How to flash your Wave with Bada 2.0
Almost a year ago Bada 2.0 beta was released. Samsung never really released an installer so, instead the user has to manually flash the firmware on to their phone. Flashing is a very risky procedure and the slightest mistake could ruin your phone AND void your warranty. I nearly lost my own phone when I flashed it so, I am writing this article to help others flash their phones correctly.
First of all, not all waves can be flashed due to memory problems so if you have any of the earlier models chances are you can’t flash your phone.
What you will need:
- Multiloader v5.62 or v5.65 (these versions worked for me)
- The respective firmware edition for your phone, available at www.sammobile.com
- A Samsung Wave phone
First dial the following code:
*#7465625#
Make sure that Sim Lock and Network Lock are OFF, if they are ON then you can NOT flash your phone
Next, make sure that your phone is charged, the flashing process will drain about 20% of the battery and if the power runs low when flashing you might brick your device
If both Sim and Network Lock are OFF and your phone is charged, then you are ready to begin!
- Backup all the stuff on your memory card before you begin
- Turn your phone OFF and remove the MicroSD and SIM cards
- Connect your phone to your computer
- While the phone is OFF, press Volume down,Lock key and Camera key at the same time until an icon appears on your phone
- Launch Multiloader
- Make sure that Boot Change and Full Download are checked
- Make sure that BRCM2153 is selected
- Choose all the files that are in the firmware
9. Click on Port search
10.Click on Download
11.WAIT!
12. The transfer should be complete, you should get a message telling you that the transfer is complete
Restart your phone and voila! you have Bada 2.0 on your device.
NOTE: If the transfer gives you an error, then DO NOT worry, just restart your computer as long as you DO NOT use your phone in between you should be fine
I am NOT responsible for any damage done, Flash YOUR phone at YOUR own risk
DO NOT operate your phone during the process, do not even touch the screen!
Stop with these useless topics please, moar vita newz
yup suck OS .. why care about it, if there’s Android 😛
Who do you think you are? 🙂
It’s not “useless”. Believe it or not, there’s actually people who like to hear about other hacking scenes. This isn’t just a blog about the Vita. If you don’t care for these kinds of blogs, then don’t read it. It’s as simple as that.
Not everything is going to be about Vita -.-” Other users find these information very useful.
tbh i havent even heard of a samsung wave or bada before…
^this.
Not that I’m against it, but maybe some stuff that would apply to more people?
Fair enough. We wanted to talk about something outside of the typical sony boundaries, but I agree in hindsight that this is a bit too far from the core topics of this blog.
This is wololo’s blog, everything he wants to write (or others write) is to be taken into account.
Nowhere it says this is a “vita blog”.
You big babies crying all over the place should be banned.
Wololo didn’t write this derp
He also included the fact that others also can write things on his blog. Did you just see the first part of the first sentence and go, “Nope, that’s *** wrong” and decided to argue with what he was saying? I’m going to bring back the term “r-tard” just for you.
i hope sony bans your IP from theyre servers. youre an ungreatful little brat that doesnt know *** about the vita or this blog. ive been a member her since the psp days. this blog is about anything people want to post, not just pointless vita news.so you can *** off.
yeah Wololo realizes his blog is built on a vita community base.. we come here because it’s the best source for vita news.
MOARRR VVVEEEEEEEEEEETAAAAAAAA
are you that ignorant to where you think you know what wololo thinks and realizes? get your head out of your ***.
I say write what you want. keep the tech news commin
Thanks for the article. I don’t have a wave or know what it is but I enjoy every techie article that is posted on this blog.
Keep up the good work to all those involved in these articles.
i agree. its nice to read about anything i have no knowledge of. nice read.
You people demanding vita news please stop.
I have no clue what a wave is either.
Doesn’t matter knowledge is power.
You don’t like what you read go elsewhere!
This site is nothing without vita newz, no vita newz>no newz
If there is no vita news you cant post them.
I like the idea that we have more hacking stuff in this “blog”
I say MORE TECHIE STUFF! I love reading about all things technology!
will this allows me to switch to an android Os?
You should put up a guide on how to dual boot android on Wave as well.
Wait…. something isn’t right here, agreement months ago Wololo posted a blog about urbanix and another ps minI which was a “hint” to us to get it, but none of us knew it was an exploitable game until last month…this bada *** might be a way to install user mode vita apps or ps3 related hack, why else would he post this trash if it wouldn’t be useful 🙂
What is bada? It never really tells us, I Lt says a firmware, but it vague. because of some choice words i assume it has to do with android, but it wasn’t once mentioned… I try to keep pretty current with the android scene, and I’ve never heard of bada, ever. this article was a bit out there in terms of whats usually posted on here.
It’s an OS especially made for Samsung Phones (Not Android Types).
