The Definitive "How to recover your dead phone" thread

[KenK]

I was at this persons status until I tried Motorola Repair Studio demo.
here is my latest worse status.

In my attempt to repair I am afraid I have made one of them
worse. I ran the demo Motorola Repair Studio and clicked repair.
Now the phone does not even come up (display wise) in boot mode
yet if I hold the #+* power button I can get a "connect" message
with software I use. So all might not be lost at this time.

I am using this phone to learn with so I am not upset with my
results. I was given 2 of these. The other V600 is buggy and
many times I have to remove the battery to fix it. For example
the only way I can tell its charging is I turn it on then connect
the charger I can see the charging indicator. If its off and I plug in
the charger nothing happens.

I am willing to try some drastic things with the other dead phone.

thanks
Ken

I have tried numerous times flashing with a monster pack after setting the phone into boot loader mode. It just won't work for me. I guess I screwed it up pretty bad. :sigh:

Using RSD Lite and holding #+* plus power button I get no display
but it does connect to software. This is what I get with RSD LIte

IMEI/ESN/MEID: N / A

Technology: N / A

Software Version: TRIPLETS_G_0B.09.58R

Flex Version: SE7400AXXXX1C9

Bootloader Version: v0x0007B0

DRM Version: N / A

Phone Type: Production (2A0B0D1106140716AAED00000000)


I messed this phone up worse than when I started because
at one time I could get a bootloader display with #+* plus power
button.

Can someone tell me what I need to do to bring this phone back to
life. Also, if you mention a file I need to load can you tell me
where to find it.

Thanks

hi ya, I'm trying to make a cable for serial connection. So I borrowed this E398 (also works for v60) cable off a friend.

http://pinouts.ru/CellularPhones-A-N...0_pinout.shtml

The 3 pins that I need are TX, RX and GND. Qn is: as long as I short the 4 pins mentioned in that website, I can get communication on 3.3v? Because I'm not sure whether the E398 cable has a USB-RS232 convertor chip built in.

Hello there. Last night my Vivo v3c (flashed to bell) went crazy after an moto software update (soft resetting every 3 seconds). After five re-flashes with diferent firmwares, i found a working on. Here is it:
1-Download ALT_V3c_04.06.00R_PRIhh70919_MONSTER_01.zip
2-Enter flash mode. Connect your phone;
3-Start MultiFlashFlex.exe and select Enable Flash. Find the ALT_V3c_04.06.00R_PRIhh70919_MONSTER_01.shx
4-Start it and wait! you probably will see something like flashing mini boot code and the phone screen my get corrupt like mine got when it is near 80%. Dont worry.
5-When MultiFlashFlex says Successful, click exit and WAIT till your phone reboot automaticaly.
Done. Now you just have to fix the services.

I have a V3i here that a friend recently tried to flash with something (no idea).

When i attempt to turn it on the keypad just flashes for a second

Bootloader states.


"Dual Boot For Motorola V3i By GandjaFuzz & Vilko"
SW Version
R47A_G_08.D8.A1R
Version 3.2

I havent been able to reflash it as the battery dosent appear to change when the AC is plugged in.

Need to charge the battery full then flash it with a RSA remove MP

[JordanMessenger]

Managed to borrow a battery however it refuses to flash



And I am a complete n00b when it comes to Motomoding so you will have to explain what RSA is.

I got my phone to the bootloader mode, but I don't know how to load the flash files to the phone?
Could someone put up a link on either how to do this step by step, or maybe an easier file download?
Would be greatly appreciated....

[jxe63]

what flashing software are you using ? RSD lite ?? Flash Backup ? Moto Kup ?EMail me at jxe63 = at - hotmail

I will help you..

[crl41]

Ok, I kind of figured out how but, not yet. I just download flash and backup 3. But now my phone won't connect to the computer? It pops up with a new hardware installation but it doesn't install.
Also, I can't seem to find the right flash and flex files.

Never done this before so, a little confused.
THanks for any info....

****************************************

Try going to modmymoto, register and search software for driver paskage for the phone. Also search for RSD lite 3.4 or later.. You can then open RSD lite when in flash mode and the additional drivers needed will be installed.. You can then either use RSD lite to reflash your phone, or use F&B3, or a better one named MotoKup2 (from modmymoto), to do the job..

If your still then having troubles but your phone is recognised by your puter, then search for SureGOT or GOTmoto and buy a days usage to their repair files/program to repair your phone.. It'll cost $5.00 for a days membership but is brilliant and worth the money..

Can email me privately at jxe63 - at hotmail for further if you like..

Hey guys,
So i've read through the whole forum, and this is my problem. I flashed my phone and you know its "dead" i did the * # and got it to come back on. But when connecting to the usb port, i get a "unreconzied" device and when i try to load the correct driver its "unable to start". Of course anytime before i it would regconzie fine, but now it will not start etc, so in doing this i can not re flash it because in my rsd lite it does not detect it.

Thank you!

Hey i found a cracked version of Smart-Clip it is Smart clip tool and all the smart moto components work on it ... eg JTAG editing ... reloading your bad boot sector. Not sure on how Cracked verson downloads work on this server some let me know if i will get in trouble for posting but until then pm me and i will get it to you.
