V3i may be a brick

Well ive been having some real trouble with this and im running out of ideas so i turn to you guys for some possible help.

I started off with a V3i non itunes and id converted it to i tunes version RSA removed and ive done a fair bit of modding both easy and hard.

Anyway i was changing my MP and after the flash my phone never rebooted. No error message came up at the time of the flash it just wouldn't turn on. I couldn't power it up in bootloader and when conencted to the PC it was unrecognised.

I was adivsed to open it all up as i did and using the Testpoint bit i got the phone conencted with the PC. I was told that it may be the PDS which is knackered as all Monster packs fail right at the end. I was also told that flashing the RFDI image on might get the flash to successfuly work but the RFDI wont flash on either. I was then advised it might be that there is no bootloader so ive tried to flash one on but the only one i have is .bin format and i cant get it on the phone.

A fellow modder on MOTOX said my only hope was GOT MOTO but as i dont have a paypal account i can't get a user name or password so can't go down that route.

I a bit stuck what to do as i seem to have bits of a jigsaw but can't get it all togeather to work. I can read the PDS form the phone which i have and ive saved that so i dont think thats bust but i just can revive it.

Any ideas?
thanks in advance
Steve

it does sound like a PDS corruption, you can try p2k easy tool 3.9 to repair the PDS, you really have nothing to lose.
BTW, some GOT resellers take regular MC/Visa too.

I have got P2k easy tools and have followed the steps to repair the PDS and put it back on the phone. But im a bit stuck from there.

I cant get on paypal as i dont have a card i can use on the internet.

Thanks for your help

Did you try repairing it on the phone, without downloading it? Make sure to use 3.9 also. Repair > then flash a compatible MP.

Yeh thats what i did. Opened P2K easy tools , did the nessasary Repair PDS let that do its stuff and then flashed but it still fails.

It always fails at the end of the flash where it has to erase something.

Try PDS repair with GOT Moto, it works very well, I have used it several times successfully for PDS repairs.
