ok will do that..
brb..

BTW which *.ops file did you use??
My guess is that you might have selected Spica.ops file instead of Spica_jc3.ops.
Reflash it again with correct files. That would solve the issue

 

[sachitgul]

BTW which *.ops file did you use??

the one provided in the odin folder...

 

[sriharsha_madineni]

the one provided in the odin folder...

Oops no you shouldn't use that one. That is for old firmwares.

Read Step -1 and step - 6 correctly, You have to use Spica_jc3.ops. Reflash now with Spica_jc3.ops and you are good to go

 

[sachitgul]

U guys r tempting me to go for 2.1
I guess i'l wait for official one.
Scared to loose warranty at d cost of 2.1
I hv done evrythn on my iphone bt dnt knw y
Im gtn skeptical n scared for d 1st tym

 

[kalpik]

Regarding warranty there's nothing to worry, a friend of mine here bricked his spica(he's a complete noob, but still tried to upgrade just to show off ) and even got a replacement. That is not an issue I guess.

Your friend got lucky.. FLASHING TO AN UNOFFICIAL FIRMWARE *WILL* VOID YOUR WARRANTY.

I have been doing this with my Rokr E6, 5800, iPod touch and now Spica. No issues with warranty at all. Once I've even got a service under warranty with HelloOX on 5800

HelloOX is just a program.. Its not an entire firmware.

Once again, to all who are doing this,

FLASHING TO AN UNOFFICIAL FIRMWARE *WILL* VOID YOUR WARRANTY.

Yeah, but I never meant to say that it won't void warranty. All I said was that shouldn't be a worry, since I have seen situations where warranty was provided even for bricked devices.

Not just the above mentioned one, even a friend's iPhone 3G, where in that service center guy himself asked us to un-jailbreak it and get it back for warranty.

But yes as Kalpik said, if you are skeptical about warranty, then skip this and wait for the official release

Nope nothing's gonna happen by removing battery multiple times while in download mode, but don't do this often while the phone is on.

Yeah I donno why, even my network shows up two times, like " TATA DOCOMO TATA DOCOCMO" also I've heard that 2.1 has APN settings issues, my be that is why I am not able to get settings from Docomo. I have to enter it manually now I guess.

 

[sachitgul]

Wow just in three steps cool, Have to try it evening.

About that wrong *.ops file, it doesn't even, matter since you reflashed it with correct one.

Check this out, spica can be used as webcam
