Which files to use for Mars flashing?

[esnaff]

This is bit of an old stuff now but I would be grateful if anyone has time to read this...

I have Mitsubishi TRIUM Mars MT-050 with
"Mobile Phone Malfunction Contact Your Service Provider" message on start-up.
I have tried "MITSUBISHI.FLASHER.FAMILY.v1.0" -size 4.6MB unlocking pack
but it seams it doesn't work. Beside other files it contains

1.-Troky EEpromRW
2.-IPL Trium
3.-Mitsubishi Tech Art Flash Studio
4.-MarsBySkkeptik

and some .bin files

/name\ /size\ /CheckSum\
MARS.BIN 1822464 Bytes C8A
marsE.BIN 16384 Bytes C7EA
marsfls.bin 1822464 Bytes C8A
marsK01.bin 16384 Bytes BE7A
ithumb.bin 14716 Bytes DEF5
loader.bin 16256 Bytes 7BA6
load.bin 14716 Bytes DEF5
Uniloader.bin 14716 Bytes DEF5
Iplm4mo.bin 18216 Bytes C857
Iplm4so.bin 18236 Bytes C1FC

Can someone tell me the right routine for flashing the phone and correct
.bin files to use for the phone. The EEPROM file says 9S256V6

I have read someplace to open phone, clean, reflow chips near sim-card slot
and eeprom and flash chips, than write eprom and flash the phone. I haven't
done that yet and before I do so can anyone comment this please.

Thanks a lot.

Hello ESNAFF i try to help :
1-Be sure the batterie is fully charged
2-launch the soft "IPL TRIUM"
3-Choose in application file a flash file for mars containing 2048 Kbytes having checksum "24E4"
4-In loader file choose the file "ithumb.bin"
5-verify the properties it should like this "the COM is where the phone is connect,speed=115200 Bds,Parity=No parity,Stop Bit=1,Data Bit=8,Wait state=1,Bus Size=16Bits" ok
6-click on Start download and quickly press on..
if all is ok the green led in the phone begin blinking until the operation finished remove the batterie and put it them...that's all
Salam

Recent update:
I have tried those files but I have this problem now…

When I connect the cable to the phone with no power supply attached to it and run the program there is only RED led flashing on the phone. IPL says “No acknowledge from the mobile” and led flashes until I press OK. IF I connect the power supply NOTHING happens. If I remove pins 5 and 7,8,9 the phone shows the message Charging…
If I remove pins 5 and 7, the phone briefly shows message “Attempting to connect” (or something since it shows it very fast and I can’t read it). Is it a cable problem or is it something else in question?

Well as it looks I have placed this problem I had with this mobile on hold for a ling time
I have resoldered the EEPROM chip on the oposing side of the ON/OFF/hangup button. Now the phone shows tne next message "Phone permanently blocked" As it turns out that was the reason why none of the programs worked as they should. I haven't tried any of them after the resolder but I'm going to do it today.

Some back info on the problem with the phone:

It turned out that the Trium MARS has design flaw in which the graphite on the keyboard wears out after a while and the user keeps pushing the buttons harder and harder. Since the EEPROM chip is under the red button after a while it loses good grip with the wires on the board so the phone gives the error upon power on. Someplace else I have found that the whole chip should be replaced instead of just reflowing it.
