well my dumbass finally did it, i bricked my skyrocket. i had sky ics on it for months and was getting a little tired of it so i started playing with some other roms. i tried a new kernel on it and bam, all black, no vibration, no nothing. any combo of buttons or anything will bring her back. this totally sux for me because i am about to go on vacation and wasnt counting on kicking out the extra cash for another cell phone. just wanted to whine a little folks . thx for listening.

Doesn't look like a skyrocket kernel. Where did you find it? Were you trying to flash a jb kernel on a ics rom? That could brick too.

maybe you might have the same luck as toyes, use a usb jib or "dongle". They are very cheap. $5 and might save you the $50 jtag. Its worth a shot.

So just being bored, i decided to flash a t-mobile rom, via clockwork rom manager, now the skyrocket wont even power on. So thanks Rom Manager for the bricked phone, Bad Buisness....
First sorry to hear that man. Ive never trusted rom manager to flash, I always use clockwork mod. Have you tried pulling the battery and try to get into download mode?

Why would you blame ROM Manager for your mistake?
A. Anytime you flash anything (even if its the correct ROM flashed the correct way (CWM)) you always assume responsibility yourself.
B. You flashed a T-mobile ROM on your AT&T Skyrocket. If done right, it usually works, but it still adds extra risk.
C. You said you were "just messing around". Anyone that doesn't want a bricked phone should take flashing or modifying anything serious...not just messing around.
D. Most of the ROMS you are supposed to flash on the SkyRocket give detailed directions in the OP. Any I have sen all say to use CWM and give great instructions.
I don't see how any of this is ROM Managers bad business? Hopefully this will be a good tale of precaution for others before they brick their phone not paying attention. Sorry to hear about your phone, but take the blame for yourself...not ROM manager.

Thanks. I'm not trying to give the guy a hard time. He just bricked (atleast soft-bricked) his phone so I'm sure he really is pissed. But blaming an app for it when it isn't the apps fault starts alot of confusion. If something really is wrong with an app, we all need to know about it so it can be tested / fixed/ avoided / reported / etc...If the fault is with the phone's owner than the phone's owner needs to take responsibility for the problem and stop blaming the creators of useful apps (and ROMS) for the problems.

It bricked because ROM manager doesn't recognize the recovery on the skyrocket. It's something in the first line of the app.
Although, I might agree with you and blame ROM manager also if it let you flash a ROM while it couldn't detect a recovery. That's just straight up ****ty oversight on the developer.

Try Samsung first. Tell them it just derped one day when you tried to turn it on. If they believe you, it might take a week or two but you'll get another phone. Samsung will just fix it and give it to the next person that has a warranty replacement as a "referbished" unit. They won't lose money and you will get a new phone. That is if they believe you.
still a 200 dollar deductible..i could probably smoose out of it...but i would actually like to fix it my self..just for the experience.....oh and the Rom was called Ziggy and Mobstergunz..(minimal triumph.v1.02..state away from that ****

This is my first post so bear with me lol. I had previously thought about rooting my Skyrocket and had flashed Cwm recovery. I then decided against it in light of waiting for ICS ota and flashed to stock using k0nane tar file so I could receive OTA's. This did the trick to get rid of Cwm and I was able to update to 2.3.6 without issue when it became available via ota. Yesterday (month + on stock 2.3.6) I used a friends T-Mobile charger and turned my phone off for faster charging. The next thing I know I'm in download mode and even weirder I have a 1 on the flash counter and it says I'm running a custom rom.... why does it say I'm on a custom rom when I flashed stock and why would plugging my phone into a T-Mobile charger into the wall I might add not the computer put me in download mode. It reminds me of a jig, but its the standard USB cable ...
Sent from my soon to be rooted I727
it probably went into download mode because when you plugged in the charger you had the volume buttons pressed also there is a flash counter reset zip for our skyrocket so if you flash it in your recovery the counter should go away

I thought the same thing with the volume buttons and replugged the phone in while on and proceeded to shut down and same thing. Its not a big deal and when I went home I tried my old Atrix charger as well as my current Skyrocket charger and the phone simply went to the battery charging image as it is supposed to. As for resetting the count I saw that earlier today in a post by I believe cdshepard or some variation of that name. That will reset the counter but why does the stock tar show up as a custom rom? No problems to note...just curious. I need cwm and flash the zip from SD correct. (No wipes / formatting necessary?)

well that was stupid lol. sorry bud you might be able to jtag it but idk good luck
Yeah, you're hard-bricked. A jig would almost certainly be a waste of time and money. Send it to the jtag guy for $50 or buy a new one, maybe try to warranty it out through Sammy if you want to risk them finding out that you'd been flashing and broken the warranty.
Not to rub salt in the wound or anything, but had you paid close attention and read before flashing, you'd have noticed that you were about to flash an SGS2 kernel onto a SR, and riding full-speed on the train to Bricksville.

Not to be an advocate of noobs... i was kinda confused at first too. BUT never took rooting and flashing as a joke so I read and read... took me a week or so before rooting (already reading up on skyrocket and S2 prior to purchase though) and more than 6 months of reading before flashing Embryo 6.
Rooting is the new cool aid... wish some people will quit trying to be cool and really understand what they are doing. Most noobs just wants to brag that they have a custom rom as though it elevates their standing in life. Geeez.

Is there a ZIP file that we can flash yet for the new "OTA"? I saw this (http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1974114) thread but was curious about a ZIP.

You just use Odin which is pretty simple and the nice thing is it will upgrade to JB 4.1.1 but preserve all your apps and settings.

Uhh be careful. I'm waiting for my s3 back now (tomorrow!), but I used Odin a couple times since I was not rooted and one time I had somewhere to be 1/2 hour after the thing finished and the thread said it wouldn't wipe data, but it did and I was royally screwed phone-wise. Assume it's gonna wipe data and be happy if it doesn't.

I think they are holding it back because the new htc dna will be out with jb. Gotta sell the newest device this time of year instead of updating old ones. Just my two cents.
I got tired of waiting

I can't not +1 you... Totally agree!
I talked to a Samsung rep at my local mall (they have a Samsung kiosk there with all the new products, pretty cool actually) and he said that it would most likely launch with the release of the note 2 (11/29), but he wasn't sure.
I just hard bricked my sgs3. FIRST TIME EVER!! I've been flashing roms,kernels, etc since the MyTouch3.
Little back story.....
I flashed the LSmooth - Linaro 4.2.1 Jelly Bean Rom with CWM6. I noticed that I could not find my nandroid backups. Searched XDA and saw a thread that stated that TWRP is compatible with 4.2.1 and it will move the internal /sdcard from /0 back to its original file location, etc, etc. I went to GooManager, downloaded the twrp.tar (d2vzw), then went to MobileOdin, loaded the .tar file and flashed.
BOOM!!! No power, DOA. dead ass!! :crying::crying:
(( FACE SLAP )) then I remembered via build.prop it was configured as "maguro" and not "d2vzw". So, I'm assuming that since I failed to edit the build.prop before flashing the d2vzw TWRP recovery, it bricked my phone.
-- No power via wall, usb
-- No download / recovery mode
-- NOTHING!
My question is, if I were to call in and ask for a warranty exchange, what is the likely hood of Verizon troubleshooting, reviving my phone and figuring it out that its been rooted?
Or, should I just send my phone to someone that can JTAG it for me?

You can send it to verizon as they'll have no clue what hapoened since a jtag will just be a fresh like new install showing no sing of it ever modified.

I don't have an answer for your question but I would like to ask one. Did the build.prop change cause the phone to brick because it made Goo Manager download the wrong file, Mobile ODIN to flash it wrong/to the wrong place, or something else I'm totally missing? This is just a new one to me and I try to stay up on this stuff so I don't end up with a brick myself. Thanks.

Yes goo manager downloads recovery based on your build prop and such that's why it's always bad at the same time to change it if you aren't careful.

Instead, I called my VZW Account Rep(when i used to work BBYMobile), told them what happened. $12 Next day ....
reason why I didnt choose MobileTech,
1. I am unsure of the wait time
2. I need my cell for work
3. $12 Next day vs. $60-$95 10 Day wait ... ehhhhh
I do appreciate the comment and response, though. Thanks Bro~

I was wondering because my vzw rep was unsure. i was going to invest in mobiletech , but i was unsure about the wait time and not having a phone for a few days to weeks. if it was TMO or ATT, yea I would have sent it because I can find me a prepaid GSM phone and use that temporarily. Oh well, thanks for the response!
Actually, I just hard bricked my s3 a couple hours ago as well! My situation is a little different though! Earlier today I received my OTG cable in the mail from eBay....long story short, this thing just destroyed my phone....turns out I'm not the only one who's had this happen! People, please be careful, don't do what I did and buy a cheap OTG cable! There seems to be some confusion as to whether it's the cable or the phones that are the cause of the problem....just google it.... OTG hard brick.....you'll see what I'm talking about!

Maybe if you need your phone for work you shouldn't be so careless with it. Just saying.

ur good man, i cringe anytime I see a send back to vz related question as this guy is how carriers can justify locking these phones down, or one of the reasons.
not that ethics and the internet go together but what op has done is wrong and it hurts this community.

Happened to a lot and can't even be Jtagged. Burns out the PCIM and non repairable as per Josh at Mobile Tech.
