Hello all
I have a X8 .. was rooted and had installed the xrecovery a while back but until my phone froze and had to install the stock one from the pc suite. Well .. done that succesfuly ..phone worked like 10 minutes and then it went crazy again . Now it`s rebooting on and on .. Dunno what baseband i`m on curently now .. recovery doesen`t work anymore .. :| All I now is that i`m on android 2.1 update 1 ( I think ) and i have a logcat that goes like this http://pastebin.com/index/LDgYKHkM ( sorry .. didn`t knew how to make pastebin apear here :> )
I`d appreciate if anyone could please read the logcat .. and give me a solution.
Thx alot
Anyone? Please?
Sorry i cant help, i asked a friend to look but all he said was to repair with pc companion or use flashtool to flash new baseband. There is a thread in x8 development on basebands. Sorry i cant be more help, i only posted to assure u your not been ignored. Il keep asking and searching until i find an answer. Good luck and if you find a fix would you post here in the hope that othes that might have the same problem stumble upon it.

Thx ... really apreciate that u replied I`ve flashed the last few days some Roms .. and nothing seems to work :| The best i`ve got from an official Rom was about 7 hrs .. and then it went crazy again ) Now flashing the 1.6 :| I`m starting to think this is not a software related problem .
Its very strange, it may be the kernel thats at fault, my wife updated to 2.1 through pc companion but somehow kept the old kernel and her phone went crazy. Random reboots, wifi drop out and couldn't install large apps like angry birds. It may have been that she kept old baseband but upgraded the kernel, i forget now. But the problem was solved when they were both updated. Did you root each time you fixed it? Or does it still mess up without root?

1.6 seems to work properly .. so I don`t think it`s a hardware related problem ... now i`m really pissed!
Check the baseband so. It's sounds like your on old baseband. Flashtool should sort it and allow 2.1 update. There's a thread here somewhere, I'm on mobile app so can't post link. I'm having a few probs myself, just upgraded to new froyobread 2.3 and everything force close. Don't you just love technology.

What 'Knzo MOD"? If you have Nova8 then you have the latest kernel. unless you flashed the newly posted, which is for CM7 gingerbread then you have a problem.
im going to test this method this night since im still in school
ive tried to use lg's program to flash stock rom,but i cant get in to s/w download mod with volume+ key
ive tried to flash official rom before and i could get into download,but i cant get into it this,it is disapointing
anyway thx very much for your GREAT HELP

Try reflsshing the ROM with its default kernel. If you're set on flashing the stock ROM and its still not detecting, make sure you're mounted properly in you're flashing tool.

Of course it's a big problem. the kernel is the heart of operating system. In Android, not every build of kernel are compatible. So before do anything with your phone, especially playing with kernel/ROM, please... please.. READ THE GUIDE or INFORMATION about it...

Of course it still can fixed.. you must have been landing on http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1275315 do you? Guided there...
Before do that,
First, can you access ClockWorkMod via press+hold Power Button, and press continually Volume-Up, till you got into CWM menu?
If you can do it, then wipe date/cache. (to anticipate zero free space of internal memory)
Second, unbrick your phone.
sorry !!!
im really mad in this moment
my mum said she will give my OB back till i am not crazy anymore........

Hey guys i'm just a sucker for customization was happy with ADW EX, then yeah i came across this thing called CM7 which supports amazing themes.
So i upgraded to 2.3 n rooted it. . .but i hardly had a clue about installing custom roms. i kept researching on the net n then one day decided to finally go for it.
The first step i s obviously installing the CWM Recovery n that's where i commited the BLUNDER!!
I flashed CWM from ROM MANAGER and then my phone was bricked like totally dead, i tried all the online solutions but nothin worked but luckily my warranty was still intact n the samsung guys rescued me.
after spendin considerable amount of time on the internet there are
3ways A GALAXY MINI can get BRICKED
1. FLASHING CWM Recovery From ROM MANAGER
2. Downgrade 2.2 from 2.3 using a 2.3 OPS
3. BY Flashing stock Rom on top of a Custom Rom
i've also found out that CWM has bricked quite a few HTC devices while PARTIONING SD CARD.
SO BE CAREFULL GUYS, any experiment u wanna try on, search for GALAXY MINI only.
Hope i was some help! If u know any other way then please post n make this thread as usefull as possible for first timers like me

If u flash CWM from Odin n use ROM MANAGER its not gonna harm mini, but yeah DON'T EVA try flashin CWM from ROM Manager. HARD Brick is surety guys trust me.

Not completely true... Have read reports of people that used ROM manager only to enter CWM. And still, they bricked their phones. It's just a weird piece of software... I decided to stop using it... It ain't that hard to enter recovery mode manually...

The other two however i'm not so sure, neva tried it nor i wanna try it.
btw downgradin with wrong ops or flashin stock rom DOESN'T cause HARD BRICK, but it bricks nevertheless, just google "GALAXY MINI BRICK"

At first: watch your freaking language... Cursing is for in the church.
Second: If you've been so stupid to install the CWM recovery that was created for another device, than you've got what you've deserved. There are so many guides on how to flash recovery on your SGM... So it's kind of your own fault...

Hello sony ericsson X8/W8 users! I not newbie here on xda, but is new on your X8 thread. I have a new SE W8 which was given to me by my mom.. Now i was looking for a w8 thread here on xda but only led me to X8. i know X8 and W8 are close to being perfectly the same though there are a few things inside the phone also a better sound system on W8 which i researched the day i got it.
Now for my question: can you flash X8 stock roms, croms, fix, mods etc? Or they have their own Just like my first phone sgs i9003. It may look exactly like the i9000 but they have diff. stuff inside them which would brick the phone if you tried flashing i9000 roms on i9003 (happened to me on the first week i got the phone ...)
if you're kind enough, please help me with links for roms/mods specifed for w8
I am pretty confused with the x8 and w8 stuff... they should make a separate thread.... Sorry for those who might get annoyed with this post or sumthing. and thanks in advance for those who could help me with this
U can flash all the croms of x8 to w8.... with no hesitation...m using w8 only n i hve flshed gdx v24 n it works smoothly....

Here are 2 types of bricks :
1.Soft Brick - Reparable , SEUS , Flashtool
2.Hard Brick - Nonreparable , phone dead .
If you want to flash a custom kernel u need first to unlock bootloader , very dangerous , it leads to hard brick.
The custom kernels have recovery buildin so from there u can flash ROMs.
About Root , use Superoneclick , use search button
Best Combos are , MiniCM7 +nAa Kernel and GingerDX + Alfs.

Thanks for the link man. Wow rooting and customizing here takes a little more time on w8/x8... With bootloaders to be unlocked.... On the galaxy s all you need is to flash a kernel using odin. The kernel automatically unlocks the bootloader and of course rooting the phone. also installs cwm superuser and other root stuff... Although rooting here on w8 is easier by using superoneclick right?
About the bricking thing, its ok ive experienced bricking before with i9003. Hard bricked twice, but got lucky that the customer service never suspected it was rooted. Soft bricked before when odin was not responding...
Thanks for your knowlege damir, now i am well prepared with your link so when my laptop arrives i can start instanly! +1 for you on your thanks meter!
Since im in a good mood im giving +1 for those who helped me lol.

Hi,
I am using W8 and i have unlocked my bootloader and currently running with custom kernel and custom ROM (ICS). Before you unlock your bootloader u please chk the number on the Phone just below the battery something like 11W27 ( this is mine) if it above 29 its not advisable to unlock the bootloader, your phone might be bricked. However you can use GingerDX on Stock kernel.. hope this helps

Yes. You are right. Ive done some searching about this and learned that sony noticed that there were lots of hard brickings occurring in this phone unit. So sony had some part of the phone that starts with "Q" (i forgot the name) that holds the security stuff to make this "security hole" (or the "security ****") where bricks the phone whenever someone tries to unlock the bootloader... Thats what i understood... It can still be unlocked though you'll need someone good in hacking, and modding that could bypass the security hole thing and stuff a in the end unlocking the bootloaders.. It'll be tough work...
