I previously flashed my K800 using the K810 software, but wanted to go back to K800. THis turned out to be a bad choice.

The files i used to flash were:
K800_R8BF003_FS_EUROPE_2_RED52
K800_R8BF003_MAIN_GENERIC_WI_RED52
and a XS++ Customization pack (pursuant to a guide on this forum) ie choose K800 and Europe 2 in the customization section

This was done in XS++3.1 and upon completion there were no error codes. I disconnected the phone, turned it on and it said 'Please Wait'. It seemed to complete but i am not 100% sure as my eye was caught when the SE logo flashed up. When trying to turn the phone on after this i get nothing but a flashing red light. Searching on this forum i found this is a EROM problem and WotanClient or Setool2 could fix this. These are my results



Setool: It finds the phone, and even displays some information, it says 'Preparing Data' and after 10 mins (well 390seconds) the titles have no information in them. This is a copy of what is shown:

Please help, i don't want to lose this phone

[tomstevens08]

any ideas at all? PLEASE

[Boysie]

Have you tried the "Repair" function in SETool2lt (Connecting using 2 + 5) ??

[WizaJ]

You'll have to repair the EROM, take a look at this

[tomstevens08]

Thanks for replying.

Unfortunately i am unable to connect to program using the C button, and as you can see from the above copies i get very limited results from using 2+5.

The biggest problem is that no programs recognise the phone when pressing C, this is not a driver issue as i have tried on other computers.

After reading through the link you posted, i see there is a SeTool Lite 1.11, which i have upgraded to and this is the new result for pressing 2+5 (again pressing C does nothing)

I think the key section here may be the lines:
no ack during gdfs_readvar !
Can't read SCRC unit

Searching google came up with this: http://forum.gsmhost...p/t-544454.html , where someone mentions empty fill procedure. Any ideas if this is a valid option?


BTW i have backed up my GDFS so once i can get a program to recognise the phone when pressing C i can reload teh GDFS and reflash, but this is not an option as pressing C does not work, and as shown in my first post (and the paste from Setool 1.11 in this reply) pressing 2+5 at the moment is not working


Thanks for your advice so far

Have a look at this dude's post

@Speed
It appears he did.

@Tom
Purchase a service cable and attempt to flash a new MAIN & FS, if the SCRC unit is really corrupted then you'll have to execute an empty fill. (Un)fortunately, I've never attempted to do one because there has never been need for me to do one, but the basic procedure involves writing new SSW-type generic templates for GDFS and EROM or something similar.
I suggest you search Google, preferably for Russian results included, most likely you might find a guide and the files required for your phone. I wish you all the best, and may the Force be with you.

I'm sorry for my reply!

I must have read your reply to hasty Tom.

My apologies. Any updates on your phone by the way?

Greetings.

@wizaj - Thanks for the information. is this empty fill only possible with a service cable? Just if the cable costs a bit it might jsut be better to get a new phone ( a new k800 is about £60 in the UK) anyway. If i do get a service cable does it allow the computer to see the phone even though, at the moment, the phone can't using the 'c' method to connect to xs etc.

@Speeddevil - no worries, this is a newbie forum so to think i might have missed something is understandable. Its just a shame that the standard options don't appear to work in my case. So unfortunately the only update i can give you now is that i still have a bricked k800, a s700i with a cracked screen and no battery cover (legendary phone), and a k610 with a battery that doesn't last a day.


Thanks for all your help and responses everyone
Happy new yaer
