Z3 Reviving dead phones & Repair PDS(Tutorial) - GSM-Forum

malek45 · 08-21-2008, 16:09

first thanks to diabolic53
So ... i decided to make this tutorial for those that bricked their phone and cannot flash any firmware and there is nothing else they can do to revive the phone.
Keep in mind that this tutorial requires you to make a TEST-POINT on your phone!!!
So let's begin:
Symptoms :- phone won't turn on , it will only turn on in bootloader
- phone shows PH SIG ERR : 35:02
- Flashing any other firmware didn't solve the problem
Fixing the problem:
1. Dis-assemble the the phone and make a TP on it
2. Start Ramldr2 and press Send loader
3. Select write boot an select Boot_0AC0_patch, and wait for "Shutting down ... OK" ( after this process the phone will start only in Blankmode )
3. Start Flash Backup 3 and flash the phone with the "Revive dead flash with RSA & PDS patch" flash
4. Start Ramldr2 again, press Send loader, then press write PDS & select the file "PDS_Z3", after the shutting down close Ramldr2
5. Start Ramldr2 again and press Send loader, then press Write boot and select "Boot_Start_SW", after closing the program remove cable, assemble the phone & that is it your phone is revived
WARNING!!! AFTER THIS PROCESS YOU WILL NOT BE ABLE TO FLASH YOUR PHONE WITHOUT TAKING YOUR PHONE INTO BLANKMODE AGAIN !!!( With Dualboot this is just a minor inconvenience)

OK I finally got it worked OK, and I was back to the phone again, BUT I tried then to flash the phone with my Original Back UP and now all I get is a white screen!

When I try to flash again I get this
