]Ok since this thread http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1359268&page=4 is not sticking out. Mabye this will...hard bricks can now be fixed........
Check it out

From skimming it seams that we can't do it we would have to mail our phones out to the guy in that thread to do it for us?
thats right. But lets not turn this negative. So many people brick. And now there isba solution. Sure it sucks having to send it somewhere. But it is a solution. And if it was as simple as using odin or something. People would find a way to mess it up lol .
$50 beats a brick anyday. Sounds awesome. I have been rooting and roming for a while but have been a little bit more nervous with how expensive this phone is. This will make me a little more confident in flashing.

Oh I'm not complaining or turning things negative, just making sure I got the idea of the thread. I'm at work so I skimmed it real fast and didn't read all the pages. 600 for a new phone vs mailing a brick out is good.
It would have been easier to link to his specific site, or something rather than having to read through everything and find the correct link.

Well, it makes no sense, if the chip is fried, then why does it give the error code? The phone can't turn on or do anything when the chip is fried. As there is nothing to make the phone boot or even process, there is no power supply.

Probably the same but the fact that they charge in about 5 minutes makes them better than an extended battery in my opinion.... they're basically a never ending battery if you have your charger and energy source around every 8 hours or so, just go take a cigarette break and you'll have a full battery by the time your done lol I think this is the solution to quad+ core processors in smartphones....

Hey, I really apologize if I had offended anybody.
Honestly.
Mea culpa.
That was never my intention to insult or offend anyone.
You guys are really taking this way too seriously.
I wrote it as an attempt at humor in the general section and the Q/A section...not in the DEV thread, out of respect.
As I was trying to help new users out, I was running into the same questions over and over again.
If some of these guys would just read a few pages instead of asking the same questions over and over again. If they had bothered to surfed through the threads, they could have seen it.
I wrote it as a tongue in cheek comment...poking fun of myself as I had tried to learn the android and custom rom process. I had soft bricked and boot looped my phone plenty of times. I got a usb jig. I had read up on acid, thunderbolt and adrenaline etc..and opened up roms to try to understand it as well. I was poking fun at myself in the process. Until this August, I owned a flip phone and thought it was the bomb.
If you can't really see the comment as a funny for what it is, I apologize. I mean it. Take it to heart and move on.....
anyway,
Have a Joyous Season with your family and friends...
fwiw, I will enjoy my infuse for the next two years...
running what ever rom that works...
and for the record..I REALLY do appreciate the works of all the "giants" that have contributed to this phone...you guys know who you are...THANKS.
I don't get it.......
on amazon i seen a USB Jig/Download Mode Dongle for the skyrocket, use "SGH-I727 Jig" in the search bar on amazon, cant post links yet, has anyone seen or tried this yet to unbrick a hard bricked of their phone,
i cant buy it since i live in canada, i would buy it just in case i do hardbrick my phone, 2 sellers r offering it at a cheap price

Why would you need this if you can always get into odin mode unless your hard bricked? What could cause a half way brick lol.

Because there is always going to be people that don't bother to do any research and buy it thinking it is a quick solution for the last time they didn't do any research (and hard bricked their phone).
There is an App on the market (play store) that claims to turn your phone into a solar panel so it can charge itself through sunlight. The Dev of this app clearly sates that it is a joke and just put there for idiots that don't know better. It doesn't take very long reading the App reviews to see that there are plenty of idiots around. Most get it, however, there are several that actually think that it is supposed to charge their phones even after the Dev's confession.
So yea, that is why.

I think the only thing they fixed was the issue of resetting the flash counter which was only good to 2.3.4. But now that we have a flash able zip to use with the 4.0 roms. The jig should still get you into download mode with a soft brick.

if holding the two volume buttons down when plugging it in does not throw it in to download mode, is it therefore hard bricked?

So, I have just acquired a new victim, an acquaintance's old Charge. It's pretty...shall we say...stressed? The chassis is quite beat up but the phone itself still works fine. What should I do with it? Anything short of any damage to the device. I'll even send it to a developer assuming they want it...

I would much rather it go to someone else... but if no one else will take you up on it I would be interested. My son has been... well, less than friendly to the charge in its now-wifi-toy status and I find myself having issues maintaining the usb connection for odin/pc/anything as a result. I have been trying to odin back to ep4d for the last few hours... I THINK I got it now - made it farther than any time before anyway lol.
Anyhoo - I suppose consider me a default case if you are really interested...? As an alternative, you could always use it to try and tinker yourself... I don't know if you've noticed but there aren't too many cooks left in this kitchen
Well, considering I couldn't even understand how to compile kernel source, I don't think I'm the one to be tinkering...
Anyhow, I'll send it to any developer who's interested. My only request is that I get it back to me upon release of the Galaxy SIV, as I'll be selling all the devices I have to get some pocket change for college.

As far as my interests in your extra phone go, I think I will wait and see if any other takers arise for this - I would much rather get some other people involved.
Well, this thread is open. Anyone who wants to try their hand, post in this thread and we'll take a vote. I talked to imnuts a couple of months ago about this (I knew I was going to get the device, just didn't know when) and he said he was too busy to do any dev work, through I don't know if that still holds true.
Anyone who wants the Charge for development purposes, post ITT.
Tell all your friends.
