- 4. RELEASE NOTES
- -------------------------
- 1. Supports Universal codeplug structures 11.00 - 16.00.
- 2. Supports all i1000 codeplug structures up to 04.00.
- 3. Supports plus phone codeplug structures up to 04.00 - 0C.06.
- 4. Supports i85s based codeplug structure 10.00 - 1A.0A
- 5. CompanionPro checks for phone software and phone codeplug
- compatibility before writing codeplug to a phone. If phone
- software and phone codeplug are incompatible, CompanionPro undoes some
- codeplug changes and changes codeplug version to the one that is
- compatible with the current phone software. A message in this
- regards is also shown if incompatibility is detected. E.g.For
- i1000 phone software version R18.02.00 or greater needs codeplug
- version 03.07 or greater. While writing codeplug to i1000 if
- CompanionPro detects that the phone software is lower than R18.02.00 then
- it undoes the 03.07 changes and sets the codeplug version to
- 03.06.
- 6. A backup codeplug file is created called "<serial>.dbf" in the
- CompanionPro directory during the write cp function and the update
- function. If the write codeplug function is interrupted and the radio
- does not operate correctly the backup file can be loaded into
- CompanionPro and written to the phone to fix the phone.
- 7. There is a feature added called "Recover Phone". A toolbar
- button and a menu item in the "Tools" menu called "Recover wizard"
- have been added. With this new feature, every codeplug is saved
- before writing it to a phone in a backup directory. If "Write
- Phone" or "Write phone partial" functions fail and cause
- "SELF CHECK FAIL 0800" or "SELF CHECK FAIL F4000" error then
- this new function can be used to fix the phone codeplug using the
- codeplug backed up by CompanionPro in the backup directory.
