E200 Upgrade Disaster - Help

[Guest jscotl]

Just downloaded the E200 ROM update, followed the instructions but I'm left with a fone that has no display :D

I did not get much info appearing on my PC, other than the msg "Don not disconnect blah blah.... Been running for over an hour & the PC became un-responsive :oops:

When I power the E200, it states "Card Found" then Press any key to run bootloader, then the Red, Green & Blue screen stating "Smart Phone v1.03 doc"

Someone please tell me that I've not F**ked my fone & that you know how to resolve, pleeeeaassee.... :?: :oops:

You need to remove the sd card.

Reboot your pc and close all background tasks (ctrl+alt+del, etc)

Reboot your phone in the 3 color mode (hold down the camera button while powering on) (make sure your sd card is out!)

When the phone is in 3 color mode put it in the cradle and run the update. Dont do anything else on the pc besides the update.

Should run this way.

Good luck

Cheers Panja :D

Sorted :!:

Did not see any guidance during the update to remove the card (mind you I only have the dummy card in the slot) :oops:

But hey, all's well that ends well ;) :lol: :P

Thanks

Same thing happened to me. Phone 156 who said that it could take up to 50 mins. However after 2 hours of "Do not disconnect" I got suspicious that my PC was frozen because the clock on the task bar had not updated :!: . So after checking posts on here I disconnected phone and battery, re-ran update from scratch and it worked. :D

Why they don't advise it should take about 5 mins on the initial download Web page is bad enough, but 156 saying 50 mins is even worse :roll:

It froze first time and crashed PC, but all the other times it has run fine ;)
