This is the basic guide to convert your E398 to ROKR E1 so that you get many features such as Video recording, Corelets support, AAC audio support, Quad band, Voice record, Java on memory card etc etc on your E398..

Thanks to Sam for the guide.

   - The 42R_FOR_ALL full MP can be downloaded from HERE HERE   or HERE

   - There is no need to fix the iTunes issue. Just flash a new Monster Pack after flashing the 42R_FOR_ALL. Monster Packs can be downloaded from HERE

   - If you cant find PST anywhere,you can use FLASH BACKUP for flashing..

   - 4XR (esp. 42R,46R,49R) are the best firmwares for your e398 in terms of sound and battery life eventhough they do not have unimited video recording as in the case of 6FR and 7XR. Now we have unlimited video recording on elektro255's modded 46R firmware,but its not stable yet.

   - Please always do backups before flashing.None other than yourself is responsible for any damage that occurs on your phone

You can actually flash many monster packs directly without 42_for_all... but it is always safer to stick to the official tutorial

How come,bro? Dont we have to convert R372 to R373 before flashing other MPs?

[Exploited]

CG7 makes the conversion. If the Monster Pack contains it - your phone will convert

I usually flash this: http://www.e398mod.com/content/view/65/30/ (CG7 only) for safety (haha it actually kills your phone, so I can't say "safety") and then flash MP

[Jithin]

But that cg7 only did not work for me.. Also there were many from M3 and MoMo saying that the phone still remained on r372 after flashing cg7 only..

After successful flash it is supposed to actually "kill" your phone.

CG7 only (1st flash) + R373 Monster Pack (2nd flash) will convert from R372 to R373

If your phone detected by FB, you can flash it to another MP. Or you can Forcedboot your phone.
