I finally managed to upgrade my phone to the latest Firmware P320_V4_15_0_V4_10_V1_11_0_WWE
So I figured I it would be helpful to explain how it is done. The first step is to go the the asus site and download the latest firmware for the phone.
http://support.asus.com/download/download.aspx
Select Mobile phones ---> P Series ---> P320 ---> Windows Mobile
In the firmware make sure you download the latest file for your country.
eg. ASUS PDA Phone firmware P320_V4_15_0_V4_10_V1_11_0_WWE only for India, Malaysia, Romania, Bulgaria, Serbia, Lithuania user of English language version
Backup all your files / data / contacts because everything gets wiped clean.
Upgrade procedure:
1. After downloading P320_V4_15_0_V4_10_V1_11_0_WWE.ZIP, please unzip it
2. Please directly copy folder “2577” into the root directory of your micorSD card. Please insert microSD card into P320 after the copy
3. Keep the battery in charge during upgrade procedure
4. Please follow the steps on the phone to upgrade
5. Press and hold Volume Down key (on left side, shown below) and poke reset button (on bottom side), the system will boot up. Then release reset button and continue to hold Volume Down key until the screen shows writing percentage
6. The system will start installation automatically
7. It will re-start when system installation is completed
8. System will start upgrading after touch panel calibration and date/time setting
You should know be on the latest firmware ! Do drop me a line if this worked for you. If your feeling generous you could donate a dollar via paypal :)

I am trying to get a headphone adapter for this phone here in Bangalore, no luck so far any leads anyone on this ?...
ReplyDeleteBasically i wanna use my creative ep-630's instead of the stock handsfree to listen to music....
@Manoj,
ReplyDeleteSo am I, check out at SP road if you have time, its available online but its quite expensive.
Hi Vikram,
ReplyDeleteThanks for your post on Firmware, i have upgraded my p320 to 4.15 ROM
Thanks it worked really well
ReplyDelete@Anonymous
ReplyDeleteThe TFTP USB error could be for various reasons. Have you disconnected the USB cable from the computer ? Please do so, also make sure the 50 MB filename is all in capitals including the extension.
Lastly, copy the file from the 2577 directory and place it in the root directory as well.
Let mek now whether it works out !
This in reference to step no 2 of the firmware upgradation where u have said - "Please directly copy folder “2577” into the root directory of your micorSD card. Please insert microSD card into P320 after the copy" - can you give more clarity on this point. How can I insert the microsd card after copying "2577" file in it??
ReplyDeleteI am facing the same problem as 'Anonymous'... i copied the '2577' file in the root of MicroSD afterwhich the autorun file ran and the installation was done. Post that a messeage appeared saying "to complete installation hold down volume key and with the stylus poke the reset button in the botton" - so i did that and the error came "TFPT USB Download!!! Please insert USB!!!"
ReplyDelete@vihang
ReplyDeleteTry what I have mentioned above.
1. Make sure the filename and extension are in capitals.
2. Copy the file to the root of the SD card.
3. Take out usb cable from the phone while upgrading.
Let me know !
Have upgraded to Windows Mobile 6.5, have blogged about the same here ...
ReplyDeletehttp://p320.blogspot.com/2009/05/asus-p320-windows-mobile-65.html
@ vikram - can you give a step by step process of how to install WM 6.5 into Asus P320.
ReplyDeleteBy the way thnx for the solutions for firmware upgradation, it worked actually was not letting the phone reboot properly ;).
To upgrade from 4.13 to 4.15, I copied 2577 in the root of the card. Also copied the 66 mb file from 2577 to root of the card. Also changed the whole file name to uppercase.BIN. Unplugged the usb cable. Followed the instructions. Still the same stubborn error: TFTP USB DOWNLOAD !!!! Insert USB cable !!!!
ReplyDeletePlease help. I wonder why everyone is not getting this error.
Thanks in advance.

@payal
ReplyDeleteYou don't need to hold for that long, just hold the volume down button and poke the soft reset with your stylus.
If your still having problems try running the exe that came with the download, it copies the file to the right path if you have not done that already but you still need to hold the volume down button. Hope that helps ....

HEY GUYS! IAM NOT ABLE TO INSTALL MICRO SD CARD IN ASUS P527. PLZ HELP!
ReplyDeleteHere are the steps of upgrading your Asus P320 firmware to 4.15:
ReplyDelete1.Download the firmware 4.15 from Asus official website.
2.Format your microsd with FAT file format instead of FAT32 because I use FAT32 and I got this error:
cant find images
cant find galaxy bla bla bla
3.Turn on your phone without memory card inserted. After your phone boot normally, insert the memory card.
4.The system will ask you whether you want to upgrade or not. Click next, and it will start preparing (wait for about 5 minutes).
5.After that, it will ask to hold down the volume down button and poke the reset button.
6.Do as it ask, and the upgrading will started. It tooks about 15-20 minutes to complete.
7.Thats it, your phone now have 4.15 firmware.
8. Thanks to this forum who show me how to upgrade my P320. God bless you all!!!

ReplyDeleteDear All,
ReplyDeleteI bought the Asus P 320 phone yesterday and I am trying to get it to sync with the Mocrosoft exchange server address that was provided by my office to receive emails on my phone. But it does not sync automatically and every time I have to sync manually. The service center says that it will not sync automatically which is not true is my thought. I am on roaming and I do not have the option to check the scheduling updates during roaming. Can someone help me please???

Also keep a copy on the SD card in the 2577 folder. Should work now.
Dear Vikram
ReplyDeletei had tried all the possibilities dat u had said...but it still says the same error as Header_CRC error.....i had kept the 850_GAX_SD.bin and FLASH.bin in the root folder only den it show dis error if i keep this two files in the folder 2577 it show an error Init download fail...
The version i used P320_V4_15_0_V4_10_V1_11_0_WWE indian version..
do please me........
my touch panel is not working please give me reason
ReplyDeleteheader_crc error was resolved finally wen i took my mobile to asus service center it was d software connector is damaged and i need to replace the connector..after paying Rs100 for connector & Rs.500 for software ..
ReplyDeleteDear Vikram,
ReplyDeletemy header crc error is still not resolved after taking it to the service centre previously they said dat it is only the connector problem it will be resolved and now they r saying dat my motherboard has a problem & it need to be changed and price costing is 75% of the new mobile price so what shud i do??
just confirm me does dis kind of error has really damaged my mobiles motherboard is it possible??
please confirm me ASAP..
Dear Kumar,
ReplyDeleteHave seen people losing their IMEI number but even that is now resolvable. Have never come across hardware corruption on this phone due to firmware upgrade.
Its not worth replacing for 75% of the cost IMHO.
All the best ...
my p320 not detecting GSM network after upgrading to 4.15

Hello All,
ReplyDeleteMY ASUS P320 just one fine day stopped , after a battery discharge.Struggled a lot with getting it work with Firmware upgrades and all,but my touch screen is non-responsive totally.I am convinced that ASUS as a company sucks.Every product they make is half cooked ...Laptop sucks,mobile phone super sucker.ASUS should just stop making products and reduce green gas generation and some mental stress of a lot of user.
Hello, I have an Asus P320, it was a Christmas gift, and the firmware is in chinese (CHT). I love it, but there are some problems happening and I think is the firmware - older than the 4.10 version. I would love to upgrade it to the last firmware, but the step 4 "Please follow the steps on the phone to upgrade" will be in chinese and my friend is now living in Taiwan so... could anyone put the step-by-step of step 4 described in here? I searched Google and Youtube but this step is a great mistery to me and I´m afraid of commiting an error because she is not here to save me if I break my PDA...
ReplyDeleteIf you get "Header_crc error" message, check these:
ReplyDelete- format your microSD card to FAT
- make a 2577 folder to the root
- copy the FLASH.BIN to the root
- take out the battery and put it back
- press and hold the Volume Down button and pick the Reset
- keep down the Volume Down while the writing is beginning
i damaged my phone upgrading it! it is was not a good idea.... same problem Header_CRC_Error! guys be carefull!!!!!
