit heavy on the storage, It takes more storage space than 630-012. Only noticed improvement was OTA(Over the Air) response. I installed a few chnages from ATT customization is worked.
I am not sure if this is the latest firmware. If there is a corelation on the firmware image naming then it shouldn't be.
