6138 EEPROM Rebuilding - GSM-Forum

X-Shadow · 08-28-2000, 16:27

Hello Guys,

Does anyone know how to manually rebuild
the EEPROM of a 6138 or any NSX unit?

I have 1 6138 which I damaged about 1 year
ago when you still have to open phone and
modify EEPROM to get NetMonitor Menu (Those
were the days

) I accidentally erased the
contents of the EEPROM while reprogramming
it and I wasn't able to make a backup of the
stupid dump. I tried 100 ways to make it
work again. I tried to upload dumps of 6110
to it and manually modified IMEI so that it
would still have same IMEI. Some dumps worked
but there is always something wrong, all 4
locks are closed and no unlocker can open it!
The only sim card that the unit works for
now is an original Motorola Test Card!

I now have a dump of a 6138 with the same
software version. I uploaded it and phone
says "Contact Service". I used Wintesla to
fix the "Contact Service" and now again
all 4 locks are closed but phone is partially
working.

Does anyone know how to get around this mess?

Best Regards,
X-Shadow

Hi X-Shadow,
I want to help you, but I'm not sure are you
gonna like it. I'll tell you what you told me
few months ago - that each byte is responsible for something and you can't just with try find out the values of entire 64k memory.
But I think that you can use another dump. For that you have to change Cobba - just take
it out from the other phone. That's why you
need un-repairble phone. Check NSE service manual - it's there.

Regards, Alex

Hahaha...

I know what you mean

But I think Guar
and Bartek released something for contact
service solution so that is why I brought
up this topic again.

Best Regards,
