How to flash and install: Here's a video guide from Ionaras13.


You have to flash it as a "full-firmware" and with bootfiles.
Also, keep in mind that you have to set debug level to low and then you can fully use your bada 2.0 beta version. Even turning the phone off will not crash it.
Just type *#33284*# and debug level to LOW, on BADA 2.0 flashed phone and enjoy the Difference.

Troubleshooting hints if errors may happens while flashing.
Only one thing important, when I flash, after the Bootfiles, i've got a serial port error. So I just unplug/plug my Wave to another USB port, and restart Multiloader (et restart the flash without the bootfiles, because they've already been flashed).


- shutdown while in progress => reason is battery low level => charge it then try once more

- phone can't go pass sim loading in booting progress => may be by CSC was not config, may be by flashing improper (ex. choosing wrong file wrong places)

- Try to reboot without sim card inside the phone. If pass, keyin code *#5239870*# , select line 2 , keyin pass *#27236#* and select proper csc region for ur phone.

- Some times phone can be login without sim (while with sim impos.bl) if wrong csc.
