Guest Will Posted September 15, 2003 Report Posted September 15, 2003 It all started with an sd card image. I was trying to restore a 'perfect' image onto the phone. got the dreaded 'download bootloader FAIL' message and the phone is DEAD . power button does nothing, no charging light, nothing! So after donating my other spare phones to developers, I had to take my old nokia 6310i out of it's box, and set off for london. It was a nightmare to be out of touch, no checking modaco, or emails, no contacting people of msn. I pulled the nokia out 5 times and went 'duh' no tubemap, no camera, no mp3's to play while walking home.... And worst of all NO TORCH! What i had forgotten is that my nokia has sofar only dropped 1 battery bar in 3 days!! Ah well.. phone should be fixed soon! Will

Heh, same thing happened to me coz I managed to fry my charger, not nearly as glamorous a way to make your phone useless is it! Twas the msn messenger I missed, serves me right for using the free orange continental adaptor! Sax
Guest Maverick Posted September 15, 2003 Report Posted September 15, 2003 BTW.. How do you plan to get the phone fixed? Orange Care? .. Just asking so that if any of us are brave enough to try what u did... need to have contingency plans ready :-)
Guest Will Posted September 15, 2003 Report Posted September 15, 2003 Contingency plans, don't do it again. AFAIK the phone is DEAD. no amount of prodding, shouting and swearing would make the phone power on at all. repairing: either need a genius to re flash the chip using the jtag adaptor stuff (beyond me). or else it's a replacement/repair from hayes. (or some other method you can think of.) Will
Guest v_patel1 Posted September 15, 2003 Report Posted September 15, 2003 terrible init, i couldnt live with a phone with no mp3
