Guest mwille Posted October 20, 2004 Report Share Posted October 20, 2004 Have to ask the age-old question that has troubled me with every ROM update I've ever performed : Paul, SIMlock stays of ? Certificationlock stays of ? I don't mind the certificationlock that much but I'd really hate having to have the simlock removed all over again..

Guest Paul [MVP] Posted October 20, 2004 Report Share Posted October 20, 2004 Try running the update from the bootloader. Turn the phone off, hold the camera button down and while doing so, press the power button for one second then release. This should start the phone into the bootloader, which may help you flash.
