U8500 error reported at end of unlock (but success)

[IrmatDen]

Hi all,

It's my first try with U8500 unlocking, so I'm not sure I've done everything well
So, first of all, great work here Furious Team

At the end of the flash process (on a U8500 SFR phone, with U8500_UNLOCK_DE_EN_DU_CZ_HU_CR_PL_SL_TURK unlock firmware), the phone was unlocked correctely
But in the log is displayed an error, so here's the log:

/LGAPP/Pxo/Version

Sorry for the french version, I didn't though it could usefull to get it in English.

I just tried on a second phone, with english used as language, to give you a more useful log, but the problem didn't appeared.

Sometimes verry rare this can happen. i suggest reflash again first phone aswell as some area remained unrecovered !

also possible that u still use the beta module and not final one introduced on latest setup so in beta error can happen.

[IrmatDen]

No, I didn't had the chance to try the beta (I was in vacation), so I downloaded the latest setup this morning.

[IrmatDen]

So, I did some other tries, but all failed
I'm still having the same error at the end, although the phone is unlocked (and using the SFR logo on startup).

BTW, I've another problem on this phone (another device). The first 2 steps work ok (nv read, and the long writing step), but it fails to wake up the phone. THe 25 secs countdown come to 0, and at end, the phone just keep rebooting on SFR logo. I've tried flashing it with SFR fw, I still have the same problem. But the phone is still working, pfew

I've 3 other pieces to unlock... I'll tell you more about those.

Edit: I've just tried another one. Here's the log:

Now, the phone is frozen on "File System Startup. Please Wait" in a yellow box.

Well, I won't touch the 2 others, as I'm surely missing something :s

Great, it seems to have worked for the frozen one
I flashed it with unlock fw once repaired, and it works ok now.

Thanks a lot for your quick help hack3r2K

Sorry to be so bad, but I can't get one of those unlocked. On 6 pieces, I've only one phone which really is a problem. I've tried unlocking it with the 2 unlock fw of the support area, but both are stopping after the first long writing step.
I've used the repair method you described in your previous post in between, and the phone was and is still working ok.

Would you know if there's anything I'm doing wrong?
I also wanted to try this: flash it in emergency mode with the O2 unlocked firmware, and then writing the NV file of the support zone. Is there any chance to break definitely the phone by doing so?

Edit: BTW, do you know if there's any limited write fw action possible on a phone? So I can stop trying before freezing it for eternity

Yes, I followed hack3r2k instructions, and it works; but he specified using the SFR locked firmware (the sample is an SFR one).
So the question is: is there any risk to do that with an unlocked firmware (O2 as example)?

Sorry to be pushy, I simply want to avoid any damage

no risk man.

Well, it doesn't work too
Seems I just found a crappy version... It first after the first erasing:

MODEL : U8500

INIT FLASHING ENGINE ... OK;
NV READ SKIPPED;

EFS ERASING;

And write ERROR at the end of the log :/

With the locked SFR firmware, it seems to still be ok, as QFG is currently recreating all files...

Any more idea please?

I'll receive about 8 pieces of them tomorrow, so I'm going to know if it's only one model which is not unlockable... I'll let you know the results if it may help...

Edit: 2 more new pieces unlocked; I'm starting to strongly believe this one is cursed
