recovering ROKR Z6m

I bricked my Z6m. It boots to the moto logo, then the screen corrupts and it reboots. I can get into reflash mode, all I need is a monster alltel firmware, or one that will at least let me use my phone on the alltel network. If someone could provide this I would be eternally grateful.

There is no Alltel Z6m monster file yet. The only Z6m monster's I've seen are Verizon (Z6tv) and I thought I saw one for U.S. Cellular. You could try to get one of those flashed, so at least your phone would work, until the Alltel Z6m flash gets leaked.

the uscellular was an upgrade, and the z6tv screen driver didn't seem to load - I could boot, change ringer volume, press buttons, dial calls... no screen output and the phone wasn't activated because of the reflash so I couldn't do anything really. took it back and got a replacement... bringing me to another question:

can I create a monster alltel image from my new, totally working phone? to help the community and whatnot?

Not at this point; we don't have the resources to create working flashes from our phones. Thanks for wanting to help out, though! A lot of people really appreciate it; we need more folks like you around the forum!

Well, thanks! I'm going to be watching the z6m scene a bit, I'll see if I can help out. A few questions though:

How are the flash files captured? Are they leaked, or has one ever successfully been "read" from a phone? If that's not possible, why not?

I'm interested in enabling java on my phone, and I have been trying to flex it... trouble is, the only app I've gotten to connect is p2k tools, and only in flash recover mode, and all it does is connect, I can't do anything. It'd be great if I could get like PST or something like P2K commander to load, but none of these see my phone. am I doing something wrong? I've tried all of them in modem mode, in mass storage mode, in flash mode (star+hash+power on)... nothing works... maybe this phone is just too new, I don't know...

Would the locations in the flex to change options be the same for this phone as a razr v3c for instance? or are they phone specific?

how did you get into the reflash mode? I have a Z6m which has the same problem as yours, but I can not get into the reflash mode to flash it. please help me, thanks.

I was considering flashing my MetroPCS Z6M to Verizons Z6TV. If I do that will I still be able to use it on Metro and will the ESN stay the same or will I have to go through a bunch of BS to get the phone turned back on?

no everything will stay the same as far as the ESN, but you'll have to manually program your phone number and etc back into the phone, and picutre messaging/web will not work properly.

but i have to ask, why on earth would you want to run verizon's god awful user interface?

hold star and pound and turn the phone on boot loader mode show connect usb and reflash phone with pst.
