@bishshoy007.

Thanx a lot dude...u saved the phone...

My problem was I did the flashing but didnt do the customization. With the links you gave it worked like a charm. I have now backed up my GDFS and its going great.

Thank You very much

GDFS has to be matched with the firmware. If one is the part, the other is the parcel. So if you have corrupted your gdfs but your firmware is still the same and going on well, then only gdfs flashing will do. But in your case, I suggest you take down the tutorial completely.
The Main's Link is working well. You can try the other link:

sharat...

Try flashing to k818 again. I know if your gdfs has already recognize your k818 firmware previously, then now if you return to k818 your phone should work but without the network. What i personally think is that all these days since your phone was not in a good condition, the battery must have drained out. Thats what has happened to mine's, when i converted it to k810. I faced the same problem as you do now. And while charging it displayed "Charging Alien Battery" and however the battery did not take any charge.

If someone else has the same phone or the battery, you can give him your battery and after a fully charged condition, you know what to do. Repeat everything again. Also follow my latest (the second) tutorial by running over the gdfs. A red light blink usually means dead erom too. For that download the erom from :

flash the erom first as you do in main. Flash erom by selecting the bin file inside the archive as in main after flashing the firmware. Keep me updated. Sorry for late response. Also I wonder why they havent replaced your phone. You can insist.
