6270 dead after failed flash... can't revive. Help! - GSM-Forum

kraftfahrzeug · 08-07-2006, 21:29

I tried to flash my 6270, using the Phoenix and USB cable-only method. I followed the steps for installing Phoenix exactly as outlined by BB5 Reaper. When it came time to do the flash, everything was looking good. Phoenix was talking to the phone, and it auto-detected my product code, so I started the flash.

It went through a few steps, including verifying communication "1 to 30" and "1 to 80". It seemed odd that it was having to "verify communication" this much. Sure enough, after it counted to 80, the flashing failed, and my phone is dead. I think the problem is the CA-53 cable I was using to flash. It doesn't sit in the phone very securely, and I think the connection was flaky.

I've borrowed a DKU-2 cable from a friend that fits much more securely. I've been trying to do the "dead phone" flashing in Phoenix, but haven't had any luck. Here's as far as I've gotten: I press the power button, and windows recognizes some new hardware (a USB ROM device or something). But, instead of continuing to work, I get another failure. A dialog box says:

Code:

Flashing Failed: 0x84009427(-2080336857) - Unable to get error message.
Do you like to retry flashing?

And the firmware update box says either:

Code:

Cmt->Failed to send config command to bootcode

or

Code:

Cmt->Failed to send ULO 84009427

I've rebooted and tried this procedure numerous times, but it always fails. Am I screwed? Is there anything else I can try to revive my phone? If not, can it be fixed by sending to a "professional" service with hardware (such as iUnlock)? Any help is greatly appreciated!!!

Edit: Some thorough searching reveals that this problem might be caused because this particular firmware package (RM-56 3.69) may not have support for dead flashing. Does anyone know whether this package supports dead flashing or not? If not, can I do the "dead flashing" part with another package, say the 7370's, then do the real flashing with my RM-56 package?

Anything I can try? I'm about to give up and send it to UnlockCellular; they think they can fix it!
