Lobster is dead? it should be cooked! :(

[bocsta]

Is the Lobster/monet ROM floating around somewhere ?

You've probably either sorted this by now or binned the phone but I thought I'd post anyway as it may help others.

You don't describe what you mean by dead but have you tried hard reset?

WITH PHONE SWITCHED OFF (in your case remove and replace the battery)

1. Press and hold soft1 and soft2 keys (i.e. menu keys).
2. Press and hold power button for around 1 to 1.5 seconds. Release power button. Keep holding both soft keys.
3. After a while, black screen should show instructions asking user to press '0' key to reset to factory default.
4. Press '0' within the timeout period (which is very brief).
5. If instructions don't appear on the screen, repeat steps 1 to 4.

You have to flash it using it's original rom (for locked device).

but if you phone is CID UNLOCKED you can flash it using ROMIUPDATE. just put the phone in bootloader mode and run the RUU Update.

I think thats you right, then the question is when I want to write into with MTTY, with which soft do I draw ROM? Please share successful experience, thanks ~

MttY?its so easy?ehe

Hello folks. The friend of mine has screwed up his Lobster, and now he wants to take a dump from another one. The problem is, mtty says r2sd command is unknown... he tried to issue password command, but we don't know the peoper password.

Does anyone have the proper password for bootloader? Or better... does anyone have a rom dump? It'd be appreciated... :D

I just somewhat bricked my Lobster today after installing fonts and ce-star into my device. I was so scared I nearly crapped my pants.

I stumbled upon your detailed instructions and it saved my thing, thank you so much =]

I've found this link...

ftp://koxoguest:koxo%2Ecn@ftp.koxo.cn/sp/rom/Lobster_700_tv_os.rar

Its supposed to be the ROM for the lobster. I however cant get it to work as my lobster is stuck on a white screen during boot and cannot get into Activesync. Can anyone advise How i can get into Bootloader mode? I have tried holding Camera key but to no avail...

[prodigyfied]

try taking out the battery, then heating the back of the phone for a while
I did that on my brother's phone(his Lobster "died" the same way) on a sunny day leaving it to heat up for about 30 minutes of sunshine
after that put the battery in and try booting again :)

[zerodaemon]

OMG......:(:(

[caidawei]

you can say it clearly
are you update the rom?
if so ,may be the word storage is broken
