Hi
Am helping my friend who for dunno what reason flashed his stock G1 singapore rom to US Tmobile stock rom. When he boots up it looking for T Mobile signal which of course there is non here in Singapore. I am unable to find his stock rom image as I am new to android myself. Can anyone help?

Depends on what your friend wants to do. Since Does he wants to root his G1 and get the custom ROM or, just going back to the original?

He actually wants to root n flash new roms but if get back stock is also ok

If you are going to root your friend phone and flash it with the custom ROM.
Follow the instruction in the link below:
How-to- Root, Hack, and Flashing your G1/Dream Read first!!

OK will try it out thanks

I want the new ICS rom, but where do I start?

How do I install it? I swear I've searched....I can't really find a thread that tells me how to unlock, install clockwork, and flash this rom. I've never had a problem finding this information with my old phone.
Any help would be appreciated.

This is a good start:

Try using your eyes. As I write this the top thread in the Arc dev area covers this.
If you can't glean the info you require from that, then maybe you should avoid beta software.

Can someone say what different partition tables actually means. Is this something permanent or will a flashing a stock ftf fix the partition tables again? I want to install on my arc and other have done it with success but SE says you shouldn't.
From SE dev site "You must be using Xperia™ arc S, Xperia™ neo V or Xperia™ ray, running the latest Xperia™ software release (which is 4.0.2.A.0.42). Please note that you can’t use the original Xperia™ arc or Xperia™ neo, as they have different partition layouts."

there maybe a reason se state that,if they say no thats mean no,if you ended brick your phone just dont blame se and dont ever thinking of getting in here,just wait for new release if i were you..

I don't get it either. Why is there not a thread that just tells you how to unlock, install clockwork, and flash roms?
All I see is stuff about fast boot and have no idea what that is.

Bro.... I use 2 day to walk trough most post at XDA Xperia Arc/s forum to learn how to unlock/root/flash/fastboot/recovery it mean u need to really look hard to get wat u want
So far i know
1. [Firmware] 4.0.2.A.0.62 unable to root so need to flash back 4.0.2.A.0.42
- use flashtool v0.6.7.0 & firmware 4.0.2.A.0.42
2.[Unlock] Follow this SONY OFFICIAL way to unlock ur phone http://unlockbootloader.sonymobile.com/
3.[Root] Use flashtool v0.6.7.0 just ONE CLICK wil do
4.[ROM] find ANY ROM at forum, they mostly will told u use which "Kernel" & also provided links (most of their modify Kernel should with a recovery function like clockwork)
- Im Using this arconium ICS v1
after fastboot Kernel into your phone then u can access recovery function at the boot of your phone, then u can flash main ROM from the recovery mode
5. if got any thing happen and make ur phone brick just do the whole step again

X8 stuck at sony ericsson logo, please help

Hi,
I've been running XGin 4 on my X8 for some time now with no issue at all and I recently decided I'd like a change so I had a look on the cyanogenmod website to get cm7.1 as referred by friend. I tried following one or two guides on how to install it and failed every time. I gave up and left it a few days. I turned my phone off last night for the first time since and now it can't get past the Sony Ericsson logo screen. I can't boot into xRecovery or anything so I've no idea what to do. I know most of you in here can probably help me and it would be greatly appreciated.
P.s. If it wasn't the attempted installs that killed my phone, it could have been a busybox updater that I downloaded from the market?

You can use seus or pcc if you can go into flash mode. In seus click repair and follow the steps.

Wassup bro
unfortunately, that your lovely x8 now is on soft-brick condition,,
no worry bro only the small matter..what do you have to do now is,,
1 = get a flash-tool, you have to flash back your x8 to stock rom,,
flashtool -> http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=986697
then you have to find out the shakira stock rom ftf file to flash back using flashtool
2 = SEUS, you try it before?? so easy,, let SEUS repair your x8 problem
after you finish all the step above,, the you have to root back your x8..
your x8 still on stock kernel?? unlock your bootloader??
fell free to visit this thread
-> http://forum.xda-developers.com/show....php?t=1436924
Have a Luck bro!

Thank you so much! That thread is a life-saver! And now I finally have CWM which I could never install properly before! Thank you!

[q]bricked x8..?

Hey guys, i Unplugged My X8 by mistake in b/w an update. .Now the Sony PC Companion Doesnt even Recognize My Device..?? Plz Help in serious Trouble..??

Not quite. Consider it a learning opportunity. Read this thread
forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=986697
Then further down along the development section of the forum, read about recovering from a "bricked" scenario back to a fully functional phone. Don't be scared of the "search" button. Or Google.
EDIT: You will have to download both the flashtool & a Stock firmware (preferably the Froyo ROM). You can get that from http://db.tt/oZZPbA43

You have unlocked bootloader?

you have : install 1.6 Stock ROM, an get the Original Code of your phone, that one you changed in build.prop to get the first time you flashed your phone for getting root and 2.1.a.0.6 ROM, (the code like 1234-0000) or something like that, you need the original one, then, edit the build.prop of the 1.6 rom installed on your phone, and put the original code, and connect your phone to PC Companion, so it'll update your phone to the 2.1 Orange Branded ROM

What is orange branded rom??

how about kernel?
