My phone was loosely sitting in my shirt pocket when it spontaneously dialed. In mid-call, and w/o any button presses, it dialed again. After I ended both calls, it spontaneously dialed yet again!!! At that point, I reset the phone. It came up with the password screen, and after I entered the password, it had the windows menu bar at the top, an otherwise black screen, and no response to buttons or touchscreen. :(
I figured I'd try a reflash. I'd been running Zoki's excellent NBD V8.3, so I decided to upgrade to V9.2. The RUU program would connect, but would stop at 0% when trying to reflash.
Next I decided to try to force the bootloader. When I tried resetting w/ the camera button held, I'd get a blank screen w/ no backlight. The only way to get the phone to boot was to pull the battery. After booting, it returned to the password screen.
Next I tried resetting while holding the Comm + Voice Dial buttons. That brought up "Press Send to restore factory default", or something to that effect. I did, it reformatted memory, and booted to the Windows Mobile splash screen. A few button presses brought up the "Tap the screen to set up your Windows Mobile device" message. But the screen is totally unresponsive.
Attempts to force the bootloader gave the same result as before. I would guess the primary bootloader is corrupt. Is there a backup bootloader? If so, how can it be accessed?
Now it will no longer connect w/ ActiveSync, so I can't run the RUU. I'm at an impasse.
Any help would be greatly appreciated! I'm 3 months away from the end of my contract and a new phone.
Thanks,
