S500i red light flashing...

[rievax]

Hello,

My nephew "stole" my S500i and had some fun with it. My phone is a Hong Kong phone and he tried to install the French language to it. He told me that he:

1- Downloaded and installed XS++3.2
2- Flashed the MAIN and FS that were of the good "type":
- S500_R8BE001_FS_AMERICA_1_RED52.fbn
- S500_R8BE001_MAIN_GENERIC_LY_RED52.mbn
3- Flashed the GDFS with S500_GDFS.bin

All the files were found on this web site.
Now, the phone is not turning on anymore. A red light is flashing 6 times and that's it.
XS++ doesn't show anything now. Only SEtool2 can show me this:

I tried the repair, recover etc... but it is never ending and doesn't work.
Is there any way to recover it? (I have a backup of the GDFS apparently...).

Thanks,

Xavier.

It's because GDFS of other S500 had been flashed on it. if you have the original backup GDFS of your phone, not from other, then rewrite the GDFS that you have back up.

Ok but what if you dont have a backup of gdsf??? Thank you

if you didn't have backup, then you need to send it to a repair shop
