8180 Blinking After Flash Downgrade

[jjogola]

Hi?
I wanted to unlock an 8180 V11f so I flashed the DRIVE_C with version 105 (which now seems to have been a mistake), but I then went ahead and flashed the files for V105, and the phone powered on but could not see the simcard. I then flashed V11F (four files) but now the phone is just blinking when I try to power on. I had made a full flash back-up before starting the whole procedure but it was saved in BIN format. Is there a way I can fix it back to work once again? How can I convert the saved full flash in a format that I can flash it back to the phone?
The phone is still detected by the s/ware and doesn't need the test point.
I will be very grateful if anyone can assist me in this repair.
Cheersin advance.

Thanks, but where do I get those files?
I have revived the dead phone by using the *.bif file via test point. I then unlocked it by redbox and the phone can power on now but has no display. Can you kindly tell me how to go about repairing the phone now? I also need where I can get the flash files you have mentioned.
Cheers.

Hi AndreS?
I have flashed the 4ne with the files you gave but the problem is still there. The screen just blinks white but stops there.
Is there a way I can flash back teh original full flash that I read and saved before I started the whole process? I read it using Blazer but it is in *.BIN format.
I will appreciate any help to get the phone alive once more.
Thanks.

i suggest you a method to revive the phone.
flash it with 8138 patched flash from support, unlock, flash again with 8180 tached (with TP) and the phone must work.
try and post results.

Hi?
I want to try that method you have posted then give an update...
Here are the files I have. I still don't have access to the Blazer support, but i requested. I lost my user details.
I have:

drive_c_cid41_r.ssw
drive_media_cid41_r.ssw
FS_Rec_IT_cid41_r.ssw
U8180_phone_wcdma_4mbram_41r.ssw

I dont have the patched flash for 8138 so if you have them, kindly give me a link I download then flash the phone and then post results.
Thanks.

Problem Sorted, thanks to all those who helped me, mainly AndreS for helping me bring the phone back to life. I still had to unlock it after reviving it, but I used Vygis Crack and flashed it then did the factory reset, then unlocked via the usual code 00000000.
