My phone died, no damage, no dropping, no water, it just died in my pocket from one hour to another.

When I take out the battery, re-insert and try to power up the LED on the right hand side flashes three times. I've gathered this means software damage och EROM damage of some kind?

I've found lots of useful guides for SEtool2lite and xs++ and files to go with them but they all start the same, hold "C" and isert USB. When I do this nothing happens!:confused: If I connect using the hold "5+2" and insert USB it finds something but there seems to be problems with gdfs and/or EROM.

I tried the guide here for fixing EROM problems with this result when using "2+5" and identify:

ChipID:9900,EMP protocol:0301
BOOTROM MODE DETECTED
Speed:921600
Flash ID check:897E
Flash props sent ok
OTP LOCKED:1 CID:51 PAF:1 IMEI:XXXXXXXX CERT:N/A
FLASH CID:52 COLOR:RED
no ack during gdfs_readvar !
Can't read SCRC unit
Elapsed:84 secs.

I can't repair with Unlock/Repair as in the guide. I can't connect to anything using "hold C", no program recognises the phone. No service place I went to wants to fix this, they just want to sell me a new phone and I'm really strapped for cash.

I don't know if this is the right place for this question and I hope I don't upset anyone by asking this! I'm really desperate!

Best Redards!
