Hi guys!
This might be a strange/noob question, but could somebody tell me all possible ways to brick/hardbrick a phone?
I'm new to android's world and I already bricked my S2 twice (Im not proud of it)
Hopefully I found the solution to unbrick it.
I really want to try new ROMs, kernels, etc., but I'm really afraid of doing something stupid and hard bricking my phone.
So I want to know, what I mustn't do with it.
Thanks in advance.
The quickest way to brick your phone is to not read and understand what you're about to do.

If you want to try new Rom's or Kernel's,You Read the Instruction FIRST
Yep. RTFM. I can count the number of people who bricked their phones on here over the past two years who were 'unlucky' on both hands (and that's out of many thousands). Almost always user error of some kind. Make sure you use a machine that you know has reliable USB ports if you're doing an Odin flash, make sure you use cables (preferably original Samsung ones) in perfect condition.

Hey guys, I'm looking to bring the ability to flash anything to this device without bricking it. I'm talking about booting a device without bootloaders or with damaged bootloaders. I know it's fully possible, I've got supporting documentation. I believe we can change the boot order fairly easily.
I'm asking for a device. If you have a working one which is hard bricked, then I can modify some hardware binary values until I see an expected result. If you have a bricked device, I can resurrect it and change some binary values. If you have a physically broken device, I can use it to remove the processor and map out these binary values manually. Otherwise, if it's salvagable, I can JTAG it.
I need a device to help out.. If you have a hard-bricked, this is your chance to get it unbricked for free and I get to check the i9100 out for UnBrickable Mod potential. Please post if you're interested.
Hi,
I have a completly bricked Samsung Galaxy S2 i9100 that I would be willing to donate to the cause if your still looking for one. Send me a mail with your contact details and you can play with it till you get what you want from it.

Great. Sending PM now.
... no response huh? Ok.
Well, it seems this project is actually impossible. Please unsticky this topic. Further research makes me hesitant to want to try working with this device.

If he doesn't know which ROM to install why did you let him? Only a JTAG repair would help since you don't have warranty too.

Why on earth have you created this topic when we already have plenty of this 100% exact same subject????
All you're doing is adding to the flood on needless topics that plague this forum. You have no need to simply clone topics for fresh replies that are same answers that have already been given before.

You cant just order Jtag from ebay. Jtag is made with RiffBox, which a very expensive piece of hardware. You also need some other skills and generally, Jtag is used only by professionals who know what they're doing.
What you need to find is a Jtag repair shop in your area. Jtag repair is much cheaper than getting a new motherboard.

ROM flashing is not something to joke around. Flashing a ROM without knowing what ROM is it could lead to the bricking of device. I bet your brother don't even know whether that ROM is compatible with the S2 model.
Could it be that he flashed a non-G version of ROM to a i9100G, or vice versa that leads to this condition?
Thread closed
Hopefully you can fix it without replacing the motherboard. No need for another thread on the subject.
Hi everyone,
I have been trying to port from device-to-device but I never succeed. Tried several guides on XDA, but it always fail.
I'd like to know how it is possible to port something like this: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2175663 (which is stock ROM)
If anyone could tell me in steps how it is possible to do it like Aerys, I would be really grateful as I'd really like to do something like this myself.
Thanks!

maybe try asking him?
Good day all,
Last week my phone died, so i was forced to buy a new one. I wanted to get a cheap phone with a dual core processor. With that in mind i bought myself the Alcatel One Touch X'Pop 5035D. Now don't get my wrong, i am fairly happy with the phone but i was used to phone that were rooted and had some community behind it to make that happen. Now i realise this is a fairly new phone that is a mid-end smartphone but i really hope someone could look in to this phone.
The only thread that i found about this phone was pretty much dead and i was hoping a new topic would put some new light on this phone.
I myself ain't someone that can develop anything for this phone since i just don't have the required skills to start a project like this. Now the only thing i can do is ask the following questions:
1) Is anyone able to Root this device?
2) Would it be a possibility for someone to make a ROM for this phone?
I would be able to test any upcoming ROM's or Roots, so thats no issue.
I really hope to get some responses since this phone has the hardware to run jellybean.
Oh and Alcatel released the sources on their phones on sourceforge, that might be helpfull:

Thanks in advance!

Hi there,
I have the same phone as yours except its TA-1021, I tried to flash an update from the XDA forum link it soft bricked my phone. I had to do a lot of research to unbrick my phone and it worked. Anyways the answer to your question is Nokia is currently working on Android Pie 9.0. However, I noticed that you can register any Nokia phone for Beta testing there new software, however I do not recommend it as it is unstable. However, you can go to this website and get the new security updates for your phone, maybe that might trigger an OTA update for your phone. I haven't tested it, but make sure you do your own research.
AND REMEMBER DO NOT UPDATE ANY OTA UPDATES THROUGH SD CARD, IT WILL SOFT BRICK YOUR PHONE. IF BRICKED SENT ME A MESSAGE ON XDA I WILL GUIDE YOU TO UNBRICK YOUR PHONE.
Thank You
