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.
