alright so i had one of my friends who has the vibrant on tmobile help me root and install darkys rom on my phone. since i had no idea i just let him do it since he has it on his phone. we rooted it use the onesuperclick. we took off the bloatwear and then put the rom on the sd card loaded it up in recovery and did the recovery then installed it. my phone hard bricked. nothing comes up or no download mood nothing even when pluged. but no worries i just send it to tmobile. but i wanna know if anyone can give me a guide to do this step by step so it dosent happen again when i get my phone back. thanks
The vibrant roms do not work on the 4g....until they are ported to 4g with the proper mods made to the rom they will cause a brick everytime

1. no matter how much it looks like it, the s4g isn't a vibrant. there are as of yet no custom roms available.
2. people like you and your friend are the reason carriers and manufacturers are going towards more restrictive ability to root and signed/encrypted bootloaders
theirs no roms for the 4g?

nice post for someone with 4 posts total.... reported.
Really though, when carriers stop insuring phones, this will be the reason why....
i had the same hard brick problem as above but for me it was weird. all i wanted at the time was to get rid of the bloat where and i did after which i unrooted and the phone worked fine. the weird thing is later i went in to download mode by accident and before i could do anything the phone was bricked. tmobile replaced My phone but if this has happened to anyone else please reply

with root (named superuser permissions) you can do all thing that you desire with your phone (but not cofee or sex LOL)
1-FLASH A CUSTOM ROM
2-FLASH A CUSTOM KERNEL AND OVERCLOCK YOUR PROCESSOR (SET UP THE PROCESSOR SPEED)
3-CHANGUE THE BASEBAND RADIO
4-FLASH A RECOVERY MENU FOR TO RECOVER YOUR ROM IF ANYTHING GOES BADLY IN YOUR DEVICE
5-FLASH COOL THEMES FOR CUSTOMIZE YOUR ROM
ETC ETC ETC

The unbrick is UCKD3? Don't quote me on that, but I know it's a D just not sure of the number. And sometimes the software update doesn't work the first few times you try so that's most likely all that happened, haha.

I say do not make a new software thread until you got actual proof that it is a new update.
Ask Broncogr to delete it. I'm sure he'd have no problem with this one since it's irrelevant to anyone's interest after the title.

I'm sorry guys be gentle. I have reverted back to stock probably 15-20 times at least and almost always do a software update check and this is the first time ever it actually said there was one and started downloading. Went through the whole procedure and then it was still froyo. I have no problem whatsoever with a mod taking this thread down.
And once again I apologize. My only intentions were to get the news out as quick ad I could.

Hanging
I've had to go on the Atrix 4g forums lately and look up some stuff for my wifes Atrix and I've seen a lot of people posting stuff saying that their phones have messed up a lot since their boootloader was unlocked. Random rebooting was the main one. I'm hoping it's just the person not doing something right. My main concern is if we ever do get the bootloader unlocked will we have issues like this.

Hi i am new to this forum and i want you guys to help me with my skyrocket i accidently flashed a custom ROM to my skyrocket but it wast for a infuse 4g and now it doesnt turn on and doesnt even go to recovery and download. Is there any way to unbrick it.
thanks in advance
Probably hardbricked. Can you get into download mode?
Edit: scratch that question about download mode....she's hosed. For 50 bucks there is a guy who can fix it. You have to send him your phone though

Thx for the reply i was searching information about it and some people was able to put it in download mode using a jig do you guys that might work?

Bricking a phone really sucks, and the SR appears to be particularly unforgiving.
Jtag may be the only answer right now (other solutions like qpst haven't panned out, yet)...or warranty if possible, of course...just saying...

The jig wont work, I promise you. Flashing a rom for another device is the best possible way to hard brick. Sorry to be so pessimistic but this is the truth.
Jtag service just recently became available for the sr--for a reasonable fee they can restore it. Google it!

That sucks dude, but I really wanna know how in the hell that could even happen? Why are you looking in the infuse 4g forum for Roms if you have a skyrocket? But, if jig doesn't work you have to send it to that fella and he will fix it for 40 or 50 bucks. Good luck and don't flash things that aren't for the skyrocket
My guess its he upgraded from an infuse and restored an old nandroid
i'm dying to know how out actually happed... Good luck to you though
