Here you go mate:

I have downloaded the file so the links working, if its down by the time you get round to downloading let me know i'll put it up somewhere.
BTW, z500buef5 was the sw I had initially on my z500v, and the only thing I can see that you will lose when you try another sw (i.e rexnets unbranded one) is the ability to have/change themes, other then that though, the vodafone sw is quite ugly, I don't see why you would go back

This message is just a goff up pushed on the roung button!! Dahooooo!!!

thanks. I'm downloading the file right now...

I have also an other question. There is no bootloader file in the Z500BUEF5 firmware that I have. Is it possible to use the bootloader of an other firmware?
If no, does somebody have this bootloader file for me....

You don't need to update "USB boot" and "Bootloader".

does anyone know how to edit the firmware so i can add my own java games to the file? or a work around to get java games working without paying to download them of a wap site.

it wont let me download the firmware. it says invalid referrer

You can try using Z500CVEG1 but it is a bit older than Z500BVEG3 (orange / tim) yet lot less branded.
