Samsung wave s8500 bricked (Solved)

Hi everyone, long story short. I tried to update the leaked version of Bada 2.0.1 firmware S8500XPKG5 and broke my phone shortly half way into the process. So the case for me is a phone with one line of white on a pure black screen. Just that. So if I remove the battery or force shut down, the next moment when I on the phone, its pure pinky red screen of death. Scared the hell out of me for 2 days till I solved the whole broken down process.

Trouble shoot = Nutshell, I flashed on the wrong Multi loader. I did it on the v5.62 (WRONG!!!)
Warning : Make sure your phone is not carrier lock, sim lock or password lock of any kind.

So you are here with a bricked phone, this is the step that I took to recover my broken bricked wave S8500.
These are the full step by step to flash a firmware, follow only the red highlighted if your phone has broke like mine.

1) Make sure that the standard theme is installed
2) Download s8500xpkg5.rar and unpack the files
3) Install the included usb-driver before connecting your phone
4) Connect with Kies and restore the drivers
5) Close Kies
6) Start Multiloader
7) Drag and drop the files into Multiloader (All 8 files from "bootloader" to "ShpApp.app")
8) Select LSI, Full Download and Master ROM
9) Remove SD-Card, SIM-Card and battery, put the battery back in.
10) Click "port search" and after it finds a port "Download" (if it doesn't find a port, try a different usb port)
11) Wait until it is done! Takes about 10 minutes. (DO NOT POWER OFF)

12) Kies -> restore drivers
13) You can only sync contacts.

14) *#5239870*# --> PreConfig --> *#27236*# -->confirm --> XEU (UK setting)
15) *#33284*# --> Low (to avoid bluescreens)



Here is a video I made to show you my process, leave a comments if this helps you :)
