yes, the phone is CID36. Is there no other way? Is there any application out there that can flash a bad eprom using only the DCU-60 cable. Thanks.

You might have a way out of this situation. An aplication called "Sonic" from TopSony site claims to be able, in certain situations, to recover a dead phone and make it able to be reflashed. For details, please register with Topsony, as this is available only for registered users.
Good luck!

@eeiba well u must have a service cable to flash erom. Try this site http://www.ipmart.com/main/index.php they sell very cheap service cable there. I got mine there and it works like a charm in davinci client.

Read carefully before recommending a solution, people!

No there isn't.

The only way is with the service cable.

NO need to be hot headed here guys, Thanks a lot for your replies. Seems I really need that service cable. In any case, I'll try first to take by precious K750i to an "authorized" service center here in Manila.

I have known all this time using FAR that this ia a big possibility. Hard lesson learned : Never tinker with something you don't really know unless you're ready to face the consequences. I'm really hoping that my phone can be revived though.

Thanks guys.

reflash the phone if it does not work then it might be a hardware issue

what I am wondering is how were you able to flash your eprom when you don't have a service cable? is that possible? can anyone confirm this?

This post is useless, since eeiba decided to have his phone fixed in an authorized service center, but I must clarify something with danielcps.
You, mister, recommended a solution using a service cable, while eeiba asked for a solution that would work using DCU-60 only. Read again his SECOND post.
Since he already managed to flash it with the wrong EPROM, how did he do it? With DCU-60 and FAR plugin, my guess. And he was looking for a solution that would repair the phone using the same tools. You kept on recommending service cable, that's ok, but you didn't pay attention to his request.

Thanks guys for all your opinions, I've got it all sorted out. I brought it to a friend of mine who runs a cellphone repairshop here in Laguna. When he attached the fone to the PC using Cruiser, he wasn't able to detect the certificate of the phone so we optes to use a testpoint for the k750. Guess what, it worked. The phone was detected and happy me, I'm able to use the phone again. Unfortunately, while trying to reassemble the phone, the switch for the camera slider smapped, so although the phone is now working, i's still waiting for the camera flex cable to be rebuilt. (he says it possible to rebuild it anyway). So there, I now have a partially working phone in my hand.

I have flashed the eprom accidentally while applying the battery bug patch using gloadeer, but I placed the file in the eprom textbox instead of the GDFS textbox. Silly me. Like they said, experiance is the best teacher. I'm again tinkering with the phone but doing it a little bit more carefully now.

Thanks aagin guys.
