Dead, But Alive Nokia 5130 - I Need Help! Please Read Below.

**yemisifolarin** · 05-04-2005, 08:30 PM

I HAVE A NOKIA 5130 (NSK-1NX), MADE IN GERMANY, PHONE. ITS FIRMWARE VERSION IS 05.51. 03-08-99

I RECENTLY PURCHASED A FLASH DATA CABLE (DCT-3) KIT 3210, 3310, 6110, 8210

The Kit contents were:
1) 1 x LPT (Printer port) Flasher Cable,
2) 1 x 3210 PS2 Connector,
3) 1 x 3310/3330/3390 PS2 Connector,
4) 1 x 5110/6110/6210/7110 PS2 Connector,
5) 1 x 8210/8250/8850 PS2 Connector.

I HAVE SOME NOKIA FLASH SOFTWARE DOWNLOADS, INCLUDING A CONTACT SERVICE REPAIRER SOFTWARE, ALL OF WHICH WERE DOWNLOADED FROM THE NOKIAFREE.ORG WEBSITE, BUT MOST OF THESE SOFTWARES REQUIRE (a) SERIAL (COM port / PS2) FLASHER CABLE, AND (b) A FLASH IMAGE THAT IS FIRMWARE OF NOKIA PHONES LTD., BOTH OF WHICH I DON'T HAVE FOR NOW.

ONLY THE DCT3 FLASHER SOFTWARE BY ROLIS, VER 4.77 WORKS WITH THE LPT (Printer port) Flasher Cable THAT I HAVE JUST BOUGHT, TO READ THE PHONE.

WHEN I USE THE DCT3 FLASHER SOFTWARE BY ROLIS, VER 4.77
AND THE 5110/6110/6210/7110 PS2 CONNECTOR OF MY NEW LPT (Printer port)Flasher Cable TO READ THE PHONE

1) I SELECT FOR MOBILE TYPE, NOKIA 5130 NSK-1, (MINE IS NOKIA 5130 NSK-1NX),

2) I CLICK THE "READ DEFAULT FLASH SIZE" BUTTON, AND THE FOLLOWING IS DISPLAYED.
-----------------------------------------------------------------------------

Sending First Bootloader ( CHK = 0x04F5 )...Ok.

Sending Second Bootloader ( CHK = 0x0B93 )---Failed.

(3) FOLLOWING IMMEDIATELY WOULD BE AN "ERROR MESSAGE" POP-UP WHICH DISPLAYS:

FLASH READ ERROR. "FF 00" EXPECTED BUT "FA 7E" GET. INCREASE DELAY INDEX, OR CHECK YOUR CABLE.

(4) AFTER CLICKING O.K. ON THE ERROR MESSAGE POP UP, I SAVE THE ABOVE FLASH OUTPUT.

(5) ON SUBSEQUENT ATTEMPTS TO READ THE DEFAULT FLASH SIZE, I GET ANY OF THE FOLLOWING ERROR MESSAGES:

A) FLASH READ ERROR, CHECK YOUR MOBILE TYPE CHOSEN, CHECK YOUR CABLE CONTACTS AND SUPPLY.

B) PRELOADER BOOT ERROR, PRELOADER INITIALISATION ERROR

C) Sending First Bootloader ( CHK = 0x04F5 )...Failed.

D) FF00 EXPECTED BUT 07F3 GOT, INCREASE DELAY INDEX OR CHECK YOUR CABLE.

(6) WHEN I TRY TO USE THE SAVED OUTPUT FILE ABOVE TO FLASH THE PHONE, THE FLASHER SOFTWARE DISPLAYS:

E) UNKNOWN PHONE FLASH DUMP. FLASH IMAGE TOO BIG FOR CHOSEN MOBILE. OR,

F) PHONE RAM MAT BE BAD. (I DON'T THINK IT IS).

A FEW DAYS AFTER TYPING THIS MAIL AS A DRAFT, IN CASE SOMETHING ELSE COMES UP BEFORE MAILING IT, MY NOKIA 5130 SUDDENLY POWERED OFF FINALLY AND REFUSED TO POWER ON AGAIN, EVEN WHEN CONNECTED TO A CHARGER. HOWEVER, WHEN I USE THE DCT3 FLASHER SOFTWARE BY ROLIS, VER 4.77 WITH THE PHONE AFTER IT BECAME DEAD, THE SOFTWARE REMINDS ME TO POWER OFF THE PHONE FIRST, POWER ON SHORTLY, OR IT DISPLAYS THE FOLLOWING INFO:

SUBSEQUENT ATTEMPTS TO READ THE DEFAULT FLASH SIZE OF MY "NOW DEAD" NOKIA 5130 PHONE PRODUCES THE SAME RESULTS STATED FOR SUBSEQUENT ATTEMPTS AS IN (5) (A-D) ABOVE.

QUESTION 1:
-----------

CAN ANYONE EXPLAIN TO ME WHAT COULD BE WRONG WITH MY NOKIA 5130 PHONE, AND HOW TO GET IT WORKING AGAIN?

FIRMWARE VERSION = V05.51 (NSK-1) 03-08-99

THANKS IN ADVANCE FOR ANY KIND OF HELP.

I think the program is right and phone's ram chip has gone bad

I have a 6210 in same condition and won't power on anymore.

The process of flashing a phone begins by erasing its flash chip (or better, by filling it with 00000) but in that process program exchanges info with the phone. Now since the program expects some sequenced code that the phone doesn't send, the erasing process is aborted. And that is why the phone doesn't power anymore... because the boot section code (beggining of MCU) isn't there anymore

I think only solution is a new flash chip but the hardware guys can me more sure about such a solution

cheers
