[Q] samsung galaxy s4g brick help

alright so i had one of my friends who has the vibrant on tmobile help me root and install darkys rom on my phone. since i had no idea i just let him do it since he has it on his phone. we rooted it use the onesuperclick. we took off the bloatwear and then put the rom on the sd card loaded it up in recovery and did the recovery then installed it. my phone hard bricked. nothing comes up or no download mood nothing even when pluged. but no worries i just send it to tmobile. but i wanna know if anyone can give me a guide to do this step by step so it dosent happen again when i get my phone back. thanks

The vibrant roms do not work on the 4g....until they are ported to 4g with the proper mods made to the rom they will cause a brick everytime

1. no matter how much it looks like it, the s4g isn't a vibrant. there are as of yet no custom roms available.
2. people like you and your friend are the reason carriers and manufacturers are going towards more restrictive ability to root and signed/encrypted bootloaders

theirs no roms for the 4g?

nice post for someone with 4 posts total.... reported.
Really though, when carriers stop insuring phones, this will be the reason why....

i had the same hard brick problem as above but for me it was weird. all i wanted at the time was to get rid of the bloat where and i did after which i unrooted and the phone worked fine. the weird thing is later i went in to download mode by accident and before i could do anything the phone was bricked. tmobile replaced My phone but if this has happened to anyone else please reply

I searched the forum and found this http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1092021&highlight=stock+rom
Finally I was able to restore it back to stock.
I got one question but not sure if this is the right one.
Phone is rooted and installed Rom Manager. Once I clicked Rom Manager, it asks me 'confirm phone model'. I don't see samsung infuse on the list but only
Galaxy S Fascinate , Vibrant, Captvate, Galaxy S4G, Si9000. Which one I should use?

I tried to be nice, but that's what I get. You're just not getting it. Post your questions in the Q&A. There are many people there that will be more than willing to help you out.

Phone Reboots during any Calls [Tried SD Card Method]

Hey Guys, I have the Samsung Galaxy S 4G updated to 2.3.3. My phone will randomly during each and every call I have reboot. This is annoying as hell. I've Searched around the Forums and noticed that people have said to remove your SD Card for 24 Hours. I've done this yet the problem still is here.
Will upgrading my Modem/Baseband to something like KI3 fix my problem? Thanks.

the 2.3.3 leaks are crap. Go 2.3.5.

Yeah but all I've seen is all these Custom Rooted Roms and such. I'm stupid with those CWM and Rooting and such like that. I just want the 2.3.5 Stock. I don't want help with trying to get those Custom ROM's even though I do want them.

There is no stock official release if that is what you mean but you can Odin a leaked rom. Their stock.

Downloading it right now. Where do I put what? Thank you
Edit: I see a DLL and a MD5. All I have to do is just Put them in the Correct Area and Flash? None of that Rooting or VooDoo CWM Junk and such? Just Odin and Use? Right?
Edit2: I'm looking and it seems like a ****load of people are having WiFi Problems? I don't want those...

I know, some have tried the other roms for the other variants. but only wound up messing up their own tab. And the restore tab is for AT&T international version and even though it does work, it isn't all in English. The closest one is for Tmobile, but TMO doesn't have LTE, so you could kiss it goodbye. Probably why not many have tried it. It's a shame that the Dev's don't want to own one, I have dumped my rom also did a CWM backup of my tab. But since there is no one to work on getting us a JB rom, we have to wait for the update from AT&T, if they ever do it.

I'm sure at&t won't release anything soon

Regrettably I have to agree with you. Either way, this GT2 is 100% better than the Jetstream....

any roms yet for sgh-i497
Quick question..I have searched high and low for custom roms for my sgh-i497. Are we still waiting?
Thanks for the replies

I would also like to know this answer... I'm just starting my research on Rooting and installing a Custom ROM on my device.
I've found a few other sites that give you ROM's....

http://www.thegalaxytabforum.com/index.php?/topic/16585-custom-rom-for-att-i497-p5113-solved/ Not sure if this is an Original ROM or not.

http://nasirtech.blogspot.com/2013/12/vlamj2-412-jb-official-rom-att-galaxy-tab2-10-1-sgh-i497.html
But I didn't know anything about what they were talking about in the above replies...I hope there are some ROM's as this Tab is constantly Freezing and slowing down... I hardly have anything on it and constantly keep clearing the Cache in the Recover Boot area... I was hoping a Root with a custom ROM would help me out.....

Anything new?
Figure this is so old that if nobody has done one by now, it never going to happen.

I don't think there's a custom rom for your device...

Can I flash a Vibrant ROM onto this phone?

Like in the title, I know the phones are extremely similar so can I flash a vibrant ROM onto the gs4g and vice versa?

You will get a higher risk to bricking it.

100% brick.

Can you? Yes.
Will it work after? No.
If you've applied the unbrickable mod to reverse booting order, can it be recovered after? Maybe.
Would I risk it for a guaranteed non-booting ROM? Nope.

All in favor say.........Hell no!
