[Q] Facing Bootloader Problem - Hardware Hacking General

Hey ,
I have Sony Ericsson Xperia X8 was using GingerDX v29 2.3.7.
Couple days ago , I was thinking of my selling my smart phone so formatted my smartphone ( factory and SD card ). Later changed my mind and reinstalled and start using again . I reinstalled few apps i.e. Dolphin Browser , Hide-Man VPN etc. I was facing problem from both (Browser crashing and no connection respectively), tried everything but of no use . Few hours ago , I tried to upgrade to newer version i.e. v31 released date 08/03/2013 but now its stuck on Sony Ericsson screen. I tried restarting by pulling out the battery , connected with SEUS ( it was just showing green LED light only ) but nothing happened.
Please help me in this regard, as I am frustrated with all this . :'(
Thanks

Did you flash anything prior to the event. It might be that somehow you messed up your ROM. I'd suggest flashing a different one to see if it works. Tell me if it does and good luck

I think there is a problem while updating your device...
Try downloading the newest firmware (.ftf format) and flash it using Flashtool.
Google Flashtool and there you go.

[HELP] X8 minicm6 1.0.0 relesead go haywire

Hi,
I hav just flashed my x8 with minicm6 1.0.0 for x8.
everything works fines and its an awesome ROM.
however, i m not sure wat i have done (to the busybox version update or network connection thingy), after one reboot due to unstable WIFI connection, the phone just could not boot into the system.
it shows the unlock phone main screen with no network service. when i unlock the phone, it appears some error messages like "The process android.process.acore has stopped unexpectedly. please try again", "The process com.android.phone has stopped unexpectedly", after force close a few times or leave it alone, it will restart with appearing only the cyanogen logo and repeat the same problem.
i tried to remove the battery and restart to attempt to boot into xrecovery but failed... it will proceed with loading the minicm6 rom and repeat the same error.
HELP.. i dono wat else can i do now..
If you search this forum you can find answer quickly. Look here:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?p=12442257#post12442257
Never update Busybox!!!
thanks bro.. now only i realized that it was an fatal error i have done.. @@
now i m downloading the firmware.. will try to flash it back.. then redo the whole custom ROM process.. is this the only way?
thanks for the link yea.. it helps a lot..
Yes it is only way I think
once u got it all running the way u want it go to xrecovery, wipe all the caches, then create a backup and store the folder somewhere safe preferably outside ur phone. do not rename the folder it may mess up the checksum
alrite.. thanks..
i have done everything.. reflash the whole phone with the firmware... bla bla bla..
now restoring the data i had.. going to do a total backup after everthing comes back~
thanks a lot.. i m still using minicm6 v1 now.. so far.. only some brightness issue.. others still testing.. bravo
The rom inly problem for me just reboot when install some games..other than that it was good
I found a problem in this rom.... With the X8 connected to the PC just to charge (no SD card mounted) and if i go play angry birds the phone wil reboot, tryed inumerous times and rebooted every time. Appens just to me?
http://www.mediafire.com/?lz6gwgohuakvbfo
Use this xRecovery and busybox included.
@extreminator: don't play angry birds when chargning
I have met this problem since 2 weeks ago when tried to install older cm mod.
And now, it came back when I really want to test c by ratch,or cm6.1 realease :-(
The way I tried to install :
- flash phone with seus
- root phone and install xrecovery (even with the file was posted above)
- factory reset (although wipe dalvik cache,wipe battery stats,step by step)
- Reboot phone...
Then have a trouble with fc :'(
Is there any body can show me if I did something wrong in process ? How can I fix it ?
Many thanks for all kind people here, and sorry for my bad English

Non -OC roms are those in which your CPU is not overclocked. (e,g. Kyrillos_'_rom_v6.0_NON-OC-fixed)

4- Using SE PCC to repair ..... No luck with any
5- With flash tool I flashed this: (X8 Shakira E15i_2.1.1.A.0.6_generic.ftf) then used SEUS to repair and it updated my phone but nothing happened

PLEASE Dev's some body help me
I'm really Sorry but I Need my phone back to work as it was
And I'll not play with Custom ROMs again NEVER EVER
THANKS IN ADVANCE
If your phone is new, then flash back original firm (2.1), then take it back to the store you bought it. It's maybe NOT a problem about custom Roms, but a hardware issue. So of you take back like its original and so, they'll inspect it for free (guarantee).

Unfortunately, it seems like real big problem !!!
I mean after all what I did still the same
1- now wifi, (and bluetooth now), BT cannot be turned ON at all, and wifi give "Unable to search ... " and give popup to force close dialog then whatever I Did the phone will reset
2- when turn wifi on cannot turn it off again ever
3- when accessing the Wireless settings, the phone freeze then (ask to force close or just restart).
4- when trying to enable debug mode also freeze but for sure it will restart.
5- tried to reinstall many custom roms (GB v0.23b, GDX 0.13, GDX 0.17[again]) then return to 2.1 USING SEUS again to restore original 2.1 BUT ALL NOT WORKS
(I shouldn't play with custom roms, now i realized that is 2.1 was good enough to me )
and I forgot to tell I got no guarantee on HARDWARE
it seems that my phone gone
anyway, really, thanks a lot 4 asking and helping guys!
hope me goodluck
Good News (maybe)
today I installed Hachdroid froyo 0.25
and turned on the wifi ..... it worked ............. yes, and the started searching for Networks .... and found one
Here when I tried to connect it after entering the PW every thing OK (Thanks GOD )
last thing saved with the PW Now when push Connect the phone freezes the ask to force close the wifi settings.
so it's not hardware problem ... right?
After spending about 4-5 days/nights by searching about this stupid problem
I got better Idea about what the hell happens.
1- this problem happened to many many guys with android OS.
(Just Google "Unable to start/search wifi android" and count....... damn)
2- the bad news almost 95% of people whom got this sh*t couldn't solve the prb.
(the other "5%" had luck by the grantee and replaced the phone or simply forgot that there phones got WIFI ).
As I understood that this problem is DRIVER ISSUES
Hi, I installed GingerDX v17 2 days back into my Xperia X8i. This ROM is working fantastic and with all function. One problem I found that my phone can not connect with Adhoc Wifi connection with my laptop. When I try to connect the cell tries for 5 to 8 mins and reboots automatically. But with my Wifi router it has no problem. Can some one help me?

I can’t get WiFi to work. Activating it in settings and it’s activated for around 10 sec then it is closing down (the green “check” is there for around 10 sec).
I can’t scan for WiFi networks. No networks is showen.
I use stock kernel and DingerDX V017 release. Other things works grate! Thanks!
as you can see in my thread I tried every thing I could do... but nothing works
finally, the last tow reasons that cuzed this :
1- Hardware prb but wifi works sometimes (maybe after 5days without phone usage if you tried WIFI it will works for about 15Min)
2- it's driver prob in terminal type: "ifconfig tiwlan0" it should give some lines or just said "no such device".
but no one found any solution for this
Just try google "unable to start Wi-Fi Android" you'll understand what I'm saying. Damn
i Read the whole Thread ..
Dude i really know how this thing feels ..
Yes i know it's painful :/ !
If there's no other way 2 Fix it at home
u just have 2 give it to some1 who can actually Fix it ..

it doesn't matter how much the amount of money u're gonna pay..
u just save your phone

better option is to unroot your phone first and then go and consult your nearby samsung customer gallery
yeah the problem seems to be your hardware....remember to have your custom bin count to '0' before taking it to samsung..........
hey make sure that u r running on stock rom before unrooting the device and taking it to service center if its in warranty period..

[ Help ] Blue screen Error , Samsung grand 2 (4.4.2)

Hello Friend Recently I update my grand 2 to official android 4.4.2 Firmware , And The problem is that Sometimes It restarts automatically after showing BLUE SCREEN . Can anyone facing this problem ...?? Can anyone please Help me to Solve this Problem ..???
hey, let me help you.
what was the situation when this wierd thing happened?
eg. were you playing game?
or surfing internet. or any other..
was your phone rooted?
did you installed xposed framework?
(i've seen most blue screens in Xposed)
if you have installed xposed framework then either remove recently installed modules or completely remove xopsed framework.
and if your phone hasnt been rooted, and you are facing blue screen problems, i think you havent factory reseted your phone, so perform factory reset and wipe cache frome recovery..
hope this helps.
Hey Vrushabh thanls a lot for your time , This happens only sometimes like once in a week.
I had rooted my phone earlier but after this crash i formally uprooted my phone and from last 4 days it has no problem .... THANKS AGAIN BRO.
Now my question is that , what was the reason behind this type of blue screen error...?
I have the same problem with my Grand 2. It automatically got an official update 4.4.2 and since then whenever I use it for a while specially on facebook, the cell gets restarted after giving a blue screen. I have made the factory data reset and since then its a bit improved but the problem still not gone altogether. Please if you can give any solution?

Hi all,
I also encountered the blue screen and restart error. This happens randomly like using Whatsapp, 9gag or Facebook. It also restarts for no reason at all.
The phone is not rooted by the way. I tried running it on safe mode and nothing happened. After normally booting it, it crashed twice. First with a blue screen and the second was an automatic restart.
Thanks

I think this happens because some times Apps are trying to write something on prohibited areas of system , and that's why OS restarts Itself to prevent data looses .
Are the people having this problem on SM-7102 and perhaps the phone bought/CSC from India?
