My guide is a step by step mate !! no one one will talk you through it any clearer.......it's tried, tested and proven mate beleilve me, I've flashed loads of images.

Take your time, follow the instructions to the letter and you'll get fixed mate, for sure.

Remember the guide is for IFA 2.2 but I know 2.3 works good too !!

All the best

Sounds like a novice, no offence mate we're here to help.

If I were you you and knew fekk all about dboxes I would download and read some guides freely available from the chatterbox CC toolbar ( google ).

Once you understand m8, my instructins hold good !!

Be very careful here, forget dbox1 coz we aren't talking about them. We're talking about dbox2 here. dbox1 is a completely different animal !!

All nokias are 2x, Sagems can be 1x OR 2x. If you're not sure google a proggy called flash check and run that.

Or u could look in the vents at the top of ur box and look for some chips. If u have 2 intel/ADM chips then u have to use a 2X image. If u have 1 intel/ADM chip then u need a 1X image. The chips will say something like flash intel or ADM on them.
