First of all, I'll start with a warning: FLASHING THE D500 WILL VOID YOUR WARRANTY AND IS
COMPLETELY AT OWN RISK!
Beneath are the things you need to flash the Samsung
D500:
A
Samsung D500 Flash cable (not the Data cable!)
A 9
Volt Battery for the Flash cable
The
Corona-Downloader > available in misc-section
II. Backup Guide
First thing you need to do is make a backup of your own
firmware, so that in case the flashing of the new
firmware fails, you can still flash your old firmware
back. Now let's get started.
Connect the flash cable at a COM-Port on the back of
your computer.
(Check your settings of the COM-Port at the Hardware
Settings, the Baud-setting must be at 115200)
Conect a 9 Volt Battery on the Flash Cable.
Remove your Sim-Card from the phone and put the
battery back.
Please note: The battery must be completely loaded
before the flashing process!

Start the Corona-Downloader, choose the COM-Port
(1) where you have mounted the flash cable on and
select 115200 at Serial-Port (2).
Click on START (3) in Corona-Downloader. "POWER
ON the PHONE" should come up in the window. Now push
the Power-Button on your Phone, and start up your
phone like you normally do it. Now something should be
happening in the window of Corona-Downloader as it's
searching the settings of the phone. This takes about
30 seconds.
Push
Explorer at NAND Flash Operation (4). A new
Window comes up. Here, you choose NAND Full Dump.
Another window comes up. Choose a place on your hard
disk where you would like the Backup to be saved, and
then choose a name for the file. Click save and the
backup should now begin. It takes up to 2,5 Hours and
the Backup-File will be around 130 MB.
III. Flashing Guide
For
the flashing process it's almost the same as the backup
guide so this'll be easy
Connect the flash cable at a COM-Port on the back of
your computer.
(Check your settings of the COM-Port at the Hardware
Settings, the Baud-setting must be at 115200)
Connect a 9 Volt Battery on the Flash Cable.
Remove your Sim-Card from the phone and put the
battery back.
Please note: The battery must be completely loaded
before the flashing process!

(1) where you have mounted the flash cable on and
select 115200 at Serial-Port (2).
Click on START (3) in Corona-Downloader. "POWER
ON the PHONE" should come up in the window. Now push
the Power-Button on your Phone, and start up your
phone like you normally do it. Now something should be
happening in the window of Corona-Downloader as it's
searching the settings of the phone. This takes about
30 seconds.
Select BIN+TFS (4) at Corona-Downloader. Now
search for the BIN (5) and TFS (6) on
your hard disk. Once you're ready to start flashing,
click on Download (7). The Flashing now begins.
Flashing the BIN takes normally 35 Min. and the TFS
takes 53 Min., that means 1,5 Hours in total. Once
finished, a "Download Complete" message appears on
your screen .
After you have flashed the phone you can remove the
flash cable. Then insert the SIM-Card and start your
phone for testing.
Once you started your phone, you can use the code
*#1234# to check if the new firmware is correctly
installed.
Photos, Ringtones, pictures, videos and mp3"s remain on
the phone and the IMEI also remains the same.
Good Luck.
