hii everyone. . i just recovered my phone from softbrick and before my phone got bricked i had unlocked bootloader . . and now after rooting again should i UNLOCK the bootloader again. . plzz help. . ?????
thanks in advance
Run s1tool and check if You have S1_EROM VER "r8A029" or S1_EROM VER "R8A029". But as far as I know bootloader will be unlocked even if You back to stock ROM.
Once you unlocked BL. BL stay unlock untill you relock itself.
Just like my phone.
Like what happened? U used custom kernel and gb rom and u recovered to stock.. Why?
If u softbrick while on gb rom and custom kernel u should just reflash rom and ii will work again...

Pardon me,
just curious...can u tell
what make u on stock kernel while u can have custom?
is there something stock have and custom doesn't?
If you unlocked the bootloader , forget about it , you dont need to relock again whatever you will flash on phone.

Hello!
I have tried to install MiniCM on my SE x8 (E15i)
My phone is rooted, xrecovery is installed, busybox installed, Bootloader unlocked
I run this from xrecovery -> 1 : msm7227
2 : MiniCM7-2.1.6-X8
3 : gapps-gb-20110613-signed
BUT when I try to flash the kernel ( E15_nAa-07_2.6.29.6-nAa-07.ftf )
It says flashing kernel and then flashing aborded
I havent done this before! Please tell me where iam going wrong, Because I dont know how to do it step by step!
I had come to xda because my x10 was slow after update
and it became better than before thanks to xda team and members! So it gave me the courage to try this on my x8 which I was not using because of Android os 2.1..
Help will be appreciated .. I know xda wont let me down

I don't you can unlock your bootloader by running msm7227 from xRecovery! Have you checked whether you are successful after executing msm7227 from PC? use flahstool-1 to check!
Lately,i see many of noobs install a rom in dev sec b4 read what its requirement & end up with bricking.
My suggest, a filter in download link which is direct to some form to tick correctly a requirement for specific roms.(similar with membership form).This form can be determined by dev of the roms & real download link will be open if they tick a right answer.for exp;
Phone model-x8/w8 tick/untick
Root tick/untick
Recovery System
Xrecovery tick/untick
CWM tick/untick
Baseband
xx06 tick/untick
xx15 tick/untick
Unlocked bootloader
Yes tick/untick
No tick/untick
Kernel
Stock tick/untick
Costum(can edit by dev)tick/untick
I know this will be annoying for some of us but prevent is better than cure
Hope colossus will see this & consider it.

Not a bad idea
But it will be very difficult to implement it. Practically impossible as I see it.
This can be done on google docs, create a form there... easy to implement...

Looks like Just SoftBrick dude [hardbrick means when your phone cannot be powered on]
You Relock Bootloader? Unlock it again
Flash ICS nAa Kernel, Flash MiniCM9 as simple is that
Or Using Pcc/SEUS, Flash All again to Stock Rom/Kernel.
Then, Using s1tool, check wheter you phone Already Unlock bootloader or Not.
If Not, Unlock Bootloader First,
If Yes, Flash kernel, Then Rom
Dont Forget to FULL WIPE
Just My opinion

Read these carefully...

Few tips
Look for manufacturing date behind the phone after removing the battery.
It would be like 11wxx or 12wxx
Or look at the link in these thread..
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1755215
Try unlocking only if its below 11w29 not even at 11w29..

You can not unlock you bootloader cos you will brick your x8.
This means you can not flash custom kernel. You can only Install rom on stock kernel, but PrimeHD is on Alfs and nAa.

Yes, but...what's the problem? You can't unlock the bootloader? Or Flashtool throws error?

What kind of cm7 do you use?
Did you unlock your bootloader?
Did you install the latest Flashtool?
Do you have the latest nAa ics kernel in /flashtool/firmwares?
If you didn't unlock your bootloader, then you have to check the manufacturing date. If it's 11w29>, you can unlock the bootloader. Once you unlocked using Flashtool you have to download latest nAa ics kernel and move the .ftf into /flashtool/firmwares. Then you have to download the latest MiniCM or ISDX or ParanoidAndroid zip with latest gapps-ics. Copy the 2 zips to the root of your SD and flash latest nAa kernel with Flashtool. Then go to recovery, full wipe, flash the ROM that you downloaded and latest gapps-ics. Reboot. Done!
