Guide: Samsung Tocco Firmware Flash – part 1
General Info: Flashing your Samsung Tocco will delete all personal files, contacts, messages & info saved to the phone memory, & all settings will revert to factory defaults! Everything you wish to restore should be backed up, either to memory card or via Samsung PC Studio (not needed for flashing) before you begin the process & then remove the memory card from the phone.
The Firmware supplied in the link below is an original open (all networks) European Samsung copy that I have found to be reliable and better than the vodafone branded version my handset came with, Network setting were (in my case at least) retrieved from the sim card once it was replaced in the phone. You can check your current firmware version by typing *#1234# in the dialing screen – make a note of it, just in case you wish to find a copy for restoration later.

Disclaimer: You can’t “back-up” the firmware on Samsung Tocco, so you won’t be able to revert to your previous firmware unless you find a copy on the net! don’t start unless you’re sure you want to go through with the flash. I will not be held responsible if you brick your phone or lose network specific settings – you do this entirely at your own risk. If the above scares you, stop now.
Download: Download Multiloader V5.33 from MultiLoader_V5.33.exe – 0.09MB & the Firmware F480XEHL2 (December ’08) from F480XEHL2.zip – 55.49MB & save to a location you won’t forget. Both files have been scanned for virus’ & trojans using up-to-date versions of Avast & A-Squared before uploading, but for peace of mind you should probably scan them yourself once downloaded using updated definitions. Unzip the firmware file to its own folder! Inside that folder you should find two others -: 1.BIN & 2.BOOTFILES
Preping: I will assume that your supplied USB cable actually works with your PC – If you don’t already know, nows the time to find out by testing the connection! Once you’re sure it works you can remove the memory & sim cards, then replace the battery, but don’t turn the phone on yet.
