Title: what are the patches?
Post by: oMeRs on January 11, 2008, 06:30:52 am

Yes,Those are files having *.fpa extension which on patching will make some changes on the  phone's firmware so that a new feature or some changes in the existing features occur. There are lots of patches available now. for example,patching your phone with 320 kbps.fpa patch will allow you to play songs of bitrates upto 320 kbps :)
See the "New patches" thread for more details on how to patch and download patches..

some codes to be aplied to your phones, so your phone could have soe feature which it doesn't has in the past. For exp. patch to make your delivery report setting as default (you can make it stand on ON conditions or OFF conditions).
Try it, of course, make back up first and make sure you use right patch for your FW.

@prasasti : if you want to create a patch, you had to understand the machine language, it's mean which you have to learn asembly or VHDL first to understood the run of the programe inside your phone (the CGs). If you already understood bout asembly language, you can read the programe by using XVi32. We all learning , but still too hard to understand (but not for some mastas may be).

Not many know ASM...Its one of the hardest programming languages...BUT elektro knew it perfectly..! Some russians know it,too... Khizer can recognise some stuff in CG1 also...
Not me, i dont know anything :-|

wish elektro share lil bit of his knowledge

Hmm, learning ASM.....
Thats look hard, and so Russian language.


Title: Re: what are the patches?
Post by: nalimen on January 14, 2008, 01:25:01 am
you only need to learn ASM, you don't have too learn russian lang. to learn creating a patch.


Title: Re: what are the patches?
Post by: prasasti on January 14, 2008, 02:42:15 am
Yes, I know that. Both of them are not related at all.
We know that most patch we use has description in Russian, also elf and many others.
So if there is a tutor out there, it should be in Russian.
Its really hard.

lol You can google for sites that have tutorials about ASM... I found some once..
Russians have always been good hackers :D

I only know 8086 assembly language programming.. But I dunno if it has anything to do with this.. :)

i'm sure there are many tutor about ASM which not on Russian, but i don't know about is there any creating patch tutor which not on Russian.
