8210 off after flashing it

[bitnik]

I bought a used 8210 and I discover that it had some faults.
The fault was that althought it said that it had signal I couldn't call or be called. So I decided to reflash it hoping that it may fix the problem. Now the phone is off, I cannot even start it. When I try to read it with what ever prog it does not respond.
Any suggestions?

try flashing it again, i get this sometimes, get a clean flash file (download from here) when the program says - turn phone on - press the power button, it should still work

Hi, tnx for your respond but I already done that.
I thing my porblem is that in my ignorance I flashed the file to the rong address so I destroyed the flash software.
Is there any way to reprogram the flash from the beggining?

just reflash the eeprom and MCU + PPm to the corect addresses should do it, or do a full flash

Hey Hey, I've magaged to get another 5.26v 8210 and take a full flash out of it. Then I made a full flush to the broken one and now it works. Althought it said something like not accepting sim card I remembered that I saw somewhere that I must make a FAID update. After I did this phone worked.
BUT.... the problem I use to have before flashing it for the first time still exists. It shows me fake signal. Any ideas?

do SP unlock and reset to factory settings

the fake signal could be a hardware problem

Tnx alot again,
Althought I've manage to fix the porblem again my major problem still exists.
Phone shows no signal any more.
Somebody told me that even if i chagne the rx/tx it will be broken again in a month the most.
Anyway I want to fix it ( not to give it for fix) what ever the cost just to get experience.
If u have ever done the same (change rx/tx) guide me.
