First thing you do is take the battery out for five minutes, then you charge it over nite. Then we go from there.

Either its GDFS is damaged or there is a hardware problem in the phone

Try these steps with SEtool v1.11, also use the Repair/Unlock option first.


(Posted by togelmania on forums.gsmhosting.com)
try this metode work for me 100% with setool

- backup first your k790 gdfs
- write k790 gdfs.bin
- rewrite your backup gdfs
- reflash with k790 firmware
- enjoy....


I got a k790 gdfs from 4shared.com and applied it, but i didnt dare to turn on the phone. Then i rewrote my previous gdfs (the one that wasnt booting, i didnt have a good gdfs backup), reflashed main and fs and it worked
