Oh the irony. We spend countless hours trying to keep people from bricking their devices. Not countless hours trying to help actually brick. Just outta curiosity......why?

LOL my old SR was giving me problems and i never could go back to stock because of the comp not recognizing the the phone. It's under warranty so i got a new 1 and i have to send the old 1 back. i just dont want them to see it had been rooted, which voids out the warranty.
heh, nice.

When i tried to flash the ROM it keeps aborting it.... any other way?
Please don't come here asking how to brick your device.
All the hard bricks I read about were from flashing roms that aren't meant for our device you can also try flashing another device's kernel I guess, could do the trick.

I was sending a text message tonight and out of no where the phone's screen turned off and went into a vibration loop. Took out the battery and put back in and as soon as I put in the battery the phone boots up and passes the samsung logo and goes into vibration loop, tried to enter clockwork recovery and it won't work! it gives like a mini CRT-off animation and reboots what do I do? Been running skyics for almost 2 months now no issues. cant enter download mode either wtf!
*edit* I guess I need to order a USB JIG? Not sure tho since I cant enter download mode or CWR.. once I enter download mode when it gives me the warning to "install custom OS" blah blah, and it just reboots itself and then boot loops with vibration.. not sure if my phone qualifies for a soft brick or hard brick.
Which sky ics?
Do you have a device support center near you? I had the same problem running a custom from and brought it there..they couldn't even flash it back to stock because it would boot loop so they just gave me a new one

One before the latest one, UDLD2 or w.e.. so is my phone hard bricked or soft? And I might try to get warranty work done.. I don't understand why this happened tho, doesn't make sense.. not like I dropped the phone a second before it happened

You didn't read the OP post properly. No I can not get into DL mode, it just restarts the phone when it tries to after giving the "custom OS warning"

I think it is the reason. I Have been seeing it on both the t989 and here. I think it's the same bug the note has. Wiping with the ics kernel is making bricks everywhere. It's just starting to happen and be documented on the rocket and 989. That's just my guess, taker it or leave it.

That's the same thing that's happening with the note. Some run fine for a long time, some get bricked almost immediately after. I'm not saying this is your case, but it might be. I'm avoiding the ics leak. I ran it fine for longer than a month, but I'm done with it now.

There's at least one sticky in the note forum about it, should be easy to spot. As far as the 989, I have seen a couple threads with similar problems like you. I'm not gonna hunt them down right now, I'm on my phone

same problem except mine wouldnt even go to the boot logo. when i tried to turn it on it would just vibrate. sent it into samsung and they replaced the PCB and it worked fine,
This is my first post so bear with me lol. I had previously thought about rooting my Skyrocket and had flashed Cwm recovery. I then decided against it in light of waiting for ICS ota and flashed to stock using k0nane tar file so I could receive OTA's. This did the trick to get rid of Cwm and I was able to update to 2.3.6 without issue when it became available via ota. Yesterday (month + on stock 2.3.6) I used a friends T-Mobile charger and turned my phone off for faster charging. The next thing I know I'm in download mode and even weirder I have a 1 on the flash counter and it says I'm running a custom rom.... why does it say I'm on a custom rom when I flashed stock and why would plugging my phone into a T-Mobile charger into the wall I might add not the computer put me in download mode. It reminds me of a jig, but its the standard USB cable ...
Sent from my soon to be rooted I727
it probably went into download mode because when you plugged in the charger you had the volume buttons pressed also there is a flash counter reset zip for our skyrocket so if you flash it in your recovery the counter should go away

I thought the same thing with the volume buttons and replugged the phone in while on and proceeded to shut down and same thing. Its not a big deal and when I went home I tried my old Atrix charger as well as my current Skyrocket charger and the phone simply went to the battery charging image as it is supposed to. As for resetting the count I saw that earlier today in a post by I believe cdshepard or some variation of that name. That will reset the counter but why does the stock tar show up as a custom rom? No problems to note...just curious. I need cwm and flash the zip from SD correct. (No wipes / formatting necessary?)

yeah all you need is cwm and just flash it no need to wipe and i heard that the stock tar in k0nane's thread was modified in some way when i tried it out it never worked so i just used the one from samfirmware.com
The fact that I took the 2.3.6 OTA without issue and it still said custom rom just made me start thinking. Thanks

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:
Sent from my SGH-I727 using Tapatalk 2
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.
Sent from my SAMSUNG-SGH-I727 using xda premium
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.

Don't waste the money, has been discussed many times that the USB jig is not helpful, send it off to get jtagged.

USB Jig did indeed save my phone. (Read back in the offtopic if you want more details.) But in this case here it is hardbricked and will not help. The only thing to do is jtag.
