Skyrocket may be affected with the brick bug?

http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1621679
In this thread, OP states that his rom, and some others may be affected with the brickbug. I'm running Sky ICS, its a fairly recent version (from a few weeks ago)
I'm worried that my phone may be affected (I have the Rogers i727r). Can anyone confirm that my phone is in danger of dying on me? And if so, how can I avoid this.
I used Chainfires app and it said that my emmc chip is probably affected, but I'm reading that bricking occurs based on the the kernel I'm running

No

So I'm safe?

Did you read the threads you linked to? Or this one?
This post has some info.
It seems that the Skyrocket does have this problem, but the circumstances have to be perfect for it to occur.
Since the kernel source code for the ICS leaks for the Skyrocket is not available there is no way to know if the kernel is safe, from my understanding of the issue.

Your question and further discussion would be more appropriate in one of the already existing threads about this. Starting new threads on the same topic just fragments the discussion.

I think you are being hard on OP for no reason. This is a serious issue and I was very concerned. I have read the linked posts and additionally I did some research and here is what I get that applies to me
SGS2 Skyrocket IS impacted
[Edit] All SGS2 SkyRocket recoveries - including one I use Touch recovery to install ROM) are GB based. Source this post
My Kernel is NOT impacted since it is GB(I am on MHX superlite 3.1 GB rom)
.

I have no idea what recovery I use (I know I use Touch recovery to install ROM) so I don't know if condition#2 is met
I have no idea if my Kernel is impacted (I am on MHX superlite 3.1 GB rom)
It would be a great help if some SGS2 Dev explained how it impacts SGS wrt its recovery and kernels. Which are safe and which are not.

Yes Thanks. Additionally most recoveries used except maybe Cyanogenmod ICS recoveries are GB based. So we are safe.

Thank you all for your explanation and help. I can rest easy knowing that I'm pretty much safe

If not reading and searching are no reason then you are correct.
It is important that each user evaluate their own risk and they can only do that by reading the discussions and processing the information in them.

Yes. The i727 with hardware revision 0x12 could hardbrick with an mmc erase if the emmc chip is faulty. The portal has a full story about it, and Samsung appears to be working on a solution. I have been on several ICS roms now, including the oneclick version of the first leak, and have never had a single issue. Running Sky Ice as well, and it is very safe. I would stick to it, at least till Samsung releases the fix. No harm in being cautious till it is solved.

Agreed. risks are taken even with flashing. You can never know at this point.

CyanogenMod 9 Alpha 6 Wifi Issue

Anyone else running into the issue that you cannot turn the wifi radio on? I read somewhere it might be related to not updating the "radio" but havent been able to find anything to download. Any insight would be great!
Also, anyone used the CyanogenMod 10 yet?? Just curious questions thanks!

This ought to be in the general section. You will likely get flamed for violating forum rules.
I will guess you are S-On. Flashing the boot.img in the correct order is important for the WiFi modules to be able to work with the kernel properly. With all respect give the flashing process a close look then reflash accordingly.
Hastily spouted for your befuddlement

No flaming but thread will be moved.
Thread reported
Honestly you should just search the CM9 thread first and post there. Your results will be much better
Looks like arghhh is slacking. Still has yet to clean up the fight that broke out in the very same thread

I'll be a Mod if XDA would let me. I'm on these forums all the time
But if your on A6, try flashing the A5 Kernel. It helped me out with the WiFi issues.

Is immediately driving the thread off topic against the rules?
OP - have you solved your problem? My guess is that you're S-On and you forgot to fastboot flash the boot.img
Unless the wifi drivers in the kernel and in the rom match, the wifi simply won't turn on. There are instructions on the CM9 post about how to copy the rom files out to flash separately, if you want to use the A5 kernel with A6 but it's probably gonna take some digging.
As for CM10 (XMC's VanillaBean) it's pretty stable, there are a few quirks that make it very irritating, at least to me, but I'm still using it because I like the Jellybean!
I would post a link to VanillaBean, but I can't. The link is in XMC's signature, go find a post by him and click it!

I had issues with force closes and reboots after using their OTA Update to Jelly Bean from ICS.
I did a data reset and full wipe and installed JB from scratch, lost root however it is super stable now.

since when was an issue with jellybean or aokp NOT a development discussion i would hardly ask the question in tf300t accesories now would i? So instead of been unhelpfull why dont you go indulge yourself in the forum rules you clearly havnt read them so maybe you should read section 2.1 2.3 and 2.5 of the forum rules i can outline them to you as follows
2.1 Language: XDA is a worldwide community. As a result what is ‘ok’ to say in your part of the world may not be ok in someone else’s part of the world. Please think about who is reading what you write. Keep in mind that what you think of as acceptable use of language may not be acceptable to others. Conversely, while reading member posts, remember that word you find offensive may not be to the writer. Tolerance is a two way street.
2.3 Flaming: XDA was founded as a group of people sharing information about certain mobile phones. Sharing does not involve virtual yelling (flaming) it does involve working together to solve problems in an environment of mutual respect and understanding. Losing your temper and flaming another member, or group of members, is not acceptable behavior.
2.5 Courtesy towards other Members: Treat new members the way you would like to have been treated when you were a new member. When dealing with any member, provide them with guidance, advice and instruction when you can and always with respect and courtesy. Never post in a demanding, argumentative, disrespectful or self-righteous manner.

Because it has nothing to do with development...

I have absolutely no freezes on jb my tablet flies literally. you need to have patients read the forum and take things step by step before you complain. Jb isn't the problem . You just need to learn trial and error till you get things going right.

well its a question about downgrading back to ics so i can use aokp type roms if thats not a development discussion regarding using a custom rom which does seem to pretty frequent in this forum but hey maybe its just an illusion but there is no need for rudeness and swearin from a fellow forum member a polite "this is not the correct forum would of sufficed"

Development pertains to roms, not ota and downgrading.
But you're not alone... Most people I know hate the jb ota... Glad I didn't take it and stuck with cm10 instead.

Think some people just need to re-watch the registration video

Unless I'm reading wrong there is no question in your op or title, so it should have been posted in the general forum. Also has nothing to do with development.

You can. You have to flash the ics blob with the pc tool... That will remove the jb rom and bootloader.

You are mistaken. The only way to revert the bootloader back to ICS is with nvflash, and that does not and will never work with the JB bootloader unless Asus or nVidia release it (which they are not going to).
Check out this post in the official CM10 thread.

I've not had one issue with JB OTA, but my Tf300 was updated straight out the box, nothing at all installed on it.
Its now 2 weeks old and I've now unlocked the bootloader and rooted it, install about 50 apps and its still buttery smooth, with no freezes or reboots.

It seems a factory reset (if your device is old) should help things significantly from what I've read.

well you could have made constructive, helpful posts to help other memebrs until you are allowed to post in the appropriate place.
in response to your inquiry, i cant help. AOKP has been the only reliable CM10 rom for data for me. No idea why, but thats just how its been behaving for me.
if youre AOKP build is before a certain date you should try a newer one. an RIL fix was built in recently for this issue.

I just reboot and 4g comes back full bars. Happened like twice only though. Love aokp!

orthous 6

ok i had orthous 5 on my skyrocket, then i upgraded to 6 just now. dont see any difference except i lost the facial recognition in the security feature. is it just not in there anymore or do i need to reinstall

There is already a well active Orthus discussion thread. Please go there and ask questions rather than starting a new thread.

Well, I just checked and it works just fine on my rocket running 6.
Sly is right though, you'll prolly get more help over in the Orthus thread...Also, if you spelled it correctly.

There lies your problem. Look for the Orthus thread in general started by garydv2002. Usually Gary or mindmajick can help you with any problems you run into. As long as you don't start bashing the dev or rom for one small issue, you'll find an answer to your problem in no time.
