Hi to all,
hope anyone can help.
I've got a spa303 2. hand. After starting it first time the phone runs in a mode where I can check the lamps, handset, speaker, etc..
In the display is written "ManufTest 303"
In the WEB GUI it shows:
Software Version: 3.0.2(MAN0409)
Hardware Version: 0.1.0(manuf)
Serial Number: 00000000000000
I searched but with no result and tried many things (factory reset, upgrading, restoring FW, ...) but it keeps always starting in this mode.
Is there any documentation about this mode and how to get the phone back to normal operation?
Thanks for any help.

Now you know why someone sold such unit.
Unfortunately, there is no documentation related to such mode as far as I know. In advance, no one but you and one russian guy has been affected by issue like it so far. And no one found solution.
So what we can do now ? You have access to WEB GUI, so the device have network connectivity. So it should be syslog&debug capable. Let enable syslog&debug (highest level) messages, configure syslog server on a computer (there are some even for Windows) and catch all messages issued during phone's boot. It may or may not reveal something important. I'm very interested to see this kind of log.
In the meantime, we can guess only. The phone may be in manufacturer's test mode because of:
1. special firmware in it
2. POST failed
3. manufacturers configuration data are damaged or erased
4. ordered by a jumper on motherboard
5. configured by vendor's secret command or specially crafted configuration file
Now about more about the cases.
Because of all-zero's serial the [3] is my favorite. But remember - this comment is blind guessing game only.
You may call SMB Support Center and ask for help as well. I count such attempt as "no chance", but it costs almost nothing to try it. But if you wish to make me happy, catch the syslog&debug first, as suggested above ;-)

Hi Dan,
thanks for your fast reply and afford.
Just to correct your point one. I tried to replace the FW but I don't think it was done, since the phone has not shown any reaction.
I'll try to get the syslog & debug informations and post them - might take a few days due to lake of time.
Second I'll call the SMB Support.

What firmware version you tried to flash into phone ?
Lets allow me to explain the background. There are two firmware instances in the phone. The bootstrap one and the standard. The first one is stripped one version of firmware used for the purpose of broken standard firmware recovery. In most case I'm aware of the bootstrap firmware is the 7.4.4 version. Bootstrap firmware is fixed and not affected by firmware upgrade. The standard firmware is subject of upgrade, so it have various version.
If you read firmware Release Notes, you are aware that no pre-7.5.2b firmware can be upgraded to a post-7.5.2b directly. It must be upgraded to 7.5.2b first.
If you will try to upgrade pre-7.5.2b do post-7.5.2b directly, the phone will apparently accept it, but in the fact nothing will happen.
In your particular case we know nothing about the current firmware version. We even don't know the phone is running standard or bootstrap image.
So if you tried to upgrade the phone using a post-7.5.2b version, try again using 7.5.2b or older (but not so much older). It may, or may not, help.
