So i have tried Jit enabler v2 and bricked my SE
it freezes at Sony Ericsson logo,
what i can do is boot via xrecovery and since there i dont know how to remove Jit enabler,
Any advice?
Depending on what version of firmware you have, you need to download : http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=902974
and install as update.zip "*10* 2.0.A.0.*** Disable JIT.zip". That should help. If not, clear dalvik cache and reboot.
thanks, but how to put it to SD card because since its bircked i cant properly connect the phone so PC would read its SD card?

I suppose that You don't have any card reader :/
I don't really remember if ADB works in xRecovery mode, but You can try, to unpack the "disable jit" package, and push manually files to "/system/bin", and "system/lib". The build.prop should not be a problem tho. You can do that with http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=868423 but, as I said, I'm not sure about working ADB in xRecovery. I figure You don't have enough time to push files on "Sony Ericsson" logo, cuz it reboots ;/
Just try.
thanks for helping out!
unfortunetly i have a reader, and only remembered after i did via xrecovery full reset (wipe data). BUT it still didnt booted, froze uppon sony ericsson logo, so im now moving files you gave a link and praying xrecovery still works
You moved to fast with wipe
I don't really know what to say to You right now.
but seems there is xrecovery backup, so in case...i think maybe i can reinstall via update service, than restore backup i made before wiping data out and installing jit disabler. Well thats by my logic should work. But im not really expierienced with phones and dont have x10 for a long time...
Unfortunately that I think is the last thing it's left to do. Just repair the phone via SEUS. I don't want to be a ****, but it's a bitter lesson for You, that if You have xRecovery, and ADB enabled theres always a way to get passed "Sony Ericsson logo reboot". Wipe was just to fast thinking. Hope You don't get in a trouble like that ever.
Yea, i tried too long time ago JiT v2 and i also bricked my phone, i also installed by accident wrong firmware ver JiT v1 and ended up, again, with a brick.
I that case, only solution to it is to Reflash whole firmware again. Trust me, i tried all possible solutions and it didnt worked. Luckily i had my contacts backed up on my g account.
I also learned my lesion hard way, and, this is 100% true.. "If you have xRec be sure to always have a backup."
P.S. Dont worry, mini/pro dont die that easily.. Its just get hardly wounded, it will always recover, but sometimes with memory loss (since u didnt had a backup)
When i first time bricked my phone it was a day old, i freaked out, but manage to get a grip and searched forum a bit. Since i like experimenting with my software i manager to brick my phone 10+ times per day..
And.. guess what phone im using now? x10 mini
Well, yea often flashes are not a big problem, but i don't wish that to anybody, cuz as you said, and all know it's a pain in the ass to get back settings, and all the data.
"Bricking" is defiantly to strong word. Boot loops, or hanging on SE logo is far from bricking, we always have a chance to "repair" our devices by ourself, so no problem here. The real problem can be in the future, when boot loader get fully cracked, and for example we interrupt his flashing process - situation well known for other android phones users. Phone gets bricked, and theres **** we can do about it, cuz recovery is obviously not working.
I did learned something else back then (5 years ago) when flashing my phone with with a desktop PC and suddenly power failure.. bricked my phone which not even got any bootloader to start with. Since that moment I always use my laptop to flash my phone as it has battery to continue the flashing process in case power failure happen again.

Ok i was in recovery mode and i had planned on installing a ROM called Megatron(makes cpu faster). I had a bad signal on my computer so i decided to hold off on downloading the ROM. However, i remember downloading a theme and i saw the update.zip file on my desktop. I copied it to the root of my sdcard and on my phone it read,"update.zip.zip"(didnt really bother me because i figured it was STILL considered a .zip file). Anyway, I flashed it from the sdcard and i tried to reboot my phone and it went normal until it got to the Android logo. It would have the sleek light going across the logo but then it would freeze, go blank, then come back and do the same thing again. Now i tried to backup my phone before doing this but when i tried, it wouldnt let me and it told me to do it from the adb(I dont know how). Its obvious im new to this. I dont think its bricked because it turns on and i really dont know if i voided the warranty on it or not. PLEASE HELP ME!
You're bootlooping. I'm not very advanced in all this just yet, but after reading through different forums you gotta flash a factory rom.
http://www.lg.com/us/support/mc-support/mobile-phone-support.jsp
If that doesnt work, find a .zip file of the original firmware and flash it through recovery.
I got this phone from ebay, and it worked a few days before I flashed it so I know it's not hardware or a bad flash on their part because it was stock when I got it. Anyway, I flashed the generic fw through flashtool and it was working fine for awhile until one day it froze and nothing was responsive. The battery died, and I recharged it and threw it into flash mode to repair the firmware through SEUS, and it got it working for awhile until it happened again. So instead I went ahead and used flashtool to put AT&T's fw back on the phone. After I did that, the phone now only vibrates when I turn it on and then does nothing. If it does do something, it just continuously vibrates until I pull the battery. I tried using SEUS and Flashtool to flash another fw because I can get it to flash mode, but it says failed everytime no matter what firmware I use. And SEUS fails right up front when trying to repair. Any ideas?
Pull out the battery....plug the usb cable...run latest flash tool...click on flash button..when it is searching for the fone then put back the battery with pressing the return key.
Recheck the latest driver for 2.3.3
Did it work?
Dude are you aware of rooting procedures?
First you should flash the stock rom back in, then you flash some pre-rooted GB rom. Threads on X10 Android Development are full of options.

Dude did you even read my post?
I've been a member here for 3 years and have been flashing Android to phones ever since then. I have looked at the troubleshoots but they were all giving a failed flash. Not to mention this has nothing to do with root or GB, I was talking stock firmware, this brick happened before SE pushed out the GB update.
To subhanker.ds, thank you for the input, I'll give it a shot.
EDIT: Just got the same error
Uploaded with ImageShack.us
As per your screen shot, debugging mode is of....but it is not possible to on now as ur phone is dead.
I think somehow jeancca is correct...use rooting process..(no need to flash any rom)..it will automatically turn on debugging mod & then you flash ur rom...
Hope ur prob will be solved dear...
I've tried several rooting methods that and they all state I should turn on Unknown Sources and Debugging. But I cannot do this, is there a way that will force it into usb debugging as you said?
Actually at the time of flashing debugging mode automatically turn on...
Anyway i'm not getting any clue...although you can try to flash only system.sin file.then see what will happen....best of luck...
I've tried everything I can think of and I still can't get it to work. A new symptom has came up though, when I try and connect it to my PC, it will go into flash mode but after awile the LED goes off but is still recognized by the PC as being in flash mode. Same goes for when I plug it into the charging cable.
Bump.
Sorry for doing it, but is there anyone out there that can help me?! I had to think I have a $200 paperweight.
Hi..... I mentioned this on another post but thought I might see if this might help you. Although I didn't mention the use of other Flashtools in the other thread, I did end up trying Flashtool 2.8.0 and 2.9.1 and the latest edition. In the end I ended up going with the 2.8.0 to start fresh and since that was the one that was used for An Android 2.1, I flashed back to 2.1. With a few instances like those you mention I tried this and worked out.
What I did was open my devices and printers (control panel) and noticed the SEMC USB or IDE blah blah......The device pops up when connecting my phone. I would flash my phone and the go to the "Turn on phone and check debug" and ..... Same as you green light (Flash) would go on and then nothing.
What I did was unplug my phone and Uninstall the device used (SEMC USB or IDE, it named itself differently on an occasion or two) and then started my Flashtool then tried again. Goto Flashtool and prepare your Flash and wait for it to load up (took some time once or twice but....) connect your phone and try again.
I have been messing around with a bunch of apps and FW's and ROMS and lately Unlocking the BootLoader.
Some you can just goto Task Manager and Stop the ADB.exe processes but this uninstall worked excellent for me when needed.
Hope this solves your issue. Good Luck. Oh you may not need the other Flashtools but I have them on file just in case because 2.9.1 gave me a problem before when doing something. You might be able to do with whatever Flashtool you are using but just thought I would share my experience.
I have the same problem . i I flashed it with X10i rom but work for while and after 1 or 2 hours hanged and when i remove the battery it's hang in sony ericsson .
After that I flashed it with SEUS and upgrade to official rom 2.3.3
and has the same problem .DO THINK IT IS A HARDWARE PROBLEM

Thanks a lot, I will give this a shot as soon as I get home. I'll keep my fingers crossed that this may help me and the others having this sort of issue.
Mobark, I don't think it's a hardware issue. For awhile I was thinking it was a dead screen, but from the people I have heard that did indeed have dead screens, they have lines in the center of the screen while my screen just doesn't turn on.
Hi everyone i am having the same problem my phone only vibrates for sec and the green led just flash for sec than nothing but my phone goes into flash mode but the flash aborts i have also made a thread in which i fully listed my progess and software i used http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1257581
Nope, didn't seem to work. I think my problem is the phone doesn't want to stay in Flash mode for some reason.
I fix this error, i download and flash this, next i updated in SEUS, my phone is Xperia Play
Sorry for my bad english.
Ok, so I upgraded to 3.0.0 and tried flashing the generic fw again to no avail. And as far as above, the firmware isn't for the x10, it's for the Play, Arc, and Neo.
This is what i did
Not sure if this will work for you but this is how I fixed my phone.
When I first changed the rom on my phone i was on baseband 435. I never changed the baseband with the custom rom install.
My friend factory erased the phone and then it would take 45 - 50 mins to finish booting (would turn on i would see se logo and 50 mins later I'd get to a stock "slide to unlock screen" upon doing so i would get a black bg with the custom batt meter and clock at the top. it also dected the sd wasnt plugged in.
While the phone was on, Sony Ericsson pc Companion would say please mount sd card, and that i couldnt do.
While trying to use flashtool 2.9.1 it would say please put the phone in debuggign mode.
At this point, your ss shows you making it further than i did. because mine wouldnt make it past the date/time (yours starts flashing an fails some way through).
I tried 4 roms and none of them worked.
Then i found http://www.multiupload.com/9H20YEXEHR and After updating to flash tool 3.0.0, and using the stock rom that i posted the link to, It worked. but i had to try a few times. At http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=920746 There are 3 different stock roms for x10a (I used the first one in the x10a list)
I used the one that matched my baseband. Try an match yours if you know it.
When i connected usb, the phone would not turn on. The phone would only turn on with batt in. So i connected usb, held back and put batt in.
Doing this worked, I held the back button until the flash completed.
Also as a note, I did not change the bootloader, that could be why it would boot after 50 mins or so.
I hope this helps.

I installed Chainfire3D (after hearing good things about it) and then realized the problems it causes, so i deleted the app and then its CF3D drivers from system/lib which didnt work properly anyways. Upon restart device doesnt boot anymore :crying: (welI maybe its on cause the battery generates heat, but its black screen) I also couldnt get titanium backup to work in the past just in case something like this happens cause it was constantly stuck on yahoo finance when backing up.
My main issue is I had alot of things (worth a couple days) installed on my phone, and dont want to lose all of it. Bad thing i didnt realize there is Nanadroid backup (cause its my first android phone) which works unlike titanium quickly and efficiently, but backing things up now after black screen is pointless no? i can acess CWM recovery, but dont want to factory reset yet.
So any way to inject those stupid CF3D drivers via ADB? Or maybe backup everything but that certain system/lib folder?
Edit: i ran into this:
On CF-Root just boot into recovery, ADB shell to it, and type "rootsh" (instead of "su") to have root shell access... if anything goes wrong, just "mount /system" and "/system/lib/cf3d_uninstall.sh" to remove the CF3D driver and restore the old one. Not very likely it will happen, but a good fallback option in case of issues (no need to reflash firmware or restore backup)

, unfortunately cf3d_uninstall.sh was one of the files i deleted, but maybe if someone who has Chainfire3D installed on S3 LTE can share that file, i can then inject it and restore the old drivers?
Seems mine suffered a similar fate.
a friend suggested SPB 3D loaded it. It sucked and caused lock-ups and delays. I uninstalled and the phone seemed to be fine after.
I plugged the phone in to charge overnight and about an hour later when going to bed the screen was stuck on the boot-up screen.
has not gone past this since.
Wanted to get the firmware restored and after trying to find a suitable stock one I took it to my SP for repair they tried to flash it but it fails every time, they said the motherboard is toast.
It will boot to flash mode so it can be uploaded but it doesn't work. Odin says no partitions.
Tried Heimdall it detects the phone but it tells me the image is corrupt and I also have no idea how to repair the partition that seems to be lost.
white 16GB Tmoble GS3
Actually my current issue is similar, it boots up says galaxy S3 then black screen. I can connect to odin, i can boot into clockwork, and i can flash roms, ODIN says everything is successful after i flash but when it boots it still goes to a black screen. this happened after i flashed a rom(that worked) and flashing a kernel that also previously worked....after that its been stuck....i can flash whatever with success but i cannot seem to get it past that Galaxy S3 screen....
I flashed the new FreeGS3 rom, and the TGST STOCK ICS Alpha37 kernel i cleared caches and wiped davliks not too sure where to go from here.....Do i need factory tmoble GS3 PIT file?

Well thing is on my end...i didn't flash whatever the OP had flashed. What i DID do though is flash a rom and a kernel on the same cwm event. when it rebooted...it just does this....
i have a backup file....its on my laptop though....with only using odin or cwm how can i push that file onto my phone? My CWM doesnt have USB mount else id just do that.....?
Hey all, before I say my problem, firstly I have no idea if this is the right section in the forums so apologies in advance, secondly, I have held out for 3 days trying to work out various issues before I posted. I probably did just miss one thing or misread another but no matter how much I look, no idea what as new to this. Thanks in advance for your help.
Basically, wanted to flash some custom firmware to my phone, I have been having many issues with backing up on Kies, seems to be something related to my USB's and my computer, it keeps failing during the backing up of programs. I ended up giving up on this, made a titanium pro back up of System files and of programs, also made a Nandroid backup, both on my internal phone memory I believe. Have root access, installed busy box and such, backed up some other stuff using EFS Pro, now I am completely confused, I have followed a few guides dotted around the internet, tried to install some custom firmware, it was Carbon Rom 4.2 I believe. I went into the CMW menu, wiped data/factory reset, wiped partition cache, and wiped dalvik cache, installed the rom from my internal phone memory, as it would not find it on the memory card when I tried, and now after two attempts of it seemingly doing it, on rebooting the phone, I go back to the Samsung firmware.
I have tried to read up as much as I can but obviously I am missing something here and no amount of guides or google searches have hinted at my problem, could anyone help? I know people asking constantly for information on how to put on custom firmware will be irritating, but I have genuinely taken this as far as I can alone Cheers
Now after formating something under mount/system, my phone is stuck on the logo screen, reinstalling the ROM does not work either, no idea what to do now
reflash rom, wipe data and voila.
Hey, thanks for the reply. By reflash rom, which way do you mean, am pretty confused still. The rom I download basically bricked my phone, I don't know why, I think to recover it I use ODIN and get my stock software, so is that what you mean? Or can I somehow use my Nandroid back up..?

If you have a Nandroid restore that or flash your original firmware via Odin .
Never restore system files after a firmware change with TB .

Ok here is the situation now, I have made things 100 times worse, I possibly should not of been doing it this late... I followed guides exactly though and there is definitely something not working right with this phone, I just don't know what, all I know is its very temperamental with connecting to computers and will fail doing the custom firmware flashes half the time, no matter what I use, even using the stock ROM i got from samimobile has caused many problems. It might be me, I don't know, but in my frustration followed some advice on a forum and I think I formatted the mount/system. SO obviously I lost both my back up's. My fault and can live with that, phone was bricked and had to do that to get past it I think..
But now no matter what kernel I use and have tried quite a few including my original one, I am unable to connect to my home wifi. It definitely is not the wifi, it worked just fine before I flashed the phone and has been working with it for 4 months, now whenever I set up the phone its constantly stuck in this obtaining network ip infinite loop. No fixes I have used have helped at all so far Sorry to keep asking stuff, I am just literally at the end of my tether, was up until 7am messing with it to no avail.
Just to reiterate a point, the reason I wanted custom firmware was because the phone was crashing randomly and just dying on me and also the speaker had lost like 90% of the volume when I wanted to play music, also it would not connect to my computer with ease, now obviously before I did anything it had issues. So that is why I feel something might be wrong, not saying I did not break anything myself, just the process of flashing the firmware has been pretty straight forward once I did it a couple of times, it has just been failing and bricking every other time, so I am not sure what the problem actually is, did I miss a step, did I mess it up? If not what has. Please helps guys. Regards.

Usual reply if you did not know what and why and had never bothered to read the faqs and guides before flashing .Then its nearly always user error .
Best take it to a service centre and pay for a repair .

Found out something really handy
Hi guys,
TheGS3 has 1 huge trick when u got stuck in firmware, CSC, etc.
Especially when u used some super usefull toolkit (like me)
I used the Galaxy S3 Toolkit, option4 (ALL in ONE) just push enter 2 times
1 to start and the last one to exit...
Got all the issues i read on hundreds of pages searching for the solution.
Accidentialy i found this morning (its 4:45am right now and busy with it since 15:00)
Start Kies, connect GS3 with USB kabel and when it says not connected take out USB
Dont plug in USB for a while...
In KIES go to Tools and irmware upgrade.. Remember, DONT plug in USB
It will ask u for your model nr which is printed on sticker in baterycover
Confirm and it will ask u S / N' which is printed on same sticker
It will start downloading firmware and u will be guided through update progress
Good Luck to y'all.. Time to go to bed.......

ohh and i try flashing it i dont know (again) if im doing it right but its not working for me very well im using odin
okay just giving an update here i learned a few things on my own from adb i learned that since the phone is in bootloop adb is useless since it always giving me a error device not found for every command i put in the command prompt i also read in a site that well in shorter words the device needs to be operational and able to be recognize it in the usb i try downloading the lg driver to see if this would work but nothing it just say that the driver is up to date
i also try deleting everything from my sd card putting the stock rom files i found for the lg everything extracts fine except the system.ext4 thats where the framework and all that good stuff still i dont think that would do any good any advice would be appreciate greatly
