First of all: Wrong section
Second: Yes you are screwed, your best bet would be to send it in for repair.

This is why you back up your efs folder before doing anything potentially dangerous.
Your IMEI is on your box.

Wrong section....fail
Return to stock....fail.
You are on a roll!

seriously very wrong, but I cant help but giggle.
I understand the guy posting here though, he's freaking out and the Q&A section is a veritable graveyard of knowledgeable people lol. Just a bunch of us screaming help with no answers from above, sort of like Dante's Hell.

He still got his answer though

Wrong section! But yes, this is strange. Somehow my phone has same weakness. Few times I went back to rooted stock, and every time I've tried to root it, my EFS folder got wiped. I was trying to figure out which ROM did that, but it was never ROM, it was root process somehow :S...

but why do you keep rooting? All you need to do is install loader and then use pre rooted roms.

Because I wanted to try that option, to wipe completely and flash all stock rooted. I did that two times with no luck... Every time my EFS folder got wiped and rebuild :S...

if you can find from anyone an efs backup zip with his/her imei number. and search with an hex editor or something like that. and replace your imei number into the file and flash it from recovery back.
it's just a supposition.

You can't just replace IMEI, because that file is encrypted. Already tried that ...

[Q] (Help!) Hard bricked skyrocket?

Hey guys,
So I have the Galaxy S2 Skyrocket with AT&T and I have it rooted etc. Today I tried flashing the MIUI rom, but was unsuccessful due to a message saying "Installation aborted". So I did as I read to do and wiped cache, Delvik or w/e, and then I reformatted the SDcard to redownload the ROM, however when I rebooted the next time it did not boot back up. Now I have the phone completely dead it would seem, I have tried the button combinations, etc to no avail.
What happened and is there anything I can do?
How can my phone be bricked if I never got to install a new ROM? I can't be without it for too long so any answers would be appreciated
Thanks,
Smernst

When you say button combinations are you saying you tried to get into download mode?

Sometimes download mode can work even if the screen isn't turning on. You should follow the instructions for download mode and see if Odin recognizes the phone.

Well there are symptoms of Brick See below and find ur category!!!!
appdroid said:
Brick → When used in reference to consumer electronics, "brick" describes a device that cannot function in any capacity (such as a device with damaged firmware). This usage derives from the fact that some electronic devices (and their detachable power supplies) are vaguely brick-shaped, and so those which do not function are useful only as actual bricks. The term can also be used as a verb. For example, "I bricked my phone when I tried to modify its firmware.
Hard Brick → When your phone does not turn on at all. When you can’t get in to CWR/CWM Or Stock recovery. You are basically screwed. If its hard brick Here is thread that will help you!!!
Soft Brick → When your phone bootloops. When you can get into CWR/CWM. When You can use jigtag to get into download mode.

UPDATE:
I just went in to the AT&T store and they are sending me a new phone tonight and it should be here tomorrow!
Now, does anyone have a guide to recommend for getting, say, MIUI onto the Samsung Galaxy S2 Skyrocket? I don't know enough about the versions, mp5, etc to do it alone, and a safe guide would really help me
Thanks

Also, if my phone is truly hard-bricked the AT&T guys that I return it to will not be able to tell that it is rooted will they?
Thanks

No att ppl are dumb and they can't even turn on the phone so they won't be able to say that it was rooted. When they ask you anything about rooting just pretend like you don't know what they are talking about.

Bricked HTC One X

Hey guys.....
I tried flashing IceColdJelly on my HTC One X ATT and i was rushing and i just remembered a notice before i rebooted the phone that it says there was no OS something something to this rom and i clicked OK and it attempted to reboot. Now its not turning on at all. Cannot get into download mode or ANYTHING. Don't tell me to try pressing any more buttons because i've been doing that for the past 3 hours. I know my way around phones and this is my biggest problem i've ever faced. I put in the phone to the computer and it recognizes it but has 3 beeps after basically cannot do anything to the phone. I have TWRP recovery on it btw. Basically, its a paperweight. Cannot turn on a single freaking thing. Please help. I cannot thank you guys enough if you can help in any way....
Thanks.

You can recover if you had anything less than hboot 1.14 so if you were on software 2.20 before you rooted your out of luck

Taking the time to research before flashing a ROM that is not even meant for your phone would have saved a lot of heartache:

I have downgraded using JET from 1.14 to 2.20. Process includes bricking your phone to get into special recovery mode that give RW access to hboot, but you do need TWRP at some point I think (not sure though) to get in bricked, before you start downgrade, so you might not be able to downgrade.
However, I don't think you are SOL. Look into manual steps of downgrading here: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=32761598&postcount=107
OP gives you there way to verify that device is connected and part of the steps is listing partitions. If you can get partitions listed on your PC, then I think you can just dd system image and it should come back to life... also have you tried 2.20 RUU? I had a corrupted system partition (bad sector causing reboot when I would try to access system - including booting phone or into twrp recovery). I ended up using RUU (which also failed from the same bug, but It actually reformatted my system partition giving me access to twrp and then I was able to restore).

This method will not work because he's corrupted his extended partition table. All that's left is the write-protected hboot, which the processor can't find because the partition table is gone. So he can't boot into recovery.
People have been working on this issue for a long time and there is currently no solution if you're on 2.20.
To the OP, where did you get a copy of ICJ? The latest version is supposed to contain asserts to prevent flashing on this phone. You can get this repaired by HTC for $150 or something. Or, if your ethics allow it, people have played dumb and gotten warranty replacements.
Next time don't go rooting and romming the day you get your phone.

If there is no ROM loaded onto the phone, as in doing a full /system wipe, the asserts will not work.
The assert that's being flashed looks at the build.prop that's already loaded onto the phone.

And of course, it's good practice to wipe /system when changing roms. I didn't think of that. That's obviously why people are still getting in trouble.

I don't ever wipe /system when flashing ROMs. It gets wiped when you flash anyway. I always wipe user data (factor reset), Dalvik and cache. But that's it.

Yep, if you format /system, the build.prop is gone, and the assert looks to the build.prop.. why it flashes, I don't know.
The way its set up seems like it would only flash if "ro.device=endeavoru" or whatever the line is, is present. I guess there is no fail safe to stop the process if the build.prop isn't present

Yeah, i'll skip the playing dumb idea. I prefer just going straight up to HTC about this. Would i be able to call in to HTC and ask them how much it costs? That is, if they accept these kinds of repairs.

They can fix any software corruption they have the tools too they know their phones front to back and can rewrite anything to them...just tell them what happened and they'll tell you the cost( maybe they'll feel bad and give a nice price) honesty can get you in good places sometimes

Thanks. Will send everyone who replied a thank button. Regardless of what type of comment...... I'll need to check the cost. Hopefully its below 100....

[Q] bricked and terrified 4.3

okay i upgraded to 4.3 OTA and tried to revert back and soft bricked my phone. I still have access to download mode and the stock recovery. I know now that i can not revert but is there any way of getting it back to 4.3 so i can have a phone again?
thanks for the future help.

This is similar what happened to me. I have never done anything with my phone as far as rooting and I tried reverting to stock 4.1.2. In Odin I kept getting the "Nand Start! Fail (Auth)" because of the locked bootloader I guess. I flashed some other firmware that was unofficial with the locked bootloader and now I get the "unauthorized software detected" and I cant do anything but enter Odin download mode. What should I do?

that is exactly what is happing to me. same error and all.

Once you took the OTA 4.3 you got locked in. No way of going back.

I dont want to go back just get rid of the soft brick so i can use it

If you took the OTA and tried to flash 4.1.2 Odin or unlock bootloader you are Hard bricked , no method or recovering it yet.
If you have stock recovery and download mode , only hope is wait for 4.3 .tar file

Theres no custom recovery I can flash and flash some other software or something?

Not to mention it is basically fraud, and is the main reason Verizon decided to start locking down phones in the first place.
I understand everyone is taking risks when flashing custom, and flashes can go wrong even when you do everything right, but there is VERY little chance of bricking your phone if you take your time and do a bit of research before you hit any buttons. And if you do manage to brick your phone, man up and pay for a new phone or pay for it to be fixed. Otherwise stop treating your $600 piece of technology like a toy.

The first time I ever rooted, I was worried about bricking. So i read everything I could find relevant.
Why in the world anyone would flash without reading is beyond me. Every single thread in Verizon Galaxy S3 at least mentions, if not totally devoted, to how bad 4.3 is and if you flash something on it you will brick.
I just don't get it.

If you do a battery pull and start back up in download mode (might take a couple of times to get it to work) then use the Verizon software upgrade assistant it should fix it but you will be stuck with 4.3. Worked for me

You don't mention that YOU returned it to stock, you just said it was stock and unrooted. If it is exactly the way he gave it to you I would fastboot flash the stock 4.4.2 images from google and see what that does for you. You could simply have a corrupted file somewhere.

This being a Nexus you have little or no risk of doing damage by playing around. My original Droid X was always threatening to self destruct if you messed up the tiniest little step. Spending a couple hours learning about and installing Fastboot and ADB will be the best investment you can make. Once you learn to use them the fear of messing something up is gone. You can flash roms at will without worry as you can always return to stock and start over.

Oh thats perfect bro thanks, nice and straightforward. Will see how this goes after school. I just htought it was maybe a radio issue or rom issue so i thought i could flash around and fix it. Also it was only 70 bucks and in mint condition aside from this problem so I didn't think it was a bad deal

Sounds like the ESN/IMEI is bad.

Oh really?how does that happen!? The imei isn't blacklisted or anything and shows up as a registered imei. I tried flashing stock image and still no dice! Looks like I'm doomed. Any other suggestions?

That usually happens when the following steps occur.
The original owner unlocked bootloader.
They put twrp on it and did a full backup including ESN
The device developed a fault so they RMA'd it.
They restored the backup from the faulty device into the new one.
The ESN is device specific and by restoring it onto a different device you end up with not being able to connect to a network.
You can check by going into the about phone menu in the settings. If it displays your imei then I don't think this is your problem.
Have you tried popping the back cover off and checking the antennae contacts

The good news is the parts are worth more than the $70 you paid for it. Find someone with a busted screen and sell it.
