Why don't you try a JIG? Knowing your skills you can easily make it work.

It's not the end. I'm trying to save money to get another one.
I've already tried the JIG. No boot.
The bootloader is nowhere near intact.

Maybe he has a better phone but he wants to help us to make our phone better? You should thank him for his effort. This is not a crap phone, there are worser phones to buy. And with the mods and tweaks this can be a powerfull phone!!

I never said this phone is crap.
But when you get an opportunity to upgradable to a better one..Why not..
Buying a phone to help us is OMFG! He would spend so much just to help us?
"You should thank him for his effort">I always did!

Yeah I agree with Rudolf get another phone.

Go to local service center, and ask them if they cant flash it. It can cost 5$ .... they have special stuff to flash

Ain't they too strict there?
Here in India one fake story+ innocent face + original bill does the job..
Also warranty is for free repair.(unless its a serious hardware damage)
You can still get it done without warranty just have to pay service charge..try a different service center

I made a mistake in odin.

Hey guys , was tying to restore factory kernal in Odin and accidentally did it under "phone" instead of "PDA"
I now have NO service at all . I have been having a massive meltdown for the past 3 hours until now . I have finally gotten my phone restored and good to go , except for having no service. Is this something any of youh guys know how to fix?
Sorry, no. Your phone is a goner.

Flashing the "phone" portion in Odin is one thing we cannot recover from. At least u have a nice PDA.

I wish I was joking. I am sorry, but unless you can convince someone to leak a modem.bin for our phone, its a lost cause.
I have no doubt that one day we can fix this but right now we don't have the required resources.
Sent from my SCH-I500 using XDA App
Man ...if there is anyone i trust , its you . I cant believe one button has made my phone useless... So nothing that can be found in a system dump or anything? I mean im looking at $400 for a new one . So if there is ANYONE with this thing there would be like $200 in it for them . Really .
We haven't been able to dump the radio. The modem.bin exists but no tester is leaking it, likely for fear of their job. That said you have nothing to lose right now so if we can find a CURRENT radio for the Mesmerize it would be worth trying. Both US cellular and cellular south are currently selling it. Ask around and see if you can find something. I will check some websites when I get home but don't expect results.
Sent from my SCH-I500 using XDA App
Also keep in mind Froyo will most likely release with a new radio. If its a full radio file then it will probably fix your phone.
Sent from my SCH-I500 using XDA App
Man i wouldnt even know where to begin asking for such a thing. if you point me in a direction i will go .
well... i found something ...and i got nothing to loose ,like you said . So time to start flashing...
No, not a gsm modem! Don't do it.
haha thanks man , i was in a depressed rage there for a second and decided not to flash at the last second. Out of curiosity , are there EVER any modem.bins that leak out , or is this the type of situation where if i happen to get one it would be the first time ever? I mean if i wait is this thing one day going to appear , or is it pretty much just not going to happen .... give it to me straight .. i can take it ...
Unless someone gets brave, its not gonna happen. Unfortunately our GSM brethren have more balls and hence, leaks.
Sent from my SCH-I500 using XDA App
jesus.... well the bounty still stands haha . If you guys find a cdma that MIGHT work let me know . Guess im going to hop on craigslist and buy another. So i suppose if you guys ever need a testing device , im available! haha
Why can't you call samsung and send it back to have it reflashed?
I don't see a reason why they can't do this for you... i could be wrong and this is just an idea.
Ps this is why you get insurance silly!
Good luck with everything =)

[Q] Mess up the Xperia Arc software that are boot loader locked!!

Can anyone please help us on messing up the xperia arc badly with the software so that we can get a new replacement with an unlocked boot loader ???
Thanks
Don't think that will work. If you are talking about claiming on insurance. They will just flash old phone with new software. I recently posted on the hope I would get a new. Phone. But mine is a genuine claim.... if. Its repairable they will simply repair it as the may or may not do with my phone
Sent from my HTC Hero using Tapatalk
Also this should not be in development section. It should be moved....or deleated
Sent from my HTC Hero using Tapatalk
Ok it is possible for USA people cause the unlocked bl version of the arc released a month back and at this point if we are able to mess the software that won't be repairable, we may actually get the newer one !!! Pretty sure about that

[Bounty] Adamoutler Unlock bootloader

Sorry for Confusion. Bounty Fully met. Thanks anonymous donator.
#update1 Adam pulled files from me yesterday he said he wanted to try something. Also he has ordered his device.
#update2 Adam's work can be followed on this page.
So, the man is not only being offered $1400 for his skills if he can pull this off, but also being handed the device to do it? Sounds like win/win. Count me in when I get home. Chipin is failing on my phone.

If i get any money from this, I'll put it to good use. XDA could use some funding for T-Shirts and other promotial items to give away at the Big Android BBQ and I'm sure there are other good causes. I'm speaking at the Big Android BBQ so that's the first thing that comes to mind. Regardless, you can expect it go go to a good cause.

That's an amazing gesture. Something a lot could not say. Don't misinterpret what I was saying, though. I was never accusing you of being in it for the money, just saying that it was some great motivation. You're an outstanding member of the community and guys like you are the reason I'm proud to be here.

[ADVICE] Just for x8 users

I think most of users don't know about this.
If u have hard bricked your x8,
Don't worry, you can revive it back.
You can do it via a J-tag box.
(Not by your self)
Many users think if got hard bricked, phone should be in a trash. Now you have a hope. Just find a guy who can manipulate J-tag box.
Thank you! Good luck!
And the other thread was reported.

Yup. 3 threads in all. Do you have experience with jtag boxes? If you, please post a guide. if you don't, maybe post a link with a guide.
I'm sure it would help a lot of users with bricked phones and without warranty.

The problem is to find the jtag and someone to help you...
Btw in my country its a little difficult,so may its better to buy a new phone rather than spent money to revive the x8
