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.

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

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

The PC companion says there's no software for my phone and,
the SEUS says my phone is already up to date.
When i used seus i had right down a button option to reflash.

flash this with flashtool and all over again.. rooting, recovery, baseband.. THEN you can install custom rom mate, and if you wanna flash custom kernel read some stuff before! its not so complicated if you know what you doing!

Even I HATE rapidshare, hotfile, depositfile, share and uploading, I'll trust you and hope it works .
With this you say it'll do everything?
Even the rooting while on flashmode? and instal xRecovery?
Remember I can't access the phone.
BRB In 3 hours with the ****ty 30kb/s, gonna practice shuffle.
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?
EDIT: I already did that tutorial, when I tried to flash the phone with the 2.1.1.C.0.0, it gave me an error saying it can't prepare the files for the flashing, any idea?

When using PCC , don't click on "Update Phone". Your phone won't be recognized.
Click on "Repair Phone" , and follow instructions.
If every thing fails which is doubtfull send it to sony
Problem solved!

Thank u very much guys!!!!
Welcome ! You got your phone alive?
Hi.
I have an S Advance. Installed the russian firmware, and I had some lag... Then I saw a new chinise fw on sammobile so I decided to try it out. The installation went fine odin says 'pass' then 'restart'. My phone turned off but did not started. Tried to turn on manually but nothing. No boot no download mode or recovery, nothing. Its like someone had removed the battery. I borrowed an USB JIG (tried it on other device and working) but it did not work on my phone. Normally I would have warranty BUT my binary counter is on 3 for obvious reasons. Now Im without phone hoping that I can still do something. So far spent hours searching the web and also here without any luck. Is there any way I can still fix this or Im screwed? And I mean literally cuz I dont have any money to send it back for repair. If it helps:
XXLQ4 - I had this with stock kernel
ZCLPB - This fw killed the phone (also stock kernel)
Any Idea?
When the Chinese firmware released, a few users reported that they Hard Bricked their phone by flashing it... So I went on with flashing the Indian firmware instead.... You should have tried with any other firmware mate but now I think your phone is "gone"....
Take it to Service center and if you are sure that you can't boot to Download or Recovery mode then tell them your problem.... They just might give you a new phone or try to fix yours..
I tried to flash the Brazilian JB rom (I9070VJLPA) and surprise: my handset was hard bricked as well.
Right now, my GT-I9070 are at Samsung Service Center (because I hadn't the guts to make an USB JIG myself).
I'm hoping that the guarantee is accepted. Although the counter is still zero (checked in triangleaway) and I flashed only stock firmware. But the old rom was Russian JB and they can find out and charge to unbrick the phone. Or worse, they can charge one new motherboard.

Well, I just said "it doesn't turn on". The attendant only tested a bit (tried to turn on the handset) and gave me the warranty service order and spoke to me that it will be ready at day 17.

You mean it'll get repaired in warranty and after 17 days your handset would be back.
He means it'll be ready in the 17th, I guess.

---------- Post added at 02:32 PM ---------- Previous post was at 02:27 PM ----------
thats why you should check other's feedback onto the fw before flasing it -.- research more about the fw then if you saw a good LEGIT feedback then proceed to flash it. typical newbie behavior like me when i was still a newbie to XDA xD
