Dead phone flashing (Nokia N80)

Hi,
I managed to brick my Nokia N80, previously running v4.0632.0.38 IE (updated using NSU, with product code changed to one of the Euro 1 N80IEs from 3UK)

NSU failed part way through an 0707 update. After offering to retry it eventually gave up. Turns out my cable has broken - it no longer clips, although I can get a solid connection by mounting at an angle.... :-( Anyway that's the reason.

So I installed phoenix 2007 (another thread) and am trying the dead phone recovery.

In device manager I see an "unknown device" which is detected when the N80 is plugged in - but with a blank screen. This driver is working properly, but has no drivers.

If I start phoenix I was able to go into MANAGE CONNECTIONS and add a USB connection - which was found ok.

After selecting product code (with the 0638 fw files downloaded) if I select firmware update / phone as manufactured, there's a long delay, and then the product code "0539363: EURO 1" / SW version 4.0621.0.38 is displayed. Does this mean the phone is partly alive?

If I select Product->Phone information I get "error while reading info data" - Invalid pointer.

If I try the flash I get Product types do not match. You have specified RM-92 type but actual the type is (unknown). Then I get "FLS device not detected", then "Cmt->Trying to verify communication 1 of 8". Eventually "Product mode changing before flashing to normal failed and the phone is also not in ADL mode"

If I go back to manage connections and select no connection, then retry with "deadl phone USB flashing" I get "No prommer device or USB detected" / Programming Device initializing failed. ... If USB dead flash use: BOOT_ROM_USB_FLASH.

Any ideas? Seems as if there is a tiny bit of life in there and it may just be the wrong sequence I'm using ?

I did try this on 2 PCs (XP and Vista) - both cleaned beforehand.

Thanks!
 
Hi, I have the exact same problem, (bad cable, halfway done installation of 07.07, dead phone that is being recognized as unknown device and same errors in Phoenix. I found this site www.iunlock.com that would fix my phone for $40.00 and $20.00 for shipping. I much rather fix the phone myself but nothing that I have done is working. Anyways I hope this helps you, if you find anything about how to fix, please share with me. Good luck.
