How to Brick it for Upgrade

Is there way that I can brick my phone to get Android 2.1 on it. I guess Sony is not going to come up with 2.1 for people who already got the phone.

What? None of that makes sense at all. You're not gonna get a free upgrade if you screw up your phone, and why do you think SE wont release an OTA upgrade for 2.1?

In all fairness this is the most ridiculous thing I have seen on this forum for ages. Why sony would not give the update to pepole who have the phone but would give it to those who bricked their one?
But, if you want to brick your x10 I recommend trying to delete all the files from the phone (not the card) or maybe just trying to install some erroneous application or maybe trying to flash the soft with some files changed in SEUS?

2.X
An upgrade to 2.x will come. Let say 2.1. 2.3 are released and SE won’t upgrade to 2.3. Is there any way to skip SE and upgrade to a clean Android OS when it come from Goggle, 2.1-> 2.2 ->2.3-> O.S.V instead?

wait till it's rooted, after the root you can use your own custom roms

i dont' want no "clean" roms, i don't want to miss the sony apps.
as soon it is rooted you'll also see custom roms that still have MS, TS and he great cam-app.
BUT google is already working on stopping the fragmentation of android platform.
as long as sony provides a 2.2 rom it will be possible to get system upgrades thru the market.

if you really wana brick your phone, just drop it down the toilet.
has worked well for me with my old phones after nights out

I can tell you now that you should post ALL info from your fastboot screen.
Can you get into recovery?
What were you doing to cause your phone to do this?

He included a picture of his phone in fastboot, I think that would qualify as providing all his fastboot info.

This has been answered SO MANY TIMES now... like 5 times THIS week alone...
You don't even have to do a search... just look at the first 2 pages.. Come on!
I think you can fix this by only looking at the first 8 posts or so...

Jeez... another one?
Use fastboot to flash the recovery.
Reboot to recovery, flash stock (s-on) spl
Flash rom.

The 3 phenoms back to back to back. I know he included a picture, but can't really see it.
BTW, I love being able to hook up two phones. When things get boring with one, the other is willing and ready.

I rooted my Magic before a few days ago, put some ROMs 2.1 update1 and everything is working correctly. When I tried to put any coocked
Froyo rom did not work. Then I threw in a last-ver.SPL 1.71 (it seems to me, but otherwise it was 6.35 ... working with SPL 1.6) Recovery mode is
changed and installation Froyo (Magician 6.1 I believe) was duly passed, but the problems emerging. Phone could not normally turned on and I could go into Recovery and fastboot. However the installation of any Rom was impossible. Radio has changed (I think it happened after the trial
Vodafone launch 2.2.1. ver.) at 2.22. I tried to go back to the SPL and 1.33 Since then I have more or Recovery Mode or Safe Mode. When you turn on
(my version of Magic is 32A) phone only appears HTC Magic no reaction on the computer when it shackles via USB. I guess what I was wrong (SPL's) but how it if possible to save?
P.S. Sorry for my bad english ...

[Q] Cannot upgrade to Froyo

Hello. I have recently bought a T-Mobile unlocked Galaxy S (Vibrant) from ebay and I am trying to upgrade it to 2.2 (it is 2.1 now) using Kies Mini but I get the message "Error upgrading phone." After looking on the internet, I found that you cannot upgrade the phone if you use it in another country (I bought the phone from a UK company through ebay and I live in Cyprus). I also saw that there is a registry hack to trick Kies mini to think that you are in a different country, but I don't know what values to put there. Can anyone help?
Thanks

Just try to root it and use a custom 2.2 rom. You will be much more satisfied.

I bought my Vibrant when i was in USA. Now i'm in France,i have a french sim and i'm using Kies Mini to update it.It worked even with KB1.

I bought unlocked T-Mobile USA Vibrant, live in Russia and upgrade it here, first time to J16, later to KA6 FROYO without any problem via Kies mini.

Is this the registry hack you are referring to?
http://www.reddit.com/r/Android/related/dsiiq/samsung_galaxy_s_upgraded_to_22_with_kies/
That should work for you since the author is in NZ and was able to get the kies upgrade. There's another article here on XDA for those that want to trick kies into download mode even though they are not running official roms:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=9140758&postcount=1
Be forewarned. Kies mini may still give you problems, it's a little buggy. Halfway through the upgrade process I got "Error upgrading phone" and this on my phone:

Pulled battery, same thing. Pulled battery again, put it back in, held both volume I was able to get into recovery mode and the upgrade resumed. That was fun..NOT!!!
Maybe you should take a look here on how to use Odin to flash the official froyo rom:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=849028
Good luck.
FYI a little googling goes a long way.

phrack, another method to get rid of that screen if your phone is already connected to your pc and your running heimdall is C:\<path-to-heimdall>\heimdall close-pc-screen
not only do i have adb set up in PATH, I have heimdall in PATH as well. I use it quite frequently with the zImages.

That's good to know..if you're running heimdall...
But I was running kies (just like the OP) so that wouldn't have helped me. I just found out about heimdall but since more people here use odin I would probably use that when I decide to flash since it would be easier to get help.

How are you trying to deploy it? With what tool?
/J

is Zune running?

I have similar problems too.
Official MS tool says "check your device is completely booted and connected to Zune", TOMXap says "check your device is unlocked and connected to Zune"...answer is yes to all questions, of course.
I tried to use interop-unlock too, no changes.
Any idea, besides a (painful) hard reset?

Phone motherboard is new, i read somewhere, this might be problem?
Edit: hard reset and now i can deploy.
Problem is, all apps won't work. I have root, but opera thinks phone is still locked...

Opera needs full root access. If you only give privileges by WP7 Root Tools to Opera - it doesn't start. Right now, only custom roms could handle it. LG doesn't have any custom roms, sorry.

May you screen shot the new kernel information?
I think there was no change in the kernel for this update.
Here is the OTA file.

Ok, the build number of the kernel (AUTO LOCAL VERSION) is the same as on base 1.61. So I assume the kernel didnt change. Good to know. Then my soon to be released kernel mod will be compatible with this update. (the local version is gea92418, same as on 1.61)

Ummm... the Indian spec version just got an update.. 1.62.707.4. Anybody on that?
But my kernel version is different.. @tbalden
Don't see much of a difference up to now, compared to the old 1.61 base.

If you plan on trying custom kernel, backup system and boot partitions, and install. My fair bet it will work just fine. If you might have any results good or bad let us know

Same here, I have just updated to 1.62.707.4
Feels a little smoother if anything.
Also I don't remember HTC Boom sound now has two modes in settings. Music/Theater
Anyone else have anything new?

Music and Theater was there since launch of M9+ on 1.08 too.

Can someone give me the update in img or zip format to install since it refuses to install coz my phone has root and twrp recovery
