Today I have a Samsung Wave GT-S8500 on my hands. I am running Windows 8 and have the latest Samsung Kies installed. Still, I had a lot of trouble so I thought I'd share my experience. Here's what you need.
1. These drivers.
2. Multiloader v5.67
3. Bada update 1.2 for your country.
4. Bada update 2.0 for your country or the default one.
Note: You can donwload the updates from SamMobile.
After you have all the files and have installed the drivers, here is how to install an update:
0. Connect your phone in Download mode. To boot into download mode, turn it off, take out and reinsert the battery, keep pressing the volume down and camera button and turn it on with the power/ end call button (all three buttons should be pressed till you see the download mode).
1. Extract the relevant update.
2. Open Multiloader. It should show a COM port as ready. If it doesn't you are either not in download mode or you are missing drivers.
3. Select LSI.
4. Check Boot change and Full donwload.
5. Click Boot and select the BOOTFILES folder.
6. Click AMS and select amss.bin file that is located on your BOOTFILES folder and same goes to the following.
7. Click Apps and select apps_compressed.bin file.
8. Click Rsrc1 and select Rsrc_ Open_Europe_Common.rc1 file
9. Click Rsrc2 and select Rsrc2_ (Low/Mid).rc2 file
10. Click Factory FS and select FactoryFs_ Open_Europe_Slav.ffs file
11. Click CSC and select S8500XXXXX.csc file
12. Click SHP APP and select ShpApp.app file
13. Click FOTA and select .fota file
14. Click Download and wait for reboot.
You phone will reboot into the version of bada installed. Enjoy!
Note: If you use the Default Bada 2.0 given above, it boots into German language. To change the language, follow these steps-
