Can a dead 3330 be brought back to life? please help! - GSM-Forum

Salute · 09-21-2001, 23:03

Got this phone 3330 v 3.12 telfort "dead" after attempt to unlock using darkshell (possibly due to wrong flahing on my part... so I am not blaming darkshell). Tried repairing using 2 repair files, each 64KB and one starting with address 00200000 and the other from 00280000 to no avail. The darkshell flasher screen says that the flashing is done, but the phone remains dead. Is there something that can be done? Do I need a complete flash, and where can I find this? Please help! With thanks in advance. Salute

There is no universal solution for repairing dead nokia phones! I said him per mail, that he should read out his phone with right loaders (for no mirror backup) Then I will detect the reason for dead of phone and will repair this! In mostly cases the partial was flashed with wrong loader or to wrong adress! So I sent him right loader for reading! So we save eeprom area! If eeprom is OK, so we can repair the phone 100%, even if he make a mistake by flashing and overwrite or erase eeprom area! I will send him right backup and right loader for flashing to fix his phone! Thats the savest method! I always say for successfull repairing nokia phones, first step is reading out the full flash of nokia phone! The most phones will be killed not by unlock mistake! They will killed by wrong repairing try!!! If you have backup of phone even if its damaged, you ever can detect real version and you have backup of eeprom, wich is the only part of flash, you can not swap!!!

If you have also the same problem, now you know what to do! :-)

Brobble has been kind to examine the flashout I was able to make for my set using the reader and instructions he provided. I was assured that the EEPROM and PPM were intact, but MCU was damaged. Does this mean that if I get a flash of the MCU of another Nokia 3330 v. 3.12 (Telfort) and upload this to my phone then the set will work again? If so, can somebody please send me this file ? Thanks to all for the help

Sent 3330 3.12 to Brobble and Salute

Salute · 10-18-2001, 00:22

Thanks for the file G-Man... getting "CMD Error". Any idea about the reason for this error? Regards, Salute

Salute · 10-18-2001, 18:44

The problem was in the f-loader. The 3330 is OK now thanks to G-Man. I uploaded the repair file then set came back to life but first did not accept any sim card. I flashed with partial then worked perfectly. It is accepting other sims. Once again, thanks G-Man and also much thanks to Brobble

And Greetings to you as well, Mr

hi guys, i have the same problem as SALUTE. but this 3330 unit was brought to me when it already was "CONTACT SERVICE". after a couple of days with me the phone went dead and i don't what specific version it was.

i have been trying to bring the phone back to life but how can i? is there a way for me to know the version? what specific f-loader file should i use, would someone be kind enough to send me one.

btw i brought the phone to an authorized nokia service center and they told me that the phone's eeprom was empty. why did this happened?

i would really appreciate whatever help you guys could extend.

thanks

If the eeprom area is empty then the phone can not be repair unless you got Dejan 1.04 box or similar. Eeprom area is where the crucial things stored like imei, faid etc. You can bring it to life by flashing full flash (20 to 60) but phone will be simlocked and no network. I got a box of dead 3330 with me and waiting for G-Man to send me his info so i can visit him and buy Dejan box from him. <img src="smile.gif" border="0">

(Hoping dejan will upgrade his box to support new nokias...)
