Hi all

This is my first post so apologies for it being a request for help but I was directed here by a fellow forum user who managed to unbrick his K800i. This is my post from another forum which pretty much details my problem:

I have done extensive searching on trying to fix this problem and think I am halfway there. Basically I have the dreaded WSOD. Initially I tried the EROM reflash using Wotan (forgot I already had a credit there and bought a second one!!!!!!). Anyway this is what it said when I try it with 2+5:

Connect your phone, pressing "C"
waiting...
phone found.
DB2020 detected
LOADER: OK
FC ID: 89 7E
EROM: starting update
EROM: done
ERROR:
SEMCSEC status 3
==FAILED==
Duration: 00:02

If I connect whilst pressing 'C', I get:

Connect your phone, pressing "C"
waiting...
phone found.
DB2020 detected
LOADER: OK
FC ID: 89 7E
EROM: RED CID52
OTP: RED CID51
OTP: IMEI xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx
GDFS: K800i
GDFS: CDA102511/130

Now you can choose Main and Filesystem files, and alter other settings.

I then decided to try KulanKendi to see if this flashed the EROM ok and after selecting NO in the options for < CID53 it said it had been successful.

However after plugging it into Wotan again and trying the phone it still seems to be bricked. My next step is to flash the firmware using the Press 'C' option and using Wotan but my problem is that I am not sure which firmware to pick. My K800i is an unlocked (paid Vodafone) but still branded to Vodafone one. I didn't want to debrand it due to it reversing the two buttons on the keypad so I just want to flash it with the right Vodafone firmware. If someone could direct me to which options I should pick in the Wotan client I would be really grateful.

Finally I presume that flashing the firmware is going to wipe everything from the phone: contacts, pics, texts, etc?


I am in the process of reading up on this XS++ but it is quite new to me and I really have no idea which are the right files to pick.

Thanks again

BA
