I bought the RAZR v3i from ebay but with no sim card.
It is locked to Orange so I had a previous sim card from another phone which works ok. But isnt registered with the RAZR phone (just wanted to make sure it worked ok) It had this in it:
Motorola CE, Copyright 2004 - V3i (R479_G_08.B4.34R)
So I tried RSD Lite 2.7 and tried to update it with:
R479_G_08.B5.3DR_reflash_mlp_MOTOX.shx
and now I get:
Critiacl Error
DE
AD
Can someone help. I didnt make a back up .....
Please help.
I tried the *+# with 1 hand and trying to put th ebattery in with another. But nothing happened (do I need to connect to pc to try this)
As the phone will not switch off itself.

I tried and no joy.
The only way i can get the phone to go off and on is with the battery.
Tried holding * + # even with the power button and nothing.
Any other help would be appreciated.

It;s this fone was power up and working ok before you insert the sim in?

yes, with no probs.
I had a spare sim (orange) from another phone just to test it and it was ok.
When i tried to flash it i left the sim in, does that matter?

It should not be, but this is a very bad error!!
You need to find some one with smart clip or ulimabox to repair PDS and then falsh it again for you.

But when i read on how to do the upgrade it didnt say anything about the sim card.
Where do i get :
multiflashflex & smart clip and the R479_G_08.B4.34R i had in my phone, what would be the newest one to get as i dont want to f**k this up again.
