Help with bricked w810i

[silversnak]

I was trying to flash the phone but I obviously did something wrong. The GDFS is screwed up... when I try to restore the backup I run into this problem:

and that's where it hangs.

Any solutions?

The GDFS is from the phone you want to flash? If not you may damage the phone

[silversnak]

The GDFS I'm trying to flash to the phone is the backup I made from the phone. I tried flashing a bad firmware file to the phone (apparently it was encrypted, my mistake) and now the phone is in its current state of not turning on and giving that dump in XS++.

Also note that it is now saying n/a for Firmware.

Trying to restore this phone to work again; help appreciated.

Yes i had the same problem before some days and i just flashed my phone with MAIN.

[ts014]

your gdfs is FINE, your main is corrupt you try updating the phone with seus or get a proper .mbn main firmware file and flash the main.

I am having problems trying to flash the MAIN. Here are 4 dumps from SETOOL2:

use xs++3.1

[silversnak]

use xs++3.1

I did, and that's where the problems started. I was successful in changing the main from R4GC010 to R4EA031 generic with SETOOL2 lite and even had a couple of mods installed. However, the FS was giving me a config error anytime I tried opening up the menu. I tried flashing the FS with XS++3.1 and I got a flashing failed about halfway through (this is where the problem started).

Now most of the time in XS++ I get a "Sending db2010_cid00_prodid_p3l.bin..." and it hangs, or a "Sorry, your phone is NOT SUPPORTED / Sendinging shutdown signal to phone... / Shutting down..." message when I do try to flash the firmware, and SETOOL2 when it isn't giving me the dumps above and payload failed messages doesn't seem to ever flash the firmware this time even though it thinks it has.

So in all, I'm totally lost after trying to work with both of these tools for hours to get something going. Hopefully someone here has more experience and can help find a fix.

In setool2lite just add main (same by fs) and click flash .
I sure it solve.
Dont forget in setool2lite you must choose model phone correctly.
If you dont choose your phone dont trun after disconnect.
