Author Topic: Reviving old e398  (Read 3997 times)

Hey all

After successful flashing of my previous e398, im so happy at the new quality of the phone. Seems like it just received a new life. Anyway, my main dilemma is on how to get my old e398 charged up again.

My old e398, needs to be in a way, put into a bootloader mode. In this method, i need to discharge wire 4 and 5 and pressing the red button and press the * and # button at the same time and inserting the battery in. If i can get it into BL i would get it back into working order.

The problem here is, i don't have enough fingers to actually do all this.

My few fingers would be on the # and * and the red button and one hand would be in battery and i don't have enough hands to get it free to put the battery in...

Im just wondering, what can i actually do? is there some sort of "jig" i can make so it's easier for me to do this?

Any help would be greatly appreciated as alaways..


Thanks



EDIT:

Just found some videos... i don't think i need to press the buttons ... Will see how it goes on and will let you guys know on how things go

If you are using the force boot method I dont think you need to hold the # and * and the red button .

There are two ways of doing a forceboot.

First - Holding *,# and RED and inserting the battery while doing so. This ways doesn't always work.

Second - Shorting the 4th and 5th pin (of the port on the bottom of the phone) from the right, and then inserting the battery. Works always if you shorted the right pins together ;-) Cheesy
