Dear All, my K790i won't turn on, when I tried to charge it there is a red light blinking next to the infrared, but after awhile the red light turned off. I pressed every buttons, but it still has no response......... I also tried to use Setool2li v.1.11 still no response........ (When I plugged in the usb cable, the red light blinked few times) :confused: Any advices on how to fix my k790i, greatly appreciated? Thanks!!! Mak
Your erom is corrupted.You need to fix the erom.Download the erom file from some source and flash it and also main and filesystem.This will solve the your problem.
Dear, Thanks for your reply! I had tried to connect my phone using xs++ and setool2lite v.1.11, but my phone still has no response.
When I used xs++, I hold "c" and connected the usb cable. It showed the following in the log window:
------------

10:57:52|
10:58:28| Error: Cannot open phone communication port
10:58:30| Disconnected... Unplug the phone

When I used Setool2Lite v.1.11, it just kept running no response so I had to manually stopped the detection.
