Hi,

I had a similar problem with a tracfone branded c139 (ftmtool error). On
IRC, Hoernchen mentioned an older post where the author "fixed" the
bootloader. He also mentioned a pastebin that referenced a tool called
mot931c. I managed to find it and could successfully reflah my tracfone's
bootloader, which now loads osmocom-bb without issue. Here's the reuploaded
software package:
