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

It may not say it's in download mode. If you still see the computer icon, it's in download mode. The heimedall may be the best route for this issue. Just flash and you'll see the status bar and the rest details of what it's doing? I no need to worry about getting in flash mode. Just make sure you have the drivers installed.

Yes you can flash recovery over each other in odin . Im using 5.5.0.4 cwm touch and its working fine. Able to do nandroid and fix permissions. This recovery is actually flashed in cwm.

Have you done any mods since, meaning no other flashes of other ics Roms after or in between. My problems all started after i flashed the cwm nandroid backup in another thread. The issues followed me until i did a darkside wipe then did the odin one click and all my issues went away. Im staying here for a while. Did my nandroid backup of this to always revert to.
Sent from my SAMSUNG-SGH-I727 using xda premium
This is one of the known problems that sometimes occurs with the ICS leak and most things based on it. The problem is people that think they have the "know all" answer for a fix because something they did worked for them. Just because something works for you doesn't mean it will work for averyone! So it's ok to say "well, this is what worked for me...", but it IS NOT ok to tell others that it is an overall fix or that they did something wrong because it didn't work for them like it did you.
What I have found is that everytime you flash the ICS leak (or related) you might get different results, so if you really are interested in trying to get everything working, just keep flashing until it does. It might take several tries, but keep trying. This seems to be the case for many people, but I cannot promise it will work for you.
I experienced similar results, first flash was lagged to insanity. however second flash fixed this and restored the home button funtion.
The only other thing i did after the first flash was a factory reset, which in my case fixed the home button issue. Not sure if it was freezing prior to that. I may try the cache thing but its not a burdensome enough issue to reflash again. too many workarounds to redo everything again..
Didn't realize this was so common when i posted this thread..thought it was random. Now if only someone could delete it...

Same here, though I haven't tried them all, I just went back to stock, manual debloat and a couple other mods and it's good enough for me, at least until we get real CM9 or AOSP roms.
I'm really not the type to wipe my phone and flash a new ROM twice a week. I'd rather just have something that's stable and functional, and only upgrade for big stuff.
I didnt have the shutdown problem the first time I installed the original ics leak install.
But I did after I restored a backup of it.

I've been rooting phones, flashing roms, and even flashing others phones to different carriers for, 5-6 years now I'd say. So, I know what I'm doing.

Downloaded the latest twrp recovery and it automatically booted into recovery and flashed the image. Endpoint...hard bricked.
Just be careful with goo is all I'm saying. I never confirmed it to flash the download and it didn't even ask. As soon as it was done dl'ing it just did it. I knew instantly it was going to be problematic. Because it wasn't actually the twrp img for my skyrocket. I was downloading it to use on another phone and transfer to my computer.

I am not sure why someone that has been doing this for years would put anything on the phones memory that doesn't go with the phone for any reason. It seems like half, if not more, of the bricks that happen are because of the wrong thing trying to be installed on the phone. Knowing that, it seems like a good idea to NEVER put anything on the phone that doesn't go with the phone, if you plan on using it or not. I guess this is just another precautionary tale for others now because if you really are hard bricked then Jtag is your option. Assuming you have already tried download mode, Odin, etc...Anyone doing this as long as you would have already known to try that stuff first...right? Good luck.
I got into a similar problem with goo manager. Ended with hard brick. Will never use goo or rom manager. Odin and twrp or cmw are the way to go. And never, ever flash anything unless you know it's for your device. That was the problem with goo, it said it was but wasn't.

You know you can force a reboot of the phone during the download by holding the power key or pulling the battery, right? If you knew what the file was, why didn't you do that?
I've downloaded ROM files hundreds of times through GooManager and gapps files at least a few dozen on three different phones across two platforms (Rocket and Note II). I've also flashed recoveries through it more times than I can remember. It's never once caused a problem, downloaded the wrong file, or even soft-bricked me.
I thought you couldn't brick a phone by a botched recovery flash. Because it's only writing to the recovery partition and not the system. Just what I once read anyway.

I didn't know it was the wrong file until after it installed. It was supposed to be a gapps package that went with the Rom. I't didn't look right and I should have known better but I went with goo.
Just reinforces you should always know that what ever you flash make sure it's for your specific device.

I'm no noob. I was downloading the fIle. Not flashing it. It flashed on it's own INSTANTLY after it finished downloading. Without asking. It never did that the dozens of times I downloaded stuff before. So, there.

And yeah, I've learned to do things the old fashioned way. That's what. Based on the type of responses here, I see why some others have bad impressions of XDA members. Think whatever you want. Just sharing because it sucks. Guarantee you I know more than most of you who replied. Unless your a developer, lol.

I only used goo manager to flash touch recovery on and I have had no problem with it..werid..
I did copy a recovery on my old SG Europa and it was the wrong one and bricked it,lucky I was able to get a replacement. You learn from your mistakes.
I have been there..
...Another thread resurrection? Seriously? Good lord.

Hey guys, I'm not only stunt but also dissapointed. Not only CM 4.2.2 has some old OS icons but also it can't execute the apps I had on 4.1.2 and repeats the same word not twice but THREE TIMES if I write fast... I will go back to the official JB 4.1.2 but I have only one question. All I have to do is Open Odin, Place the Stock 4.1.2 on PDA, Place the SG II on Download Mode and Start?

the more you read the more you know and learn.
the answer "yes" to your question would probably lead to more questions posted, most of the answers are in the stickies, for this sr forum anyways

Well, I was not able to downgrade to 4.1.2 Vincom... Unfortunately Odin did not worked out as expected, and when I tried to do it through CWM, I was not able to downgrade it for some reason... It just said "Installation Aborted". Luckily I was able to reinstall 4.2.2 at least so my SG2 is working at least...
Odin in cwm?

No, First Odin, didn't work. Went back to 4.2.2.
Then CWM and didn't work either.

Do you think CM 10.2 could work better? I'm really worried because YouTube shuts itself, Google Chrome stopped working and battery doesn't last!

That's what I've been trying to!! I spent the whole day on the damn computer trying to go back to stock but I can't! When I use Odin it gets stucked on AT&T logo! After 10 minutes I decided to go back to 4.2.2. Then I tried with CWM but I don't know why it said "Installation Aborted"

Ummm well... I fixed it, it seems the stock firmware I previously downloaded was damaged, for some reason it was booting 4.2.2 instead of 4.1.2... I am stunt, I really don't know why, but a friend came over with his SG2 and in just a couple of minutes I was able to be in 4.1.2...

this doesn't explain anything, and it's spelled "stunned". what you needed to do to avoid random problems was to read the stickies. you wouldn't be "stunt" and you would know what to do in the first place. it's really not that much reading and the best part is: you'll actually know what you're doing. :good:
