GD87 Dead after bad flash and battery removal - GSM-Forum

speedcomtop · 07-14-2003, 14:39

Hello All,
For info, flash started with Winmodo and stopped very shortly, then I removed the battery (I know I should have read several topics before).
I tryed Winmodo again : no connection
And phone does not start at all.
Also, I don't know if usefull, when I plug the charger, the red light is on.
Having him is what the free gd87 make alliesing die?

Buddy, you got a beautifull, gorgeous, dead GD87 !!! Now you can sell it for parts. Never play with Panasonic, if you don't know what you are doing !

if not...then like MR X said...sell it for parts...or u can sell it to me if u want...

I have the same behaviour but the only thing that i have done is when i have clicked on download i have not set boot to green.

I have not take the batery off the phone during flashing. The flash progression windows was just saying signaling

What can i do ?

Thanks for your help

try first with fully charged battery to flash it again
now when it says signaling then at this moment press the power button ( the one that gets the mobile to start )

but choose always the main and the boot ....ok

if the mobile get died then there is some logger for panasonic...
this would read the phone and send a log file to a server the U can flash the phone back and make it alive..

have fun

regards from a traveller

I will try again tonite but i did not understand the second scenario if it is dead.

I mean at this time my phone does not switch on but when i
charged the batery the light is red. Some people says that in this case the phone is half dead and i can reflash it. Is it true ?

When you say there is some logger software ... Can you give me a name please.

What the logger does excatly. It is able to dump the flash ?
What do you do after getting the log file to reflash it ?

Thanks for your help

Hiya

No logger or server will make Your dead panasonic alive !!!!

If You did not write boot or some error appeared during flash process Your phone is very dead...

Only way to revive is to program flash chip itself externally ( don't have to flash whole chip, just boot ) or use hot swap of chips from working and broken phone...

In both cases You need very good equipment, a lots of nerves and much luck...

And as mr_x4you said don't play with panasonic if You don't know exactly what r u doing...

totally with y....I told many people about the dangerous of flashing,..
I did flash more than 20-30 phones before reader 6.0 ...as no solution at that time with A39 Organge GD87 .....
to be honest, I did kill one totally!!! and but repaired...

now, I paid log for reader 6.0 to supplier ...instead of using a FREE solution to unlock...
why I have to pay if I am exprienced in flashing???? cos I say thousands time..it's very dangerous for flashing in panasonic!!

Syed · 07-23-2003, 17:18

and that hot swapping is very very difficult in GD87 the flash is BGA type...and you need to be a master in BGA soldering/desoldering....

Syed · 07-23-2003, 17:59

PCB is more than half a phone...Rest is battery, display and housing...

Changing PCB is easy...Open phone, remove PCB ( printed circuit board ) and put in new one...
