Don't think that i didn't read all the treads about this matter, because i did.
And it is not clear to me if finally there is way to revive atom life's boot loader with JTAG procedure or other similar.
Anyone ?

anyone please, it's a simple question ?
I wish you best luck in reviving you device. But to make you feel better i will consider taking ur device as spare parts for mine. i scratched mine several months back and could use some parts.
Before you throw it away. PM me.
regards
*sigh* ignore him.. anyways whats the problem exactly with your device? It boots but it doesn't go into the bootloader? or what?
So I have an LG Optimus One and it's headphone jack is messed up for some reason.
It's well under warranty so no problem regarding that, BUT I've rooted my phone and installed a custom ROM.
Should I flash the stock ROM back and unroot my phone before sending it to the service center, or should I just take it as it is? Would they void my warranty if they find out?
I'm located in New Delhi, India, if someone has any such experiences please tell.
Thanks.
whell someone said u should get it back stock
i belive u know what that means
why take any chances,flash it back to stock.

Yes rooting and flashing is illegal. There's a fine of $ 10000 and imprisonment of 3yrs if found guilty and they will also sue your properties

Are you serious? Its not Illegal I think since it doesn't have impact on sales of the company or has anything to do with the company or manufacturer of the phone. Max they can do is VOID the warranty. Nothing else.
Rooting the device voids your warranty. Nothings illegal. If u want warranty back flash stock rom using kdz updater method. Or if u have just rooted stock rom then unroot.

Warranty is always void, if u use custom rom,root, recovery etc.
I am using the same Gingerbread and my sim/data working fine.

Go ask your lawyer. Flashing an official FW does not affect warranty in countries with sane legal system. Nor does flashing whatever piece of junk void your warranty for HW defects (again, in countries with sane legal system.)
Just wait till monday! . Mik is coming with a new release today or tomorrow. It's going to reveal some very good things. Also Mik will hopefully release two patches to resolve baseband issues in a few days. That will nullify the need to flash baseband if users don't want to flash baseband.
If you can't wait this much, flash official gb via kdz or lgmdp while following the instructions carefully.
Rooting, flashing voids your warranty. One should be very careful while reading instructions. If one follows instructions carefully, chances of brick are less than 1%.
If you are plain unlucky and brick your device somehow, you may go to service center and act as a noob and just tell them you tried to upgrade from lg pc suite and something wrong happened. Here there is 90% chance that you will get a replacement.
Keeping all these things in mind, you can take a decision.

Rude? WTH. You are asking in the wrong place. Again - you need to ask someone who is familiar with your local legal system to answer questions about warranty. Not here. N.B. that manufactures' claims about voiding warranty are often illegal and have no effect in reality if people are really willing to assert their rights.

He is not rude in any way but i believe i can use some other words to explain you. Ans beauty is he has explained you quite well though it different manner.
Flashing any ROM and rooting can affect your warranty, but those are country specified. Like in India we can't have warranty after rooting(Lg people are rally don't know what is rooting and all they just keep replacing hardware and some time whole device) but doktornotor said they have at least hardware warranty even after flashing custom ROM.
If you care so much about the warranty, you should not have joined the xda community in first place. Stuck with the old official ROM with no root and enjoy the laggy, less performance and less battery.
If you need best ROM, best performance and no lags- Stop worrying about the warranty.

Another ROM Manager victim. Please read around before you do smart things to your phone. Its well know that ROM Manager bricks the ACE. Try to get to download mode and flash a ROM via Odin. If you cant, take it to repair center.

Spoon feeding is not allowed here.
If you're a Android n00b and want to know how to root or flash custom or stock roms I suggest you do some reading/research. We have plenty of Q&A and guides that cover this.
Asking "how do I root" is a silly question to ask because its already been asked and answered so just look/read.
If you lost somehow your IMEI number(0 under *#06#), rooting the device won't help.
First, before any movement, backup your data and then restore defaults. Maybe it's some king of bug?
Settings->backup &restore -> restore defaults, erase memory.

yea i did type *#06# but imei is not showing up . its empty!! its not a bug. its a corruption in the imei ... i have no idea what to do now
First, relax. Its just a phone.
If the phone is still under warrenty - get it replaced/fixed for free where you bought it from.
If not, try to recover the iemi like it's explained here: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1264021

If you don't get it, there isn't anything further anyone here can do to help you. Send it to a Samsung service centre/authorised repairer, or ask local mobile repair shops. This is not something you're going to fix yourself.

hmmm.. well i went to them . they asked me to change the motherboard whith a total cost of 800 dhs.. which my parents wont give
CMD is command line - like MSDOS or Linux terminal. ADB is not something that you'll get by asking questions and getting answers, you need to read about it and understand it. It will take you a couple of days to figure it out.
I'd try going to several different phone shops/labs. Hopefully they will diagnose the problem without replacing the entire PCB. It's worth a shot.
If every shop says that you must replace the board, ask around. Maybe one of your friends knows someone who is able to fix this.
From what you described it seems like water damage or other hardware fault.

If you want anyone to -try to- help you get your phone back you should at least consider searching for easy questions.
Check what ROM you are on and perform a search at xda or google (or both).
Now, are you sure warranty is voided? if it was 2 years you still got time....If you root your devices, warranty will be off the table for you.
Seat back and get you sh*t together, take a long breath and then report back to see what's up.

Hi all,
I have exactly the same issue on my Galaxy S2 on Vodaphone in the UK. It's out of warranty and not rooted. I did an IOS upgrade to ICS v4.0.3 and at that point it shows no signal and the IMEI no. is blank after dialing *#06#. Somehow it has lost/corrupted the IMEI no. during the upgrade.
Is the only way to recover the IMEI no. to root the phone? Or is there another method?
Thanks all!
An iOS upgrade ? No wonder you borked your IMEI
Go to Samfirmware, find the latest stock rom for your carrier/country. Flash it with Odin. How ? Search/read/learn. If you're lucky, yours is a case where the IMEI disappearing is a transient thing & doing a 'good' flash of stock (as opposed to the update that obviously barfed in some way - I presume you're talking about an OTA update as opposed to something you did manually ?) might well fix the problem. We've seen a number of similar problems on here lately.
If you're unlucky, you're SOOL & it ain't coming back. Rooting it isn't going to magically fix it unless you have an EFS backup, which you won't have if you're someone who's never rooted their phone. Take it to a local mobile repair shop, they may be able to help. A Samsung service centre/authorised repairer will also fix it for you regardless of the warranty status, they'll just charge you more than a local mobile shop who isn't an authorised Samsung repairer will, likely.
Thank you for your response! I took the S2 to a phone repair shop, the guy tried flashing it back to stock IOS but this failed. He ended up replacing the motherboard, all fine now. Would like to find out the safest way to upgrade the IOS to Jelly Bean now, it's currently running Gingerbread v2.3.3. Any advice appreciated, in the meantime will do some reading up.
Thanks all, great forum!

Okay i might be able to help you .but tell me your model number ......
if its GT-I9100 then you can update easily ,but if its gt-i9100G or smoething else,im nt sure i cn help .. u might have to do some readings ..
The model is GT-I9100, I managed to successfully upgrade the IOS to 4.1.2 using Kies. Perhaps I should've done that first time around instead of selecting Settings-About Device-Software Update over Wifi - which resulted in the phone losing it's IMEI no.
Many thanks for the replies!
okay dude .. enjoy your JB ...
