[XPERIA X8 General] :
You're absolutely right, alfsamsung. The microcode of the CPU is hardwired, so a overclock can't delete anything from there.

If a overclock goes wrong it would cause physical damages, but in that case the device would actually be 0xdeadbeef (as in hardware ceased to function because, for example, the silicon of the CPU overheated therefore damaged itself).

This, however, can't be the case here. Bravia4X8 said more than once that the phone boots up to the SE logo screen... so there's something wrong at bootstrapping the ROM in the NAND. The init of the bootloader and kernel seems to have went fine, otherwise he wouldn't have gotten that far at all.

That being said, let's try to get a list of steps together ...

The question I'd like to solve first: I never used a custom kernel, so I don't know for sure - does Alfs' kernel show the white SE logo or should it show a customized one? (alfsamsung?)

The next question would be ...

Since ClockworkMod recovery comes as a part of the kernel ... when you, Bravia4X8, keep on tapping onto the screen once the white SE logo appears does it jump into CWM? I don't see any good reason why it shouldn't as the kernel clearly fully initialized.

If it doesn't get into CWM for whatever reason we don't understand yet ...

Let's try to get a flash mode connection working (and follow the steps to the letter now!).

- TURN OFF the phone

- Take out the battery (just to make sure) and wait a minute before re-inserting. After you re-inserted the battery you keep the phone TURNED OFF!

- Plug the Micro-USB connector into JUST your phone (make sure the large USB Connector is NOT connected to your computer)

- Boot up your computer

- Start S1tool (just so we have a simple program which can read the phone in flash mode)

- PRESS THE BACK BUTTON and KEEP IT PRESSED while you connect the USB connector to your computer.

- If your Windows installation isn't borked to hell and back Windows should now either...

1. ...recognize the "SEMC Flash Device" (you still keep the back button pressed?) and make S1tool find the device and give the output we're looking for.

2. ...be shocked that a new device got connected and actually start to install the "SEMC Flash Device" driver (you still keep the back button pressed?). Once that's done S1tool should pick up the phone and cough up the output.

In other words ... you do NOT release the back button until S1tool starts to talk.

If that went through (read: we finally got some output from the phone) we may take the next step ... for now the only thing we want to happen is to either get a sign of life from CWM or the Flash Mode connection.

EDIT: Depending on the outcome ...

If you managed to get into CWM add a post confirming that it worked.

If you managed to get a flash mode connection going post the output of s1tool just for verfication of your boot loader status.

@ alfsamsung and B.Jay

my friend checked my phone again and he found there is no fault in hardware and the repairer was telling a lie to earn more money.

Yes I got details about the ARM cpu. Rewrite and delete program is not possible in it.

And also all these electronic components are made of semiconductor chips so my CPU should be burnt. But its not.

Conc: My device is Safe. No problem not even software.

Actually problem was due to Viruses & Trojans on my PC and server.

Viruses currupt some driver files on my PC (while installation) so it is not recognised.

Same problem on my another PC.

Even viruses affected the kernels also (I don't know how). when I checked

Alfs was 6.73Mb instead of 7.44Mb

Stock was 6.28Mb instead of 6Mb

But flash Tool was working on it. That is why I was able to Flash the kernels but due to viruses there was some interruption in it. So kernel was not fully loaded on my phone even Flashtool showed it installation Complete

Finally I formatted My PC and reinstalled windows Again downloaded Flashtool, Kernels, PC companions.

Now It detects my device. And I again Flashed Alfs Kernel(recently downloaded)

But recovery not accessible.

So I flased back the Stock kernel(re downloaded). And Repaired it Via PC companion.

Its working Now.

Thanks Guys

.
[XPERIA X8 General] :
Well, why did I have this feeling in my guts that Windows could be pwned?

Anyway, good you sorted it out - maybe you learned the lesson that having a Virus Scanner installed (and be it Microsoft Security Essentials - which is better than its reputation) is important.
[XPERIA X8 General] Bravia4X8:
Yes I have installed Micrisoft Security Essential,.
[XPERIA X8 General] BuT_TeR:
Mission Accomplished :) ..... Bricked phone back in action .. and daddy know nothing ... :P
[XPERIA X8 General] mpoendi:
Hey hey... I have experience this before...

1st. I used PCC. Do not attach your phone yet, click on repair phone. Did you have do that. Choose your x8. Then follow next instruction.

Or.

2nd, flash custom kernel (mine using alfs v6) and turn on, press back button to go to cwm recovery, flash another ROM that support alfs kernel. (mine using Gingercruzt 8.2)

Notice : Xgin ROM only works with Xrecovery not CWM or it will give you bootloop.

[XPERIA X8 General] Muhd Syazwan:
my phone wont turn on...help me..there is no such se logo appear

sorry for bad english
[XPERIA X8 General] 2010matej:
1. Install gordon's gate (driver for x8)

2. Take battery out, coonect usb cable from x8 to pc, hold back button <-- and insert battery. Than you will see green led light and your phone is connected.

3. PC is installing your drivers soo do not stop connect with PC.

4. Then use Update Service or PC Companion and install 2.1 update and your phone will be like new.
[XPERIA X8 General] KASHYAP9:
Use the instructions given by B.Jay and alfsamsung in this thread. This will help you.
[XPERIA X8 General] Muhd Syazwan:
it needs led light to green to works i think??
[XPERIA X8 General] KASHYAP9:
@Muhd Syazwan Will you please explain

1. what happened to your phone and how ?

2. Bootloader unlocked or not ?

3. Using what rom or kernel ?

4. Have you used Flashtool or PC companion ?
[XPERIA X8 General] MemoryController:
Uninstall pc companion, it's rubbish and meddles with flashing process.
[XPERIA X8 General] Muhd Syazwan:
actually not my phone...its my friend....i bricked it when use msm7227_semc finished..then i turn it off...when i turn it on it not works...i think the phone is died...

minicm 2.3.5

stock kernel
[XPERIA X8 General] Bravia4X8:
No man, while using msm7227_semc.cmd you must be on stock 2.1 Rom otherwise it will be unsuccessfful.
[XPERIA X8 General] Muhd Syazwan:
noo..i did it to my own phone...its works
[XPERIA X8 General] :
@Muhd Syazwan

Well, the symptom you describe (does NOT power on - NO LED - NO Screen Output - nothing) means just one thing --- HARD BRICK DUE TO BOOT LOADER UNLOCK AND NOT DOING YOUR HOMEWORK BEFOREHAND!

Since it's too late now anyway ...

Take your friend's phone and take out the battery.

Look at the sticker below.

WHAT is the date code?

IF the date code is ABOVE 11W29 (11W29, 11W30, 11W31, ...) the phone IS dead. You can't do anything now to revive the phone yourself. You need to send the phone to SE's service or find a repair shop being able to revive hard bricked X8's through JTAG or Qualcomm Resurrection cable methods.

EDIT: And once you guys got the repaired phone back you do NOT attempt to unlock the boot loader as - to repeat it for the trillionth time - device of 11W29 and newer CAN NOT BE BOOT LOADER UNLOCKED DUE TO A REVISED CHIPSET. While the unlock will obviously go through fine the phone is dead at the moment you unlocked.
[XPERIA X8 General] Muhd Syazwan:
but my phone 11w35...

is they anything happen when my friend press home key to flash kernel not back key
[XPERIA X8 General] LtHuNTer_StepheN:
for home user can use testpoint :)

here much detail about 11W29 and above phone

x8 security hole has been fixed (w8 too)

if u unlock bootloader it will semi-permanent brick

it still can be fixed by JTAG and testpoint

Newer chipset cannot be unlocked​

Why do you guys need screenshots?...weird. can't you see its literally cm7 with one theme tweak?

[Atrix 4G Android Development] morrislee:
Basically cm7 with 4G icon ;)
[Atrix 4G Android Development] xhazk:
For what its worth, removing a standard bootanimation wont speed up bootup at all, and I've yet to see any proof that increasing dalvik heap beyond 80 has any quantifiable positive impact (in fact most would agree 64 is the golden point). In fact, you may experience negative impact.
[Atrix 4G Android Development] morrislee:
It does a little bit, under my tests, the stock bootanimation is quite large (almost 2MB and the empty one i have here is only less than 4KB), it needs to load and play that.

Increasing heap is just placebo, everything is smooth for me
[Atrix 4G Android Development] morrislee:
Would people prefer Launcher Pro or ADW Launcher? I prefer Launcher Pro, thinking about making it as the default. what do you guys think?
[Atrix 4G Android Development] lesterp:
I find Launcher Pro to be the fastest launcher with CM7. I used to use go launcher ex and have repeatedly given it more chances but it has become so bloated and it is noticeably slower than LP. Also used ADW for a bit, but always come back to LP for its blistering speed (currently with weekly #5 and faux's 1.3 kernal...).
[Atrix 4G Android Development] morrislee:
You sound exactly like me! However, have you tried ADW Launcher EX? it is more optimized and uses hardware acceleration on the ICS ROMS - I caught myself a copy during the $0.10 sale google had during the holidays. Still came back to Launcher Pro lol
[Atrix 4G Android Development] morrislee:
Another issue is that Launcher Pro seems to seize advancement, I think it is abandoned?
[Atrix 4G Android Development] ReynaldoH:
I use ADW launcher EX, can't seem to get used to another one.

Loving the ROM, however there's only one issue I'm having, sometimes the status bar gets stuck when dismissing notifications individually; tried to remove one by sweeping it to the side and it just sticks midway through, after that the statusbar buttons and of course notifications don't work. It has happened twice already.
[Atrix 4G Android Development] schwann:
Launcher pro is way better than adw even if its hasn't been updated. So smooth. He occassiobally updates. I don't know why people love go launcher so much. What a childish launcher.

Sent from my unlocked Motorola Atrix.
[Atrix 4G Android Development] morrislee:
Not sure, does always do that when you dismiss one by one? I don't usually do that but I will have to test it. Probably CM7.2 issue?

Last time it was updated was in May of 2011..... long time ago
[Atrix 4G Android Development] morrislee:
By the way, a few pages back
[Atrix 4G Android Development] morrislee:
Oh... i forgot =D

dumpsys alarm > /mnt/sdcard/AlarmDump.txt

Then it should be at the root of the sdcard :)
[Atrix 4G Android Development] Wond3r:
Just something that crossed my mind that I thought was funny..

This rom is a mod, of a mod (Neutrino), of a mod (atrix weekly), of a mod (cm7), of a mod (Android GB)

:P

Keep up the good work morris!
[Atrix 4G Android Development] Razorless:
What about SuperCharging? It says "fully automated...", but my launchers (launcher pro and Go Launcher) seem quite sluggish.

And minfrees are also not what they should be

Edit:

Ok, Live Wallpaper caused the lag, but still, what about minfrees?
[Atrix 4G Android Development] morrislee:
The lag is not that bad.... but yeah, i thought supercharger only had to be ran once from my original understanding. It will be fixed in 0.6 or if I have time, a small patch.
[Atrix 4G Android Development] pcph:
My gallery is cropping pictures. When showing a picture, it crops the bottom right and bottom of the picture. If I zoom in once with the zoom button, the full picture is shown. But then I can't swipe left/right to go to the next picture. The full picture also appears if I pinch zoom in or out. The easiest way to see is it to pick a picture from the gallery, then zoom it out slightly until the image changes to show the full picture. I've used CM7 before but never noticed that bug. Am I the only one?
[Atrix 4G Android Development] morrislee:
I am aware of this issue, i believe the issue is inherited from the weekly, not neutrino or the camera mod specific.

Testing my next patch that fixes supercharger and flash player
[Atrix 4G Android Development] knlgSeeker:
also, i've noticed that changing the resolution when recording video is not taking effect, at least not for me. i did a test by recording a 5s vid, first in HD, then Low, the resulting file size was 10126KB, 10235KB respectively
[Atrix 4G Android Development] morrislee:
Could be a reflection of the camera mod, I have to look into it, or PM euplio.

Nice signature, good to see someone actually use my ROM name in their signature!

patch 2 for 0.5 coming soon. includes flash fix and corrected supercharger
[Atrix 4G Android Development] knlgSeeker:
no big rush.. just figured i'd let you know. and thanks to you for the great work, i'm looking forward to your future releases, the flash fix is a great start!
[Atrix 4G Android Development] Razorless:
When I use a ringtone that did not come preinstalled, the phone does not repeat it. It just plays one time and stops. Preinstalled ringtones repeat just fine
[Atrix 4G Android Development] morrislee:
Problem noted, I will look into it.
[Atrix 4G Android Development] Notorious544d:
This is a Neutrino issue also. Not sure if it is an issue on CM7 but I think certain lines in the build.prop may be doing this.

No guarantees though.
[Atrix 4G Android Development] morrislee:
Tried editing couple of lines, still no change. Sticking to system ringtones for now. I dont use ringtones anyway.

patch V2 for V0.5, fixes flash and supercharger is here(includes fixes from first patch), let me know how it works out for you
[Atrix 4G Android Development] knlgSeeker:
i applied this patch, and i'm still experiencing the flash issue. is there any additional steps i should do? the screenshot is from dolphin hd browser
[Atrix 4G Android Development] morrislee:
It is only a partial fix. And you should run flash once, for the browser to cache the plugin settings and reboot. Reboot will try and locate all the flash plugin and fix them. This does not fix full screen though. If you have further problems, try installing chainfire 3d driver

I am looking into CM9 now, it is almost complete. Morrisoft Gen might get deprecated soon.
[Atrix 4G Android Development] aaki_rocker:
do the files from internal emmc appear in the gallery !!

and does camera work without an external memory card !!

i found these two things not working in neutrino v2.2 ee rom !!

also does 1080p video recording work ??

pls reply !!

thanks .....
[Atrix 4G Android Development] morrislee:
If you use the internel card only, you must make sure "Use internel storage" under application settings in Cyanogenmod settings is ticked.

You can only see on or the other, it is a limitation to how the gallery app or any media app is indexed in CM7. It is differently handled in blur ROMs as the gallery and media apps are built to be aware of both mount points

1080p works for me :)
[Atrix 4G Android Development] aaki_rocker:
thanks for the explanation ! :) !

will try this rom out ! :D !!

[Atrix 4G Android Development] Uhuhu:
Not sure when 0.6 will come out.. But, I wish to point out that if I unmount my SD Card and remove it from the Atrix while it's still on than the system freezes and I have to remove the battery to enter it again (black screen). I have configured it to use the internal memory as a primary memory (sdcard) and the external as emmc.
[Atrix 4G Android Development] morrislee:
Does this happen to other CM7 builds? If you use Neutrino 2.5, does it do the same thing?

0.6 is coming soon, but I don't think it has any changes regarding this issue in CM7 branches.
[Atrix 4G Android Development] morrislee:
Running into couple of issues for 0.6.... it might not come as early as expected. I have a few assignments to finish off and midterm in a couple of days. Point is, I ran out of my free time for builds
[Atrix 4G Android Development] cy-rock:
Theres no rush ...Good luck for your exams.
[Atrix 4G Android Development] Uhuhu:
Thanks for replying..

About that, I'm not sure.. Tried to use 2.2+ but I got so many FCs and Widget issues that I jumped ship and started using Morrisoft, so I can't say about Neutrino..

Anyway, that's easy to test.. Grab a micro sd card, with the phone turned on, insert it.. It will crash/lock the phone with a black screen and just a battery pull to turn it off/on again.

Before Morrisoft I was using "Aura" and "Home Base" as a daily driver.. Both didn't have this issue.
[Atrix 4G Android Development] JACOPENE:
great rom. thanks morris for your time.
[Atrix 4G Android Development] morrislee:
I put off my daily gaming time and it is baked and ready on the way to the clouds

V0.6 includes:

Code Name: Advocation

Based on new Neutrino 2.5 (which is based on weekly 2012-02-20)

New Battery % icons, bigger texts

Flash video fix scripts runs on reboot

Automated supercharger fixed

Bluesleep should be fixed on top of the original ROM fix (I don't use bluetooth much, so please test this for me)

Removed live wallpaper (seems to cause lag on LauncherPro a lot)

New cleaner looking default wallpaper

Scrolling Cache could not be disabled (black screen if it is disabled), I will provide a patch when I find out how

Fixed Location & Security from Neutrino

Full Wipe is very much recommended on this build
[Atrix 4G Android Development] morrislee:
All uploaded, download away!

backup! and Factory restore in CWM BEFORE install, no battery pull necessary, it will reboot itself on the first preinstall.
[Atrix 4G Android Development] Notorious544d:
I noticed in the changelog:

'Fixed Location and Secutrity from Neutrino,'

Did you actually fix it or did it just work on yours lol.

I don't think anybody who actually followed instructions in my thread (people flashed incompatible addons :rolleyes:) actually had this problem, but it'll be interesting to see if and how you fixed it.

Anyway, good luck with V0.6. :)
[Atrix 4G Android Development] JACOPENE:
I am dl now, I will report later, on my way to work. I have been on v5 for a day and its perfect for me. Thanks again.
[Atrix 4G Android Development] morrislee:
Not sure what i did but i went through like 5 builds some how this one worked haha
[Atrix 4G Android Development] MyronJ906:
Location and Security worked fine for me in the latest Neutrino anyways. I didn't install any mods other than Gapps/GPS Mod if that helps anyone.

In other news, getting much better battery in Morrisoft Gen 0.6 than I was in Neutrino 2.5, I guess all of the drain stuff is actually fixed.
[Atrix 4G Android Development] morrislee:
Are you using bluetooth? Did you calibrate your battery?? hasn't been long since my 0.6 release...
