I have a K800i which I had flashed to K810i R8BA024, added light effects and it was working perfectly for 6 months.
In the past few weeks, the Camera shutter button stopped working.
I went into phone diagnostics and the button seems to work perfectly, i.e. 'Camera Focus' for partial press, then 'Camera Capture' when fully depressed.

Rather than use XS++ to reflash, I tried SEUS, which flashed the phone to K800 R8BF003.
The camera shutter still doesn't work.

Now, when I try XS++ to flash from scratch, in the status window I get...
"Warning: IMEI name does not match GDFS name (IMEI:K800 GDFS:K810)"
"...using IMEI name"

Then...
"Sorry, your phone is NOT SUPPORTED"
"Error: FSX failed."
"FSX Shutdown!"

I can't seem to get flashing any more.

Does anyone know if its possible to get around this?

Thanks in advance.

I had the same error with my k790. I dont exactly remember what i did. Now my phone works fine. I tried to restore my gdfs but dint work. I guess it happened cos you dint flash the both the main and the fs. Try downloading a matching k810 fs and main and try flashing into it. If it gets successfull...do pm me:)

Goldmen, my thanks once again.
I went through that tutorial, My K800 is now a K810i again and my shutter button is back working.

One other question, I was quite content on CID52 and using XS++. Is it possible to go back to this, or am I stuck on CID53?

Bad news only...
It`s impossible to downgrade CID!No way back!
Also patching of CID53 is not possible yet...
Must wait for someone to break it.
I mean free...

Now that I'v got my light effects on too, I'm pretty much where I want to be.
Thanks again.
