ENGINEERING MODE WARNNING to ALL USERS

Hey guys, you will have noticed that your admin has been away for awhile. Both bryce and myself have just gotten into our holidays so we will be spending a lot more time around the site and spending well needed time doing some maintenance work. This site has certainly grown since it's debut last year, and we look forward to seeing it continue to grow over the years.

Also we have 2 n...

We have posted a mini-forum for any other CECT phone models, we will make the consideration of making the CECT P168 Forum a CECT forum, but not in the near future, So all other CECT phone users, go check it out!

With the number of members rapidly increasing, we have decided to put a rules section on the forum, it is located here.

So make sure you read it, to save yourself any hastles.
Thanks Smile

If you screw up a setting in engineering mode and the phone dies, there is a way to fix it with out having to completely reflash the phone. You don't need a flash backup to do this but you still need the flashing cable. In Flash Tools there is a button that says "Format" on the top bar. You click it, and it will come up with a new window. Select "Manual Format FAT" and where it says "Begin Address [Hex]" put "0x00E00000" and under "Format Length [Hex]" put "0x00200000". (That region of the phones memory stores all the settings.) Press "Ok", connect the phone to the cable with the power off and hold down the power button until the red bar goes across the screen. This will COMPLETELY RESET ALL SETTINGS TO FACTORY DEFAULTS. When you turn the phone back on it will go straight into the pen calibration screen. After that, your phone should be brand new.

Engineering mode does have a couple of good uses. I had to disable the 850mhz because my service doesn't use it and it was connecting to it forcing me to be stuck in "Emergency" even when I had reception just because the 850 signal was stronger. I also raised my audio levels for my main speaker and headphones. (Although you can blow the speakers if you go nuts with those settings.)

i bricked my fone today i read your post and i tried your method step by step by my pc keeps on giving usb not recognised ??? please help me im really getting frustrated i have a i9++ sciphone model
