Siemens A3x, HC:C289 (0089-88C2) flashing problem - GSM-Forum

Hi friends!
That Siemens A3x i have tried to FW update (for language changing).
Siemens SWUP194 gave me an error "the flash MID: 0089, DID: 88C2 = Intel 28F160/28F016 Top 16MBit will be erased ..mobile reported invalid flash_block_adress!"
Siemens WinSwup32 (SVN: 31) gave me an error "Wrong Erase-Adress, not possible from 0h to F7FFFh"
After that changing lang was not succsess, but phone was still a live.
I have tried Ziemens x3x Workshop 1.22, it gave me an error and after that phone was killed.
Tried a lot of flashers, but nothing...
BTW i suppose the phone is some asian version. Original FW was v.16
Some idea to repair phone?

Exist more solution...

SOLUTION 1:

Use All 3/4 Siemens Service v2.0.5 (cracked by Xak)
1. Load *.flx file
2. Select COM Port and mobile type
3. Check option "Write Flash"
4. Check option "Write IMEI"
5. Check option "Burst Mode ( 10% faster )

Now U are ready to flash the phone...
6. Press "Init Mobile" and follow the program instruction's

Afther flashing U need to read LOG file from phone &create a MAP file...

7. Use "Siemens IMEI Writer, Version 3.00" or 4.00 <-- read LOG and make MAP file
8. Now use " Siemens IMEI Writer, Version 3.00 " or 4.00 <-- to write MAP file to phone
Afther writing MAP file to phone, your phone is ready for calls...
Now is "All Done..."

SOLUTION 2:
1. Read full flash and eeprom of GOOD A3x with UniSiemens 4.00
2. Then write on BAD phone
3. Use "Siemens IMEI Writer, Version 3.00" or 4.00 for repair & unlock phone

good luck

Mean while Siemens A3x has 1Mb flash file but 008988C2 is 2Mb chip!?!?

Thanks, G3!
I repaired it using All34. Wrote in back MAP file which backuped before all with KSIE51. Now phone works fine, but I still can't find flx file with LP05 (Bulgarian).
Other way is flashing with Unisiemens, but it gives me I/O error after bootloader is uploaded. Only All34 works for me, but I need LP05 flx file.

sorry man i don't have this *.flx
only
A35_20_06_flx
A35_23_02_flx
A35_25_06_flx

try this
1. Before, Run "Usimload.exe" (9,728 bytes)
2. then "UniSiemens.exe" (594,944 bytes)

P.C. "Usimload.exe" must be in same folder. UniSiemens.exe v4.00 working only with COM1

best regards
