Hi,
Can anyone help me with fixing wrong software on s46? The phone started up displaying "wrong software" and then it shut down. I reloaded my original flash file, but the phone still doesnt boot. Now it doesnt even display wrong software anymore. Just shuts down.
Any help would be greatly appreciated
Thanks
Nick
 
The problem is that when you are not sure what you say you can harm instead of helping.
So think THRICE before posting !!!
 
After that you make IMEI repair, and you can upgrade firmware, but not necessary. But, if you messed this phone very much, make upgrade.

Which software u have used to fixing ur problem?
I think u should Try vth SST program.
It's might help u.

Regards...!!
 
Hi Guys,
No need to get personal. I appreciate any advice given and at this point I can try anything to get the phone working. I dont care if I completely kill it in the process either. It will be a learning experience.
My S46 was locked to ATT originally. I dont have martech software. Is there any other way to upload the flash you could give me? Can i use a cracked version?
Thanks

I think I must have messed up the phone pretty good, because now it doesnt even want to power up. I tried to flash the eeprom u posted, but I cant power up tho phone. Is there a solution to this or the trash can is what lies in its future?
Thanks

Well, you can't upload this EEPROM with SST, it's Martech EEPROM. Don't tell me that you used cracked Martech?!?!?! Didn't you learn till now that with cracked software you cannot repair anything. Anyway, I think that this phone isn't for trash, because what is killed by software can be repaired with software in most cases. But, please, bring this phone to someone who knows what to do.

Regards
 
Okay once and for all.

S46 IS NOT SIMILAR TO S45.
S46 is TDMA and GSM and is a totally different phone.

Freia + S46 = DEAD S46

SST (Yes, even cracked), Martech, or Griffin CRD can all unlock S46 OK.

The solution to Wrong-Unlocked S46 as S45 is writing a good EEPROM. I know this is available to Martech customers since I use their product. SST... I know you're listening-- I assume you provide it as well.

CRD is only for unlock, not repair.

Bottom line... Once you have killed S46, you need original Martech or SST. If you don't have it, take the phone to someone who does.
 
Ok. The craked sst is what killed the phone on the first place. I guess I will need to find people with the original SST as u suggest and find good EEPROM. But why is the original needed? Does it calculate checksums based on the good EEPROM file which the cracked version dont? Just curious.
Appreciate your help

I don't know what you did to the phone or how damaged it is, but I can tell you this:

When you write EEPROM to a Siemens that is not from that phone originally, you must write teh correct IMEI afterwards!!
 
I didn't try to write the EEPROM. I just tried to turn it on and it doesn't want to power up. It is possible that the battery died, but when I connect it to the charger, I don't see the indicator specifying that its charging. I will take it to someone who knows what to do. Just wondered what that latest development might be
Thanks

A read-out EEPROM is fine too as long as you rewrite the original IMEI afterwards.

Basically, when the phone is unlocked as the wrong model, the wrong part of the EEPROM is overwritten with the unlocked data, resulting in missing/corrupted information. You need to make it right again
 
I used the cracked SST to unlock it. I also used it to readout the original EEPROM, but I dont know if it did it correctly. It sure didnt repair the phone right... So I may need an original EEPROM. Do you know where I can get one from and if only original softwares can write it?
Thanks

sst kills s46 the only solution possible is martech 1 or 2 and i asure you it works i personally killed 4 s46 by unlocking them using sst
 
Okay, they are not similar, I know that, but "Wrong software" repair solution is same as S45, and most of other siemens phones. Upload good EEPROM, make IMEI repair, enter original IMEI, and that's it. Ofcourse, if is not hardware fault. That's all that I was trying to tell. When phone is dead, TDMA doesn't work anyway! Phone specifications doesn't mather. I apologize for misunderstanding that I was started, and that was my fault that I didn't specified what exactly I mean when I was told that phones are same. Mea culpa! But my solution of this problem wasn't wrong, and I think that nobody is misguided with my post!
Once again, sorry. This forum is for helping, and not for discussion who is smarter. No hard feelings, and sorry again.

Regards
 
I am told you I have repair S46 wrong software to use SST connect com cable and then unlock the phone your phone will be OK 100000%
 
Well, you can use cracked Martech, but I, as Martech Box user, don't wanna support this. Better take this phone to somebody who has equipment, and let him fix it. As you maybe noticed, cracked software in most of cases screw phones. If you wanna do something (like unlocking), better spend some money for solution. You will get support, flashfiles, and all possible help that you may need in this job. If nobody buy solution, then teams don't have money for research new software, and in the end there will be nothing to crack.

Regards
 
Anyone can help me to fix a S46
Sst make Wrong Sw and original not cracked one
Thnx
 
Well, with Martech upload good EEPROM, after this make "IMEI Repair", and phone should be OK. I've fix many dead S45 with this, and S46 is more/less same phone, just assembled for different market. Ofcourse, this can also be a hardware fault. Then this solution doesn't help. Basicly, idea is to upload good EEPROM in phone, fix IMEI, and reflash phone with desired firmware (not necessary, but you can make fullflash also. Fullflash means Bootcore, EEPROM, firmware). Anyway, try and post results.
