Hey guys. I could sure use some help on this. No service cable or flash SW/ firmware on hand, so I am hoping for a solution via the keypad -:sad5:

Phone - 6340i - unlocked
Carrier - Cingular GSM w/ GAIT

Phone has worked fine for years. I made a call at 2pm and then could not make one at 3pm.... I looked at the screen and a message appeared " NO SERVICE". I went to power cycle the phone but it would not turn off in the normal manner. I pulled the battery and put it back in , powered it up... battery strength 100%, and zero SIGNAL strength bars. Dialed "611" for Cingular support - no dial tone or clicks... then the message "Error in System Connection"..

I accessed Net Monitor and ALL values for the carrier are missing - yup, everything

Also, all data for phone ownership missing. The SIM still has my phone book info though..

*#0000# provides the following data :
Software 8.03.1
Build date 10-01-03
RH-13
(c)NMP

*#06# will present the IMEI and ESN...

ALL netmonitor screens are devoid of carrier-related data.

*#7780# for reset, initiates call attempt labeled "requesting", it fails of course with a 'No Service" message. Most other codes either do the same or freeze up the phone ( *#786# - Diagnostics, *#639# number reset,etc..all fail)

Some Netmonitor screen info -

I can provide additional screen data if needed.



Cingular CSR’s were absolutely trumped as expected. Message to Nokia may not be processed for many days, if ever.


So, that about it - any ideas? :cool:
