Hey, anyone here remembered what happened to my phone?

I'll tell anyway About a month ago around 3 PM, I started the flash procedure on my E398. I've also made sure that the phone was fully charged the night before.

So here I was looking at the progress bar of FlashBackup when my phone suddenly turned itself off ... WTH? Was that supposed to happen Of course, FlashBackup just stopped responding after that. I tried turning my phone on again but was greeted with the all familiar Bootloader stating I have a corrupted firmware blah blah blah

Without realising I've got an almost flat bettery, I began flashing another Monster Pack. 10% ... 20% ... 30% ... 40% ... 50% ... 60% ... 70% ... 80% ... 90% ... The smell of success was so near BUT the phone had to switch off again And this time, when I press the red button all I got was a "pop" sound, this was even worse than before

Leaving me no choice I posted my problem here and some nice forumers helped and gave me suggestions on how to revive my phone. Since I've completely screwed up the flashing procedure, the only option I have left is doing a force-boot. Tried a few times but it still didn't work, I guess shorting the pins was not as easy as I thought

Being somewhat lazy, I just didn't bother to try again and neither do I want to open up my phone. So what did I do? I decided on something that lots of people think is risky ... I'm sending my E398 back to shop, which was not a very wise thing to do because I might void the remaining 9 months warranty

Today, two weeks passed since the day I sent my phone back to the shop, I got a phone call from the salesman. He told me my phone was fixed by Motorola and ready for pick up

Hehe ... Looks like it's well worth the extra I paid for the original MDM warranty Or maybe Motorola is just being nice.

Nope, tested at the shop with a fully charge battery. Confirmed it failed to boot because of flash failure, but of course I didn't tell the seller I flashed my phone

Just got my phone back from the shop, and yup ... Completely FOC Seems like Motorola changed the whole PCB of my phone, so I got a new IMEI code as well

By the way, what exactly did you mean by *Please refer to the bolded text*? I don't really get it

I see, but I did flash with 42R_for_all. It's just that my flash failed because my phone ran out of battery halfway

Sorry to bother, but seems like I need help again.

I haven't flash my E398 after I got it back months ago since the flash failure incident, but now that I want to do it ... I can't Realised my bootloader version is 07.E0 and not 07.D0, FlashBackup gave me error and won't backup my phone. So any ideas?

Thanks

Erm ... Who should I ask? Any suggestions?

I didn't even realized mine is 07.E0 until FlashBackup gave me an error It says phone not supported lolz ...

Why Motorola wanna change such a good loader (07.D0)

Looks like the sifus also dunno hoe to solve my problem le ... No one replied my topic yet

I noob question here, I can install java games on this phone right? I've own an E398 for so long but never tried before

Do I just copy the JAR files over to the phone/memory card?

Ooo ... Okie. Thanks a lot bro

Just sold off my E398 Need to remove from the list?

Wanted to keep it at first but ... Having 2 phones and lkeeping one in the box just seemed wrong

I'm using SE phone now I feel E398 is a bit on the slow side, but SE's speaker still cannot match this Motorola
