[Q] Anyone can help, Atrix2 is now soft brick

Yesterday i rooted my device , and when i try to replace some Apks in system/app ,it crashed and reboot. it was on the boot screen ,the motoral logo,then it reboot again an again. i can't find any fireware to flash it back.so can anyone provide me any way to help.Thanks a lot.

you deleted something you shouldn't have...
only option is if you can get to the lock screen, you can adb push the files back. if not, pull up a seat on the park bench to wait for the factory flashtool bus.

I think I know who you are.

First off, are you trying to modify or root any of the software on your device? Second, Have you tried loading the recovery rom by pressing down and power and hard resetting the device and restoring it to factory defaults?

Ok, one step at a time...
-did you flash a tmobile rom on your skyrocket?
-if you did, did you also flash the t989 skyrocket converter patch?
I'm assuming you have a computer. In order to fix your phone, you will need Samsung USB drivers, Odin and a Stock ROM tar.
Before you even start, take a few breaths, and READ all the instructions.
USB drivers can be found here:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=961956
Odin can be found here:
http://www.mediafire.com/?u868rqz4qn0ta34
Stock Syrocket ROM tar can be found here:
http://dl.dropbox.com/u/144478/Stock%20Recovery.tar
Read all the instructions carefully. Take your time. If you still can't get it figured out, let me know.

Stop flashing stuff
Look in dev section
Your not reading or you would see instructions to root. Add cwm and everything u need. Theres even guides called noobs guide that tells u how to do everything. So no sympothy. Because you are not even trying to find the answers

I've got root and cwtouch recovery from reading here..I do appreciate everyone's help..thanx.

i agree. New users should read everything before doing anything. I was silent stalking this forum for at least a month before i posted. And ussing the search feature never hurts either

QHSUSB_DLOAD mode brick

So, i bricked my phone trying to update recovery. No power, nothing. Except, when i connect the device Windows recognizes as qhsusb_dload device. I found the drivers and can get Odin to recognize it, but i get stuck at setup connection when i try to flash. Does anybody have any ideas on what to do next? It's there a different tool i need?
I am in Linux running xp in a vm if that make a difference... oh, Linux doesn't seem to recognize the device...

I as afraid you was gonna say that...lol
The bad thing, if it were and HTC then it could be unbricked... I'm going to look into how it is done and try to make one for the skyrocket...
But luckily my sky is still under warranty so I'll just send it to Samsung...

So you can't get to dl mode? ie plugging in the usb cable after holding down the volume buttons. Remove and replace batt first. Cable into computer only.

Thomas you've bricked it man. Have you tried talking to Adam Outler or Bhundvyn about trying to figure out the unbrickable MOD on this phone? Worth a shot as it would be a really nice mod to have. lol Pretty sure Adam would be able to jtag it for you as well. What recovery where you trying to flash?

Hey hech... nice to see you man...
I haven't talked to Bryan or Adam yet. I'm just going to send it to Samsung...

Trying to flash just the stock ICS recovery? I didn't even know you could do that without flashing the stock ICS ROM as well. Assuming you actually can and that's not what bricked you, I'd love to keep that piece of information in my back pocket for future applications.

holy hell this is the exact issue i'm having right now. though I didn't flash anything, change anything or anything like that. see my thread here: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?p=32403455
i remember the night it happened i plugged it in and was able to get the QHSUSB_DLOAD to pop up but never could again and couldn't remember what it was called.
please let me know asap if you come up with a solution or need a tester or anything from someone that happens to be in the same boat.

This is exactly why I never use goo manager or ROM manager to flash any thing or download any thing to many times have I read about ppl bricking because of these apps.

Did the same thing to mine, except I was downloading a recovery for another phone. Wasn't going to flash it off course, but GOO did it automatically. Hard bricked my phone just like yours. If it is still under warranty take it to AT&T store. They'll replace it for free. Don't worry, they won't be able to flash it back to stock or get it to boot either. Just play dumb and say you tried to start it up after charging and it just wouldn't turn on. I was in and out with a new skyrocket in less than 20 minutes

I don't think it was all goos fault I've had it flash before so my guess is you guys did something wrong.

[Q] Which rom is better for Galaxy Mini 2

Well... I know this question will be answered in this web, but I canot find it...It's true.. sorry...
I have been looking for a good rom for Galaxy Mini S2, but I don't find anything. I know it is not a great mobile, but when I bought it, first-hand, new, without install anything else but whatsapp..... My mobile goes horrible. I tried a hard reset, and I got the same. So, I think the solution is a rom. But which one?
I'm thinking in CM10 but I don't find my mobile between supported devices... What do you suggest me?
Thank you!!!

Comparing ROMs is not allowed here in xda... sorry bro!

Really??? I don`t understand why. I just wanna know which rom is "supported" for my mobile. I see CM doesn`t. But another one?
I can't also find in this forum a rom list which I can read to choose the best for me.
Thanks.

first.. the solution to your problem is NOT THE ROM! its not a thing to play wid... remember there is a risk that u might end up with an unusable phone is the flashing fails... Try a clean data/cache/dalvik cache via cwm and then give it a try... if u are still under warranty then dont hesitate in going to authorised service centre... i would also suggest u to FREEZE all unwanted apps... ONLY APPS! not SYSTEM SERVICES!
