Thanks a lot for your reply. I tried this unsuccessfully. is it not possible to flash across to the U-boot memory directly ? Thanks
Hey wolverin1, U-Boot is the bootloader. It is part of the .img file you downloaded and flashed to the microSD card (or to the eMMC). If no bootloader on the eMMC or the microSD card is found it will boot into MaskROM mode. Because your phone boots into MaskROM mode we know that you do not have a correctly flashed microSD card inserted (or the card is inserted wrongly, such as the wrong slot or not all the way in - make sure the card is in the top slot). Once you get the card to boot you can simply overwrite the eMMC from there.
So your steps are:
1) Flash a microSD card correctly
2) Insert it into the phone, top slot and all the way
3) Boot the phone
4) Overwrite the eMMC
If the microSD card fails to boot then there is an error in step 1 or 2. I would suggest you to post the exact command and the exact filename of the image you used to flash the microSD card.
