HUWAEI NEW C5589 UNLOCKING

C5100 / C5589 SD Card Update Guide

(1) Prepare a new SD card which must have been formatted to FAT32 or

FAT16.

(2) Copy the manifest file, APP bin file, and brew, nvm, setting folders to SD

root directory.

(3) After upgrade, four new folders ’pic.video.music.others’ will be created

in SD card, and we do not need to take care of that. Another upgrade log file

is also created in SD boot directory which records the upgrade information,

and the log file may be useful for finding the reason why upgrade fails.

(4) Make sure the battery has enough energy (no less than two levels).

SD Card Upgrade

Two Upgrade Methods

(1) Engineering menu download: This method is used for the handset which can

power on normally.

(2) Force download: This method is used for the handset which cannot power on

normally.

Engineering Menu Download

(1) Insert the SD card within upgrade files;

(2) Input ##497613 in idle mode, then press ‘send’, select ‘SD Download’ and

press ‘ok’;

(3) In APP download, the download rate is displayed in LCD, and the upgrade

fails if the information “APP Dload Failed!” is displayed.

(4) After APP download (about 5 minutes), the handset will be reset

automatically, and parameter files download starts. The name of

downloading file will be displayed in LCD; the upgrade fails if the information

........:

2009-1-8 .......,......2., .2.

“Param Dload Failed!” is displayed. If the upgrade is succeeded, the handset

will be reset.

(5) In idle mode, Input ##497613 and press ‘send’, select ‘S/W version’, make

sure the version is identical to “HUAWEI C5100 .......”.

Force Download

If the handset cannot power on normally, force download can be used in two

ways:

(1) Insert a battery (if the LCD glints, take out the battery for 5 seconds, then

insert it again), hold pressing the keys ‘9’ and hit the key ‘power’ (please do

not hold pressing this key). The force download will start, and the upgrade

process is similar to engineering menu download.

(2) If the handset has not a battery, hold pressing the keys ‘9’and insert the

charger, the force download will start too. We suggest use this way to start

force download.

Upgrade Failed

(1) If SD card initialize failed, check the SD card, make sure it’s a good card, and

the handset support SD upgrade;

(2) If file open failed, make sure all upgrade files are copied to the SD boot

directory.
