Suggesting a service centre is no good as the phone has been flashed using DaVinci, which theoretically voids the warranty.
I'm sure DaVinci has a method of doing a full re-flash. I know SE Tool does. Contact the DaVinci team and explain the problem, and I'm sure they'll tell you the answer. |

I tried using SE tool to recover,.... but still the same thing! 
I don't think there's SE service center new by. I bought this K700 online. K700 is not even officially introduce in my city. |

I suggest the following then:
Get yourself a DSS-25 synchstation, load the drivers onto your pc and then try to use SEUS (  's update service) but select recovery mode when you are about to flash it. The service should be albe to recover your dead phone.
Here is the link to SEUS:

Give it a try...it may just work.

Unless the firmware flashed from Davinci would show the service centre the phone wasn't flashed with SEUS, they won't know any different but yes it is supposed to void the warranty.
I wouldn't bother contacting Davinci for help after a bad flash though. I did and they never gave me any help but just their credit price list. |

Updating your phone over the internet is a risky business. I killed my phone this way and had to send it to the service center for repair. If it isn't broke, don't fix it.
