Hello everyone!
I'm new to posting on these forums, but I have lurked and learnt quite a lot, so I thank the many wise members in this forum. However, I have a new problem I found which was caused by the solution to an old problem. I have a Samsung E530 that was on Orange which had the annoying problem of resetting itself every now and again or cutting calls. I spoke to a guy at Samsung and he thought it was a software problem as there was nothing else wrong with the phone. Being poor an' all, I decided to flash the phone myself using the USB PC Link Cable (I had flashed a LG U880, so I wasn't completely new to it).
After a bit of tweaking and a LOT of trial and error, I finally flashed the phone using Optiflash 4.16 and revelled in all the extra stuff that appeared (I had some extra European languages, but at least English was there!). However today, I decided to look at the IMEI and discovered to my horror it was all zeroes! I had read about this before, but I never thought it would actually happen. I didn't change the settings from their defaults, so I expected it was something that just happens and you have to fix it afterwards.
I searched long and hard for WinIMEI, as I was told it was the right app for the job, and I finally found it today and it's specifically for E530 and E720. There was no guide with it, so I had to wing it. I set up the phone model, buyer/country, and COM port. I checked if it could read the IMEI of the phone. it said "PASS" and gave all those zeroes. I clicked on the "Change IMEI" button and typed in my original IMEI. I clicked on "Go All" and watched as the log window filled with stuff I couldn't dream of understanding. Then I got a big red box saying fail!
What could've happened? The same thing that happened everytime I tried today. It keeps stopping at "FL:NVMFULL_RESET!-Thread1. Does ANYONE know what this means and how I rectify it? I see the phone doing stuff, so I know it must be able to be done using this cable, so it must be something I've done or HAVEN'T done. I really want to sort this out. The phone works fine, but I don't know how long it will last as I'm on T-Mobile. Please help anyone, if you can.

Never mind. I sorted it out on my own, and it feels good to have worked on it. Phone is perfectly fine now! ^_^
