I've made this little guide so that more users will be able to use HyperTerminal in detecting phone HW problems. Too many users are blaiming SETool for their dead phones.
Case:
Let's say you're only getting a white screen when turning your phone on, or that you're getting the infamous "Can't get packet properties."-error.
Solution:
Either pick a random reason (and that won't do much good for your phone)or do the following to see if the phone itself can provide you with a hint:
1: Open HyperTerminal (Start->Programs->Accessories->Communications).
2: Configure a name for the connection. I've called mine "Debug".
3: Select the proper COM port.
4: Configure baudrate and press "OK".
5: In the "Transfer"-menu, click "Capture Text", then choose a path and name for the log. You will see that the "Capture" indicator has been activated.
6: Attach a powered-off phone (the phone might start charging, this is OK). Give it a minute or two to run selftests, then post the captured text as an attachment if you want an opinion from us.
If you see this during flashing, it's safe to assume that SETool is not to blaim. (The above error is not related to a case of WSOD, it's only for demonstrational purposes).Code:FSFLASH: NAND Flash device @ [0x50000000-0x5FFFFFFF] 262144 Kb FSFLASH: Vendor (0x20): ST FSFLASH: Device: NAND02GR3B (0x00AA) ............
