My 3230 starts using itself by its own. i installed many 3rd party softwares yesterday. I flashed its rom, take out mmc. but still i switch it on it starts calling or sending message. no key works meanwhile

Broken USB device.

Solution here: http://vuorikoski.fi/lacie_usb.html

Tested and worked !

Try a different software to format the pendrive. I uploaded a 3rd party software that will help you format the pendrive.
Connect the pendrive to the computer and after that run the software and format it.

I scanned with Panda Antivirus and Kasperky.

If you need further assistance just post.

Your problem may reside in your application "ini" files which have been corrupted or virally infected, you can try the following, please let me know if this helps.

" Normal Reset (*#7780#) : Restores ini files from rom but preserves user data (photos, 3rd party apps etc) "

Go to device manager and delete the CD-ROM Drive and restart the system (this will get auto installed). You can also do a System Restore to a point/date when the issue was not present. (start > all programs > accessories > system tools > system restore)

open the disk file where qb is and look at 3rd party files
then click flash 7 and ignore when it says error
then the darn thing will install no other solution listed works !
but this just did

1) when i switch on my phone it always tells me "phone start-up failed, please contact your retailer"..

2) how do you reprogram the nokia 3230 phone?

flash the phone and use again . code to flash is *7780# AND *7370#

hi vjvinayak,
according to maklean, may be it not be possible to upgrade firmware by ourselves. But, damnly it is not necessary to buy 3rd party flashers because it can be done by ourselves easily also.
Process for it is :
1) if u want to save ur data, then backup it 1st in ur MMC.
2) turn off the phone.
3) press and hold 3 buttons ( green dial button + * + 3 keypad ) at once and turn on the phone.
4) hold those buttons until formatting screen appears.
5) when it is completed, phone is to be restarted.
6) and my work is finished.
===============================================
I guarantee u that this method will flash ur phone rom.
If u like this method, send me feedback. I will help u in other cases also. I have a large database of codes or tricks to use in mobile phones.
