I flashed version 3.23 on jaf. I used "Thunder_03.23_Core.fpsx" as mcu file, and "Thunder_03.23_Variant_09.fpsx" as ppm file and "Thunder_03.23_LFFS_Image_EMEA.fpsx" as cnt file....
Any ideas?

Should i format the phones? If i have to, how to do it?

Normal Reset (*#7780#) : Restores ini files from rom but preserves user data (photos, 3rd party apps etc)
- Deep Reset (*#7370#) : This reformats completely the C: drive. All applications and files stored on this drive will be lost and clean default files will be rewritten.
Turn phone off, press and hold the green (talk) key on the left + number 3 on the keypad + the * key and then turn the phone back on.

Someone please tell me how to solve "sim not valid" for 3250. I'm desperate since these are expensive pieces. I upgraded full flash 3.21 to 3.23 since piece was hanging and that's when the trouble started...
Help..
