I bricked my phone as a test to see if Spiderman could fix it.

If you want to unbrick your phone this could work for you since it did for me.


Read this tutorial on how to use Spiderman to flash your phone.

http://p168.forumotion.com/tutorials-f4/spiderman-v220-tutorial-t141.htm


Follow the steps of the tutorial up until it is time to flash your phone. Do not hit the flash button instead press the format button. and then it will tell you to press the red on/off button.

There may be a warning screen that pops up. I just hit ok. 30 seconds later your phone should be formatted and set back to the factory setings. You can then remove the battery and put it back in. when you start your phone it should then go to the pen calibration screen and voila you have a new phone again.

Good luck.

If your phone is already bricked you should not have to worry about any side effects from this. You should already know you will not be able to see any of your old data or settings once this has been done.

Very nice

good post!

Thanks for adding this! After all the messing around I have done with my phone, I may end up having to do this one day. Then hope and pray it will work. I really think I work my phones to death. This one may get tired of me messing with it one day and quit like it did before. Thanks again for the info!

Haha, how did you go with getting the i9 firmware on judee?

ok, well there is no pressure

I just want to tell you good luck. We're all counting on you (like Rumack said in the movie Airplane! 10 times)

Haha good comment

I tried your method but I keep getting error messages saying [ROM] AutoBaud failure!, restore BPS. This message is displayed twice followed by another message saying [FAT] Failed because of boot. Any ideas how to rectify this?

Just an update to previous post. Seems like when I get over obe hurdle, there is a next one in the way. Got the phone to connect to the Spiderman but now I'm getting a message saying [BROM] Fail to download DA...is there something that I'm missing? I am assuming DA stands for DownloadAgent, if so, how do I go about changing the DA in Spiderman?

Hi all,

I am a little confused with al this. I have the 'high speed sim' problem where after having pressed that function, the phone is now dead.

After searching for a solution on vaious forums, including this one (which seems to be the best), I came to the conclusion that you get hold of the flash cable and format/ rflash the phone.

Contacted Zydaglo who is mentioned elsewhere on this forum to get hold of the cable but he informs me that the cable will not solve this problem! The phone will need to be sent back to the factory, is that the case?

geting desperate.

Flashing/formatting/unlocking will work, but you have to have the correct .bin file, the correct cable and a software program, not to mention patience. Follow the direction posted by the admin in the tutorials section and you'll be fine. Good luck!

Thanks klsmurf,

i live in hope again. so the next logical question is, where do i get hold of such a cable.

i have the p168c with the mkt 6225 chip. seems to have a 6-pin connection. found he following somewhere in my searches

http://www.ipmart.com/main/product/China23,GSTARGM328,,Samsung,D900,,12Pin_2X6,COM,1,Cable,Compatible,27108.php?prod=27108

is this trhe correct one? thanks again.

still despertate.

That looks to be the one for hooking up to a serial port on your computer. Make sure you have a new 9v battery and a fully charged battery for your phone. I posted a link on the thread (usb-usb serial cable) if you only have a laptop with no serial port. Zydaglo usually carries the serial cable, but I saw she did't have any listed the other day, must be out of stock. Check there first, she's very reputable and it will save you a week or so on shipping. Be patient working with the software and try to download/readback the firmware that's on your phone now. Not exactly sure if that works on a bricked phone, but if it does, you can then use hex editor to get the exact firmware that is installed on the phone. Good luck.
