hi today i flashed FXP new kernel and for some reason i cannot recieve any incoming calls :S i can text out and get texts and i can call out this is wierd i have checked the kernel and it should allow me to recieve calls but its not nothing to do with kernel as its fine. i cant flash with SEUS or pc companion or flash tool i have flashed over 10 diff back ups and nothing
okay so i finally got flash tool to flash stock rom. But after flashing it just refuses to turn on not even charging it works nor if i take battry out and plug it back in whilst holding the power button. and it will not go into flash mode. from my side of things it has bricked no way back for it now unless blagus or fxp can enlighten me on a way to recover
It seems you have the first bricked phone due to bootloader problems..
If so, as of now only SE can help you..
Try taking the battery out for at least 15 secs.
Good luck.

Questioner and Rikcon, did you guys at least read his post?
The phone doesn't even turn on, how can he flash anything?
Paul1989, can you charge the battery in another phone? It seems it's discharged and the phone is not charging it.
Buy another x8, use it's battery and when u r done return it

okay so i finally got the phone to turn back on after about 3hurs of trying to flash anything i could ,baseband,kernels stock rom, nothing worked for hours untill i gave it 1 last try and it turned on but !! it does not get pastr sony logo. i have flashed new basebands kernels roms the lot and NOTHING i do can gt it past this f**king logo :'( i will update with progress later but it seems because i unlocked my boot loader and then straight after i unlockerd with the omnius tool that something has gone seriously wrong
OKAY people my friend got my phone back on but it cost me just under £30 lol but im glad
The fact that the phone is on is a good sign have you tried restoring the bootloader to its locked state it may fix your problem just have to make sure you've got the original kernel just have to go into s1tool and press restore

Hi
I tried to upgrade my phone, I9000s, from 2.3 to 2.4 this afternoon via Odin and it has gone wrong and I think I have bricked the phone.
I cannot get into download mode now, I could before after bricking, but not now, and all I get is the phone and computer symbols.
Can anybody advise me what I do next.
I am in the UK
Thanks
2.4 rom for i9000? I think that you' ve done something terribly wrong...

If you tried to go from 2.3.3 to 2.3.4 and you got screwed bootloaders, you might need to take your phone to service. But try reading this guide first: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1134975. Hope you get your phone up&running again

u mean from 2.3.3 to 2.3.4. so the mistake is
when u turmed ur phone to download mode and connect to pc . Odin didnt regonized ur phone and u press start ? as many ppl want flash fast .
so try this
1st : Move ur battery out . plug ur phone to recharge w/o battery if ur screen turn on . then press vol down+home+power . if not do the same with battery .
if those doesnt work check the :
2nd : remove battery . open Kies to ur PC plug ur phone with USB cable to connect with ur pc , w8 some mins to regonize ur phone if ur screen trying to get on plug the battery to ur phone to recharge via pc then try to get download mode . if nothing of those doesnt work for u then u must
3rd Buy USB JIG from ebay or get ur phone to service (if u had rooted phone u will pay)
It happened to me before...
The only solution was buying a jig on ebay to unbrick the phone.
Before that i sent my phone to repairs and it was solved.
Good luck

The little compute symbol with the arrows is a version of download mode. It is the emergency flash mode and odin should still recognize it and u should be able to flash a full firmware that had bootloaders
Sent from my GT-I9000 using Tapatalk
its really rare to screwed ur main bootloader on the SGS.. maybe you could buy the jig but i`ve never tried the jig but maybe you could try to take out your battery and wait a couple of minutes.. maybe half hour to be safe, before you try to switch on your phone.. but after you place back the battery make sure you doesnt touch any button except the 3 button combo for download mode.. i`m not sure why but that has been the case for me when i got screwed during flashing new rom when i push other button such as the home button before the 3 button combo the phone just didnt respond..

Hi
Thanks for all the replies, sorry I have not been back on.
Not sure how I managed it, but I got back to the point of the yellow download symbol again and flashed the stock 2.3 Gingerbread I had on file.
All is now working again but it is showing as 2.3.4.
Something has obviously got mixed up though, as I am in the UK and now have Swisscom on start up and close down.
It all appears to be working ok and after a while I managed to root it again.
I suppose I should really looking in to flashing it again so I don't have the Swisscom coming up, but I will leave it as it is until I feel a little more brave after my near miss.
Thanks again.

Hi
Could somebody point me to the correct version of 2.3.4 for the UK for me to flash.
I have had another look at Samfirmwares but I am still unsure of the correct version for the UK.
Also, on checking my phone, it is marked as CSC unkown, it that something I need to worry about.

HELP HELP HELP -- I recently plugged my phone into my com to transfer music. samsung kies then started up and told me i needed a firmware upgrade. I proceeded to upgrade and mid upgrade i received an on screen message that my device wasn't recognised and the upgrade was auto cancelled. I now have a message with bright yellow/green trianle that says "do not turn off target". I have reinstalled kies - no luck. knocked phone on and off -no luck. i'm at a loss with what to do with the phone now !! phone not even being recognised by com or kies. Can anyone help please??? many many thanks in advance... thanks. ian.
Seems that you're new to that, so let me explain: if you see the yellow triangle with the android, you're in download mode. Normally, you access it by pressing power+home+vol down buttons while screen is off. As long as you can access download mode, your device isn't bricked. Now that you can't access anything else than download mode, you have to flash a new firmware with Odin. I recommend you to search for the JW4 firmware here in general section. There you should find help on how to flash it(best is Faryaab's thread).
maybe you can try and do a hard reset and flash a ROM from yr SD card..reboot in recoverymode..if the phone does not reboot..try and run the rooting program,might work.But most likely you'll have to reinstall the firmware...

Yep, I don't think that he has rooted, so flashing a ROM won't work.
hmmm....i get it..best thing to do i think,when it's up and running again..DoOMlords easy rooting kit worked fine for me.No problem getting it to work and you've got more options to fix any problem..good luck to the poster anyway xx

I don't really think that he rooted his phone ever before, so I don't think that he needs root now... but if he wants to try it out, CF-root or DoOMlords rooting kit are the right choises.
EDIT: SOLVED THANKS TO damir87
Ok guys, after a lot of research and messing up I ended up needing to ask for help.
I started trying to install cyanogen mod 9 (Android 4.0.3) where everything was going fine, but when I flashed the kernel with the "Custom Gingerbread kernel nAa-11" and installed the cyanogen 9 ROM with xRecovery, but when I started the phone (And it's still like this ATM) after the Sony Ericson logo, it appears the XPERIA logo with the lighting animation, it does the animation about 3 - 4 times and freezes after that and stays there, sometimes it does the animation 3 times, disappears and appears the logo again and then freezes.
I realized this happened because I didn't unlock bootloader. I can actually check the bootloader and I get the message that says it's locked but you can unlock it but to unlock it I have to have it turned on with USB debugging on.
Also, sometimes when I try to flash it again, after connecting it and the green light turning on it says I have plugged the device in flash mode, then it says I unplugged it and tells me that an error occurred, then the phone boots up by it-self.
BTW I'm a bit newbie in the section of "flashing" and the kernel and the baseband stuff, I'm not sure if with flashing, you flash the kernel, the baseband, or the ROM it-self, or even if you can install a ROM with the flashtool with the phone on flashmode.
BTW I can't access xRecovery.
- SEUS Says my phone is already up to date and all I can do is click finish.
- PCC Says there's not software available for my phone.
WHAT WOULD BE PERFECT TO FIX THIS:
A way to change the ROM to the android 2.1.1.C.0.0 without booting the phone(in flash mode).
HOW I SOLVED IT
-I simply downloaded this stock ROM (2.1.1.C.0.0): http://www.mediafire.com/?eca0sualnao4c4c
-Then just used flashtool V0.2.9.1 (I think it's important that you use that exact version): https://rapidshare.com/#!download|5...|62602|R~5490459C5764641D4665C046409A620A|0|0
(Sorry for rapid**** host, couldn't get any better)
After that it took the phone about 5~ mins to start up after the 2nd SE logo.
Again thanks to damir87!
I was newbie too , but reading threads helped , use SEUS Sony PC Companion to restore to stock.

Thanks for the reply, but Sony PC Companion needs the phone to be ON and on debug mode, actually I can't fully boot the phone and SEUS gets stuck on "checking connection to the phone" or something like that.
Also PCC says there's no available updates for the phone. <.<
Turn off phone , then do what seus asks

With this you say it'll do everything?
Even the rooting while on flashmode? and instal xRecovery?
Remember I can't access the phone.

This file is stock 2.1 for x8 so when you flash this your phone will not be rooted and will not have recovery installed, thats you gonna do after flashing stock rom! btw B.Jay is write nice and detailed tutorial so you can follow these steps to make your phone work!

Oh, ok great, and when flashing this it will install the default ROM and remove the android 4.0.3 ROM right?

I updated the phone with that prompt.... After the whole update process screen displayed that phone update is complete and reboot the phone which i did Since then phone is dead, displaying nothing :crying:
I tried every solution on google but phone is not going into any mode "downloading" or "recovery" however for the first time when it all happened i tried to connect it to laptop and punched the combination of keys into phone the laptop for a while recognized and installed the drivers for the same but it didnt come up as a drive or anything, Now it is not even recognizing the phone connected. :crying:
