did you erase the moto folder?

[beatlesfan]

Did you save the packaging or receipt, user manual, anything that will indicate which model V3 you have ? Assuming it's a straight V3 (not V3xxx or some other model) you can use RSDLite and a Monster Pack to get it working again.

That phone is a V3re we have a stock V3re Monsterpack in the V3r downloads section, flash that with rsd lite

@Clarkey thx. can u teach me how so i dont screw it up :S

@Dumba thx i need to know how to flash it correctly.. can u help me there also.. thx for uploading xD

Hi again, Lol. To clear a few things, if you flash a locked to AT&T pack to your phone it won't work for T-Mobile again until you unlock it. If you flash an unlocked pack to your phone it will stay alright with T-Mobile. You can flash a T-Mob flash, but there isn't any yet, your phone is too new. The problems you have come from a software issue. First you should try to soft reset the phone, that is taking the battery out for a while and see if it boots up normal after. Then if that doesn't work you would need your backup which you don't have, well, that is when you need a stock MP to flash your phone back to Stock. A locked one would be bad, thats why I uploaded the unlocked one for you and others. Thanks to another member who gave it to us. You need to read the Guides and the threads in the v3r section, and you will find a lot of helpful info how to save your phone there,

dam im freakin out... i never even did a mod that can destroy the phone.....

[Dumba]

Which MP did you flash? And as a first thought, I would try the same flash again, sig error 35:02 is a not matching checksum or chipset. See that you are plugged into a back port USB and never a Hub or a front port, RSD doesn't like those.

[kirbyfree]

the one u gave me. ok i will try a back usb port. i was using a front.. ill let u know..

do i check the box "odm serial" in rsdlite?





UPDATE!: dang! ok i did it again in a back usb port but same thing!

an1 there?

[Dumba]

Yep, still here but also looking for answers and have not found too many yet.

[kirbyfree]

o thx so much. im looking too and trying everything i can....
