Dead Phone? - GSM-Forum

happy_heme · 06-18-2006, 02:14

Damn man, my phone (Motorola E398) is stuffed. I flashed an MP onto my phone using Flash Backup and everything went all right, but when I tried to flash my phone back to Starter XP MP using Flash Backup again, the whole phone went blank. Now when I check my phone using RSD Lite it says:
ESN: N / A
Technology: N / A
Software Version: N / A
Flex Version: N / A
Bootloader Version: N / A
DRM Version: N / A
When I turn my phone on in both normal mode and bootloader, the screen is absolutly blank (there is absolutly NOTHING on the screen, just like if the phone was off), and the whole phone seems dead (e.g. the keypad lights don't turn on either), but when I connect my phone to my PC, it says the phone is detected. Then when I try to backup a previous Backup using Flash Backup, I click the Restore button and then it says 'Sending loader failed! (May be already sent). Before continue, check is your PDS backup valid. Continue?', so I click Continue, then the bar comes up saying 'Erasing Memory (this process doesn't show)', and then it goes onto another bar saying 'Restoring Backup', then the bar is filled and then it says 'Restoring Backup.......failed!', then 'Shutdown Phone'. I even tried using RamDLD and RSD Lite, but they both had pretty much the same error. Can someone please help me with getting my phone back?
