I have a K800 and it did not turn on, instead I was receiving a flashing red light at the IR port. I followed the suggestions of various posts and updated the EROM through Wotan. The red light disappeared and I could turn on the phone but when I was inserting the SIM I was getting a flashing white screen. Because I had all the contacts on the phone with no backup I did not proceed with a full flashing with Wotan, instead I updated "successfully" through SEUS in order not to lose the data. I ended up with a flashing white screen with or without the SIM this time.

My intention is to use myphoneexplorer prior to the full flashing but the phone is not recognised. Any ideas of how to proceed?

I think you might've bunged it up even more by using SEUS... Flash again with Wotan or with XS++. Apparently you can do it for free with XS++ now.

Try this again. Reflash with XS++ then turn on phone (Do not enter SIM or M2 card yet), see if it will turn on. If not you may try to flash EROM FOTA with XS++ (enter it as MAIN firmware). See if it helps. Patients is key let the phone for few minutes before asuming it hangs.
