I flashed to Milky's ROM on i9000m using odin, and it boot looped, so I flashed with Milky's but no modem. And then flashed a modem. it booted but I had no service. I then tried 10 or so stock firmwares, and none did the trick. I finally fix my product code to get Kies to update, and kies updated to the newest gingerbread. But even after that, I still have no service. Does anyone know whats going on? Is the phone ruined?
ANY help would be greatly appreciated, I spent over 48 hours on this already, and I can't do it myself anymore.
Ok, I had this issue with mine, now I semi bricked my i9000 flashing modems to try and fix this issue, but i had to take it to a shop, i saw this on his screen on a Simpley Honey Rom on XDA.
HOW TO CHANGE THE CSC WITH YOUR COUNTRY CODE:
- Into the DIALER write *#272*XXXXXXXXXXXX# where X series is your IMEI (show the IMEI with *#06#)
- Select your country CODE
- Click on INSTALL
- Wait until it reboots and it do a wipe (automatically)
- Do the first boot
- Enjoy!
But find out ure country code first. And do not try this if ure unsure, remember Im saying I saw a guy that owns a Phone repair shop do it with my phone.

Thanks for the reply, I actually did that before, and retried it again, and it's still not working. I'm clueless as to what's going on.

It's not even seeing the sim card though. When I click on Mobile Networks it says Insert "Insert SIM card to access network services".

Yeah, I tried like 4 or 5 different ones. AT&T, T-Mobile, Telus, some with active service and some not.
I would take it to service centre maybe, worth asking them,

I think my phone had sim lock before i bought it, because it had 2.1 on it.
So i want to unlock the bootloader. In many threads about that i read:
Unlocking the bootloader of your phone will restore the original sim lock of your phone (if you had any) unless if you unlocked with EMMA/IMEI unlock code or it was factory-unlocked or if SE unlocked it!.
However, some users have reported that using msm7227_semc.cmd on their sim-unlocked phones did not restore the sim lock onto their phone. This has not been confirmed as of yet. Unlock the bootloader on your sim unlocked phone AT YOUR OWN RISK!

so is that confirmed now and how safe is it to unlock it. which tool can i use?

Ahem, hi, just wanted to point out that the quoted text you provided us with says it's unconfirmed. It will probably be safe but its unconfirmed if the sim-lock is restored

If your phone came factory unlocked (no SIM lock by default) then s1tool should tell you "no SEMC simlock certificate found"...
Align that information with the unlock thread in the dev section and you should have your answer (that you can unlock).

really? great so i can safely unlock the bl.?
is flashtool good for that.
with factory unlocked i meant that it had no simlock when i bought it. maybey it had one before because it had 2.1 not the original 1.6 on it and the sellin package was sealed with a sticker of an german provider. so i think it was unlocked and sold as a kind of remaining stock

See this thread and carefully read through the steps dealing with "if you had SEMC simlock certificate".
EDIT: If you are having problems with the lousy English of that guide contact me by PM - I can talk German as well.
Does someone know what SEMC simlock certificate means?
Has some experiences with unlocking such a phone which had sim lock befor?

Mate, Its to dengerous to Unlocking the bootloader on outdate 11W29+,
Once Hardbrick, you cannot revive ur phone by ur Self, u need to send it in for Repair, and most likely they will change ur motherboard.
But, Maybe Have Someone succesed unlock bootloader on outdate X8?
If yes, yeah ! I want it to, for my 2nd X8

hey dude, well my w8 was on W1129+ but i took the risk and ended up hard-bricking my phone ands as a result had to take it back for repairs... they changed the motherboard (as you said) but didnt change the stickers...
is there anyway i can identify the "week" of my current motherboard?
But with the w8 its waaaay much more risk for a hard brick But the x8 is a little bit more safe ..

Hey Dude,
I think service center replaced the mobo with a pre 11W29 one,
Most likely that the replacement is even newer [11W5x -> 12W0x] than your original motherboard was. There is no way to find out "week" of you mobo except
of the sticker, or maybe you can ask them what the "week" mobo they replaced for you,
Peace,
I unlocked My bootloader and mine is 11w35

Yeah, I kinda thought about it. But still, did you buy the device from a carrier? If so, chances are that your device is locked. If you bought it from a retailer or a Sony Store, it is most likely that you have an unlockable device.
The error is kinda weird though, never heard of it before.

I bought my device from retailer, but I would like to be sure before doing anything like unlocking my device and as well there will be problem with finding out my IMEI because *#06# is giving me the same error.

Official Sony support says this about this error:
This issue is usually related to the SIM card in the handset rather than the phone itself. I'd recommend requesting a new SIM from your service provider.

No need to do it right now, because the service menu and IMEI works even with SIM inserted as of now.
