Nokia E51 will not Boot turn on dead. How to flash firmware

I would really appreciate it if someone can help me out with my phone.

Last night I installed WalkingHotSpot 2.0 on my Nokia e51 and then when I turned on the app I got an error (3207; no idea what that means, but it wouldnt work). So then I shut my phone off, and when I tried to turn on the phone again it would not boot.

When I press the power button the following happens:
-Vibrates for 1 second + lcd back light comes on( stays lit for 18 seconds) + White LED turns on (stays lit for 8 seconds)
-Then the phone LCD goes dim for 9 seconds
- LCD flash ones
-goes dim again for 9 seconds
- LCD flash ones
-goes dim for 9 seconds
- LCD + LED flash ones
-shuts off seconds
(Please keep in mind that NOKIA screen never shows up and battery is 100% full)

If I plug the phone to the wall charger, the NOKIA BOOTUP picture comes up and then starts charging.

I tried the Green talk button + * + 3 combination several times but I got no result. How can I fix my e51? Is it possible to get it into flash mode and flash it with new firmware?

Hi,

If your E51 is still dead you can try a factory reset (at home)using....

Requirements

1)Phoenix Internal Service Software A 2006.40.1.245 (or newer)

2)Flash Update package(Datapackage RM-244 200.34.36_v2)

3)Nokia USB cable (DKU-2) for USB flashing...

Note:Recharge your battery to full before flashing...

All these softwares are used by nokia care.. and they are available on the internet...

Just you have to search them with patience

Wow, you are amazing. thanks for all of the input. I will try all of this now, and hope that my phone starts working. I will post back later tonight. Thanks again!

Hey,

I tried as you suggested but my computer will not detect my phone.

In the software I select USB as the connection, clicked on "Scan Product" and I get "No Product".

How can I get my PC to detect the phone? The only way I was told was with JAF, but i don't have that box. thanks

There is a solution but I think it's quite risky for you to carry at home, I found it unstable & could really kill your phone for good...that is plugging it in through your USB and running a software update with Nokia's own software, again I suggest you seek help for this, preferably sending it to the nearer Nokia Onecare center to have it done for you.

Hey,

I tried that as well, but I cannot get the computer to see the phone. Does the phone have a way of going into flash mode ?

I also called Nokia, and as it turns out my phone was made for the Singapore market ( I bought it in Jan. from eBay), and they will not touch my phone since it has foreign firmware.

That's odd coming from Nokia, I certainly wound't buy it if I was told that!! Gee man I don't know what else to think of for now.. I own an E51 as you do so I can imagine how this feels for you...it's a great phone. Don't throw your hopes though, if I'll think of something I'll contact you, as long as the phone is at least switching on there is hope.

Thanks for all the help in any case. I will try taking it to the city, and hopefully get some shop to fix it.
