Was wondering the following, what happens when a flash goes bad, is there any way to recover from a bad flash? ie: just flash again lol?

Anyone have any experience with this?

thanks,

ut.

I read somewhere somebody f*cked his phone because his batery died halfway through flashing so he charged his battery and tried again and the flashing was successfull.

Its all I can tell you.

Well its supposed that this will work, phoenix will tell u that there is no product, but it will ask u if u wanna send it anyways

I found this information from a Nokia document on a website. Not sure how accurate it is though..

�Dead Phone USB flashing�:

This method should be used in the following cases:
- The phone to be flashed is not responding any more (e.g. it does not
switch on)
- The phone to be flashed starts but contains MCU SW version older than
version 3.56. In this case, be aware that all the user settings will be lost
during the flashing. When flashing a phone that kind of phone, do not
switch on the phone before the flashing starts.

1. Setting up the connection:
To allow the flashing of a dead phone, the used connection must be set to
�NO CONNECTION�. To do this, go to File -> Manage Connection
In the window �Manage Connection�, highlight the �NO CONNECTIONS� bar
and set it at the first place of the priority list.
Press �Apply� button and then close the �Manage Connection� window.

2. Setting the product name:
Open the product �RM-92� using the menu File -> Open Product

3. Flashing the phone
To perform the flashing, proceed as follows:
- Choose menu �Flashing -> Firmware update�
- Activate button �Dead Phone USB flashing�
- Choose the variant to be flashed
- Press �Start� button
