Have the same problem. It looks like hardware, the original flash does not help. Solution anyone???
By the way as I see it eeprom has nothing to do with it. Alcatel flashes are somehow linked with the flash IC but they can be successfuly reflashed with flashes from completely different phones. And they work impecably. Protection cannot be in place just for one phone out of a hundred. Only it might differ a bit from phone to phone depending on the flash type(in my practice only AMD v 137,138 behaves differentely) So for some reason phones die and i have very strong suspicion they do so after unlock.
Why???
