iNew V3 crash and dead

[filipgrk]

Hello everyone ,

The last couple of days i am having the following problem . My iNew V3 was working perfectly , untill all of a sudden all the applications started crashing and then the phone froze . I couldnt do anything to unfreeze it so i took off the battery . After that the phone was dead , no led when powered on the cable , no boot no nothing . I tried all the possible button combinations to get it to recovery mode but nothing . At some point after some hours when i plugged it onto the computer , it came to life so i boot it up and after around 20 minutes the same happens , everything crashed and then it froze .
Anyways this happened a couple more times and i managed to back up my contacts and stuff . Now the phone even after i leave it alone for many hours it wont boot up even if i plug it again on the comp . I tried to flash it with flashtools but it doesnt do anything it stays at 0% .

Any thoughts?

Thank you in advance .

Did you install PC drivers before the flash process? Try again and use this picture instructions:

Hello Jolly ZG and thanks for the response .

I tried this method step by step , but at the point where i have to do the firmware update it gets stuck .

Actually at thta point i plug in my phone and the pc makes the plug in sound , after some seconds it does the other sound as if you have unplugged the device . I tried that with 2 different cables and still the same .

When i get the plug in sound in the device manager there is a ALCATEL Single RNDIS Interface #2 device under Network adapters .

Any thoughts ?
Edit1: after i uninstalled all my usb devices from the pc and restarted it i got this one from SP Tools .

If you have a second PC USB port, try it over and try to sp flash tool v3.1344
I always use it and never have a problem,maybe help.

install pda net then restart the PC and try again

EDIT: you have to try several times .. do not give up if the first attempt fails

Really looking forward to your efforts, but I'm sorry because it can not solve the problem. I use Windows 7 and only write exactly as I am 50 times flash for several months without problems. Uninstall all drivers and try again, but the only thing I did not mention that you need to "flash tool" to right click and run as administrator. You are doing so? Perhaps this is a problem in the process of flashing. I hope that will fix it.

ok i tried again the last couple of days . I am on windows 7 32bit and i am running the tool as administrator . Still the same error . A friend of mine says that its a common problems for generally chinese phone companies to use warn up or bad quality flash memory and that it dies within a few months of usage .
Anyway i contacted the store that i bought the phone from its still in warranty . I sent them a video of the phone not working and they asked me to send it back to them so taht they will repair it .

My question now , is it worth it ? i mean i will spend more than 60$ in shipping costs , is it worth it or should i just buy a new phone ?
