Simple Solution for 6600 "Contact Retailer" and 4Binks using Twister Software

Step 1: Click ERASE Flash
start address: 02000000
end address: 027FFFFF

* if you get an "Erase Flash Error" message in a specific address in the flash
ic, this means that you have a damaged flash IC. You will need to replace
flash IC number 2 inside the phone. (The 6600 has 4 flash ICs inside).

Step 2: If you are successfull in erasing flash IC number 2, make a full flash
of the phone... MCU + PPM + Bluetooth if necessary.

Step 3. If you are successfull in full flashing the phone, put battery inside
phone and you SHOULD GET "Contact Retailer" message again. Now remove
the battery, put it back and hold buttons
"call(green button on the left)" + "*" + "3"
then press the power button while still holding the 3 buttons above...

The phone should start formating itself (note that there must be no sim
card inside the phone while doing this...)

After formatting, phone should be ok... but need to update a good PM
file if necessary.
