Title: E1 stuck in Flash #2
Post by: braian-k on September 29, 2010, 08:34:55 pm
Hello, I came here to this great community looking for some help with my E1. I just got it, but it wasn't working. It seems it was flashed from before, and it said on the screen Vilko's boot FDDF Now flash #2, so I thought that I was gonna get it working after flashing the second step of downgrading, but I couldn't do it. I flash step #2, but it just reboots and comes again with the same screen... So it won't get downgraded nor working. Do you guys know how to resolve this? Thanks in advance.

Have you tried to do step 1 again? To downgrade it from the beggining?

I have, but it didn't work... I flashed it again with DARII and the MP flashed ok, but when the phone turned on, only worked until the splash screen appeared, then it rebooted. An it keeps doing it on and on... I can't put it in bootloader mode, it seems to me that the keys are not working...

If phone is rebooting you should flash 42r for all and then some MP. Or maybe you have some Elfs on TF? Delete if so.

Oh, no, I don't have any elfs on TF. Anyway darII's got elfs on a/ and /c. But I can't flash it, because the phone reboots before it's detected...

You mean the phone reboots before the PC detect it? If some keys are not working and you cant enter BL, try to forse BL your phone.

To force your phone in BL you need to remove your battery and then short circuit 4. and 5. pin and put in the battery. For that you can use something metal, I was using metal paper clip like tata78.

Here's a video by Muncheno:

I hope I have made it clear enough...

For Simpler force boot loader you only need to press * # and power button and insert the battery.
It is the same with short pin 4 & 5.
If force boot method still nothing,
So you need to do testpoint.
You can download my reviving tool to solve your problem.
