Dear all,
My W8i doesn't boot up, no vibrate, no working key for flash mode, no charging.
I think it was error bootloader.
Anybody can help me now!
Thanks

Here ya go!
I think that you have hard bricked your phone if you were trying to unlock bootloader and if you have there is no way to recover your phone. You will have to send it to SE.

What are you talking about, no home method can fix a hard bricked X8/W8. You need to send it to Sony.

do you get any reaction when plugging the charger ? pulling the battery?
what does windows show if you usb connect it ? can you enter download mode ?
Nop there`s no reaction when i turn it off no vibration or nothing i cant enter download mode and there is also no reaction when i plug in the charger...so only thing that remains is taking too the lg guy`s? ;/
LOL sounds like mine when i bricked it :d it took like 2 weeks to fix it lazy ppl.... after i got it back i did a factory reset and kdz worked
k im gonna bring it too them tomorrow. Like i just say i was updating too the latest 2.1 version and it was like that afterward?! But if they ask me like for where did i update it and how? I dont actualy know how you update it originaly. lol

there is an program by LG called mobile updater (i think).
You installed the LG drivers and started updating. after the finished progress it didn't work anymore
EDIT:

k Thanks <3.
Does anyone know a website for official repair centres or locations in the Uk?
Also...I think I have a super hard brick as my phone is not responding to anything, PC can't detect it. Does that mean Sunsung won't know if I have flashed a custom rom and how many times?
Is it possible to revive via a USB jig and how?
Thanks.

Guess its possible if the connection drops in the middle of an installation and you`re stuck when the download might not be complete or corrupt, especialy when going from GB to ICS.

Didn't you bricked because you install your custom rom? That's what you said in the dev forum

Here http://www.samsung.com/uk/support/repair/supportRepairSelfTracking.do?page=REPAIR.TRACKING
First register if you don't already have an account and request for repair. You will have the option to take it to a repair centre near you or send it to them for repair. I bricked mine when i flashed ICS, Binary count was zero but i had CMW installed. My phone was repaired free with no issues. I would advise you to just send it to them if your binary count has not increased. You will need to wait 2 weeks for repair though.
I was referring to the story I will tell Carphone Warehouse and Sunsung, I can't exactly go and tell then I flashed a custom rom that I made, they'll probably try and con me for begin so stupid for what I did.

Thanks for the advice, i've been flashing for ages now and never a problem, this is the first time I have ever bricked.
Btw...will they know my binary count with a hard brick?
I'm going to make a trip to Maplins tomorrow to buy a resistor and a connector to make a quick USB JIG before I send it off, sending it off is a last resort.
Pm me if you need any help sending it off and I will see what I can with regards a repair.

I had a superbrick, where the phone wouldn't even switch on (Also my first brick even though i've been doing it for years). So I couldn't reset any binary counters or restore any firmware to hide what i'd done. It was as it was, and I sent it off to Samsung and they replaced the motherboard FOC for me
USB JIG was no use. You may as well make yourself a JIG for future reference, but I think in this instance, it might be a waste of time.
All I said was, that I restarted the phone and after that it wouldn't switch on again - That was it. They replaced the motherboard for me

I doubt they will know if the phone does not turn on at all but if you can get to download mode so can they. And they will know your binary count from there. I have also been flashing for ages and this is my first time as well bricking a phone. It doesn't feel good at all.
I've went through the service centre and it needs to be sent off to Glasgow in Scotland, is it not possible to deliver it to a closer repair centre?

I hopefully will get my Note back before Friday ...can't wait!
Hei guys!
I first got a U8800, but there was a voltage problem with the phone and I had to return it. The store's authorized service center sent me a U8800Pro in return. The phone is shipped with Build number: U8800PV100R001C00B042, and I've never seen a ROM from Huawei listet with B042.
The problem is that I can't upgrade from Android 2.2.2 to the offical ROMs from Huawei. It just says "update failed" and a yellow warning triangle appears on the screen.
The 2.2.2 doesn't really work with my phone. Wi-fi and general performance is laggy and slow. Well, wi-fi doesn't work at all (needs 10 mins to download a 600KB file :S, but 3G works well thought").
I've been in contact with the service center but they don't really know what to do. They sent me a guide to unlock the bootloader but fastboot on the PC won't recognize the phone when in pink screen or boot loader screen. There is no "power" option in the "Settings"-menu so can't disable the fastboot option there.
I've searched every forum possible and I've got the proper USB-drivers etc etc etc
Does anybody know what to do?
Cheers
Aleksander
Send it back in maby? If something doesn't work you should be able to get a new one again if they can't fix it.

I had the same thought myself, but I don't think the phone is broken. Had to wait four months to get the U8800pro-replacement-phone so I'm postponing it for as long as I can.
Has anyone heard of the B042 ROM or at least how I can use fastboot to unlock it?
If you can't update it I'd say that's broken for me, especially if they don't know how to fix it either. And shouldn't you be able to complain on getting back another phone model than you sent in?
About the other stuff I have no idea, sorry.

I don't now if this is your case but it is nesesery upgrade first to gingerbread official 2.3 and then to ics.
Can you sent me this guide stuff or upload here?

I know you have to upgrade to 2.3 before 4.0, but the phone won't allow me to upgrade to 2.3, or any other ROM for that sake. Thanks though

Well, I did hard brick my Galaxy Grand 2. For my hard brick cause, is when I flash Gennxt kitkat superior on my Rooted JB Grand 2.
After I installed it, there is no bootanimation. Instead of blank screen with vibration and then reboots again.
So my problem was Hard bricked and bootloop.
I send my phone to Samsung service center in Indonesia. After the reparation is done, there is a slip.
They say that the circuit board needs to replaced and reinstall stock fw.
And my phone reparation was free! :victory::laugh:
But the good thing is the Technician didn't notice that I already voided my warranty.
Because of the hard brick making me saving money for $75 or $100! Lucky me!

Error when flashing upgrade? Do you mean THIS screen?
Firmware update encountered an issue.
Please flash it again using Kies, or something like that?
That is a soft bricked, my friend. The problem can be fixed by reinstalling Stock firmware.

If you are not able to go to download mode or recovery mode, even the service center will not be able to say that the warranty is void. so if your phone is under warranty, take it to the service center and tell them PC conked off while updating thru kies.
Please click on thanks if you think I helped
