Title: Help me! Phone keeps restarting after applying new skin
Post by: hnyuk49 on December 30, 2007, 04:27:05 am
Hi, I just bought my E389 phone yesterday and did some little mods to it. I used Skinman to install skin Ilike - downloaded here in motohell. The problem is, after the installation completed, I marked ILike skin as the active one and then chose to restart phone. But after that, the phone cannot boot normally like before. It got stuck at the HelloMoto Logo then keep rebooting. Unfortunately, I didnt make any backups before coz I think that some moddings in skin wont affect much on the whole system, I know that it is BIG mistake, but forgive me, this is the first time I used a Motophone. :-[  Ah,I can still access the Boot Loader screen but dont know what to do next with it. anybody helps me !!!!! Thank you all!!!

Hello hnyuk49, welcome to MotoHell! :)
If you had not back up'ed your Moto E398 firmware, you can flash a new MP
BTW, check your bootloader and make sure that you only put these mods into R373 firmware
If your bootloader states S/W: R372_.......  you will have to upgrade your e398 using CG7 or 42R_for_all MP all here in e398mod.com
Even your problems are answered there.

Thank you Jay Chou. Yes, the bootloader states: R372_G_OE.20.95R_A So I have to upgrade my fone's firmware to 42R_for_all before flashing a new MP on? Could you give me the detail tutorials or give me the link for that cuz I'm afraid of killing my fone totally if I make other silly mistakes again. Thank you.

Did u delete all the original skin??
As I remember, there have to be at least one original skin to keep the phone work if u re still in R372.

Btw there is tutor E398 to ROKR Conversion in stickies, if u will, considering u didnt make any backup.
U will gain more feature by convert ur moto to ROKR.

What mp did u flash...?
You must create DB first
AFAIK all new recent mp has the newest iTunes that allows you to create DB from the phone...
