this is why we hate DUMB AZZ questions and we all get pissed off. I swear some people should not try and chnage roms unless they have someone baby sitting them. this is not directed towards the OP just dumb questions in general. IF THEY CAN'T READ THE WIKI THEY SHOULD HAVE A NICE PAPER WEIGHT TO PLAY WITH!

You're absolutely right but.... We all were noobs. We've all made mistakes. He needs to read more but we can't get so absolutely pissed every time some one says something dumb. Maybe it should be a requirement that all new members COMPLETELY read the FAQ. This is by far the best forum for our phones and the community here is the greatest. We don't need to be so mean.
I've always been told, that if you've nothing positive to say, then say nothing at all.
If you're sick and tired of all the "n00bs" posting the same questions over and over, just don't reply, there's no need for you to go all postal on their ass, it doesn't improve your epeen in anyway, doesn't make you look superior, just think happy thoughts about their impending brick, and move on to the next thread.
Or heck, break the mould, answer the question again.
And for all the people spouting "read the wiki", the link never loads.

x2, God I was excited for a minute. Dude can't read and posts misleading topics. <sigh>
and than people get mad when we tell them to read the wiki or search before modifying your expensive toy ...
Its been only communicated a 100 times that it is currently not possible to downgrade from this radio ... it locks you in. So have fun until some one can find a solution ...
Now I am not sure but I thought I saw in the sig of Alltheway that he has been able to change the radio.
here is a link to a post of his
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=1869749&postcount=3
It says no more radio from hell.
Man the only thing I hate about forums is how some ppl love to jump all over another. Talk about wasting space. Here is an idea if it was a waste of time why did you waste more posting. if you have nothing to contribute to the thread then don't and when anyone comes to view they will see the one post and the date and figure either no answer or the guy did not read. Or notify a mod to close and send a warning to the guy if it is that bad.
When I saw Alltheway's sig I was curious how he did it but never saw a post on it. I never asked as I did not need the downgrade.
If we all tried to be a little more patient we could all benefit from each other.

He did a warranty exchange on his phone. That's how he got rid of it.
See there you go. Thanks for the info. Do not get me wrong I believe in reading first. My opinion is that not making a 200 page thread on what a $#$#$#$ a guy is for not reading is a waste. Cause there are a few who post and a small % of those pages can have good info but who wants to read 190 that are bashing.
Anyways now I know how Alltheway did it. Just glad I did not.

Wondered how you got rid of the radio.
My USB port is trashed (thanks Seidio desk charger) so it is stuck with OliPof. I was thinking of bricking it just to be sure they would exchange it since they might consider the USB port as user damage. I've got some high field magnets hanging around with nothing to do.

brother if you decide to this, (send it with the broken usb port without bricking it) or if you decide to sent it bricked, plz update it on this thread or pm me, as i am on the same boat as you but im not sure wether to send it or not. im also afraid to receive a refurbished tilt.
this is why i havent done it yet.
that's why you should do your research 1st (and sorry if somebody else did that to your phone, or you acquired the phone in that state).
good thing we've got experts here and there's hope, try this (minimal risk, nothing to lose as you're already stuck with that version of radio - what's the worse thing that can happen) :
connect to mtty to your kaiser (sorry you have to do the reading on how to do that), when you see the prompt, type "task 2a" (w/o quotes) then press "enter", wait until you see "OK"

THIS GUIDE IS FOR ANYONE WITH A GALAXY SERIES PHONE WHO BELIEVES THEIR DEVICE IS "BRICKED," IN A NON-WORKING STATE, IN A BOOTLOOP (CAN'T GET PAST SPLASH SCREEN,) OR WITH A STUCK POWER BUTTON
In no way am I a connoisseur of these android devices, but look around on the forum, I couldn't find any guide for anyone with a bricked phone, or at least for my device, so I'm all you've got.
I'll list the steps that I took in order. My device wasn't bricked after all, it was just the power button, and I'll cover that later.
STEP 1: Stay calm. I was pissed when I thought my device was bricked, but you need to be careful, they aren't literal bricks and they can't take too much of a beating. I emphasize on too much because these devices are quite durable, but don't throw yours through the living room wall because it wont turn on for you. If your device is easily repairable and you break it in a rage fit, whose fault is it then? Keep calm and continue with this guide.
STEP 2: MAKE SURE YOUR POWER BUTTON ISN'T STUCK! DO NOT continue past STEP 2 until you've tried everything to make sure its not the power button. IF, and ONLY IF, you've spent about 30 minutes wiggling that little bastard and cleaning it thoroughly can you continue to the next step. If you haven't tried anything yet, then I'll begin. You're gonna start by taking your device, facing the side with the power button downwards, and gently, but not very gently, tapping it on a table, your hand, something to get your power button unstuck. Tap it on something for about 30 second intervals, trying to turn your phone on in between intervals. If you've done this about 10 - 15 times, then let's move on. We're gonna try what fixed my phone. If there's a possibility that it's still the power button being stuck that's keeping your device from booting, it's gonna be the next thing I talk about. Something is in your button. A sticky substance, I should say. You've gotta clean it out thoroughly, and I have two ways that will work.
Method 1: Go purchase yourself a can of keyboard dust-off spray. Stuff comes in handy for a lot of electronic applications, and it fixed my device, so I'm grateful. Anyway, you're gonna take your can of dust-off spray, and spray it towards the power button on your device, trying your best to get most of the spray in the gaps around the button. Do that for 30 second intervals, powering on in between, etc etc. If that hasn't worked, there's two things you can do. Continue with this method further, or move on to method 2. Continuing with Method 1 requires a knowledge of electronics. You're gonna have to open up your device, by removing all the screws showing under the battery cover. IF YOU'VE NEVER OPENED YOUR DEVICE BEFORE, LOOK UP A GUIDE ON YOUTUBE. I can't really show you a visual, so look for a youtube video on how to disassemble your device. Once you have pried open your device, check out the little white button where the power button lays over. Is there anything sticky on or around it? If so, CAREFULLY scrape it off with a needle or a razor blade CAREFULLY. If there isn't anything sticky on it, spray some more of your dust-off into the small white button. Don't worry if it looks like the spray is turning into liquid on contact with your device, the liquid will vaporize almost instantly. After you've sprayed a decent amount into the button's area, take your battery, and hold it in the position it would be in your device, parallel with the rest of your phone, and touching the contacts. Once you're holding the battery securely to the contacts with one hand, take a pen or your fingernail and press the small white button with the other hand. Does it turn on, and if so, does it get past the boot loop? If you've gotten past the boot loop like I did at this step, then congratulations, you've saved a bunch of money on phone insurance! If your device isn't turning on at this step, and it was turning on beforehand, your battery isn't all the way touching the contacts, or you've disconnected a flex cable. Check for both of those things. If its not either, then you've probably broken your device when you opened it, which isn't my fault. If you're still at a boot loop, try some more spraying and repeat the steps. If you've done this a couple times, and it's still boot looping, continue to method 2, or go on to step 3.
Method 2: Open your device how I explained in the last method. Get rubbing alcohol, and a Q-tip or a toothpick. Dip your applicator into the alcohol, and apply generously to the white button where the power button overlays and surrounding areas. Let it air-dry, or blow it all out, then take your battery, and hold it in the position it would be in your device, parallel with the rest of your phone, and touching the contacts. Once you're holding the battery securely to the contacts with one hand, take a pen or your fingernail and press the small white button with the other hand. Does it turn on, and if so, does it get past the boot loop? If it doesn't turn on after this method, and it was turning on prior, check to see if the battery is all the way in, and check if you disconnected any flex cables when you opened your device. If its not those two things, you've probably broken your device when you opened it, good job. If you got past the boot loop. congratz, you never had a bricked device. I made the same misinterpretation. If it's still boot looping, try this method 2 or 3 more times before continuing.
IF NEITHER OF THE TWO METHODS FOR STUCK POWER BUTTON WORKED, YOUR DEVICE IS PROBABLY BRICKED. MOVE ON TO STEP 3.
STEP 3: Step 3 is just about where I bid you ado. You have a bricked device, and I'm quite sorry for your loss. You have a couple of options at this point.
OPTION A: SEE IF YOU CAN GET YOUR DEVICE IN DOWNLOAD MODE. If you can't get it in download mode, then I'm sorry. If you got it in download mode, YOU MIGHT BE SAVED. I couldn't keep mine in download mode for more than 2 seconds. Once she's in download mode, start up Odin, and boot your stock ROM. NOT CYANOGEN, NOT A CUSTOM ROM, get your stock ROM on the phone ASAP. If you can't get this option to work, move on to the next options.
OPTION B: Take your phone to [insert service provider here] and check if she's under warranty. You better hope, since the other options aren't very bright/cheap. If she's not under warranty, or they're gonna charge you over 100 dollars to replace her, then try some other options.
OPTION C: Get the USB dongle. It'll be your lord and savior if it keeps your device in download mode. Purchase one of these either way, they're dirt cheap and useful as hell. Once she's in download mode through the dongle, connect to your PC, start up Odin, and BOOT YOUR STOCK ROM. NO CUSTOM ROMS. Google your device's stock ROM, download and install it. If the dongle did you no good, then go to option D.
OPTION D: JTAG device wipe. That doesn't even sound healthy, does it? Think of it as open heart surgery for your device, but its a lot safer. Go to bricked my phone . com (I can't post links) they will unbrick your device for a short fee, and it'll be good as new. These are just about your only options. I went to multiple phone repair stores and they denied me service based on the fact they thought my phone was bricked, and mine wasn't even bricked. Get it JTAG unbricked, and you're good to go.
If this guide helped you in any way, there's no need to thank me. Thank a good sum of the community for attracting me to this site, as well as not putting up a guide for unbricking SGH-i727, motivating me to do one. If your device was broken due to my guide, not my fault. You're either a noob at electronics, or you opened your device with a hammer and nails. Thank you xda community for everything you've helped me with device-wise, I'm returning the favor.
Or see vincom's stickies in the development forum.

good post but if you did search you could of found your answer, below is from from the q&a sticky
30) Q. my phone only vibrates, is it hard bricked
A. no, if it has any signs of life its not hardbricked, if you can get it into download mode and install stock firmware, howto HERE , if you cant it might be a sticky power button, read Q#32 and #33
31) Q. will a usb jig unbrick my skyrocket
A. no, only jtag repair will fix a hardbricked phone that has no signs of life, look HERE in the info section for a company
no signs of life(nsol)=hardbricked
32) Q. why does my phone bootloop every few seconds
A. could be a "sticky power button", read the next question and the info section in the 1STOP STICKY
33) Q. how do i test for a stuck "sticky" power button
A. test: remove then reinsert the battery and if the phone turns on by itself and then takes approx 10 sec's to turn off and vibrate then its for sure a power button problem, its stuck, goto the link in the previous answer for a possible fix

The issue being you said the info isn't out there we say otherwise. The guide is not the issue the issue is the level of disregard for the rules in the first place rule number 1 which is search. Had you followed you would have seen you are far from the first to brick nor are you the first to receive answers on the subject. I applaud the effort but again had you followed the rules from the start it never would have been necessary.
Edit: please remove any and all profanities from your posts or I will be forced to report as it is in violation of xda rules.
Edit2: this guide really only covers power button issues so your title is misleading. Also the dongle aka jig does not work for fixing anything on the skyrocket if it puts it in DL mode that means you could do it normally anyway without it. Also if you have access to DL mode its unlikely you will not have access to your recovery partition as such you could just flash a new ROM. Really about 90% of the info is power button stuff the other 10% is either incomplete or incorrect.

First, that comment you quoted want't directed at you. Second, I can appreciate your wanting to help but this info has been covered a lot. And, no offense, but that so called guide basically says:
Clean your power button. If that doesn't work I can't help you any further.
As far as everyone being a noob at some point you're right. It's how I came here for the first time a little over two years ago. I soft bricked my SGS 4G. I looked around the forums and found all the info I needed to fix it. I never posted a single question asking for help. Then I realized all the other things I could do and started to get involved. I still don't ask for help much. WHY? Because the answers are all already here.

Anyone thought of trying Chainfire's method for rooting the Pixel and PixelXL? Do we know if 7.0 has the same odd partitions that he had to work around as 7.1?
We have unlocked bootloaders (at least on TMO) which is a great start. Anyone want to try this and report back? I'm tempted but I'm at work and if I hose it up, I don't have the time to have my phone temporarily unavailable while reflashing everything.
Thoughts?
Have you asked this question in the pixel forum would be my first thought.

Seriously? You're asking somebody to brick their phone because you're at work? Mods should close this thread.

Easy hard charger. I'm not asking anyone to do anything they're not comfortable with. I asked for thoughts, and the questions already been answered so relax. Nobody's bricking anything, Internet Warrior.

On second thought, rereading my post certain does look like I'm "daring" someone else to try it so my apologies for the retort.
Even though the question was answered just read your second paragraph. Not being an internet warrior. Just sounds like an impatient person asking somebody to risk bricking their phone instead of yours "because I'm at work". C'mon now. There's lots of suckers on xda but some of us don't want those suckers bricking their phones and clogging up the threads like some are already.

Look, I already admitted my mistake and clarified my intention. No need to beat a dead horse, alright?

No worries, brother! It happens. Stupid horse...
Funny story: this was attempted shortly before jcadduono finished his verity & force encrypt disabler and started rolling out TWRP betas. Chainfire took some time out of his night to adapt his boot-to-root method to a brave volunteer's V20, and it did work. A custom recovery.img was fitted with a supersu.zip, several files from the Pixel boot-to-root release, and a heavily modified sepolicy; written directly to the recovery partition from a root shell.
