Dead flashing issues different commands to the phone.
If the phone is on, a different process is used to initialize the flashing procedure. In a dead flash, you are able to flash firmware that the phone would not otherwise accept by bypassing authorizations.
i hate to be the bearer of unpleasant news, but your error messages are indicative of you making a mistake somewhere; either in technique or file placement, availability or nomination.
Double, triple, quadruple and quintuple-check EVERY single file. Compare all screenshots for clues as to Win7-specific procedure and read the entire thread of all Phoenix tutorial posts to find out where you are going wrong.
Basically, start from square one and forget what you think you already know. You have already indicated you have misread and done it your own way, mate. Phoenix glitches a bit sometimes, but if you follow proper protocol, it will flash the phone.

Well, I'll try again but I really don't know where this mistake could be. The firmware files and the flashing instructions are the ones you posted. In my previous post I followed your instructions step by step. If I have any different result I'll post it...  :(

My instructions are only the flash; there is more to it than that. The error messages you are getting are related to issues with your files for flashing. You have to make certain you have all the right files in the right place and no other sets of files floating around on your computer. If there are incomplete sets or broken files, Phoenix will not be happy.
Find a few tutorials for Phoenix (there are many) and study them for clues; maybe you are missing something reeeeally simple or maybe you are missing just one important step.
i have run into the same errors you have in my experience, so i know that they are from making an error, not because Phoenix or the phone are broken.

After verifying all files and that there is only one set; here is a note for your preparation: when changing versions of Phoenix, the way my flashing cable drivers get installed is this (and please note that i am only giving the required steps one by one - no jumping ahead or assuming):
1. Open Phoenix
2. File menu > Open Product
3. Flashing menu > Firmware Update
4. Product Code menu > ... (select product code)
5. Remove battery from your phone and hold power for a few seconds, then connect the USB (and never use the main USB port) and insert the battery.
Now Windows should install the flashing cable drivers for your phone.
6. Let it finish (the icon in the system tray indicating new hardware will go away) and close Phoenix and disconnect your phone.
7. Open Phoenix and repeat the previous steps (with the battery out of phone and the phone is not to be connected) for the dead flash.
8. Go through with the flash (and i think Refurbish would not be a bad call on this one) and connect the USB cable then insert the battery (and do NO MORE than that) when prompted by Phoenix. DO NOT press anything on the phone.
9. Phoenix should be prepping the flash...
10. Click OK and hold your breath  ;)

Hi,

I uninstalled everything and installed Phoenix again. I found no issues on the Internet regarding Phoenix installation under Windows 7. It installed without any problems.
Then I started following your instructions and step 5 did not work. Like I said before when you asked about my drivers, they only install when I power on the phone. Doing as you instructed on step 5 nothing happens. I waited for some time, but Windows does not detect anything.
What's next? (if there is a next step...)

Now, you call in the big dog: Nokia Care.
There is no reason it should not work if you are doing it as prescribed.
The deadest of dead phones take that flash (even the E6 after two rounds of N8 firmware still accepted this flash).
A bricked E72 has taken it a number of times as well, so i know v3 phones accept a dead flash.
Mate, i am sorry, but if this is not working you have no option but to hand it to Nokia for the flash. Their software broke your phone so they should be obliged to repair it.

Like I said, my phone is not on warranty anymore, so I guess they will not feel any obligation to repair it.
And my Windows can detect my phone and install the drivers, but I have to turn the phone on. Should it not be worth the try to follow your instructions, but then turn on the phone on step 5?

That is what you have to ask them to find out. If you just assume they will not and do not ask, they will never do it, right?
You have already tried it that way and reported it was not working.
i told you i would give it a go, but you are not willing to take me up on that and i am not able to do more than tell you the procedure otherwise.
One last try at help, though. Try deleting your files and use Phoenix to download them:
Tools > Data Package Download
Enter your product code and let Phoenix find you a set of files to flash.

That option is non existent in my Phoenix. Then I tried to install another version and there isn't that option either. My Phoenix is version 2012.50.001.49220

Hi,

my phone is a nokia 701 dtv (RM-774). When I bought it had the product code 059M727 and software version 111.020.0307. I changed the PC to 059G9T4 and updated for belle 113.010.1506.

Last week I downloaded OFW via nokia care suite and I tried downgrade the system. Obviously, I bricked the phone :P

I followed steps to flash dead phones and tried Phoenix SW reset with OFW (RM-774 111.020.0307), but always get the message:

" The flashing failed. Do you want to retry the flashing?
HRESULT 0x8401f141 (-2080247487)
Flash: Boot rom was not detected after phone boot up. Unable to start flashing. "

The phone will not turn on and when I hold power button only performs one vibration.

In a post I read: "are you downgrading your phone? if "yes" then you just killed your phone..... to make it alive again download Pr1.2 through navifirm flash with that. n then flash with whichever you want to flash."
What this mean?
What the right steps to revive the phone?

Tks!

As far as i know, there is no known stable method to downgrade the Belle devices from the FP software versions. You can flash the newest firmware (no need to change your product code) using Dead phone USB flashing > Refurbish to get it back.

Hi matthew

Problem is that the last version to my phone model is 111.020.0307 (RM-774) and I had installed 113.010.1506. It's possible refurbish in this case?

Refurbish using the latest firmware.
