hi,

Maybe you can try to flash it with a 2,00 mb backup. You can do this with reading the phone v 4.18 from 00200000-00400000. But make sure the phone you read with is without lock!!
( I had some troubles with unlocking after I flahed it with a Full backup 2,00 mb with lock)

Good luck

flashing from 200,000 to 400,000 would overwrite the imei rendering the phone useless isnt it?

Hi,

I didn't know that but with part of the adress is overwriting the imei (00380000?)

topcat · 04-19-2001, 07:04

as far as i went up to 3C0000 above it my imei changed.

Hi I dont understand this kind of help ??
Why should he flash his phone ? It will not change anything he´s got not a locked phone he´s got some other problems if he´s going to flash till 0040000 it´s possible that it never will work correctly.

Hello guys,

2MB flashing on a 3310 at any version is definitely not safe. During the previous sessions, this was discussed by x-shadow. To re-iterate, we can go as far as rewriting the firmware and PPM region of the flash. On someone mentioned not to go further than 003c0000, I believe he's right, beyond that address is the EEPROM and we would definitely screw up the IMEI if we run over the EEPROM region. What I think might work is to try to flash from 00200000 to 003b0000. To play it safe, be sure the phone were you got the flash file from is of identical flash ID's, Language pack, MCU SW version ...(you know the drill guys, right?)
I hope I was able to help. If not, there's nothing more I can tell you guys. This is as far as I know, I really don't know all that much.

Best regards,
Muscleman

you should try not flasheing first and just have your 3310's firmware upgraded at any nokia service center

topcat · 04-20-2001, 06:20

TOPCAT

Nokia Professional Center at Tomas Morato
they'll charge you around P1,650.00...i'm not so sure

you can also go to:
Semicon at SM Megamall or SM Marikina
Brightpoint at Aranete Ave.,Quezon City

try this:
1. make a full backup of your flash.
2. make a partial backup 003D00000 to 00400000 (this is your eprom)
3. write a 2mb backup with same version. (u can chek ur ppm version by activating netmonitor, goto 88 long press * activates menu mode.
4. write ur partial backup (d eprom) 003D00000 to 00400000

it worked 4 me most of the time.

topcat · 04-24-2001, 06:39

thanks ***ybabe and qtboy... would you happen to have the 200000-400000 file for the 3310? cant seem to find a unit with the same version.
