Another Cheap Android Phone - £79.99

Thats the Samfirmware one which should be identical to the one I gave Andrew

The one I downloaded from your link Dave was 135MB, the Samfirmware one appears smaller?

It will be just a different compression ratio, I checked, they are identical.

So.......... we wait for your R&D chap

Since it's raining, I tried bloggs Samfirmware JPQ version as he appears to have had success but same as before. It seemed to install OK but I was left with 'Samsung' on the display gently pulsing in brightness. Left it for 15 mins but nothing more happened so it's flashed back to 2.1, again

Andrew, out of interest, is that your original handset or the other jpm one?

[andrewW]

It's the one I originally bought from CPW and flashed to JPM Froyo myself. Then flashed it back to Eclair (three times now )

Youre getting too good at this flashing lark, be after my old job next!

Ive had a think about this overnight..... Can you please try downloading and flashing the one from "samfirmware.com" and see if it works. There is a small chance the one I uploaded for you is corrupt, not likely but possible.

Give it a go and let me know how you get on.

UPDATE: Heres a link to the flash pack with the bootloaders removed. If odin says there is an error when you connect the handset dont flash it!

My last attempt was using the Samfirmware version from that link bloggs posted yesterday.

Call the local council in to do it

You must be joking, I have to bribe them to empty my dustbins!!!

However, just flashed your latest version, it appeared to install OK (after 6 mins 23 secs), pass on Odin and then just Samsung on the display. The Apollo wouldn't start up until I held the power button, it then restarted with the animated logo and music, 'Samsung' appears on the display, pulses three times and then nothing. I can get back into download mode though
