Do anyone know and can tell me, if the hardbrick bug is fixed in this firmware ?
Nopes. You can however flash any of the "safe" kernels to circumvent the bug.

after flashing that ROM, do not touch its stock recovery
just flash the .tar version of latest siyah kernel v4.1.5 for S2 from odin, then u will be safe for sure

Unbelievable.
The original definition of a "brick" as applied to a device is once you have "bricked" said device, that is all it is good for; a brick. It won't even turn on, let alone boot and run.
Somewhere along the way, the definition became so loose that it now applies to devices that power on but don't boot; or boot, but boot loop... and this is known as a "soft brick". (which I think is ridiculous - there is no such thing as a "soft brick" as far as I'm concerned)
If your device powers on, it is not bricked.
I can't even believe you would ask if your device is bricked if you have it powered up and fully running.

Recently, I saw a lot of threads with phones bricking just like that. Manual reboot and never again would it boot. So, I'm starting to get REALLY worried that something simmilar could happen to my phone... Are there any risks?!
P.S. I'm running CM9 android 4.0.4. Nightly from 1st July with Siyah kernel 3.5.2. and Dxlpa modem that came with WanamLite.

No, CM9 and all versions of CM are safe. There are faults in the kernels of stock samsung ROMs such as lpq and others. When you go to samfirmware.com, the firmwares with the exclamation point/warning mark are the dangerous firmwares. However, I've started trusting CM more than Samsung

Download Siyah kernel (Tar for Odin!)

Kill all Kies processes in Task mnger
Open Odin (run as Administrator)
Boot phone in download mode (vol down+home+power)
Vol up to continue
Connect phone to pc, a field in Odin will turn yellow
Click PDA and select the file you downloaded
Make sure that Repartition is not ticked!!!!!!!!!
Click start
When it finishes, the field will turn green and say 'Pass!', phone will reboot

When flashing a different rom, always do a full wipe(factory reset, wipe cache, dalvik cache) or else you'll end up in a bootloop.

No, you cant get the brick bug in Siyah. Its present only in Samsung kernels and ones based on it, like Cf-root.

Hello everyone,
I rooted my Galaxy i9100 S2 using the SU Busybox method ( http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1501719 ) with a view to installing cyanogenmod CM9. I installed CWM recovery and successfully rooted the phone. It rebooted and I had the Superuser app.
Then, I entered CWM recovery to install the CM9 rom. After I selected the option to Wipe data/factory reset, the phone started wiping the data and then it suddenly turned itself off. Now it will not turn itself on, nor will it charge. Basically, nothing is displayed on the screen. I tried all methods available, from trying to enter recovery mode to doing a soft reset, and nothing happens.
I was running on the stock Samsung Android ICS ROM. I didn't get to install a custom ROM, and the root went well, as I was able to boot successfully after that.
Why do you think this happened? Do you have any advice for me ?
Thanks a lot !
If you had 4.0.4 stock samsung ics with brick bug you can say good bye to your phone. . .

Were you on ICS 4.0.4? If so, and you have used wipe data/factory reset with the stock CWM, I think you may have been hit by the infamous eMMc brick bug. I believe the only fix is a replacement motherboard or Samsung Repair Centre.

Yes, I was running on the 4.0.4 Can I install the motherboard myself ? I am pretty handy with computers...
Motherboard replacements are possible yes. I'm not sure where you can purchase one. I'm handy with computers myself but I don't think I would want to replace it myself. I'm just wondering because I remember reading somewhere that Samsung said something like they would help fix phones hit by the brick bug because it was their fault. Don't hold me to that, but also because you were on stock ICS, Samsung may repair it if it's still in warranty of course.

Not in a bad mood bro. In fact my team just won.
The thing is, I'm always not so happy with people bricking their phone when it was avoidable in the first place. That warning thread was made sticky for some reason.
You know we always warn people about the stock 4.0.4 kernel, but some of them like the OP will always blame Samsung for their own error as if Samsung wanted them to flash a custom ROM in the first place.
It's just not good enough!

I didn't know I have to search the whole forum before doing a wipe. It's not an uncommon procedure...
Anyway, I took it to my local Samsung service. The phone is still under warranty, so the guy said it might take a few days but it will be free. The guy also said they have had a few instances like this.
When I get the phone back, can I flash a 4.0.3 stock rom, and then wipe data/factory reset ? I really want CM9 (the latest version, with 4.0.4) installed on it, as I like the stock android feel...

Don't worry, the insane chip will only cause a brick when you try to wipe data/factory reset when using the stock CWM on 4.0.4 ROM's. Your on 4.1 so your fine.

And can't even use the camera when low battery without 3rd party app.
Can i unroot the phone? So it gets exactly like before if i regret or phone breaks and warranty **** or something ( TEST OFFICIAL 4.1) I
And i heard if you upgraded to 4.0.4 and root it was dangerous and you couldn't get life on the phone just because you wiped data etc. even a USB Jig couldnt help. And a triangle were somewhere hmm.
Is it hard to unroot?
Is it worth rooting if im going to unroot to test official 4.1?

Yes, but because you are on Samsung's 4.0.4 firmware, I'll advise you to flash either Speedmod kernel or Siyah kernel via Odin.
Download the .tar Odin version of one of the kernels and flash via Odin

Or
Siyah kernel: www.gokhanmoral.com/gm/2012/09/08/siyahkernel-s2-v4-1/

Dont let him worry you, the firmware itself is fine. The issue was a bug in kernel that was causing bricks after wiping data via recovery.
You simply flash a custom kernel like Siyah after flashing rom to get rid of problem.
Plenty of topics on how to root/flash roms.
Ok, is it just of flash the siyah tar and im rooted? was harder on S1
Will i have the triangle problem?
And which ODIN version do i need, where can i download it? Thanks for the help :fingers-crossed:

Nothing bad will happen but if your phone is still under warranty, then I'll advise you to remove.
Actually, there is no reason for you not to remove it, since there is an application that can do that for you.

So what model is the phone? I9100, i9100g, etc. You can either download a stock firmware from samfirmware, flash it then root, which will get you back to rooted stock, or, hunt around on xda for your model variant.

Yep, I've got i9100. I just didn't know what a 'boost mobile' was, ie if it's i9100 or something else. Usually if I need to flash stock, I'll just flash using mobile Odin and everroot. But many thanks for the info

I no what you have mate :thumbup:Im thinking s2 boost is the 4g model. Maybe wrong here but I would flash i9100 rom on that. Dont have one so not sure.
This is it here. Not an i9100. Has 8mp camera so I defo wouldnt flash i9100 rom on that.
Ahhh. Cool, gotcha. Also not sure whether it's flashable with an i9100 rom, it still depends on what model it is. If it's an i9100m, maybe.... If it's this http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?p=23042515 then probably not, and if it's as the screenshot attached, then definitely not. So still no real idea, they're all some sort of 4g galaxy s2... Able to shed any light on that?

What are you guys talking about?
All these devices use different CPU and GPU.
Don't encourage people to flash these ROMs on any I9100 or vice versa.
I9100 works on the P/M/T not G tho.
The closest US variant to the I9100 is the I777 and those ROMs aren't even compatible.
