dear all
please help me ASAP

I have used starter xp monster pack on my E398 for more than 1 year, and there were no problems

just the last time, I turned off my cell phone. When I turned it back on, the first boot screen appear only bout second, then the monitor dead. After these, a blinking screen appear (white and dead and white and dead and so on)

I've re-flashed my phone.
Next, it was okey that the phone works normally
but when i turned it off again and try to turn it on, the same problem appears

please help
what should I do now?
ASAP

now I couldn't re-flash, because of low battery problem

thanks

If you have the same problem after flashing different MPs,then there must be something related to your h/w..

followup on the e-mail (sorry I cannot help here): He is not able to flash anything in bootloader mode, because when he connect his phone to the laptop he get "USB Device Not Recognized"...

I asked him to reinstall drivers, but it shows the same thing

Anybody to help?

it means that there is a problem in connecting the device
sometimes I got that messages too
it is because of the cable

try to give some pressure or tension on the cable connected to phone. For example by pulling, pushing, or another things.

do u think that there is a relation between battery and that problem?
could u please explain me your presume?

I thought that there was no relation with the battery.
because when the problem appeared, the battery still medium full. I even have reflashed (which cannot be done in low battery). It worked sucessfully after reflashed but unfortunately the same problem appeared when I turned it off again and trying to turn it on

thanks

sorry dude - I posted that in the wrong thread... deleted now :) Sorry again


On your problem - there is nothing else to do than find another or charge the existing battery (no other way around) and retry to flash something (if you have primary or secondary bootloader - no matter). Other way - service shop

that's true - you can't charge while you are in bootloader mode

so it's useless modding our cable data

not really - it's still cool when you are working with your phone in normal mode... If you mod your phone a lot you may even forget where you put your charger :))

The miniusb cable for E2 is charging by default. I do not know where is my standart charger - I only use the pc cable :)

This one is for E770 i think(same cable is used to Sony PSP and it's 3 times cheaper in my county ;D).



It is worth to mod ur E398 cable I did it and here are the results:

This is my USB cable inside orange and white strings are added and they are stick to each other(sorry rof quality)

(http://members.lycos.co.uk/eog/cable2.png)
Here is my cable connected to my mobile(no metter if Data/Fax or Memory Card mode). As you can see there is no batery symbol and battery is not being used right now(it means that i can take it away at any time and moblile will not turn off(look at the movie to see that it works)

Here is the movie that shows that cable is worth to be moded for BootLoader Mode:

Mirror 1(lycos very slow):
mp4 Version(Recorded by my 2nd mobile) (http://members.lycos.co.uk/eog/cable.mp4) 436KB
avi Version(DivX contains my comments) (http://members.lycos.co.uk/eog/cable.avi) 2.33MB
