First off please let me state that I am aware that I am not any sort of expert when it comes to this sort of stuff. I might use incorrect terms and say things in a way that displays my ignorance to these extremely technical topics. I am have some good common sense and problem solving skills though so if someone were to offer me some help I can probably 'figure it out' by thinking critically.
I have a X10A with AT&T and was too impatient to wait for SE to come out with the 2.1 update here. When the Nordic update came out I was one of the people that rooted and de-branded my phone so that I could get 2.1 on it. Everything went fine and nothing else seems to be wrong with the phone except the boot loop problem. I can not seem to find a definitive answer as to how to fix this on any forums or anywhere else on the internet. I updated it with SEUS and it did not fix the problem.
Since having done this I have read that all the user data must be wiped before rooting/upgrading otherwise one can get stuck in this boot loop (http://www.xda-developers.com/androi...or-xperia-x10/). I don't know if that is what happened to me or not???? Any help someone could offer would be very much appreciated. Thank you.
So you flashed to nordic when it came out but you just now get a boot loop?
Not sure what happened but I'd say try flashing it. Since you are in a boot loop & can't power on & turn it off to get into flash mode, try THIS
I suggest 2.1.A.0.435 X10a 2.1 Global Generic, there's a nice guide HERE on how to install & optimize it. From there you can install a custom rom if you want or just wait for the 2.3 update from SE or see what our devs come up with in the meantime...
At&t will never give us an update... one of my many complaints with them... I am dropping home & cell services ASAP...
Yes I flashed to Nordic when it came out. I have been in a boot loop ever since. I am just now posting this because I have not had time to deal with it. I had insurance on the phone and just got another one instead of fixing it. I will try your suggestion and let you know how it works out. Thanks for the help!

Do you flashed the correct baseband to your ROM?
Maybe you have to install correct baseband with flashtool.

Hi new to forums but big big fan. I have seen the problem i face posted on many forums including xda but not with sufficient information. So here goes.
My partner bought a galaxy ace from virgin here in UK, it came with 2.3.3 pre installed after 3 days texts stop sending with 3g on but still be received. But when wifi is on or packet data or 3g turned off texts send. Now my partner had problems with germ previous phone abduction doesn't want to root in fear of needing tech help in future, now we can find a temp fix using automateit but not ideal for her. I will also note my sister got one on 3 and the problem hasn't occurred. Any other ace owners got this / fixed it without root and new Rom? Virgin CS is useless so not had any help from them. As i said i know this subject has risen before but just needed help as virgin will NOT reduce bill even though Im sure its their problem.
Any help / ideas?

I haad the same problem on one of my SGA', However it is on Orange and i had the exact same problem, this exact problem didnt start untill 2-3 days after purchase. I found NO fix for this..1 week later i flashed to 2.3.3 KP7 not the original pre-installed stock rom..Ever since flashing the problem has not reoccured.
I hope this may point you into the right direction,
Ste.
i got her to give in and let me root, and install official 2.3.4 on it using odin, but problem still there, so what install a earlier non network rom to fix? i thought the official 2.3.4 was non network specific?
Glad she gave into let you root her sga, thous im sure she wouldnt have notice it if you dont it without her knowing
Anyways back on topic,
I advise you to Flash (USING ODIN) to S5830XWKPW, CSC - S5830OXXKPC. This should rectify your issue
You can obtain it from samfirmware . com
Ste
ok nice, but im a little confused about this, with my hero all data had to be deleted before flashing, but with galaxy ace you dont?

Can you use any custom roms if your on orange uk ?
is the problem with just using 2.3.5?
I just rooted my Galaxy s2
specs:
android version 2.3.4
model # SPH-D710
Kernel version 2.6.35.7-19100xwkdd-CL161513
Build number Gingerbread.EG30
Now i have no wifi and no service. I dont have any programs installed on the phone like cyanogenmod, rom manager or clockworkrecovery. I read that some people have it on there phone but i dont have service so i dont know how to install it on phone if i need it to fix this problem.
I did do a lot of searching but cant find the solution. Im thinking about bringing it to a sprint store to see if they can fix it but i thought id try this post as a last solutuion, im really fed up with this problem now. Any detailed help would be much appreciated...thanks
P.S. i went to settings>privacy>factory data reset and that didnt work and it still shows superuser on my phone.
Try flashing original firmware =)

Please use the Q&A Forum for questions Thanks
Moving to Q&A
I'm looking to download stock rom XXKI3. I need to return my I900 to the store and want to restore the firmware I had when I bought the phone. I am currently using MIUI v4 and don't want any hassle from the staff.
I am living in China and have only had the phone for 2 days. I noticed that the screen has screen burn/ ghosting, It's not very obvious, but after loading a pure blue image I can make out some of the display, and it looks like either a Chinese/ Korean keypad. I would assume then that the phone I got has been used before me, either by someone, or on display, which I am obviously not happy about.
I don't want to give them any reason to not give me a replacement phone.
All the links online I can find are dead, if anyone has it or knows where I can get it, I would much appreciate the help.
I have the files for Odin. Let me upload them and I'll post you a link!

This one? http://www.sammobile.com/firmware/?page=8&view=447
Thanks for all the replies! Oh man do I feel dumb, I posted the wrong code, it's actually ZSKI3 I need.
XXKI3 doesn't have the Chinese language, which they will no doubt try to switch the phone to when I take it in.
I can't find ZSKI3 on sammobile or anywhere on google. The link on the firmwares page on this site is dead too.
Any ideas?
Found it!

many thanks! i need that rom too
i upgraded my phone to 4.0.3 accidentially (kies prompted me to upgrade when i connect my phone to the PC, and i clicked the button to confirm the action wrongly)
since then, my phone sucks, hangs and crashed with some apps, even after i reset to the factory setting (cleared all the data!!!!)
now, my phone is likely to hang up, while i installed apk files (but it is ok to install app directly from google play) (the apk files are ok in the previous ver of andriod and should be the same as the one if i download them from google play directly)
so i decided to revert back to 2.3.5..................and would not upgrade the firmware again..................
Trying to flash to stock HK firmware since encountering a boot loop
I wasn't sure if I was in the right thread so I originally posted on here:
[Q] How to flash the original ROM?(HK official ROM)
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?p=31073452#post31073452
Hope everyone doesn't mind me posting some questions on this thread too.
I am trying to figure out which official stock firmware for Hong Kong I should use (ZSKF1, ZSKF4, ZSKG2, ZSKI3) since I can no longer access settings on my phone due to the boot loop error. I am basically guessing since I cannot remember the exact kernel version or any other info. I am trying my best to make more educated guesses. I know I got my phone from Hong Kong in Nov 2011.
First I am trying to follow the instructions on this thread for the boot loop error. It requires me to find the stock rom I want to flash to. So I am working on finding the correct stock rom.
[READ THIS] Got a Boot Loop? Don't post a New Thread!
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1108499
I was getting lost in the list of them on here. But I narrowed it the the 4 I picked out with code ZS for China, Hong Kong.

http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1075278
For booshman:
The file you gave on this thread, it is for ZSKI3 but how do I know if it is right for my case? Will it restore to GT-i9100 Android 2.3.5 Gingerbread for Hong Kong stock rom? I had no custom roms and was running from the stock all the way through and I still encountered the boot loop error.
I already tried going on samfirmware but they only had Android ver 4 for Hong Kong. I want to restore my phone to exactly what I had before which is Gingerbread and start anew from there.
If anyone can give me some insights, that will be greatly appreciated!
Thank you all!!
I figured it all out! I got out of boot loop! No need for response. Sorry for spamming everyone...
Just wanted to say:
This page helped me to do it. I gave appropriate thanks!

Hi guys.
Totally Noob here.
First of all, i admire to helping ppl here, and many smart and genious hard working gys!
I flashed my x10i (i can swear, it was x10i !!) to 2.3.3, baseband ver.2.1.71,all was ok, till i spoted the phone converted to x10a(!?).
Also i have noticed some gray spot on my pictures, i suppose it's a software problem, what do you think?
And my music getting glitchy while playing on, if moving the phone. All the rest working great:silly:
So., i would like to downgrade to previuos firmware (cant find a healthy mirror link, so if someone could help, i'd appreciate it), but dont remember was it 2.1 or 2.2(
So what do you suggest in my case plz?
p.s.
the phone is still sim locked, is there some software solution here to unlock, cuz cant unlock by code.
thx for all answers!
Hi, maybe ya messed during flashing your rom. If rooted, try check ya buiklprop, see is there any line mentioning "x10a", try change it into "x10i" and reboot phone. Ur rom is official updated or custom? 2.3.3GB music player is wellknown buggy non smooth. Only can be solved if using other music player that supported. And about the link for 2.1 here from MY BUDDY'S thelogic hope helps

no free solution for unlocking your sim.
Also the camera works perfectly in 2.3.3
either reflash the 2.3.3 rom using flashtool or repair using PCC or SEUS.
If music still is glitchy, use some stock based custom roms

What would help other people to post answers for you is if you could list what you have done to solve the problem..There are lost of things you can do but it would be helpful to list what you have done to solve the problem, so that people are not posting answers that you have already tried.. Also don't forget to read the stickies on the subject..:good:
As you have already read and tried all the fixes then you need a service centre repair .
