Flashing Froyo bin with Acer Tool.........

[Guest Vuhadzu]

Hi, i followed the instructions here to flash the latest Froyo bin file on my phone.

It's been stuck at this point for 2 hours now. Is it meant to take this long or has it crashed in some way? The actual phone is completely non-responsive - i haven't removed the USB cable yet as i'm afraid of bricking the phone.

Can somebody please offer some advice? Thanks.

Remove and replug the device quickly

DO NOT TAKE OUT THE BATTERY, DO NOT TURN IT OFF

Thanks.

It restarted the flashing process then stopped again for ages. So i did the same, unplugged/replugged quickly, and then it said the flashing had failed, you can now remove the usb cable, and a restoration is required.

Now when i boot my phone it just comes up with "Fastboot" text and does nothing else. The Acer Tool no longer recognises the phone as being connected so i can't try flashing a bin file again.

Is my phone bricked? Or can i do a "restore" as the Acer Tool program mentions?

It's all working now, thanks.

I had to uninstall the Acer drivers and "Fastboot device" in Device Manager, which the phone was being recognised as when connected. The Acer Download Tool then recognised the phone as connected again and it's successfully flashed the bin file.
