Appendix B: Flashing Software into 7190 MS
Make sure you flash a different software version into the phone; otherwise, this proce-
dure will not work. That is, if you have 3.12 SW now, you cannot flash 3.12 SW back into
the phone. You must first flash another SW, such as 3.11 then 3.12.
DO NOT FLASH A PHONE WHEN A BATTERY CHARGER IS PLUGGED INTO THE
PHONE!
If you want to save your phone settings, then run WinTesla. Select Dealer -> User Set-
tings & Data Transfer menu. Select the items you desire to back up and make note of
which ones you select. You will need to identify only those items you selected when
restoring the settings!
1. Make sure the SIM card is not installed. Power on the phone. You should see "Insert
SIM card" on the phone display.
2. Run WinTesla (c:\WinTesla\WinTesla.exe).
3. Select Product -> New. The phone should reset amd the WinTesla panel should change
to a white background. There will now be a Dealer menu item. The Dealer menu should
contain about eight items. If only the Flash menu item is visible, then the connection to
the phone may be wrong or the phone is dead. Perhaps there is a corrupted flash image,
or Palm pilot has the com port....
4. Select Dealer -> Flash Phone to see the "Flash Phone" dialog box. Select the desired
Market Area <last used is defaulted>, MCU Image, and PPM files. Click the Flash com-
mand button to continue. The "Version in ME" is read from the phone while "Version in
File" is read from the MCU image file (*.fps file).
5. Having clicked the Flash command button, the "Flash Phone" dialog box message "Do
you want to save user settings to file?" appears. This gives you the opportunity to back
up the user data. This process takes awhile but it is advised if you have the time. I'll
assume no at this time...
6. The "Flash Phone" dialog box will display to inform you about the number of flash
licenses that remain. If you are below the default limit of 100, you must register the
FLS2-D with Melbourne, FL to get additional licenses. If you haven't already done so,
read the paperwork and fax the registration in! Then pressing the OK button.
7. The "Flash” dialog box displays and asks you to power on the phone. A momentary
push is all that is needed. You have 30 seconds to accomplish the power-on step. Hav-
ing sensed the power-on cycle, the flash process begins, erasing memory, downloading
the MCU and PPM software, and finally validating the downloaded SW. When the down-
load is complete, a dialog box appears, requesting you to once again power-on the
phone.
8. Wait for the upper 2Mb erase to complete its task. You should hear an approximately
1 second tone (beginning about 20 seconds after powering up the phone), followed by a
