I'm getting pi***d off... Please spare some time to help me!

Hello. Let me introduce myself. My name is Nebojsa and im from Serbia. I have SE Xperia X8 Android phone with 2.1 version. After 3 days of searching and around 100 "Master Resets" on my phone i started to hit the wall with my head. Now when im bleedin' and turning into a super sayian 5, i wanted to finaly ask a question. As you "Devs" said in that video when trying to register, i just became a noob... After so long when i could find anything i need without any help. So let me no bother you anymore and get to the point.
I want to update my phone to any latest version that has no bugs like non working camera? I mean i dont want looks if my camera is not working........... So... I have followed so much different tutorials and such and its like i go step by step and then on a video guy goes into xRecovery folder and im like because i dont have it! after all dls instalations and such i dont even know what to do next...
What i request of you that you give me such a tutorial like when showing me a tutorial how to take my lungs out and not die... Step by step...
Example: There was a guy that had a tutorial where he cant even speak clear and he says now install xrecovery...i have a rar file with like 20 files of it and i just get confused...while he alrdy has it installed and just slice through it...then on other tutorial guy says install some kind of explorer and he alrdy have it too and im looking at a file with .apk at the end having no idea what to do with it....
I thank you for your time and i would like you to help me as much as i deserve. Thank you a lot.
P.S. I cant even install angry birds????

[Q] Please Help Me! I'm about in tears!

I am Pretty sure that I bricked my phone completely and I am in such a panic that I can't even concentrate on searching through different threads to fin a solution let alone trying to understand them (I'm a Nooby) can someone please help me.?? I was trying to root my phone through the all in one toolkit and at first I had soft bricked it but trying to fix that I think I full on bricked it!!! PLEASE help me..
With a post like that, I don't guess you'll get many replies. Since you are a noob (why are you flashing your phone then?), I'd suggest you look in the dev section for the thread containing RUU for your phone. This should allow you to reflash back to stock via your PC where I'd suggest you stay until you do some more research.
Post exactly what you did and what happened. "I bricked my phone" doesn't tell us much.

[Q] No operating system

Hello,
I have a problem: after playing with the format-reset-mounting...options on my galaxy gt-i9103 the phone seems not to have any operating system and it stays on all the time....
I am not a cell phone expert, but I have downloaded Odin3-v1.85 in my computer...dont know how to proceed or from where to download any operating system-drivers or else. Could anybody please advise me how to proceed? I have never done nothing before with cellphones, so any explanation should be made thinking I dont know nothin...not even which things to download...
Thank you in advance for your help
Why did you play with formatting if you don't know anything about it?
Sent from my OmniROM-powered LG Optimus 4X HD
I bought it on ebay, so I thought it was a good idea to start everything from cero... once i reinstall everything I am sure that i did a good thing...
May I get help?

[Q] Can someone troube shooting this galaxy s3 problem real quick?

So I got into trouble where I can't start a Phone at all. When I turn it on, suddenly the phone direct me to here imgur*com/JSU1sDo(It's in Chinese and I have no idea on understand it) after the samsung logo.
Before I do a firmware reset, I at least need to know this problem because It can be fix by somehow and If you can translate it to English it might be great
Finally, I really appreciate any help from anybody It's seem like I can't get anyone to fix this problem by myself
Change the * to dot as I can't post a link as a newbie :victory:

I have no idea what it says but it looks like a soft brick to me, should be fixable by flashing correct firmware with Odin, just follow this guide but DO NOT follow step1: http://forum.xda-developers.com/galaxy-s3/general/fix-s3-to-factory-unroot-stock-recovery-t2323847
May I ask what you did/what happened to cause this ?

[Completed] Need help with fastboot

Hello everyone. I'm new here and I'm looking for someone who can help me with step by step to uhh... fix my phone. It's a Lenovo s650 and I have tried to flash it via fastboot, but to no avail. And because of that, I'm here now. Please take a note that I'm not that good with these things so please bear with me. Anyhow, the phone is now kinda retarded. You know those pop ups, saying that something has stopped working, yeah... basically, I'm getting spammed by em'. So, there's no time really for me to do anything on the phone like going to the settings or even changing the usb mode to debugging without being bombarded by em' every sec. Thus, the reason why I want to flash it. (cause I think flashing is like turning them back to beginning, like after a reset?) Oh, and before that I have already tried hard reset. That, of course, didn't work. :crying:
Please help
P.S. Sorry if something is wrong with my English. But I hope it's adequate enough for you guys to understand what I'm trying to say.
