Tried flashing my v800 to a z800i yesterday, and didn't go very smooth! In fact it went all wrong. Bought 2 credit's for the davinci server. First ten times got the message "block error" , then tried it on an other pc. After a few times it worked. At least the flash ran al the way to the end and finalization, only the phone won't work now. It won't turn on.

What went wrong? And more important how do you recover the phone now. Am not a technical person.

Help needed.

Have you tried contacting Davinci team about the problem? They are normally very good at helping people.

In the first place i want the help of davinci. But i do'nt know how long that will take, so i am seeking other options/sollutions in the mean time.

I make an educated guess and suggest you have a damaged EROM - infact the rom was totally erased and certificate left in the phone.....happenes when erasing blk's fail....

Get a recovery file from davinci download (they are there) flash it without finalization, then perform normal flash........

Because the platform sends bogus messages while charging, that is why!!!..But why this change of heart?..We sense a charger connected, oops, we will not shut down after all!!!..*********************** UI BASIC, HOLD YOUR HORSES

I tried it several times, but kept getting this.

When it finnaly did finish, the phone didn't work!

Oh and i can't use the davinci client anymore. For some reason, it says wrong username or password. I know i used up the two credits, but now i can't even download the recover file. Do i have to buy new credits? I al ready spent 2, and i got my nothing. Or shoot i wait for davinci to respond??

What files are you flashing to the phone?

Usually you would get block not accepted if

a) You are trying to flash CID29 files to a CID36 phone.
b) Your battery is not fully charged or is faulty.
c) You have a faulty flash chip.

most common fault is battery (not charged reasonable / faulty) If you are using DSS station insert charger in station, when client asks you to POWER ON THE PHONE, simply insert it in the DSS station, and it will boot witout need to push the button.

NEED (if possible) QUICK ANSWER!!!

I first tried flashing the:

erom_cid36.bin

did flash all 4 blocks

Tried flashing main and fas: failed (block error)

Tried flashing:

erom_brn36.bin

didn't work: got block error at block 1 of 4

tried flashing main en fs again, and it did finish! main and fs are now flashed (did not mark the finalization)

Now when i boot the phone, i get the configuration error. I know this is supose to happen.

My question is now: Can i finalize now, or should i by worried that the
erom_brn36.bin is not flashed oke?

If oke, and i can finalize the phone, can i only mark the finalization, or shoot i flash main and fas again. Because when i only mark finalization, i get a warning that man and fs file are not selected, continue anayway?

Should i continue anyway?

And finally when the flash works, it works? or can i get faults halfway using the phone, for example mp3's not playing, or something unexpected?

Thanks, hope the phone is ready for ressurection!!!
