Anyway, my bird works for voda and she checked the imei number to see if its on their blacklist but it isn't.. So the problem.. phone switches on, Nokia appears on the screen followed by the dots, freezes then turns off. I've flashed both images like 10 times with no difference. Any idea's anyone?? The phone worked fine before it was lost so there's no reason it shouldn't work now right?
Thanks in advance
Can you be sure it is not on a blacklist somewhere because if your friend has reported the emei for instance to his insurance then it will probably found it's way to get blocked, this would have happened when the device was turned on and sent its "id", the symptoms do sound like a blocked device but if not it will be ok after a re-flash unless it has sustained component damage in its "lost" period.
