Firmware update

  • Switch off your phone.

  • Start the GSM update GDP06i software on your computer.
  • Press and hold the “6” button on the phone. Keep the button pressed and connect the USB cable to the USB 2.0 port of your computer. For a while text “number 4000” can be seen on the screen of your phone. Wait until you hear the beep and then release the “6” button.
  • It can take up to 2 minutes until the phone is detected and update starts. If the phone is not detected within 2 minutes, please enter the code *##00# on the phone’s keyboard.
  • The updating process is slow. Be patient, do not interrupt it.
  • Successful completion of the update will be announced by the software. Now you please disconnect the USB cable.
  • Switch off the phone (the process may take unusually longer – its normal).
  • Switch on the phone and enter *#06# code on the keyboard to check the firmware version. The third line on the screen should read GSM 11.652.78.00.00.
