I bricked my phone... I was using clockwork mod and I decided to flash a rom... it took, then I went back into clock work mod and I formatted the system, cache, datadata, data, and boot. Is there any way to fix this? Please help me... my phone is my life. thx
 
Can you get back into clockwork again? Not sure how it's done on your device, on a lot of handsets, it's done by holding volume down whilst powering on.

If you flashed the ROM, then wiped data, system and cache etc, the ROM won't boot as you've terchnically wiped the ROM by formatting the system partition. All that's supposed to be done before the ROM is installed.
 
no I wasn't able to get back into clockwork mod....
I did fix the problem....

I fixed my fone.
Downloaded a firmware update file fom this link:
http://www4.zippyshare.com/v/55490916/file.html
from there i formatted my memory card with my computer, to fat32. I copied dload from the above downloaded file, and held the end & vol + key while powering on. Updated firmware perfectly. turned phone off after it re-booted, and took the memory card out. booted as usual. then i re-rooted the phone, and re-installed clockwork mod and rom manager. after doing this, I copied my desired custom rom back to my memory card, and after that, I had booted into recovery. installed the .zip file, and everything is back up and running. if you need more details, here is the guide I used to figure this out... concept is the same, some steps are different than mentioned here.... this is the guide I used:

Hope this helps anyone facing the same issue I was having.

By the way, the above forum is for the Huawei Ideos S7 Tablet. This is why the steps are different than mentioned in my post... took me a little tinkering around with the phone to get into the update mode. I didn't want anyone to have to go through what I went through to find this info incase you did brick your u8150. flashed a custom rom and is now using sony ericsson rom built for the ideos. awesomeness.
