please help me guys!
I've flashed my phone from 1.6 to 2.1 using generic firmware, but after the flash, my phone doesn't want to start up and it's not being recognised by seus..I'm going crazy...i feel the vibration when I try to power on, but that's it, nothing happens..tried to relflash but it's not working..help pls!
I tried to reflash it and do it all over again, the procedure finished but still after pressing the power button, I feel it vibrate and it doesn't boot up..nothing is happening..how can I sort this problem out?? I loved my phone, please don't tell me I've bricked it :'(
**** man, I'm in the same boat
The screens backlighting starts up and it flickers every few seconds but that's it. I've suesed it, x10 flashed it and repeated. Nothing, nadda, zip
I'll be back as soon as I have some more news...
Just used Bin4ry's jerpelea's old X10 flash to flash back to generic nordic 1.6 (026) FW.
MY PHONE LIVES
It's running now so I'm gonna do a SEUS update and see what happens.
hey buddy have you got a link for that??
I got it here before the update came out: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=683793
the flash tool is in the third post, and just pick a 1.6 rom from the second post.
Just updated with SEUS and everythings sweet now
Hope you get it sorted too.
I have to try again from work as from home since I'm on 64bit Win 7 java is not working (
so what I need to do is download the flash tool
download a 1.6rom (which I've done)
plug into flash mode xperia and hope for the best??
( I've got a bad feeling about this
Mind explaining what you did, exactly? 'Cause I tried running the flashtool and i got "cannot find batch file, Win7 64". =[
I don't know what you guys are worried about -- if it's not working just keep trying -- you're either miss timing things or doing it wrong.
On x64 versions of windows make sure all JVM (Java versions) are uninstalled and just install the 32bit version. Make sure that java directory shows up in your paths section of Environment Variables (Control Panel -> System -> Advanced).
Dont unpack the flasher somewhere with a weird directory structure like C:\My Stuff\Some-Place\x10
Just put it somewhere simple like C:\x10flash to keep any spaces or special characters from possibly breaking any of the batch files.
Most importantly you have to be sure you're actually getting the phone into flash mode -- otherwise you get errors.
Plug the usb cable into the phone, pull the battery, hold the back button, put in battery and plug in the usb just after -- the green led flashes if you got it right (I think -- I don't have my x10 here right now).
It's VERY hard to actually permanently brick one of these phones IMO without doing something incredibly wrong.
I'm definitely in flash mode.
I tried flashing both 2.1 global generic and the 1.6 rom, however none are working. With 2.1 the phone doesn't boot, with 1.6 the phone doesn't boot and keeps vibrating.
What I've done is copied the sin files in the rom folder into the flash folder and run flash.bat and then connect the phone in flash mode. The procedure ends normally, but something is going terribly wrong. I'm sure I'm doing everything right.
I've now downloaded the seus update service and reinstalled the software and finally the phone managed to boot but I'm back on 1.6
I guess there is something wrong in the files?? Oh well at least I didn't brick my phone, but this makes me highly uncomfortable trying the 2.2 custom rom when it's out.
I had the same problem and tried just about everything.
The only thing that worked was the ROOT_F3v3 uploaded
by jerpelea here.
It's a 1.6 version German version and if everything goes fine you can change the CDA
to match the one you like and have 2.1 using SEUS.

If with 1.6 the phone boots and keeps vibrating it means you flashed the update that does not include the full version. Don't do this again!
Technically the flash tool is also a "unbricker" so if used according to the instructions it really should not be a problem. I suggest you go through the instructions again to see where your problem might be, as suggested above.

Theoretically, you're right. But I had the same problem last night (after doing something I really shouldn't have ). It was the first time I'd had this flavour of brick, but I have had plenty of others and have reflashed numorous times. Still, I reflashed with the old flash tool to 1.6 and still had a brick, repaired with seus 3 times and still had a brick, and flashed three times with the new X10 Flash for 2.1. Still no dice... and I did do everything right, like I said, it's not the first time I've done this.
Flash number 8 with the old flash tool (same procedure and same firmware as flash no. 1) and my phone is back. Rebooted it and then updated to 2.1 with seus and now I'm all sorted.
Just had to say this, because it's not always the user doing something wrong

I've followed the instructions and I've been very careful as it was my very first time doing this and I've been reading quite a lot before I took the step. The 1.6rom I've downloaded I got it from the link of jerpelea. Most probably the 1.6 global generic and the 2.1 global generic roms have a missing file or something.
I didn't try flashing to Nordic as I thought it will do the same again. As I said, now I'm a little bit reluctant to flash my mobile again and will have to wait for the bastards at SE to release the update for my region.

Wow mate, you really are persistent. I'm glad it worked for you. I think I've flashed 5 times in total and I was praying my lucky star to make the bloody thing boot and I was sooooo relieved when I managed to boot after repairing with seus.
Try this. 2.1 (Rogers FW) tool.
2nd post down by hehh. Saved my phone.

I have a SGS2 GT-9100M (Bell canada) Used on Telus.
I used the root guide from here http://androidforums.com/galaxy-s2-...lock-root-bell-galaxy-s2-step-step-guide.html step by step.
I then installed both titanium premium and rom manager premium. I tried to back up using rom manager but it gave me the "Failed to verify whole-file signature" error.
For whatever reason, I forgot about the backup and proceeded to attempt to load the 115 daily CM7 build from CWM and got the same error i got when attempting backup. Now this is where I should have stopped.....BUT I then decided to load 115 through the recovery menu, so I had to get the .zip onto the phone by dropping debug mode which worked fine but got me into a boot loop and I didn't reinitialize debug mode
After reading around it said to flash twice and this should fix it. I flashed it over 9000 times (4), but to my dismay it was still stuck in loop.
So I found this Video on the boot loop sticky. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=tVwiiSStuSQ and attempted to flash the Stock rom from here: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1113928
But it hangs about 1/3 of the way through. I unplug it and it says "encountered an error during firmware update, please connect to kies and use the emergency recovery" or something like that. Well ok so that did nothing either, kies cannot help me unless the firmware update failed IN kies.
I'm not an expert at this stuff but I'm also not brand new and know I could have done something stupid here without realizing it.
I CAN get to download mode and flash the stock kernel and the CF kernel to get back CWM recovery mode in blue but the stock bell rom will NOT complete. IF anyone has any clue that will help me figure this out I will be beyond thankful.
ps: I also tried flashing the stable CM7 release but this did not help.
The worst part about this is that I have to use my milestone again. ~_~
Have you tried one of intratechs Frankenstein Roms, it may help.
Any idea where I can find the appropriate one?

Well that worked! Dude, you rock.
Now I just need to root again. lol
HELP!!! after searching all the posts i cant find a fix for this, i was running Team Rom on my X10, decided to change to MIUI prime, for some reason my phone then wont boot up after reboot? just stays on SE logo,I tried the SE PC companion, and after running the update process there, it returned error: there is no software available for your phone at this time??
I cant find any reference to this anywhere online??
Has anyone come across or know of a fix??
Thanks in advance
Get Flashtool. Look in the dev section.
just flash back your original firmware http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=936733 using Flashtool and redo the rooting back..back to your MIUI Rom flashing problem..did you read the cobrato method of flashing locked/unlocked bootloader?? if yes..after flashing the MIUI Rom completed using CWM5..immediately flash lockedBL.zip (i presume your X10 is locked)..then reboot
I had a similar problem, I screwed up flashing between roms and the phone wouldn't boot up. I ended up wiping everything, on phone and sd card. I really screwed up! I tried SEUS repair but it wouldn't let me, my bootloader is unlocked so that's why I suspect. In the end I flashed a stock 2.3.3 rom and went from there, all's good now. As for SEUS, even re locking the bootloader didn't help, something to do with DRM, not sure, at least flashtool is a life saver
you could always try the Update service from Sony, saved me a lot of times as that little gem
Flash back to 2.1 generic firmware using flashtool.
You'll need to find the 2.1 firmware on Google(its an xda thread). Then via flash tool flash that firmware. Now everything should work.
I hope you know how to put your phone in mto flashmode
Sent from FeraLabs v;3.0 Rom + patch +theme = best Rom ever for my x10. (Xda Premium)

Hello,
I hope someone can help me, I have this problem with a friend's Galaxy Ace S5830M, at the beginning it only reboot with the sim on, I downloaded kies and update the firmware to the latest version but it has the same problem so I look in to google and find some "solution", flash the S5830C fw (4 Files, BOOT, PDA, PHONE and CSC) with ODIN 1.85 so I did that but now the phone reboots even without a sim card on it, I tried to reflash the stock rom, I downloaded ODIN 3.07 and flashed the original Telcel .md5 fw wich I found on sammobile/firmwares and the phone is still rebooting, I have noticed that the phone reboots right when the media scanner is at 30%, the phone doesnt have a SD card on it.
I already tried to flash numerous fw that I found on sammobile and some others that I found here (I got an SD card, rooted the phone, used CWM and installed roms from there but the phone is still rebooting with the media scanner).
The phone always reboots when the media scanner its running and with or without and SD card, I already tryied flashing the stock rom checkin the re-partition box in ODIN but the problem persist.
Anyone have an idea on how to fix this? I would really appreciate the help.
Thanks.

Is the phone under warranty?
If it is, then flash stock ROM and without rooting or installing CWM, go to Samsung Service Centre and explain the problem
Don't tell them anything about rooting or anything!

Thanks for the reply Jamal,

Thanks dude, I will stay on touch about what they said to me.
Someone please help me! My phone has been dead for 2 days, and I tried every written method to revive it, but no luck, its stuck in a bootloop, and I cant do anything with it..
The problem started, when I flashed an official ftf in flashtool. Since then, its stuck in a bootloop. It gets to the dancing xperia lines stage, but then it just reboots, and starts again. I tried flashing like 13 different ftf s, and no change.
My phone had an unlocked bootloader, and I was on a working nougat rom, I just decided to go back zo the official rom, by flashing an OG 5.1.1 ftf, then when it booted up, it got to the stage when it says updating android apps, and when it finished that, it just rebooted, and started it again and again.
Someone please help me what to do :crying:

Did you tried flashing another kernel(like elite v3)and do a clean installation of an stock based rom???
And did you checked all wipes in flashtools???
