T630 dead after flash? - GSM-Forum

XStoneX · 02-06-2005, 11:00

I flashed my T630 yesterday (wanted to do an update from R4E002 to R7A011) with Terminator Dongle and DIV LPT 5.0.

On the ARM Modem update the Flasher wrote an error code:

Error 3608
==========
Description:

ERROR 3608 means ARM flash chip failed to erase (bulk erase command issued, but flash not blank). It does it at 1% as on ARM chip, it does not use the progressive erase-write cycles, uses erasing the whole chip (this is the first percent), then starts to write only if the chip is empty (e.g. contents in the given range is of 0xFFs).

This can be caused by badly soldered or damaged flash chip, dirty phone connectors, bad connections, but also because of your PC being too fast (hate stable and accurate delay values, eh?), thus it would advance to flash blank check/write before the chip can actually finish the operation.

- Might be a faulty or fried ARM chip inside the phone

- Might be a faulty cable

- Might be a faulty dongle

Probable solution:

Try correcting the above mentioned issues that could cause this.

I retried to flash, but the phone does not power up. Also I tried to power the phone on by myself - no way. It's dead.

Can I put it into trash now? PLZ help!!!

No worry, it's not a big problem.
Myself i have DIV and Tornado and it happened with me several times that ARM flash stop at 1% while using DIV and phone goes dead.
So i will use tornado to flash it and phone will work normally 100%.

In my openion any phone that will die with software will come on again with software. There is nothing to fear off.

I've downloaded the files at www.gorden.de - but you have to donate gorden to download the files.

@ cellularry - I've no tornado. What else can I do? Is there a possibility to repair the mobile by DIV?

Thx,
