Battery pull while flashing a PG05img file in Hboot will do it.

I'm pretty sure the term "bricked phone" has the implication that you cannot "unbrick" the phone. If you are so nervous about bricking your phone that you have to ask how to do it, perhaps you should unroot it.
Dunk it in the toilet for a few.
Couldn't you smash the Thunderbolt with an brick?
(Sorry... couldn't resist. )

How about flipping this up. There are too many things NOT to do... How about just learning to use root tools, doing research, following directions & understanding what you are doing to your phone.
Please remember kids, always practice safe flashings.
Hey thanks for all the GOOD HELP ...

Yes the term "brick" would mean a phone is in a state which can not boot to normal nor boot to recovery (normally doesn't boot at all or stuck in a boot loop). If you were able to "unbrick" the phone, then it was not in a "brick" state to begin with. I guess it would have been a "near brick". Anyhow, I am sure you can "brick" anything electronic. As mentioned before, pretty sure pulling the battery when doing a PG015IMG update via HBOOT would at least "near brick" it.

What do you want us to say there is really no real way to brick this phone. So stop being an ass and just realize that an ruu erases everything and puts your phone back to the way you bought it.

Wow everyone is such a comedian.. This is my very first android and i was wondering the same question for a while.
Un Bricking does it mean that we are not capable of Un Bricking it? or does it mean that somewhere out there, there is an super android guru that can un brick the phone.. just not you, me or the devs there.
Thank you
Misterdonut...That's Wat I was trying to ask....
sent from my rooted tbolt using XDA app
A "brick" is just that, something of no value and completely unusable or recoverable. By definition, if you brick your phone, it's dead.. for good. Short of erasing the hboot/recovery partitions(which may not even be possible.. is hboot hard-coded into the phone??) You have no real need to be concerned. There *should* always be a way to recover from mishaps.
There's some talk of the latest OTA bricking rooted devices, and if that turns out to be true, then there may be cause for concern, but even then, unless you're extremely careless.. you should be fine. Just follow directions for whatever you're attempting.. seriously, it's all easy, and if you have problems, you shouldn't be rooted, anyhow.

if you are rooted. I don't think there is anything you can possibly do to brick your phone (software wise). If in case it is "bricked" connect it to a PC and start the adb process of fixing it.
So just being bored, i decided to flash a t-mobile rom, via clockwork rom manager, now the skyrocket wont even power on. So thanks Rom Manager for the bricked phone, Bad Buisness....
First sorry to hear that man. Ive never trusted rom manager to flash, I always use clockwork mod. Have you tried pulling the battery and try to get into download mode?

Why would you blame ROM Manager for your mistake?
A. Anytime you flash anything (even if its the correct ROM flashed the correct way (CWM)) you always assume responsibility yourself.
B. You flashed a T-mobile ROM on your AT&T Skyrocket. If done right, it usually works, but it still adds extra risk.
C. You said you were "just messing around". Anyone that doesn't want a bricked phone should take flashing or modifying anything serious...not just messing around.
D. Most of the ROMS you are supposed to flash on the SkyRocket give detailed directions in the OP. Any I have sen all say to use CWM and give great instructions.
I don't see how any of this is ROM Managers bad business? Hopefully this will be a good tale of precaution for others before they brick their phone not paying attention. Sorry to hear about your phone, but take the blame for yourself...not ROM manager.

Thanks. I'm not trying to give the guy a hard time. He just bricked (atleast soft-bricked) his phone so I'm sure he really is pissed. But blaming an app for it when it isn't the apps fault starts alot of confusion. If something really is wrong with an app, we all need to know about it so it can be tested / fixed/ avoided / reported / etc...If the fault is with the phone's owner than the phone's owner needs to take responsibility for the problem and stop blaming the creators of useful apps (and ROMS) for the problems.

It bricked because ROM manager doesn't recognize the recovery on the skyrocket. It's something in the first line of the app.
Although, I might agree with you and blame ROM manager also if it let you flash a ROM while it couldn't detect a recovery. That's just straight up ****ty oversight on the developer.

Try Samsung first. Tell them it just derped one day when you tried to turn it on. If they believe you, it might take a week or two but you'll get another phone. Samsung will just fix it and give it to the next person that has a warranty replacement as a "referbished" unit. They won't lose money and you will get a new phone. That is if they believe you.
still a 200 dollar deductible..i could probably smoose out of it...but i would actually like to fix it my self..just for the experience.....oh and the Rom was called Ziggy and Mobstergunz..(minimal triumph.v1.02..state away from that ****

Ok,
I'm trying to Unroot my phone and I've looked all around, including outside of XDA and I cannot find a fix. The K0nane method is a no go. Everytime I run it through ODIN it fails, giving me the DL screen of death on my phone. (phone----caution-----computer) I have to reflash the CWM .zip and it works again.
Can someone please PLEASE point me in the direction of a comprehensive unroot method? It would be greatly appreciated.
(yes I've looked, I've searched, I've combed, I cannot find anything that works for my Skyrocket.)
Any idea why Odin method doesn't work? Try the tar from sammy. Try a different version of Odin. Try a different computer or USB slot. Theres no reason it shouldn't work. Maybe reinstall drivers. Have you tried all that? :thumbup:

Have you Odin'ed the .tar from sammobile.com yet? It will take you back to original 2.3.5 unrooted and 3e recovery. Seems you are comfortable with Odin. Your phone will be unrooted. Make a backup of calls, schedules, messages and etc. With Kies then restore after you flash back to stock. You will have to redownload all of your apps. If you had a nandroid of 2.3.5 you could restore it then use the zergrush exploit to unroot.

Make sure your phone is connected via USB at moment you place the phone into firmware update (download mode) konane tar and Odin should work I hope that this is mistake you are making and that it works out for you mate.
---------- Edit---------
Make sure the phone is hooked up to the computer and then do the same step you would do to place the phone into recovery mode, without the USB cable connected your phone will not go into download mode. Make sure none of the boxes on the top are checked in.
Hey thanks guys, i'm looking into all of this asap. I appreciate all.the responses as soon as i'm back to a computer thanks to all.

Odds are if it doesn't work for your skyrocket means you are doing it wrong . Odin failing can happen for a variety of reasons. Bad usb cable, not using a Motherboard usb port on PC (if desktop use rear USB ports, don't use any adapters or external USB hubs), not using Download mode. Just to be sure run ODIN as admin. Plenty of references in general and Q&A.

There are fully functional jelly bean builds. It's popular because it's a beast, and development is excellent despite the roadblock (which no longer matters).

Ok so I rooted the phone and it did make the phone a bit more interesting
Now to wait for an easier way to install custom recovery and roms
Tapping that from another galaxy
It's super easy to install roms. Go to the market and download ez recovery, go into easy recovery and install cwm 6.0.1.0. That's it's now go find a tin you like boot into recovery and flash the rom. Of course make a backup first and stay away from asop roms imho. To many people had issues. Flash synergy, beans or cleanrom. Those are all safe roms

Installing custom recovery and ROMs doesn't get any easier than it is now. EZ recovery app, as said above, for custom recovery and clockwork recovery for ROMs mods etc.. If you screw up there is always ODIN. As long as you don't brick the bootloader (just don't flash bootloaders) ODIN should fix near anything I believe.

I recused myself from offering any help for the same reason. I don't want to be responsible for bricking a device by telling him to flash a new i727 ROM or recovery on the wrong device.

I have a problem with getting into CWM. I successfully installed CWM and put the supersu file into the phone. But when i enter CWM. it exits by itself and i couldn't find a solution so i posted it on this website. Would definitely appreciate a proper answer .Thank you very much if u do

The other guys have good points. All gs2's are not the same. You need to let its know what specific device you have. An i727 or i9210

But I'm afraid it may brick the phone as i already put CWM the version of CWM is CWM touch and the phone is an i9210 i had to put it here as theres no forum for it. I'm just confused if the i727 or the i777 are similar in devices.

The 9210 is not the skyrocket nor is it the og gs2

To have any hope of saving your phone you need to find away to put the stock rom and recovery back on it. Google that for your i9210. Any other help would be just guesses as I'm not familiar with your phone.

Theoretically the i9210 and i727 are the same phone for different markets, both are SGSII LTE. One is for North America and the other one is for the rest of the world.
The i989 and i9210 are supposed to have the same chipsets and as we know the i989 and i727(r) are intercompatible with some minor input.
So, theoretically, there shouldn't be too much danger in experimenting with software between these two phones.
But, I wouldn't try it, unless money grew on trees and I could just throw a phone away out the window after using it for a day because who cares I got a whole stack of new ones in my supplies room where I keep the $100 bills mountain. :laugh:

You forget hardware button and likely multiple differences in their kernel I'm not sure how many but they aren't the same device.

If you read carefully you will see that I never did say that they in fact are the same phone, regardless of which one you're referring to.
And I was not trying to list all the differences either. In lack of knowing better I assume that what you have pointed out is correct.
