Problem with V3r unlock using prepare method - GSM-Forum

Ddavez · 08-25-2007, 10:15

Tried to unlock a v3r rg4515..43r and this is the log, now stuck in boot loader mode with message "phone code sig error". Tried to prepare it again but still comes up with same message. Is there anyway to restore this phone without losing the data ?? Also noticed IMEI OTP locked, don't seem to remember seeing this before.

Cheers

@ Ddavez,

To be able to perform Repair PDS procedure Prepare cycle should be used.

If SW says Flash phone then you should Flash phone, if it make Error then use TP.

Ddavez · 08-29-2007, 10:29

Tried that too, just keeps failing when booting then saying io timeout

Mr.Tinkertrain · 08-29-2007, 10:38

@ Ddavez,

Run Prepare cycle ("Unlock automatically" should be marked off), after that perform Repair PDS procedure and Full Flash the handset with the same firmware version like the handset originally had or higher one.

Having almost all handsets I try to unlock using prepare method now don't work and I'm using latest updates and same method I have successfully used for the past year. Here's a log from a Z3

Tried and re tried to unlock using prepare no joy.

There must be something making almost all my prepare phones do this. Any ideas I can try ??

Thanks

hello bro

just chiang battery and full charg than try again

Ddavez · 09-12-2007, 17:00

Thanks for that but the battery is full

I tried to prepare with "unlock auto after" not ticked and it went through and gave a different message of

"Security area saved to "PDS for Motorola 35409101094**** (3).mbk"
Performing restore from temparary backup file C:\Program Files\GsmServer\SmartMoto\temporary backup\bkp_F929A90E51996A20.bk_
WARNING: Restore operation failed. Try to perform 'prepare phone' operation or flash the phone with full flash file again
Now you can perform Repair PDS or Unlock operations.
To get the handset back to the working condition, please flash it with boot file (boot_.mfw)."

This is different to the usual prepare fail message

Tried to go to unlock menu and it unlocked

"Unlocking phone... OK"

Still no power on, so tried repair PDS, keep getting the following

"Searching for phone... found S Blank Neptune LTE2, getting test interface... interface not found

Smart clip has been working OK for over a year and is powered by 12V supply

Gotta sort this out...there must be something causing this I can solve

This is interesting... I have two phones, a V3r and V3i, both unlocked using prepare cycle, and both are now stuck in "phone code sig error". I have tried all that has been suggeted here, no change. When I try to flash with Scout, the process stops at 4%. When I try to flash with RSD, it stops at 8%. Why those specific percentages, I have no clue.

Just to be clear, I have used this process many times before without a problem, and I am not quite a newbie

They are driving me nuts, and I would be grateful for other ideas.
