[QUOTE="Lazarus, post: 846331, member: 323322"] The Programme Editing Tool was what led me to brick my F3 and I have warned against others using it! Fortunately I quickly unbricked it and the procedure is the same for you. Have a look at the relevant Thread in this very sub-Forum (and possibly a few others therein), but basically you will need a Null Modem Cable USB to Serial Cable (About £1 from eBay), a PC with a Serial Port (Using a USB converter is known not to be successful), a copy of Firmware dated prior to the one already loaded (You can upgrade again once it's up and running) and a recovery package to be found widely across the Internet, called erom_upgrade_8Mflash. It's a straightforward process already detailed in this part of the Forum, and in the ReadMe file that comes with the fix, so I'm not going to post it again in detail - just do a bit of reading, be confident, and give it some wellie. AND NEVER AGAIN USE THE EDITOR!!!!!
