Easier to understand format (i hope)
*Phone initially crashed when plugged into car charger and i tried to start mediabox. This is when it first entered the reboot loop.
*i had previously declined to update to pr1.3 over the air due to data restrictions from carrier
*i flashed using flasher-3.5.exe on win xp
*flashed using flasher-3.5.exe -F RX-51_2009SE_20.2010.36-2_PR_COMBINED_MR0_ARM.bin -f -R
*this didnt fix so i flashed again this time the emmc as well, i used
flasher-3.5.exe -F RX-51_2009SE_20.2010.36-2_PR_COMBINED_MR0_ARM.bin -f
then
flasher-3.5.exe -F RX-51_2009SE_10.2010.13-2.VANILLA_PR_EMMC_MR0_ARM.bin -f -R
*still no fix although all flashes were reported sucessful. I tried again for luck, even leaving off -R and restarting by taking battery in and out
*device starts as soon as battery is put in, and will enter reboot loop. There is no way to turn it off if the battery is in.
*i have tried using the verbose kernel kindly linked to by robbiethefirst but i can't read much of the displayed output. It appears the device initiates boot process then changes its mind and shuts down, then starts again.
*I can charge battery by holding "u" and plugging into wall charger, likewise flashing is no problem.
*i have only installed apps available in app manager.
things i am going to try:
-downloading the image file from robbiethefirst that should hopefully give a better understanding of the problem.
-re-downloading the image files from nokia in case they are corrupted for some reason.
-send the phone back and get a new one.
below is the original post i made:
Hi ppl,
I have searched a bit but havent found an identical problem, or any solution.
My phone is 3wks old, and i have only used the apps available in app manager. I did not update to pr1.3 over the air as i only had 50mb data allowance, and i have no internet access except dial up. The phone (internet tablet with phone capabilities...) entered the reboot loop when i had it plugged in to the car charger and tried to start media player. The loop displayed a dark screen with Nokia logo, and would diplay the flashing dots for about 3 cycles then the light would stop on 3rd dot. After reading similar posts on similar problems i downloaded both the update .bin files (RX-51_2009SE_20.2010.36-2_PR_COMBINED_MR0_ARM.bin & RX-51_2009SE_10.2010.13-2.VANILLA_PR_EMMC_MR0_ARM.bin) and the flasher utility. I can flash both images sucessfully however the phone will still not start, and the reboot cycle continues indefinately. I have tried starting it in rd mode and still get the same problem, however once it stopped on the 4th dot instead of the 3rd before rebooting.
I do not want to return the phone for warranty repair as i purchased it from an overseas importer (it came from hong kong, i think)
I am in australia.
I would like to try flashing with different/prior .bin files but the dialup connection means these downloads take 15-25 hours and the last 2 have failed at 90%...
thank you for reading this and i hope it has not been discussed anywhere else, all the posts i have read are solved by flashing.
cheers
