So i received a x10a as a xmas present. After doing much research i decided to debrand this phone by following the direction from this video:
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=wacg-dsx9ew
I downloaded the GENERIC 2.1 x10a firmware from this thread
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=825201
after i was done flashing, i noticed that my camera wasn't working anymore...it would boot into a black screen and after a while i received a forced close message. Then if i try to access the camera with the camera button, it shows a message "camera not available" so i tried to flash it with multiple different versions of generic 2.1 firmware with no luck.
After reading many post about the camera not working i believe it's a defective camera,this is when i decided to flash it back to the original at&t firmware (so i can take it back to the store and get a new phone with a working camera) using the files provided from this link:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=872298
now when i boot up my phone i all i see is a ! inside a triangle and the phone icon...what should i do???
thanks for all the help in advance
edit: finally was able to flash it back to AT&T with a rather strange procedure. I used the non-gui flasher to first flash in the 1.6 AT&T firmware but with no luck booting up. Then I flashed in the generic 1.6 firmware, surprisingly, when it booted up i saw the AT&T logo and all the AT&T app was in there. camera still didn't work, so i just took it back to the store and got a new unit. I flashed it again with GUI flasher, and now im running on nordic 2.2 generic firmware with all the features.
PS. does it matter if I am using a x10i firmware on a x10a phone? i did some research and only got mixed response, some say it doesnt make a difference some say 3G is affected. which one is correct????
I could be wrong but it sounds like you've bricked your phone. I haven't heard of issues (going through the forum) of people having camera issues using bin4ry's rom. Its most likely from debrnding it and then the multipile flash attempts.
You're going to need some time and patience to fix it. Have you tried the repair function on the SE PC Companion software yet?

yes i just used the repair function, now im back on x10a 2.1 firmware, but still no camera...everything else works
Flash back to AT&T and return the phone as it's obviously defective, pain in the ass, but only option by the sound of it.

Not sure, has your phone changed to an "i"? Do a full flash with seus, then use THIS to get back to AT&T

What's a known, working procedure for flashing a different firmware on my X10a? Currently it's got an AT&T R2CA016 firmware on it and I want to debrand the phone.
I've went through numerous guides, using the PC Companion and Update Service to replace files, problem is, the software tells me my phone is up to date, additionally there's no "Re-install" button on this software, so using the SE software seems useless.
I also looked at XS++ which couldn't connect to my phone. If anyone has an AT&T phone and has debranded it in the last month, please let me know which procedure you used.
FYI, I've backed up my APN using APN Backup & Restore.
Thanks.

Thanks, I'll give it a try later this afternoon. I just reading up on the Omnius method? It seems to rely on decrypted ROMs, which contain "phone.zip" and "android_xxx.zip". Any particular page to start reading the relevant information on? There's a 103 pages in that thread!

Not to familiar with that method i dont think, i didnt read much into though (as i was getting ready for the 2.1 update)
the one i used was easy enough to use, basically click the exe which brings up a command prompt file, connect your phone in flash mode, hit any key and let it do its thing, worked perfectly first time after trying the switch the files method about 12 times

I don't see any firmware links on that page, it's actually on the next page, page 43. A generic X10a R2BA026 firmware is listed there. I might give that a go, either way, SEUS of PC Companion is out in regards to flashing my phone, they won't work.
I was able to debrand the phone by flashing with a generic X10a R2BA026 using EXploid one click guide, however it is still locked to ATT. Anyone knows how to unlock the phone? Thanks.

What guide did you use to debrand your phone? Can you give me a specific link?
I'm not bothered if it's locked to AT&T, I just want the AT&T garbage removed from it, I thought rooting would do that, but rooting just gives me super-user access to muck up the phone by deleting crucial system files!
UPDATE: I used the Grospolina method, here. So far so good, at least my phone boots! This method worked fine.

If you're trying to use it on a different GSM network, You can Always go to one of the unlocking companies on the net...They use your IMEI number to unlock the phone.
OTHERWISE, If you're with AT&T, You CAN call customer care, Tell them you're traveling over-seas with your cell phone and you need it to be unlocked to use one of the UK's GSM Sim cards...
That's how I would do it personally

You SHOULD be good to go! Once you Root it with the generic firmware...If not, I'm CONFIDENT you can find someone to help ya on here with reflashing it to AT&T's Stock Firmware. I went through the entire root, rebranded mine (since I was talking about taking it back to AT&T for the Captivate) And have re-rooted it again without a hitch
I followed this guide, as posted by Grospolina, and it worked perfectly, flashing it to a R2BA026 ROM. The root option also worked, and I installed the Market fix. In general, this IS how I want my phone, no AT&T garbage-ware installed. I'm content with this.
I tried other flashing guides, involving SEUS and PC Companion, all of them were a waste of time, due to a) The software kept telling me my phone was "up to date", and b) There was no "re-install" button to re-install the ROM on the phone. I WAS going to try Omnius which I suspect is a "pay-for" option, but this Grospolina guide worked 1st time. Many thanks to you Grospolina!
Now I can be busy re-installing some apps I wanted, and possibly restoring my APN file, I'm unsure if I need to at this point.

I called AT&T and they said that under some policies between AT&T and Manufacturer, they can't release the code. They asked to have the original owner of the phone to call in since I don't have the account with AT&T. I got this phone off Ebay, so I can't have the original owner to call in. I wonder if there is any other way to unlock it, because it is dead to me now since I can't use it under any other network....
First of all yes I have searched a lot on google and on xda. but I was unable to find anything to suite my case.
I recently rooted stock 2.2.2 and went for a custom RoM...gingerbread OpenOptimus RoM.
I now want to go stock but I am unable to do so because the LG PC suite either sais I already have the newest version, either that the update is unavailable for my phone ( this happens when trying to upgrade it after I flashed a froyo RoM)
Is there any safe and easy way of unrooting and going stock using the lG ps suite? I recall it working even though my lg was rooted on froyo 2.2.2 and I was able to update it to stock gingerbread using the pc suite.
Thank you in advance.

Its pretty easy:

I followed that procedure and for now I am stuck in Emergency Mode for a couple of minutes. Until now everything worked as it should....but I wonder why my screen didn't go blank.
Anyway...I find it stupid that the recovery option from LG PC suite does not in fact have anything to do with recovering your phone to its original state. Rather missleading nevertheless...
Later Edit: In the end I reached to the desired result. The procedure from the above link worked to the point in wich the phone had to turn off and needed to be restarted. In my case it didn't shut down, but luckly the firmware was downgraded and I am using the LG Updater to go to official gingerbread right now.
Thanks to everyone that helped...
Sorry for 2x post.
Well....as it seems....the update almost completed but for some reason it stopped, so I followed the instructions and disconnected the cable> pulled out the battery> put it back> power on the phone.
The problem is now that the phone won't power up at all, not even to LG Logo or something. It's like it's fully discharged but it is not the case, because it had 100% battery.
And even if it was fully discharged, when plugged in the phone should turn on and stay at ,,battery charging" screen.
Any suggestions?

You will have to get your PCB replaced from the service centre as the phone is probably a brick by now. I got mine replaced twice under warranty, so I guess it shouldn't be a problem.
The KDZ method is a hit-or-miss thing - I succeeded restoring the stock ROM twice, but failed twice as well, so I won't ever be using that method again.
For posterity, the closest to a stock rom backup you can get is by taking a manual backup of your recovery and a NAND backup of your ROM (after flashing custom recovery) soon after getting a new PCB.

That is correct I bricked my gf's phone... Oh well, at least she didn't get mad. She wanted the phone replaced anyway.
I will go with her and get another device, as this one had random reboots no matter if it was rooted/unrooted and regardless of custom or stock roms.
ps: It didn't even start in Emergency Mode...and It was because of the LG updater which actually ****ed it up.
After the KDz Tool the phone was still running fine.
Oh well, thanks to everyone for their support. I am so glad I don't personally own an LG...everything regarding it is just wrong... from the way of rooting/adding custom recoveries, the LG pc suite, to the endless possibilities of bricking it.
My Wildfire's only change of getting ,,bricked" is by dropping a brick on it

Hi everyone,
My micro usb on my x10 broke a couple months ago right before the update so now im stuck on 2.2.1 and i cant plug it into my computer to let PCCompanion update it. So i was just wondering if there was any other way to update.
thanks
You can always update via xrecovery if you have that. Just download the official update from your carrier on the net, rename it update.zip, place in SD Card, boot phone in xrecovery and select update via update.zip thing.
Other than that its OTA (over the air) update for official carriers of your's provides that.
Assuming you are talking about official updates.

Also, you wont be able to flash any of the unlocked bootloader kernels without flashtool...
And if i am not mistaken, to get baseband 71 (That 2.3 roms use) you need flashtool, not recovery, so you may have to find a way round that...

Just wanted to see if there was any way to update without flashing which requires usb. I went to a local repair shop and the guy said most likely the circuit board may be damaged so it may not jus be simple. He has seen a bunch of x10s and they were all the same problem and he couldnt fix it. So for now ive jus been using an external battery charger and 2nd battery to be able to use my phone.

Lol no i would never switch to that. just sayin thats what they had on their list which is a rip off. their handset replacement thing is crap. thinking about gettin the nozomi if it ever comes out
I have root, the first time it froze and didn't sent a test correctly. So I tried it again using Super one. Now I have superuser. Tried both apps on the market and neither one seem to have worked thus yet.
When I try Herolz Galaxy s unlock It is unable to copy EFS, All it says is Done, Error, Not saved. And yes there is an SD card present.
The GS2 unlocker also available on the market will fart around for over 5 minutes and say unlock code not found.
What gives am I doing something wrong? I have tried it with the sim in and with it out. Using Family mobile from Walmart, so I am guessing Tmobile sim card.
Please give me some other root around this.

you know you'll only get Edge on Tmo bands.
KH7 is stock, but you stated you have root. Did you do it? if not then check the android Development forums on how to get back to stock. and start the root proccess again.
I got the root through superoneclick. It seemed it did ok as the secong time I went through it said it was already rooted. as for the crappy internet it won't really matter here as we don't even have 3g here in this town for t-mobile anyhow.
if I un-root and re flash back to stock just using the button press combo work? Any why does it only get edge on tmobile?

Unroot and back to stock would require Odin/Heimdall.
Only gets Edge on Tmo because its an at&t phone. different bands for 3g.
I have used Super One Click in the past, but its just easier to flash a rooted kernal in Odin/Heimdall, then flash a custom ROM via CWM.
Back to stock is mainly because SuperOneClick is an old tool. and then starting fresh with the latest.
But I had no need to unlock my phone, but from what I've heard its very simple, and most dont have any issues. using the app from the market
I am not afraid of ODIN. I have done that in the past but I did have a huge problem with the GS1 installing an older kernel. I just about bricked the phone. I had to use the HEimdall or what ever it was to get back in it.
On these phone with a custom kernal and rom will it automatically unlock the phone? I am just afraid of using the wrong one and in this particualr section I am sure as to where to go. It doesn't give a whole lot of detail and with the cryogen mod thing it is getting places where I am not sure if I want to really try that. I would but the information is spaced out so much I am afraid of missing something and buggering everything up. What should I have to worry about when doing this?
Also it is the software unlocking I am having problems with.

Custom kernal will not unlock the phone to be used on a network other than at&t.
Software unlock? assuming you mean using s/w to unlock the device, yes thats the way i understood this thread. I cant really tell ya much about that, but i have heard that its easy and works fine, which is why you should go back to stock first, to get rid of anything messy leftover from using an old rooting method.

Trouble Unlocking After Odin Root of
I rooted my phone using Odin and the Siyah-v3.4.2-nomswap-I777.tar file in the PDA. The phone passed, and it reloads with the triangle on the start up as expected. However, it then says "enter network lock control key". It has nothing to do with the sim, as the sim works in another phone. I have done the process several times, running odin back to the original factory settings with I777UCLE5_I777ATTLE5_I777UCLE5_HOME.tar.md5
Could someone please tell me how to get the phone unlocked?
I have done this process before with another i777 phone, and it worked fine.

I have a Galaxy Note i717 from AT&T that I rooted. Worked great.
Yesterday I upgraded to ICS via Kies. Worked great.
Then I proceeded to root it again using odin.
Unfortunately even after all the things done it now will not boot up at all.
All I get is the S a m s u n g logo. I can put it into boot mode and the computer see's it but nothing more.
If anyone can point me to any rom/bootloader/ etc. I would be most grateful.
Or just let me know what to do and where to get roms. I did search and there are many for the i700.
I guess I need a bootloader and rom right?
Sorry folks. Point me somewhere else will have to get another phone.
T h a n k s ...
Others would tell you to look in the dev section for the stock rom (its usually called something like "in case of brick) I've had issues issues getting it to work but Im certain it was user error as to why it didn't work for me. But another option that I think could work would be to get your phone into download mode and run the ics upgrade thru kies again. You'll lose everything in your phone but I think it'll get your phone up and running again. But before you do any other that...did you make a nandroid back of? Or have you downloaded any roms to your phone because if you did you can just enter cwm and reflash any rom you may have or just flash your backup, backups are so important when doing these sort of things, saves a lot of head aches.
Edit: after reading your post again it says your phone messed up after rooting, try and re run the root file thru Odin, I kinda sorta remember reading something similar to this were people had issue trying to root. I'll try and find the thread.

this happened due to rooting with the Gingerbread method...so using Nash reply run/reinstall your Official ICS...and to root....
see My Links in red in my signature...go the GNote Super page....you should see what is being used to root the Official ICS...I used it and lots others, there prob more methods out there, but I found this is the easiest and more proven method....
Cant miss the info on GNote page regarding Rooting.
so to recap...since your believe you have bricked your phone...
use the method Nash replied to you with...put into download mode....run the official ics, you will need the model, serial number of your phone...
let us know how it works out for you...

And once you're rooted and all fixed up, enter cwm and create a backup. These are great because no matter what you do to your phone as long as you can enter cwm you'll always be able to fix your phone via backup.

I wanted to mention, I'm not sure how you updated thru kies originally (legit update or emergency update) the method you'll be using this time (if you choose to fix thru kies) is the more or less emergency method. I wanted to mention this because when your in download mode and connect your phone to your PC and run kies, kies will try to connect to your device but will time out over time...it took me 2 days of Q and A before I realized kies won't connect with phone in download mode, but that's OK. Once phone is connected click tools/firmware upgrade and initialization, and as bigjoe said youll than need to input model and serial numbers (all caps) than click OK. You'll have a few prompts afterwards but yo basically on your way to a running phone.

Brick = nothing at all happening on phone.
Samsung logo = bad flash (corrupt file used)
Brick can sometimes be revived with a JTAG device.
Samsung logo means re download file, re read instructions and relevent thread, and redo your work.
Don't be too anxious -you will fix it.
I suggest using Kies upgrade > emerency firmware method. Download mode is the key.

I went through the exact same problem with someone else's Note that I was upgrading, subsequently flashing.
The above process bring the phone back to 100% stock gingerbread.
Thanks All and Resolved.

Thanks all for the replies.
I was able to go to DEV Section and get the full AT&T ICS Rom. Used ODIN to get it back to factory ICS.
Then (with great care ) re-rooted it using ICS root stuff. I have it all in case anyone else needs this route. Else follow instructions above.
Thanks all. I think for now ICS is where this will stay. In fact Gingerbread was good enough except for not being able to use Chrome.
