can't connect K800i to XS++

[Martin_D]

I've messed up my phone by removing the battery without switching it off and now it won't switch on.

Downloaded SEtool2 lite and tried repaid, got the error 29 message, downloaded XS++ to try and fix that and i can't connect.. Have tried holding "C" while connecting and nothing happens (saw on some threads that holding 2 and 5 works), tried holding 2 and 5 while connecting and I get as far as "Baseband ID 9900, Protocol version 3.1" and then nothing more happens. at the bottom of the screen it says "Port opened OK" but i can't do anything and under configuration the "Flash, FSX, GDFS and PATCH" options remain unselectable.

Any advice on how to go further from here? I've never made a backup of the GDFS either which appears to be important in fixing the phones.

Thanks in advance.
