Freakish in the fact that the p168 only offers the two options of either usb or webcam. As far as I know the manufacturer has never released a driver for windows to see the phone as a phone, just a mass storage device. The original fw would have been interesting to compare with what we all have as standard fw.

Oh sorry my laptop only saw it as those two things also. I misunderstood what you were asking. I added the drivers before for some thing about using PhoneTools over the USB cable so they were there before I ever tried to use Superman.

OK then what software "Phone Tools" are you using? If the drivers you installed are able to open a com port to communicate with the phone, this is still possibably good news.

I used this firmware above for the p168c a few minutes ago. I used the flashtool 4.10 and now my p168+ looks like the 168c! I love it even more! I had tried the first version here of the p168c that tdink supplied but for some reason it didn't work for me. I downloaded the above version. It had more files and took longer to load but it worked for me. I still can use the tmobile older sim card but haven't gotten the att 3g to work yet. Still working on it.

Thanks Admin, tdink and everyone involved in this forum! I am almost there! Almost got my problem licked! This is a great forum!

I think virdri already posted this link earlier in this same post. This is the same version I am running that does not see my ATT 3g card and it does not see my T-Mobile card either. I have a nice Ipod Touch LOL. ANyway. I am still trying to get my sims to work with this. Also my camera does not like this code either.

Hi there! Yes, I knew it was posted earlier. That is where I got it. I only wanted to let others know that if the first one doesn't work to try this one. It did work for me.

My older Tmobile sim works fine. The games work fine, camera and all work fine. Only thing that doesn't work is the 3g sim but it wouldn't work before either. Now I have a new look and the touch screen is fantastic!

I don't know why the earlier firmware for the p168c didn't work but I never could get it too. This last one worked the first time I tried it.

If you get any answers to your problems, please post. Thanks for your reply!

Well hey there stranger!

Glad the other firmware worked !! finally.

we can now confirm that it is possible to reflash firmware on the "+"

I will edit the post to make sure this file is the good one

can you tell me how you updated your phone p168+ to the new p168c firmwere

hmmm that sounds interesting, i better get me a cable then.

Thanks for that judee, i will make a tutorial on what you have told us, and i will give all thanks to you

Hi Judee funtastic news, does this firmware supports JAVA? hope i can soon start my first application for P168+. Thanks and keep all the good working.

I feel like a broken record lately...


No java on P168 phone.

until a homebrew firmware comes along.
