Hey guys, stop saying that flashing cannot not be done by yourselves. I know that many people have done this before, but they didn't show up it esato. Anyway, just want to tell you guys that i really done it by myself, successfully.

ericsclient.
I do not need any expensive flashing hardware, such as service card, hardlock......I just used a T28 flashing cable, and a flash file. everything goes fine. But remember, if you flash by this way, unlock your phone first. My case is that, after flashing , it says that my sim card is incorrect. Then I unlocking it immediately, and the problem is solved.

I AM NOT JOKING!!!
I REALLY FLASHED IT. If you have no evidence, pls don't blame on me.
Well, you can find the flash file in http://www.alfamobil.cz/support.htm If you want to have the safest flashing, split the flash file into 2 by ez-split, which can be found on http://download.com.com/3000-2248-873361.html?tag=lst-0-1 . split it with 8MB and 2 MB, 8MB come first, and name it to be AVR.bin, and the other one to be ARM.bin
Everything is easy, just use the ericsclient, follow the instruction in http://www.gsmhacking.com.ua/using_tips.php?id=18 . Note that don't disconnect the phone after flashing AVR, this will decrese one more credit. Flashing takes about 20 min, for my AMD 1800+ cpu.
Everything is ok, just note that the phone should be unlocked first, otherwise you will not be able to turn on the phone. It will ask you to "insert the correct sim".
You can ask me any information, but pls DON'T BLAME ON ME WITHOUT EVIDENCE!!!

this has been discussed before... that update system is not free... but if you go to a servicepoint it's free... why waist money on something that's free?

Also, flashing by ericsclient can do some that emma2 can't.
It can flash a T68m or T68i to T68ie or T68mc. That is, for somebody how are using english version, you can definitely upgrade it to chinese T9 version.
Also, it support downgrade...it is good for somebody who is dissatisfy with the latest version
Furthermore, even the flash for T68m mmc is not released on emmaII, we can still use the flash file of T68i to flash the T68m. Because actually the flash file is the same, only the IMEI of T68m makes the emmaII server denied the flashing for it.

I DO NOT need the hardlock nor the service card. I only need the flash cable, which is very cheap, at about $13

About the cable, you can get it from www.logosunlimited.com. You can buy the logger program credit there, and download the program there. but I prefer you buy credits from www.unlocking.co.uk, it is much cheaper over there. About the flash, i've already provided the link in the above post.
btw, you are living in england right? why don't you flash it in SE? it is much safer. Flashing by yourself will still cost 5GBP, which is the costs of 1 credit from www.unlocking.co.uk.
