Relocking ROM flash error w/ broken USB - Please Help!!!

Fua · #1 (**permalink**) 10-29-2009, 11:09 PM

So my phone's usb charges stopped working (as described in here: http://forum.ppcgeeks.com/showthread.php?t=92052)

I decided to flash back to shipped ROM and relock for a warranty exchange. Loaded shipped ROM into internal storage and flashed that OK. Then I loaded the relocker .nbh file and tried flashing, and then all hell broke loose.
It went to the bootloader screen and says:
"Upgrade ROM code error"

Restarting doesn't help. Hard reset doesn't help. It just keeps going back to the same bootloader screen.

I would REALLY appreciate help on this one.

Also, I get bashed for asking stupid questions and not searching, I'd like to point out that my USB connector on the phone is BROKEN. So I can't run anything off my PC.

Also, when I try Triggered Bootlader, it just says "Loading..." and hangs.

Well I say you are good to get it replaced in that condition.

Not quite. When the phone is powered up the bootloader shows up and clearly displays "Security Unlocked......."

They won't know what that means.

You think? I gave them a little more credit than that, but I've been wrong before.

you are not looking at the right spot the "Security Unlocked" title will ALWAYS stay there. Right now the 0000 after the SPL-0.57 indicates that your phone is locked ! if you want to flash you have to unlock it again, reflash and then lock it back...

Don't forget Security Unlocked title will always show no matter what you do. for an unlocked phone you need to look at something different then the quad zeros (0000) like CMONEX or something

Wow, I was so freaked out, that didn't even notice that "CMONEX" was gone.

Thanks for the heads up.

Unfortunately, reflashing seems problematic, since I can't use my USB connection (as mentioned before). And uploading a new .nbh is not an option either since the phone is non-responsive.
