Hi,

As I can see from log, you tried to make unlock and software did not made any changes in phone memory, just check phone and stop operation.
In this situation phone can't be damaged anyway. So, pls, describe full story from begin or simply check phone hardware.

The "real" story is that it has been tried to unlock with Furious but did not unlock (phone was working fine) but after tried with Infinity then it just went dead

I know somebody who has another 544, if i take eeprom from that phone and flash it back into this dead phone will it work ?

Thanks for a speedy response

Hi,

Just want to repeat: it's impossible to damage 544 if during unlock you see message like "unlkown eeprom".

What to do: flash phone with firmware from support area.

I know u are saying that its impossible to damage but somehow its happened

Tried firmware upgrade but did not bring phone back to life

If I got an eeprom from another 544 phone and flash iot back to this one would that work ?

Probably somehow it can happen but not this time and not after Infinity-Box software for sure. I am sure that some other reason exist.

I have eeprom files and I'll prepare repair eeprom for you in some time today. But pls, double check battery voltage first and be sure that everything is Ok with phone hardware.

Hi
I need repair EEPROM for Lobster 544 too.Let us know when they are upload at support.

I tried full flash with the file form support but it's still not booting.
Any other ideas?
