Please supply one so we can answer it. Is it because you've failed with your FS flash.

why is it failing ? is the phone bad?

Probably the FS is corrupted. You can check it with a program called babecheck.

Is it worth going there? I mean if it's corrupted, can it be revived?

If the FS(the *.fbn file) is corrupted, then you cannot do anything with it. The only option to download a good FS for your phone/region.
So, again, I suggest you to check the FS firmware file with babeckeck, and you will know if there is something wrong with FS or with phone.

Looks like it;s the file

babeck K790_R8BF003_FS_AMERIC_2_RED52.fbn
babecheck [sswcheck] v0.5 by den_po

loading K790_R8BF003_FS_AMERICA_2_RED52.fbn... ok
db2020 cid 52 red
full hash
number of blocks: 217 (0xD9)
error! size of superblock doesn't match a hdr value
1st block addr: 0xFFFFFFFF
1st block size: 0x10000
error! 1st block's hash doesn't match a hdr value

Can someone point me to the correct working files please? For a K790A
For Canada?

K790_R8BF003_MAIN_GENERIC_EV_RED52.mbn is OK

but

K790_R8BF003_FS_AMERICA_2_RED52.fbn is bad

Yep, the FS is corrupted...
What language(s) you want to use? If English only, then you can use ANY FS. Or you can flash some older FS(the MAIN can remain the current one). For ex. R8BC004, R8BA024, R1KG001.
Another solution is to send a PM to Top Sony, and ask him to upload a working copy of this file.

Thanks to all My phone is now back in service.

Problem solved. Thread Closed
