Bricked my Thrill already

Resolved the problem

bricked mine as well, but i did it with DynamicRam's tweaks that was posted on another forum and confirmed working on the Thrill. Mine is stuck at the LG boot screen and will NOT go passed it.
Ive tried recovering it. doesnt work. Tried the LG Recovery software and sadly it doesnt support the Thrill yet.

Well it makes me feel better knowing I'm not alone, but it still sucks for us huh? I was gonna try the unbricking method for the Optimus 3d but I'm afraid it wont work because it's a European ROM instead of the stock one for the Thrill. I am willing to try anything at this point but I don't have much confidence in this unfortunately.

Hey guys im really sorry to hear about your problem... i also replaced the app_process and system_server files as well as the 99 tweaks no boot animation file... all permisions checked then rebooted... worked great on my rooted thrill already see better battery life !!!
All i can tuink of is u prolly noticed with root explorer you need to click the mount/unmount button to paste the modded files... right after you check permissions u need to click the mount/unmount button again... that could screw it up if you didnt...
I have not heard of anyone getting a recovery working on this yet... i would take it back where ever you got it and tell them its broke... and get a replacement...
Good luck

Thanks for the advice, but won't they see that it's been rooted after they finally figure it out and charge full price on a new one or something? I'd rather be 100$ down and wait out a fix than $600 down total.

i have returned many bricked devices if it wont get past that att screen tjere is no way to know

Trek.. It sounds like he was doing a different tweak. He was editing the build.prop not doing the 99 tweak

That's correct. Sorry that I wasn't quite specific enough.

Cant you atleast enter recovery mode? Because from there the problem would be solvable.

Yes I am able to boot into stock recovery mode. I tried factory reset, clear cache, all those options available but none fixed it.

factory reset i believe does not rewrite the system partition.. only clears the data partition meaning the build.prop you edited, which is in the system partition, and is not going to be replaced by a working one...

i bricked mine the first day i had it. Luckily most phone shop employees dont know the first thing about mobiles. Mine was stuck booting into CWM recovery after an update from LG, i should have read the forums before updating. I just took it back and said it keeps going into recovery and they gave me a new one. I havent installed CWM on this one just to be safe

[Q] Help! Messed Up! Need to reset!

So I'm a noob to all this rooting biz, but had done tons of jailbreaks so thought this would be similar. It's not!
I rooted my phone (Samsung Infuse) and was going to flash MIUI on it. It wouldn't work, so I gave up and went to the 'Download Roms' or whatever section in Clockworkmod and thought all of those would work for my phone.. So I tried downloaded Darky rom, and once it downloaded and flashed, the phone is now stuck on
'Galaxy S'
GT-19000
Samsung
When I take the battery out and go to do a reboot or hard reset, it shows the reg samsung logo for a second then glitches to that galaxy s **** and it doesn't work. I can't even get it into recovery mode!
I have a Mac and I don't know what to do. Please help me asap. I just got this phone 3 days ago. And if I can't fix this myself, will my insurance/30-day return still be valid or will this **** up my warrantee?

use this.

I believe so. It's what everybody uses when they mess something up. I'm in windows. But a lot of here use mac too. Just try it out. Follow the directions closely, and you'll get you phone back to stock.

It WILL work if you do it right. And no because rooting your device or flashing roms voids your warranty.

I believe that after it has done its thing, the phone should have rebooted into recovery mode and showing an option to delete all user data or factory reset. If not, try manually going into recovery mode:
1. Turn off phone.
2. Hold down both up and down volume keys and the power key.
3. Let go of the POWER key when you see the samsung logo pop up. (keep holding the volume keys until it boots into recovery)
4. Now go down to where it says delete all user data or maybe it says factory reset. Something along those lines. Let it do its thing and then
5. Reboot system.
After doing so, you will lose root and all of data. Re-root, add the custom recovery. And READ READ READ. The only roms you can flash from recovery mode is gtg's roms. So check out all roms in the development section here. Read the differences and flash away
I'm currently on miui and I'm loving it because it's very customizable. But battery life sucks on it.

Its because darkys rom is for i9000 and that is i9000 boot screen your looking at...do not try to flash anything for infuse off of rom manager...use infuse development thread.....you should be able to hold vol u vol down(at the same time) and power for about ten seconds and that will put you back into recovery....then if you are in green cwm go to mounts and storage...mount usb drive....and you can download a rom from our thread and put it on your sd card without having to reboot....wipe everything and flash rom that you downloaded...if you have red cwm...go to apply update zip..choose it...and flash it...now u have green recovery...hope that helped..

I'd say keep trying, also does it go into charge mode, with phone off and then wall charger connected?

no charge interface , no recovery interface, i use a external charger to charge the battery, heres a walkthrough...power on normally: turns on shows red motorola M thats what it stays on, Boot into recovery: shows red m screen darkens then i see android with white triangle then ! in the middle of triangle...i then press volume rockers at the same time repeatedly ...no menu pops up at all , i then try it with the search button ...doesnt do anything ...the whole time im seeing android with white triangle then ! in the middle of triangle.. im using a different sdcard (not to sound noobish) but would that make a difference ? if so is there away i can reapply the files needed or adb a recovery?

not currently, after using the ezsbf tool for .629 im at a bootloop i can recreate that error by flashing a .608 sbf if need be..once i have the mem map error i cannot access recovery i dont think i believe itll go straight to bootloader. wouldn't it ?

if charge mode doesn't work, sbf didn't work
reflash 629 or try 2.4.29 then try 629 again

okay ill try to reflash the .629 ill try the 2.4.29 i have no idea what that is btw its a lower sbf correct? i will get mem mapped wont i? ill most likely have to do it tomorrow i have literally been sbfing all day the battery is too low to program. not to mention its like 3:am. but a link or description of what the 2.4.29 is would be awesome do i want to flash this with rsdlite ? then completely power off and see if itll charge right?

yes 2.4.29 is a sbf, yes it will brick, but files will be written
then flash 4.5.629, may work correct
other options
use different usb data cable
usb port
PC
with rsd lite reinstall drivers

[Q] Help, SHG-I727R might be bricked

Hello, I have had a Samsung Galaxy S II LTE from Rogers for three months now and it suddenly stopped working after trying to make a phone call.
The firmware was the Gingerbread 2.3.6 I believe (The most current firmware before ICS for the SGH-I727R)
There has been a history of attemping to install Cyanogenmod 10, but I had Clockwork Recovery installed and I was never able to install Cyanogenmod 10 because it gave me errors.
So I used Odin and an official release from Rogers to restore back to Gingerbread.
A month later, this is where I am at.
Status:
I can boot as far as the Carrier logo before going blank and vibrating every 2 - 3 seconds
I can go into download and recovery mode for 5 seconds before being met with a quick flash of a blue screen.
The phone randomly vibrates when a battery is inserted, when it is being charged, or a combination of the two
The battery needs to be taken out and placed back in before attempting a normal, download or recovery boot.
I also do not know if Samsung can tell, as there is no Clockwork Mod or any left over roms or Superuser permissions.
What should I do? Thanks!

If you do a battery pull and reinsert it, does the phone start to boot on it's own without any button pushs

Sounds like a stuck power button. I'd try pushing it on and off a ton and see if that clears it. Reinserting the battery shouldn't do anything until you push the power button. If all else fails.... Bring it back.

Just show them how it starts to boot on it's own. They should recognize the issue. If the phone never fully boots they can't see what's on there. And if you've never used Odin then the flash counter has never been incremented.

if you restored to stock w/odin then you are fine, it wipes over previous roms/recoveries/rooting and "no one" would be able to see that you had previously installed custom roms or that the phone was rooted.
using odin does "not" increase the flash counter, using certain modified stock firmware like k0anes stock rom which you would use odin to install would increase your flash counter, but thats from an old thread and no one else has made a odin flashable stock rom since then, all the latest recovery flashable roms(zip files) would not increase the flash counter.
you are good to go for warranty repair, maybe wipe your internal sdcard if you can and take out your sdcard

My phone is currently experiencing same problem as the OP. :crying: Please don't tell me bringing it back to Rogers is the only option. My 1 year warranty might be expired already.

A quick update. I went to the store and they said that they would take it. They tried to fix the button with an exacto knife. I wasn't ready to send it in yet so I waited a few hours. I tried again and I was able to boot it properly. So, there is nothing wrong with the software. To those who might be having the same issues, check your power button first before sending it in.
Thanks for the help!

Hi I had a similar issue. I'ts most likely the power button. If you're willing to open up the device and clean the power button area try that.
If you're still under warranty, try to send it in for a repair.
Here is some info on my situation:

its 99% the power button, hearing it click is no indication thats its working as its an internal problem, theres 3 links to the problem in the "info" section in the "1 stop" sticky in my sig . taking it apart to get to the internal contact is one way to fix it, maybe the only way to fix it. if phone starts as soon as you put the battery in w/out touching any buttons then its a sticky/failed power button. warranty repair is also another solution
its 1% for a battery and/or battery contact problem

Yeah, that's what I was thinking. I was wondering what the hell they were doing. It worked I guess, but sometimes it still randomly reboots. I will send it in when I have the time, I'm not in a rush.
Yeah, Rogers acted in an unprofessional manner.

Take it in to Rogers,
I just had mine serviced and returned from Rogers, No problems and free of charge.
I dropped it off to Rogers with TWRP recovery/CM10 still installed, and the reason it was broken was I used a screwdriver to remove my sim card and tore out the sim card slot from the motherboard. Totally my fault. Also, my skyrocket is a used one from ebay, no less. Did not get it new from rogers myself.
Rogers fixed, no problems or cost to me. Rogers kindly restored it to a rogers Firmware, which I promptly removed immediately.

Encryption no longer working

I realized that this should probably go in the CleanROM thread, but as a newly-registered member I don't have the ability to post there yet
My company requires us to encrypt if we want to sync our work e-mail/calendar (Exchange ActiveSync). However, after unlocking the bootloader, rooting, S-OFF, installing TWRP 2.3.3.1, and then installing CleanROM 6.5 (lots of fun yesterday ), the encryption no longer works.
Everything seems to go as normal until the phone reboots and prompts for the password/PIN. I enter the PIN, but then the phone gets stuck on the HTC One boot screen (I didn't have the patience to wait more than an hour though). So I reboot into TWRP, do a factory reset (which fails), and reboot. Once Android is back up (with everything reset), it complains that the phone storage is corrupted, and allows me to format it.
Not sure if there are any known issues regarding encryption, so please let me know if any of you have ideas as to what is wrong. :fingers-crossed:

I experienced this once as well. Never tried encrypting it again after and never discovered the root of the issue.

That is unfortunate I spent several hours yesterday encrypting, resetting, encrypting again, and resetting again... I did some research and tried this solution, which unfortunately didn't work. Not sure if it is an issue with CleanROM or TWRP or ...?

Cwm is not worth using on this phone. I think encryption is broken on cm10.1 lol I start the encryption process and nothing ever happens.

Hmm. How so the encryption doesn't start at all? I'm using a Sense-based ROM, so the issue you are experiencing is likely different than mine. My phone goes through the encryption process (not sure if something goes wrong there), and then Android fails to load after I enter the PIN and decrypt.
I have an important phone call I need to take today, so I didn't want to mess around with my phone too much last night. I'll experiment more tonight and see if I can find a solution. :fingers-crossed:

Im thinking its not supported for the one x. It stays on the encryption process screen for hours and nothing ever happens. Im downloading cleanrom now

Ah. Sounds like I'll have better luck trying to get it to work on a Sense-based ROM.
I plan to try this tonight after work: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=41614856&postcount=620
Encryption procedure:
1.Make a full backup in TWRP
2.Restore your backup - This seemingly odd step will ensure a footer is allocated at the end of your data partition for encryption data.
3.Install a CM build equal to or newer than 20130516 and wipe Dalvik cache
4.Reboot and let phone battery charge to 100%
5.Turn on Airplane mode
6.Settings > Security > Encrypt phone
Be patient, your screen may go black for a couple minutes without indication of anything occurring before a reboot occurs and encryption progress is displayed.

Are you currently using TWRP 2.5.0.0? I tried it briefly, ran into issues with it wiping the internal sdcard, and then just reverted back to 2.3.3.1.

Yeah I couldnt get it to work on pacman rom but I just flashed cleanrom and the encryption process is going smooth. No problems at all. Im also on twrp 2.3.3.1
Its known that twrp 2.4.0+ has issues.

Sweet! You successfully encrypted and were able to unlock/decrypt the device on reboot? Did you follow the procedure I quoted from the other thread?
I'm way too excited to be at work now... I want to go home and try this myself!

Its still encrypting lol. Dont get all worked up yet. When its done I will post again. I didnt do anything special. I just flashed cleanrom and tried to encrypt to try and recreate your issue.

33%? I don't think it displayed the encryption progress when I was trying to encrypt over the weekend. It just showed the green Android puzzle image for a while as it encrypted, then rebooted and prompted me to enter my PIN.
I'll try again tonight.

Still getting the same result... and no progress display. Will keep searching for a solution... :fingers-crossed:

I am also running into this issue with encryption on CR6.5. I have attempted to do the following:
1) Setting up encryption as a part of setting up an exchange account
2) Setting up encryption before any accounts have been set up
3) Following the steps in post #9
In each case, I've seen the following:
I set up a PIN
I follow all of the prompts to enable encryption
Click Encrypt
The green robot image shows briefly
The system boot animation shows (this show maybe 3-5 minutes)
The system reboots into airplane mode
I am prompted to enter my PIN to decrypt
The boot animation displays again
... and it just continues to show the animation
I never saw any indication of the progress of the encryption which I was used to seeing previously.

That is exactly what I am seeing. I might just revert back to stock until a fix is discovered.

Sadly, I went back to the RUU and am now having the same problem. So, I doubt this has something to do with CR at all. If you have the same experience, then we should probably update the title of this thread to be more generic.

I am pretty sure its the unlocked bootloader.
