Very Dead S500i :( Help? Options

[vraptor]

I had modded this phone to a w580i a while ago, everything has been find when today my friend took out my battery, and when i put it back in there was just a red light flashing, i did a bit of research and people told me its the erom or gdfs, well id love to fix it but none of the programs seem to be able to read it, using c or 2+5 :S
XSS just hangs
setool says i have a fatal error reading gdfs and wont repair or flash the main etc
what can i do?

edit: setool error is:
Will backup GDFS now.

Did you back up the GDFS when you did the original mod

[vraptor]

I dont think i did But you see, setool cant even read the corrupt gdfs, so it seems almost impossible to actually restore it :S

Can you connect to XS++? Try doing that.

If XS++ output gives you "n/a" everywhere, then reflash your MAIN firmware (it has then gone corrupt).

[vraptor]

As i said, i try to connect through xss but it just hangs without detecting it,

[vraptor]

Try and charge the battery in another phone if you can.

[vraptor]

Its definately something insise as se tool gives gdfs errors and stuff but nothing seems to be able to get into it.

[philzfog]

err 29 means the battry it hasnt enthough power

[vraptor]

argh but i left it charging ... till this morning to see if it was that.

[vraptor]

hmm do you think then maybe the battery died, because, for starters se gets no signal when trying to connect without it, and second when i put in the charger cord the ligh flashes red once, aaaaaaaaaa

It maybe like catch22 you cant charge the battery in your phone because the charge in your battery is too low to powerup the firmware correctly and make it possible for it to charge. The only way I can see to elliminate this possibility is to try and charge you battery in another phone, or borrow a fully charged battery and try that. That may kick start the firmware again. its just a possibility
