To be honest with you, if you don't know already what they are talking about it probably won't do any good. I have some background in programming and I still would be on shaky ground.

Sorry to be so curt, these are the files that update the phone from one firmware to another.

bogus? Bleh....

Ive reflash my current firmware MULTIPLE times with these(IE you can do BH29 on top of BH29 with no issues). I will attempt to record the process or something..

They are defiantly not bogus.

I think people were hoping to crack the secret LCDUI code. Why would you want to do a reflash when a hard reset will do something similar?

I can see some people replying have no clue what these files are or what we are talking about.

I myself cannot decrypt the firmware/bin or even modify it at all. Im simply saying these are the BIN files used to flash/update your device. These are OTA bin files/firmware.

Anyone can test without and real changes to the device(IE: you place 2 files on your phone. I use QPST file explorer) then reboot.

Once booted your phone will show a message CRITICAL update CANCEL / INSTALL

Installing just simply reinitialize/updates the device.

Files Included:

fumo_data.dat(file tells the device to FLASH[IE a bin is there alert the user])
http://rapidshare.com/files/152885886/fumo_data.dat.html

fumo_flash.bin (BH29)
http://rapidshare.com/files/152885887/fumo_flash.bin.html

Files to be placed in folder(I backed my fumo_data.dat up never needed it but always safe):
brew/mod/omadm

After copying files. I unplug the USB. Power off/on the phone.

Firmware Update

New software is ready to be installed.

critical issues

This will take 2 minutes to install. You will not be able to make or receive calls during this time.
Even emergency calls.

CANCEL / INSTALL

You can press cancel, remove the files and be back to normal(place your backed up fumo_data.dat back).

This just proves that the 2 people above claiming these are bogus are bogus.

I dont waste my time or others(please don't either).

Here are the fumo - BE06 to BF30 files for people that still have not done(or been able to)update yet.

PLEASE always make sure your battery is charged if your going to press install/update(as the device cannot stat the battery status and will just die mid update and you will be SOL[this is the same even if you were doing the update regularly]).

fumo_data.dat(file tells the device to FLASH[IE a bin is there alert the user])
http://rapidshare.com/files/152887019/fumo_data.dat.html

fumo_flash.bin (BF30)
http://rapidshare.com/files/152887021/fumo_flash.bin.html

When you flash, does it erase your contacts and stuff?

EDIT:
Everybody, i risked it, and it didnt work. i tried going from BH29 to BH30. Didnt break my phone, thank god.

why would you want to go down a firmware upgrade?
first everyone is mad because sprint delays the update then you guys are mad that you can downgrade your firmware?
what a shame

I have to say, that is a good point! I think that some people had more problems after the updates. It's kind of a XP vs Vista thing. Sometimes the programmers think they are improving the program but they aren't for everyone.

The way I see it, if people want to downgrade their phone Mazel Tov!
