Help please !Dead V8 !!!

[vernicex]

Hello, I need you help
I tried to flash the new boot loader to my V8. But I use windows vista, and I couldnt get RDS Lite to work with vista so I tried P2K Tools 3.0.8.864, it did flash the V8, but not completely, right after it erase the flash, it hanged, so now my V8 is an empty one, even without bootloader.
I still can get RDS and P2K tools recognize my phone, the screen wont turn on but when I plug the V8 into my computer, RDS still recognize a s-blank device or something like that, P2K tools still say flash connected
I have tried installing windows xp and try to flash a few thing to the V8, I tried an official firmware, the linux mod and I even tried to flash only the bootloader. But none of them worked. RDS say The superfile selected is for reflash. You must use a rom superfile.
Now should I do now ? Is my V8 completely dead ? Do I have any chance to fix it ?
P/s : my v8 is a 512mb one

I would take your V8 to a service centre and let them sort it out...

[vernicex]

Isn't there anyway other than that ?
Too bad I did not make any backup

Damn dude, sorry, but i dont think there is much else to do besides what ferrarix just said...

[InsecureSpike]

yep Ferrarix is right,
or take it back to the place you got it and tell them,
you tried to Update your F/W via Motorola Phone Tool,
and it just died

[[With Teeth]]

Ahh lying. the basis of the worlds social system

It seems we have the first V8.

Testpoint hasn't leaked for the V8 yet as far as I know...

I'd suggest to visit the moto ss, and use the LYING method....
You can use RSD Lite on Vista all right, as I do.

You'll need to disable UAC (User accounts control) for this.
Use RSD Lite 3.9 and right click on setup file (.msi). then select compatibility mode for XP. If there's no such option, then use right click and "Run as admin."..

That'll install it. Don't use other than 3.9 though.

Best Luck to revive ur V8. Get back to modding soon!

Did you try force boot ?

Take the battery out and press and hold * # power keys, meantime put the battery back. If you're lucky, It may start in bootloader mode

[vernicex]

I think it still start fine, rds and p2k tools still recognize it I dont need to press any button though, but yep, rds fail to flash it with the error : "The superfile selected is for reflash. You must use a rom superfile."

Simple question m8, Did you try force boot and can you see bootloader menu ?

Here's a full flash for the 512MB one, Try to flash it just with RSD Lite 3.9. Never use P2KToolsVS for flashing Magx phones.
