8703e - Memory Scan "Out of Range" error

[markymark805]

I haven't been able to figure this out.

I was scanning memory for esn's in 5 different Verizon 8703e's and all of them kept giving me

"Out of range: Read Error at Address 102A:0000"

that was on all of them. I was doing a full scan and got it and i even tried scanning 1013:10D7 like the Master Repair Guide on here said to scan for, for all other berries that were not Storms like it said, and still got the same error on all 5 five phones, then it gives me a

"service required" message on the phone that doesnt go away until I do a battery pull.

Originally was just trying to repair the esn on a zero'd out 8703e, so i tired the other ones becuase I didnt know if I was havn the issue becuase the esn had gotten zero'd out.

All of them are running on OS 4.1.0.377 , so figured that should be a low and old enough OS that cdma ws wouldnt give me the errors.

Do i need to downgrade to something lower then what I have? Or something else going on that?

Thanks in advance!

Im starting to think it might just be the area im scanning doesnt have the ESN in it, so Ill to keep trying to modify the range on my scan I guess.

I would try upgrading it to 4.5.0.131. That is the version I downgrade/upgrade to anytime I have a problem reading spc from the memory.

I thought upgrading it to that will make it harder? but I guess I'll give it a try, so far havent been able get the right area or I get that same error trying to find the esn spots.

****UPDATE**** FOUND THE CORRECT AREA TO SCAN

Okay, After changing the scan area around for a while, I finally got the correct area to scan from the looks of it.

I successfully repaired the ESN for the 8703e I needed to repair. And then tried scanning this area on 7 other 8703e's I have that were all having the out of range issue when using 1013:10D7 as the master repair guide stated to use for all other Berries but the Storm 9530.

I just scanned 1000:1028 ..... I found the same 7 ESN locations on all the 8730e's I scanned.

Those area's where :

1005:77F4
100F:327C
1013:3040
1014:5610
1014:56EC
101E:D0C0
1027:01C1

Hope this helps!

mark i have a guide posted here on the blackberry storm from start to finish. The best thing to do when scanning blackberries is to nuke them (remove the software) with MFI multiloader first. That way there is nothing in the software that will interfere with the scan. Just remember, you cannot nuke BB's that have an MEID, only ESN's.

Pac3comm,

Thanks alot, ive used that guide several times before, and its been tremendously helpful.

I was just having issues with the general area adv to scan given in the tutorial , as far as just for the 8703e's went. For pearls and curves that general area adv to scan works great everytime for me. I had several of them with the same area scan errors so didnt know if it was model specific or just due to the software version on the phone.
I didnt know that nuking them would fix it though, that would of saved me a ton of time trying to find the right area's to scan im sure.

Thanks alot for all the information! Appreciate it.
