[Q] Bricked Samsung Galaxy W (GT-i8150)

I soft-bricked my galaxy and there's no way to fix it, help! Okay, this is a what happened, I installed a custom ROM which worked out perfectly well until one day all applications started force closing for apparently no reason so I reboot and got stuck in a boot loop. I can only access download mode, recovery is out of the question. I tried to flash back to stock with Odin and it "passed" but the screen was just blank. So, I removed the USB cable hoping it will work and it got stuck in another boot loop. I tried everything that I could have think of but nothing works. It seems that I'm not the only one and is common for Galaxy W devices. Please help!

Also, in the worst case how do I send it back to Samsung? I mean, I know how to but will they fix it?

dont worry , you can just flash it again. A new stock ROM would do. Its no problem.
We have a guide here on this forum. Check it out ^_^

I have tried that and it does not work.

Me too I got the same problem. But flashed a stock rom and everything 's working well except data network. Sending it to Samsung centre to fix. To brick it join the Galaxy W Malaysian users group on FB I'm sure you'll find the solution to brick

did you full wipe before flashing stock rom?
what stock gaming rom, it is full recovery?
you may can try:
- flashing again cwm using odin,
- if succesfull, boot to cwm, format data and cache, except system
- try reboot normally.
- if failed, format everything, except your sdcard,
- flashing stock rom using odin, (better use stock rom provided for your country), use original stock rom, not modified rom ! with size more than 350mb, its contain recovery, baseand and everything you need. of course your cwm will be replaced after. you can flash again cwm after your phone boot normally.
good luck.

Thanks really worked! ^

Hi! yesterday I tried to get cyanogenmod to my Samsung galaxy W. Firstly I used this tutorial to root my phone View attachment 1899558
Then I installed clockworkmod recovery with this tutorial

"lightbox_next": "Next",
"lightbox_previous": "Previous",
"lightbox_error": "The requested content cannot be loaded. Please try again later.",

When I did the ''IV. Accessing ClockworkMod Recovery'' , I tried to backup my phone, but there wasn't enough space to do it, so I pressed ''reboot'' and this happens, it goes through the samsung and galaxy w logo, but after that the screen just turns black, this happens every time when I try to turn it on. I can access the clockworkmod recovery.
I have tried to ''wipe the cache partition'', ''wipe data/factory reset'' and wipe ''dalvik cache'' but it doesn't seem to work.
What should I do, I don't want cyangenmod after this haha I just want to know if there is a way to get the phone working.
Any answers would be appreciated

Some wrong sequence there :
Forgets the steps as per attachment.
In assumption the CM9 ROM.zip is in your SD Card...
Boot to CWM
Locate the CM9 ROM using and remember the location i.e. External SD etc
Now under Advance...Format all folders clean (not the folder containing the CM9 ROM)
Wipe / Format / Cache etc = the usual
Wipe Dalvik
Fix Permission
Flash the CM9 then GAPPS
Reboot...:good:
No need to back-up once you have used CM9...you will never go back to GB
If you insist on back-up just move all your treasures in your PC 1st, best to format the SD Card then move the ROM.zip to it

Theme for Settings and Main Menu is now black

New pop dialogs, menus, bars, buttons, radios, checks and more
Colors for the status bar clock and icons.

it works in my tablet, really nice JB look.
in a some apps (playstore for instance), a lot of fonts in black apear on black background and white in white background.
superuser doesn't work, it ask you for permission but it fails to give them (voltage control fails at boot, DPI cannot be changed, etc...), usb development didn't work either.

Great thanks for testing! You sure you installed CWM + root that I provided? Have you try updating SU from market. Titles in Playstore may appear white but they will get black when it propertly updates in a few minutes.

i downloaded CWM from somewhere else, the file you uploaded in the first post is only 3.X MB, and cannot be flashed with odin.
I looked for the file somewhere else and the file size is about 7.4 MB.

[FAQS] [LT26i][4.1.2]{LEAK} Sony JellyBean Firmware: 6.2.B.0.197 (WORKING!)

Hey guys,
Here is the Thread of the original ROM : http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2252940
DooMLoRD ask to make a New Thread so that the original thread is not spammed.
I will try to answer as fast as I can and try to update this post frequently too.
So, here we go!!
Tutorial by maxgo1 :
1) Is This ROM work for Locked Bootloader?
No
2) Will work for Locked Bootloader?
No. This rom, and all others roms JB need a special Kernel to work.. so.. this need unlocked bootloader..
3) I got a bootloop after install this ROM..
On recovery, make sure that /System is unmounted.. (should be like this "mount /system")
4) I am on (XYZ) ROM.. What do i do before i flash this ROM ?
First of all make sure that you fulfill requirements :
-unlocked bootloader
-previously on stock .55 ICS ROM or roms based on that [since some components of THIS rom contain files from those firmwares]
-supplied ROM
-any existing kernel with recovery
-download the ROM and save it on SDCARD
-reboot device into recovery (make sure that the /system partition is unmounted, i have noticed that in some kernels the /system partition remains mounted)
-flash the ROMs update.zip (this will take some time)
-thats it now reboot device
-at first boot device will reboot once after bootanimation thats expected
-next boot will take a long time!!!
-it might happen that in after some reboots u get a "flashing firmware screen" thats ok.. let it complete... DO NOT DISTURB WHILE THAT PROCESS IS GOING ON!!!
-after a few reboots the ROM should stabilize!
enjoy!
So Yes you should be on a STOCK BASED ROM OR THE FIRMWARE ITSELF
5) Is the network now working ??
Yes
6) When will the official release be ??
Somewhere around end of MAY
7) Found a bug ?
Ok!! It will help a lot!! Post it on this threat and someone will help you with that.. Sometimes bugs are individual problems or general problems.. So, if was a General one, Developers will take care of it.. If it was a Individual problem.. try solving it..
Before You flash backup everything including sdcard..
8) I flashed successfully, how do i enter recovery ?
To enter recovery keep pressing VOLUME UP button AFTER u see the "PINK" LED at bootup (Sony logo)
9) Procedure :
Wipe data, cache, system and dalvik.. Then flash !!
10) Status 7 error ??
Read the OP carefully make sure that the /system partition is unmounted
11) Does the ROM include STAMINA mode?
Only Battery Management is included, but someone said that when you get to 15% it says that you can activate STAMINA to improve battery. We need to wait until final fw for that.
12) Does the ROM include Auto Superior mode?
No, it only has Superior Auto Scene Recognition mode, contrary to the last leaked fw.
13) After flashing this, will the root remain?
This is pre-rooted rom
14) Will Bravia-Engine work?
No, Bravia-Engine only works on locked bootloader
15) What about the kernel version?
Its 3.4
16) Since it is based on .55, will the leak work?
its not based on .55
17) Can i relock my bootloader after i flashed this leaked rom?
At the moment NO
18) Will I lose SDCARD data if I flash this firmware?
Only apps
19) So an overclock is possible?
No
20) Can not use 3g with data ?
Manually enter access points

I can confirm that when it goes down to 15% of battery it says it recommend to active stamina mode

This should be the app's problem...
As I remember it used to be like that even when I did nothing(unlock BL, root, etc.) to my phone...

Hi, sorry if this has already been covered. I did look but couldn't find any information. This is the first time i've ever installed a ROM on my phone, and I know you said that the install would take a while. I was just wondering if you could tell me roughly how long?
I think I'm just getting a bit anxious because there's no percentage bar etc to tell me if I'm installing this correctly or if it's doing nothing.
My phone's been sitting on "installing update" for about 30/40 mins now. Is this normal? Or is it safe to reboot my phone back into system and try again?

On recovery, make sure that /System is unmounted.. (should be like this "mount /system")
4) I am on (XYZ) ROM.. What do i do before i flash this ROM ?
First of all make sure that you fulfill requirements :
-unlocked bootloader
-previously on stock .55 ICS ROM or roms based on that [since some components of THIS rom contain files from those firmwares]
-supplied ROM
-any existing kernel with recovery
-download the ROM and save it on SDCARD
-reboot device into recovery (make sure that the /system partition is unmounted, i have noticed that in some kernels the /system partition remains mounted)
-flash the ROMs update.zip (this will take some time)
-thats it now reboot device
-at first boot device will reboot once after bootanimation thats expected
-next boot will take a long time!!!
-it might happen that in after some reboots u get a "flashing firmware screen" thats ok.. let it complete... DO NOT DISTURB WHILE THAT PROCESS IS GOING ON!!!
-after a few reboots the ROM should stabilize!
enjoy!
So Yes you should be on a STOCK BASED ROM OR THE FIRMWARE ITSELF
5) Is the network now working ??
Yes
6) When will the official release be ??
Somewhere around end of MAY
7) Found a bug ?
Ok!! It will help a lot!! Post it on this threat and someone will help you with that.. Sometimes bugs are individual problems or general problems.. So, if was a General one, Developers will take care of it.. If it was a Individual problem.. try solving it..
Before You flash backup everything including sdcard..
8) I flashed successfully, how do i enter recovery ?
To enter recovery keep pressing VOLUME UP button AFTER u see the "PINK" LED at bootup (Sony logo)
9) Procedure :
Wipe data, cache, system and dalvik.. Then flash !!
10) Status 7 error ??
Read the OP carefully make sure that the /system partition is unmounted
11) Does the ROM include STAMINA mode?
Only Battery Management is included, but someone said that when you get to 15% it says that you can activate STAMINA to improve battery. We need to wait until final fw for that.
12) Does the ROM include Auto Superior mode?
No, it only has Superior Auto Scene Recognition mode, contrary to the last leaked fw.
13) After flashing this, will the root remain?
This is pre-rooted rom
14) Will Bravia-Engine work?
No, Bravia-Engine only works on locked bootloader
15) What about the kernel version?
Its 3.4
16) Since it is based on .55, will the leak work?
its not based on .55
17) Can i relock my bootloader after i flashed this leaked rom?
At the moment NO
18) Will I lose SDCARD data if I flash this firmware?
Only apps
19) So an overclock is possible?
No
20) Can not use 3g with data ?
Manually enter access points

U have already lost ur warranty by unlocking boatloader.
So, just go ahead and enjoy ur phone.
Sent from my sunken ship xperia s.

I got a bug, after I lock the screen few times, the text line "Swipe up or down to unlock" completed gone unless I reboot the phone (stile can swipe to unlock phone tho).
I have 2 problems and fix it myself as follow:
1. For ppl get status 7 error come with phase "getprop.." while flashing rom : you can either follow this link (highonandroid.com/android-roms/how-to-fix-status-7-error-with-cwm-recovery-on-rooted-android/) or just simply flash the boot.img include in the leak rom (use fastboot mode to flash).
2. At first time, my map wont work, it wont let me get my possition. I have to open App draw > google setting > Location > Let google apps access your location: ON (the location service menu in system setting simply wont work for me )

thanks but need help

You get the recommendation or you actually can activate the STAMINA mode when it's below 15%?

This is right, it's not a bug. It disappears on all JB Xperias.

Same thing comes when you connect USB and trying to go to some folder , but computer does'nt display it and gives error "Unable to find this folder".
There's is just need to wait some time. It's create all indexes of all files. It's not scary.

1. Backup all your data, contacts, apps, SMS - whatever you need. Use Titanium Backup for apps.
Phone memory will be lost, everything on SDcard will stay.
2. Unlock your bootloader - unlockbootloader.sonymobile.com
3. Download the CM10 ROM for anzu.
4. Extract the kernel from inside the .zip file (kernel is in .img format). If you wish to use another kernel, for example nAa 3.0.8 or Fusion, then find them from Development section and download them.
5. Install the kernel via fastboot. Search for more info on this.
6. Enter the Recovery. Make sure phone is turned off, then turn it on, when kernel bootlogo appears, start clicking Volume Down button until a menu appears. Once there, use volume, home and back buttons to navigate.
7. Do a full nandroid backup, choose Backup and Restore and Backup. This will save your whole ROM and data, so you can restore your phone to that state later.
8. Choose Wipe Data/factory reset option to clear tracks of old ROM. You don't need to do anything else, otherwise you just waste time.
9. For CM ROMs, you must not format /system, if you find a guide that says it. Otherwise you get problems.
10. Then, back to main menu of the Recovery, choose install zip from sdcard, choose the zip file from sdcard and install it.
11. Once done, reboot your phone and let it boot.
Some people recommend to wipe cache, dalvik cache, battery stats etc. Factory reset already removes them so you do not need to do these again.
