[Q] samsung galaxy s4g brick help

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

The Nexus S 4G is a CDMA fone. CDMA fones do not use sim cards. Also boost does not take out side esn's so to get it on boost u need to change the esn(its illegal). But Google is ur friend!

Because its like IMEI, you could use it to get past blocks, or in the case of esn, use it on another network that only allows there devices on it

help with my skyrocket

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?

and here is the flaming

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

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

Thank you very much
But how do I apply this radio file to my phone? If there is a prerequisite step please direct me to a post that teach me how to do it

Do a little searching on the forums, but you effectively have to flash the CWM recovery to your phone so you could then flash over the mod's specified in that thread. I can't go into the whole specifics of doing that as there are TONS of threads on it.

Last time i checked the links on the thread are bad.....I unlocked my skyrocket to tmobile and tried dl but links were bad.......so Im on EDGE on the skyrocket but who cares SGS3 is beast ass phone even with the small ammount of roms and mods for it

Per the linked thread a few posts above, search for the blaze modem suggested. That should get you off the Edge network

Once you flash a tmobile modem to unlock the 4g, also try adding these settings to your build.prop
ro.ril.hsdpa=24
ro.ril.hsupa=6
ro.ril.hsxpa=5
ro.ril.gprsclass=10
Supposedly you should get even better data speeds. I cannot verify this. worth a shot.

Thanks for this information. I managed to get CvD-Nibbles 1.6 (Jelly Bean mod ROM) loaded and Blaze_4G_LB7_ICS_Radio_MOD with this settings. Works better now.

I also managed to load a couple T-Mobile ROM like Liquid_All-Star V5.5 and All-Star-Rom V2-1 with skyrocket kernel Sky_p3.2 and Blaze_4G_LB7_ICS_Radio_MOD plus the build.prop tweak to work great.

Can you just drop these lines anywhere in the build.prop or is there somewhere in there it specifically needs to go?

Phone won't ask for unlock code. help!

I bought the unlock code for my Samsung galaxy s2 skyrocket and I originally had it rooted on 4.0.3 I believe and I would insert my tmobile SIM and it wpuldnt prompt me for the unlock code. It just said invalid SIM. So now I thought maybe I did something wrong with the root or the firmware so I updated to 4.1 and it works greats no bugs but I still won't ask for the unlock code if someone could help me out here that would be great havent really messed with a galaxy s2 in a while since they first came out and not to good with gsm phones as I use cdma for the most part. All help is appreciated

Maybe be wrong but I think you have to be on a stock ROM. There's a thread in general about unlocking.
Edit: this may help.
