An earlier post in this forum would have me believe that I can't use these headphones wiith my E680 without flashing it. I am unable to flash, so is there anything I can do to be able to use the HT820s?

Are there any other compatible stereo bluetooth 'phones?

the problem is that the default e680 (not i) does not support the bluetooth profile for stereo audio, so it doesn't matter what stereo bluetooh headset you have, i think the phone simply won't support bluetooth stereo audio. there has been work done w/ the bluez stuff (open source bluetooth stack for linux) but you would first have to do some work on the bluez side to get the protocol included, then somehow crack the existing soundmanager so that it knows to use the bluez-version of the stereo audio BT profile.

are you sure you are unable to flash? for what you have i think the only options are to either flash, do a lot of linux hacking, or scrap the desire to listen to stereo audio via bluetooth alltogether.

so to be able to use bluetooth headset for stereo audio, I have to flash my e680 to e680i??

The problem is that my backwater ISP won't let me view the page that shows me how to flash. Can anyone help?

Requirements
1. PST 7.2.3. 7.1.1 will do. Program used to flash the firmware.
2. E680I original firmware. Current available one is the China Mobile Branded E680I firmware.
3. CG33.smg (Optional). This is to enable some scripts eg, startup, usblan etc.
4. Motorola E680. Visit your nearest Motorola dealer if you don't have it.
5. Usb cable. Comes with phone.
6. Loads of guts.


Procedure
1. Install PST into its default folder.
2. Copy the patch file, crack.exe, into PST installation folder and run it.
3. There are more than 1 files to patch, so keep clicking next until done.
4. Extract the firmware, e680i_c3_shx.zip, to a folder of your choice.
5. Put phone to usb modem mode and connect to pc.
6. Run Multiflashflex.exe in PST installation folder.
7. A bunch of drivers will be installed.
8. Select manually install driver and point to PST installation folders. All drivers will then be installed.
9. You should now see your phone in the Device list.
10. In Flash setup, browse to the extracted E680i .shx file.
11. Click start.
12. While flashing, it may try to install more drivers. just point to PST installation folder.
13. At some moment of time, it may look hanged or dead. IT IS NOT! just wait.
14. Optional step: When it says erasing flash..., copy the extracted CG33 and/or other CG files into the same folder as the original .shx.
There will be a series of files there created by PST. Just overwrite the 2 files there. This must be done before erasing flash ends.
15. Depending on whether you choose to use the optional CG files, it will show flash passed or failed. In any case, dont worry. Just exit multiflashflex and plug out cable.
16. Phone will still be in blue screen. just restart it, then master reset and clear just to be sure. default security codes 000000.
17. Enjoy your new firmware.


After flashing, if you did not use CG35, first thing you should install is linloader. it can then be used to enable telnet.

Far out, sounds difficult.

Where do I get PST 7.2.3?

And what is the worst that could possibly happen? Erasure of time & space continuum?

[inijohan]

Sounds difficult indeed ... if you don't try and do it. Seriously, when you try it, it's not as difficult as it sounds. Using PST is quite safe.

Where can I find PST?
