i have a question for you guys what i have not
do for to get a cell phone brick ?
i have read many threads and the only way for to get it is by using application rom manager thats right or i can get a brick cell phone in odin software.
what if by a mistake set files in a wrong order in odin software
galaxy ace cf gingerreal v1.0 kph
thanks in advance
WHY would you put the wrong files in ODIN, just read the tutorial and follow it correctly?
And to kinda answer the question, what've read is that ODIN will not brick you phone, you might be able to get a bootloop though (just reflash and it should work fine).
Read the newbie guide(sticky thread) about Rom manager, it should be supported now but be cautious, better to use CWM app instead, or just reboot your phone to CWM (dont be lazy).
People brick their phone when unlocking their phone, there should be a proper solution that works without having to brick you phone.

First, that's NOT zedomax's method. He regurgitated zergRush, which was the work of DoomLord and some other contributors - of which he was NOT one of. And I don't think he gave credit, either.
Second, I believe it doesn't work with newer releases of 2.3.6, which the OP is on.
Third, the OP already said he tried this method. (well, actually, he said "zerg". Pretty safe bet he meant this)

I figured you did, you asked a question in another thread I answered, where I told you explicitly to use G kernels.
However, I don't see any attempt on your part to "unbrick" your phone. Have you tried at all? Sometimes "bricked" phones are recoverable... How is it "bricked"? Does it boot? Can you get it into download mode if it can power on?

sorry, i knew that wasn't his method, i just meant he used it to root his phone. I wasnt meaning to give him ANY of the credit for it, although he does advertise it pretty well for noobs.
And i wasn't aware that it didn't work for the newer versions, i rooted not too long ago and it worked fine, but i don't think my carrier updates firmware often..

OK I have spent ages looking though all the threads on here and I am getting confused with all the numbers and codes
I have a Galaxy II GT-i9100
The the details are
Android Version 2.3.5
Base Version I9100NEK12
Kernal 2.6.35.7-I9100XWK18-CL616395 [email protected] #2

I have tried to follow a few links of here to unlock it but the links they show to the 'ODIN' are dead.
All I want to do is Unlock it from the present provider (UK)3 to be able to use another SIM.
Later on I might want to change the ROM
I have Changemod 7 on my old Desire.
Could any kind soul please point me in the right directions for the files software I need.
I know this keeps getting asked over and over again but I do really find the jargon hard to follow.
Thanks again you are a great bunch.

Think you really need to read the roll up sticky thread.
In the mean time.. Do this..
Turn of phone. Take out battery for a minute. Put battery back in..then..
Press volume up, main button at bottom of screen," menu button " and power button at same time and wait for phone to turn on.. You should then be in recovery.. Go down to data/factory reset and select it. Then reboot.

Hi!
All you need to do is flash a standard firmware with odin.
Here is the thread for Official firmwares, with instructions.
You want:
XWLPD
Firmware info
PDA:XWLPD
PHONE: XXLPW
Date: 08/05/2012
Android 4.0.3
This is ICS and is located 2nd from bottom of third post.
Does it matter it says its for the GT ?
Thanks
any clue on SIMunlocking not working ? DO I need a SIM card in the phone ?
and do I need the Kernal and do I update it after the firmware the same way with Orion ?
Thanks

According to your OP, you have the GT-I9100. If correct then that is the firmware required for an upgrade to ICS. You will not have any sim lock after this and just leave sim in if you like.

Let the phone boot, shut it down. Then as before, flash

Please be aware that this is the Official Samsung firmware and you will have Samsung's interpretation ei similar looks to GB.
Plz help me,
I was trying to root with siyah.
i followed manual
-Installed Kies on mine Windows 7
-download ODIN and latest siyah
-started odin and browse for siyah v3.4.tar in PDA slot
- started S2 in download mode and connected via Data cable
- after reboot i have yellow triangle (warning sign)
I know that this sometimes happens after rooting
BUT WHATEVER I DO I CAN'T PASS THAT SCREEN
I try to remove battery but after i put it back and switch on SAME THING.
Cant start it in download mode
Computer don't recognize it anymore so i cant root with some other kernel.
I CANT EVEN SWITCH IT OFF!!!!!
Thing that worries me is when i connected S2 in download mode damn Windows 7 has automatically installed some driver but ODIN has recognize it after finished driver update
1) Remove the f word from your post before mods see it & ban you.
2) If you really can't get into download mode, your last chance before you send it off to Samsung is a jig. Probably won't work, but worth a try. You never know.

You didn't heed this very sound advice, did you?
Ok. In order for anyone to help you, you must provide a lot more information than you do.
Model number of phone? (GT-i9100? GT-i9100G? GT-i9100M/P/T? SGH-i777? SPH-D710? SGH-T989?)
Current firmware of phone? (is it GB? ICS? Siyah 3.4 is meant for ICS. If you flashed it onto a phone that has 2.3.6 or lower, that could be your issue)

Ok, that is your issue. Siyah kernels are for i9100 phones. NOT for i9100G phones.
I find it hard to believe this would now prevent you from getting to download mode though.
Do this:
- take out battery
- hold vol down, home and power buttons, and keep holding
- put battery back in
This should get you to download mode.
Then flash a kernel actually meant for an i9100G. (look for one in the i9100G development subsection)
Then, here's something key for you: stick to firmwares, kernels, and ROMs ONLY MEANT for the i9100G.
i9100G has a different SoC/chipset than the i9100, so these things are not compatible between the two devices.

If you don't know what firmware version you were on, then I'd just start over at this point, and flash a stock i9100G firmware. This will get you back to Gingerbread.
Then you can do whatever you want, but again, make sure you stick to G-variant firmwares, kernels and ROMs.
I will try.

Click to expand...

I wouldn't say the I9100 is necessarily BETTER than the I9100G, but I think that's a matter of opinion.
It benchmarks a little better due to the Exynos processor in the I9100 running a tad faster than the OMAP in the I9100G, but I've heard that for the most part, real world performance differences are hard to notice, and the I9100G runs cooler.
The I9100 has been available for longer, so as a result there has been more development for it, but since the I9100G has an OMAP (which is also the processor the Galaxy Nexus has), porting has somewhat recently (in the last few months) picked up for the G-variant. (CM9 is in nightlies for the I9100G)

Hello Friends,
I am in desperate need of your help.
I am a moderate user and I know how to stuffs about Rooting and flashing custom ROMs.
Today I tried to flash CM9 stable ROM for International Galaxy S2 I9100. I did it using temporary CWM.zip file and everything went just fine till the installation of ROM. But when I clicked Wipe Data, suddenly phone went off and now it doesn't start.
I tried everything, tried to enter into Download mode and Recovery mode but all was in vain.
Please help me what should I do now? And is my phone ever going to come back to life?

I was using,

Do you know what kernal you had at the time, for the phone to go off during a wipe sounds like the brick bug but I didn't think it was present in LPT. Can other members clarify please. Does your phone charge when plugged into charger?

I'm sorry but that's your fault.
It's being said 1 million times already, that wiping your data in CWM while running stock 4.0.4 ROM with a stock kernel will BRICK your phone.
Your inability to read might have left your phone bricked.
Read through the forum next time, ask questions if you don't understand anything and I can assure you will be luckier next time.

Yes there are many threads in this section and on xda portal warning you about the brick bug...
Almost all 4.0.4 have a brick bug... moreover it is caused when we do a data wipe. I believe you have bricked your device... sorry for that

Almost all 4.0.4 have a brick bug... moreover it is caused when we do a data wipe. I believe you have bricked your device... sorry for that

Hi, I thought the brick bug was present in only the leaked firmwares and those highlighted on samfirmware eg the Russian release LQ6 I think.

that's why I blamed you for this. You did not read or ask before wiping but was only guessing.
This is a sticky thread under General section warning everyone about the buck bug. Here: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1756242
I and many others have also warned people about this bug but the unfortunate thing is that most of ask these kind of questions after the problem has occurred.

As far as I know all 4.0.4 ROMS have MMC_CAP_ERASE enabled, so in case of having bad chip and using wipe under temporary CWM floating around you will brick your phone. Although seems the problem is only in touch version of CWM. More detailed information can be found in 1st guide in my signature where Phil was talking with Entropy512.

^^Not only with touch CWM but also with "temporary CWM" wjich is what you were using.
Take it to a service center as your phone now needs a motherboard replacement..and I hope you still have warranty..!

Hello Friends,
I am in desperate need of your help.
I am a moderate user and I know how to stuffs about Rooting and flashing custom ROMs.
Today I tried to flash CM9 stable ROM for International Galaxy S2 I9100. I did it using temporary CWM.zip file and everything went just fine till the installation of ROM. But when I clicked Wipe Data, suddenly phone went off and now it doesn't start.
I tried everything, tried to enter into Download mode and Recovery mode but all was in vain.
Please help me what should I do now? And is my phone ever going to come back to life?

Sorry dude
You might have to send your phone to device center for repairs but if you are out of warranty or wants to try to Fix things yourself, then the advise/instructions below is for you:
-boot your phone with usb jig, if you can get to download mode, then proceed to next step

Good luck

Is the brick bug present in ICS? I want to upgrade from Gingerbread to ICS 4.0.3, will I be safe when flashing then?

Hi guys,
Thanks for all your replies.
I already figured it out that I have bricked my phone. But I was under impression that Data wipe with CM9 ROMs is not dangerous. At the time of failure I had already installed CM9.
Guess now I'll have to send the phone to Service center.
One thing I want to ask, "If the phone is hard bricked, is there any chance of them knowing that I had installed a custom ROM?"
If they can't then it might help me since my phone is still under 1 year manufacturer warranty.
Please reply and Thank you for your replies. The latest adventure of mine turned out to be painful one!!

I don't think so. since you can't boot into either recovery or download mode.
Even if you have an increased binary counter, it will be cleared once your device is forced with a usb jig to boot into download mode.

Then USB Jig is my last hope and if that doesn't work then I have to send the phone to the service center.
So if you can't enter into download or recovery mode there is no way to find out if i have used any custom ROM or rooted the phone?
Correct me if I'm wrong.
And thank you for your reply. In this desperation every reply from community member is like gold.
