T237 to T290 update failure - GSM-Forum

Joselord · 09-01-2005, 00:07

I tried flashing my t237 with t290a firmware. I forgot to unlock before I flashed and I ended up with a phone that works only in 900Mhz. It used to work in 850 and 1900Mhz. I heard that know I have to flash GDFS in AVR format but I don;t have the files for either one (T237 or T290). Any chance anyone here could help me? I used UFS to backup but when I try to reflash with backup it says :"file corrupted or patched". Any suggestions? Thanks
