Hello
Just a silly question. If i flash a Samsung ROM on my One X i would brick the phone but would it load the bootloader or recovery? Any way you can brick those and not recover the phone at all?
I'm asking because it never happened to me yet (hopefully won't)

Come on guys, if he is going to make a new expensive paperweight, he could run it over with his car and call insurance....Dont want that to happen again :fingers-crossed: (Kidding lol)
Just a word of advice, dont flash roms for other phones on the htc one x, thats like putting a bugatti engine in a beater, Just doesnt work that way..I would not try this just to get into recovery or bootloader when you could do it just by holding down power+vol down..why would you want to make your phone an expensive paperweight? Parents should stop giving allowance...

Maybe he is getting another phone. Maybe he wants to "take one for the team" and experiment? If I had another phone, I would flash ICJ on one just to help out with the unbricking process.
Idk, it'd be more like a 225 slant six in a Corvette to me

It won't work. Either the flash would fail, or even if it did flash, the ROM would not work, since the hardware is different. Plus, the partitioning of the memory is different, so if it did flash, there is a high probability that hboot and recovery would be overwritten/corrupted, and leave you with a brick.
Simple rule: don't flash ROMs intended for other devices.

Why are you people petitioning when it's already being worked on? No disrespect intended but the way these petition topics are springing up, it's like you think developers will feel sorry for you, read this and magically give you an application tomorrow. It doesn't work like that, people. Get a grip.

Right on! The only way that devs would be able to give cm or even cwm which are official would be giving them the hw itself. If anybody would be able to give them a sl then petition threats would be more realistic.

Apparently i somehow actually managed to install cyanogen, but now there's yet another issue. When the phone is started up, the first thing i see is a phone connected to a computer, and between the two is a warning sign. What in the world does this mean? Yes, i did plug in the USB cable.
It looks like this; (excuse my horrible use of Paint, but i'm lazy.)

I don't know what it's like to brick a device (thank god), but can you get into into recovery? If so, restore a backup and go to a stable CM7 build, if you weren't on one already.
And did you try unplugging your phone?

1. I don't think it's bricked. I'll try to reinstall the usb drivers.
2. Yes, i can go into recovery.
3. There isn't a stable CM7 build for the Galaxy Mini. The one i have is the latest unstable one. It should work though.
Oh. How fun. Now i've lost the ability to get into recovery. ****ing hope my girlfriend still has that warranty receipt. **** Cyanogen. I'm going to bed.

Since you know that the current Cyanogenmod is unstable , why do you even use it ?
And then now that you ****ed up your phone , all you do is complain .
The unstable versions are just meant for testing and if you install it it's at your own risk .
Besides , you never wonder how many devices want official CM support their phone so that they can taste the awesomeness .

Shouldn't be sorry just because the OP is being angry because he messed up something on his phone.
You say you cant get into recovery mode, but can you get it into download mode?
If so, flash an official firmware version, re-root, then go to your last cwm backup

WARNING!!!
Don't use ROM Manager!!!!
It'll brick your phone!!!!
Don't even think of installing ROM Manager on your phone. All it's gonna do is brick your phone....
So my advice is, abstain from using ROM Manager until they officially support our phone.
Till then, use the unofficial port of Clockwork Recovery Mod by tj_style.
the complete package is also attached with this post.
DO NOT FLASH IT ON FROYO!!!
If you need any further assistance, please continue the discussion here.
Edit (17-8-12)
It seems like adityam533 has found a method to make ROM manager work on G-Fit.
For further details, go >>>here<<<
I didn't read this post and I used it. Now I can't switch my galaxy fit on. How can I repair it ? Help me please.
The only solution for this is to go to the service center and act like you don't know the "R" of Rooting...
Happy Flashing...
the phone is still in waranty.do you think they'll repair it for no money because it is in warranty ? sorry for my bad english.
depends
if the guy believes that you're innocent and you didn't flash any custom ROMs and that the phone was unrooted, you're safe
else, your warranty's voilated and you'll have to pay

You are quite lucky there is one in development or else you'd have been flamed.
If you read, this phone is not the galaxy s i9000. Or the vibrant(T959). This is the T959"V". Every phone has its own development. galaxy s doesn't mean galaxy s 4g.
That's calling the motorola droid and the droid x the same thing. They are 2 very phones.

this has to be the most stupid phone ever , ROOTING IS HARD AND IT WILL BRICK THE PHONE , FACTORY RESET FROM BOOTLOADER IS FOR NOTHING , RECOVERY DOES NOT WORK AND THE PHONE SUDDENLY PRACTICALLY IS DEAD
IT WILL COST ME ALMOST 200 DOLLARS TO RESSURECT IT !
I WILL SELL IT AFTER REPAIR AND I NEVER WANT A ANDOIR PHONE IN MY ENTIRE LIFE !
Rooting is hard and will brick the phone? Yeah... I dont even know what to say...
Dont blame the device because you are too stupid to follow instructions.
The ONLY operation that bricks the One S is downgrading the hboot.
Insert stupid person meme here... Anyways long story short if your to dumb to follow the simple instructions(including a program that will do everything for you) then why did you set out to root your phone? And if your done with android does that mean your going to be an apple fanboy? You'll surely brick your iPhone a lot quicker then you did your one s.

Man, thanks you for that informative and helpful thread! Now I know exactly what not to do to get the same brick as you did. Also I am sure that everyone checks xda before getting a phone. It could be someones first Android phone, and people who never used Android certainly know that one should look up their possibly next phone on xda and read posts like this...
