Samsung SGH-F488



The Samsung SGH-F488 is the Hong Kong exclusive version of the SGH-F480 branded to Anycall.

Feature and cosmetics wise, it's nearly identical to the F480 except for Pinyin typing support as well as some other extras in terms of input.

PC Connection
Officially, the phone works with Samsung PC Studio to sync data such as contacts, photos, videos, and more. This doesn't allow you to install Java apps, but there is a piece of software that lets you do this.

TKFileExplorer views the EFS of the phone, and using this program you can put Java apps on the phone without needing a SIM card with service installed.

Once you have the .jad and .jar file for a Java app inside the correct folder, dial *#6984125*# to get into the "Admin Setting" menu. After that, go to "Internals" and type *#9072641*# for the master key.

Go to "Storage Settings" and then press "Update Java DB". If you did everything right, the Java apps you installed should now show up!

Firmware
Multiple firmware versions have been dumped, but all except one are only hosted on paywalled sites.

Currently, F488ZHIC2 is the one available for download.
