I'm getting the same error on my pw2 -- bought used and working fine up to and including jailbreak & kual etc. "Repair Code:2" -- anyone know what causes this and whether this is fixable? I install the repair pack, not sure if that will help in this situation though.

Right, so now I have gotten into diagnostic mode but cannot get out of it. I ran the "memorytester" and the results were entirely failures -- does this indicate that the hardware has failed? TIA.

However, I am running linux and do have ssh access to the device. I haven't found a how-to for re-flashing the firmware, but I am hesitant to do so anyway until I figure out what the memory test errors indicate. |

At least that is the intent of the factory test. |

 Time to send this thing back. On the bright side, I'm sure I could debrick a device in the future now, if I ever need to!

So I would agree: Memory test fail + Still in warranty = Send it home for an exchange. (Just tell them: "its broke" - they will not be interested in the details.) |
