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

I have been looking everywhere for a bootloader to flash to my SGS 4g via Odin, can anyone help me?
P.S. would a SGS Vibrant bootloader work on it because I have found one of those?
Thank you for your time,
Chad
i don't know much about bootloaders but WHATEVER YOU DO DO NOT FLASH THAT VIBRANT BOOTLOADER, IT WILL BRICK!

Don't think that Superoneclick will root gingerbread. Dr honks modified gb kernels will auto root and give you cwm.

Not sure but again you can Odin Dr honks modified kernel to get root and cwm. They are in the dev section.

Nowadays I tend to only check here twice a day. Busy busy days now. =/.
But Chad, to answer your question, if you're gonna root, you might as well try out some of the custom gingerbread roms we have on this forum. There are Audiophile, valhalla and ICBINB. There are differences to all of them so make sure you read up on which you might wanna flash.
Superoneclick can't root our phones on Gingerbread, so you'll need to flash a custom GB kernel as Exodian recommended.
If you want you can follow my GB starter pack guide from step 7 on so you can prepare your phone for having ext4 and a gingerbread rom of your choice without issues.

Cool! I've been reading and lurking trying to learn how to root and all that so I can maybe try my hand at flashing a new rom but haven't had the courage to really dive in. I guess I'm a bit hesitant ..hopefully soon I will try. Any tips?

The collective has great roms for the inspire 4g. I dont expect anything less for the skyrocket.
So he needs $150 to buy a new SR? Or he needs a unlocked one ?

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

Oh... prepare for the flaming!
I'm sorry. There's nothing you can do. Is it hard or soft bricked?

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?

Jeezus H.Christ nrm!!! I'm pretty sure this is the best one yet, honestly lmao'd!
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

Was that i downloaded the sky ics rom for my skyrocket but i forgot i put it on the same folder as the infuse one and the name of the rom is almost the same as the ics rom that i had for my infuse and i accidently flash it and now is dead X_X
