So you wanted to brick your phone right? Thats why you came on the forums whining begging for help? Surprised your capable of typing a response to me....lmao how moronic 'brah'
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II Skyrocket SGH-I727] appdroid:
I really don't want an argument here the reason for the response like that was cauz you were talking bout my capability when you don't even know me. Something like this don't identify who i m. Chillex!!
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II Skyrocket SGH-I727] gr8hairy1:
No offense, he's not making that much fun of you. Based off what you've told us you did to your phone.......we'll just say that's pretty bad.

The people on this thread are just trying to help you.

Doing anything to your phone that is defined as 'breaking your warranty', and end up ruining the phone, cashing in on that warranty is a little messed up. There's no two ways about it.

We're not telling you how to live your life. But bragging how you cheated a company out of a few hundred dollars is not going to win the respect of everyone.

With that said, if you have any questions about working on your phone, feel free to ask. It would be unfortunate if you bricked your phone, again.

[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II Skyrocket SGH-I727] Vadim89:
I got the same problem.. Hard bricked, won't power on, won't connect to pc, nothing. I'm thinking my only option is exchanging it on warranty. I also have a rogers I727R. And how is that cheating out a company.. Many of those companies cheat us out of hundreds of our hard earned dollars (unless you still get allowance money from your parents) every day. It's a good way of getting even with those bastards that keep on sending me overpriced monthly bills.

PS: I would rather fix it myself so if anyone knows how than please reply asap.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II Skyrocket SGH-I727] the2rrell:
The Companies are not cheating you.....lol

anyway, if your in the same boat....i would say buy a Jig. but i have heard some say that they stopped working if your on 2.3.6, so trading it in may be the only way.

and YES it IS true that IF they are able to get into your phone and find that your were doing something that is a warranty breaker they WILL charge your account.

personally i use bestbuys insurance - if i brick my phone i will just throw it against the wall go into the store and get another one....lol
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II Skyrocket SGH-I727] jvanbrecht:
Honestly, in the end, no one is getting cheated. The bricked devices will end up being sent back to samsung where they will be fixed, and resold as a referb.

No one really loses any money (other then maybe shipping costs)
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II Skyrocket SGH-I727] Longcat14:
Your funny if you think that Samsung loses money.

They have a secondary bootloader for a reason, and that is to save the phone when people think they "bricked" it.

Samsung makes more money selling phones then HTC, Motorola, and LG combined, I really doubt they lose money.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II Skyrocket SGH-I727] appdroid:
Have to agree with Logcat14. Dxtra do you even know how much it cost companies to make a smart phone? it only cost them about $30 per cell phone. Plus as Logcat14 said it helps companies.:D
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II Skyrocket SGH-I727] Longcat14:
Actually, it costs Samsung (because of the amazing internals) about $300-350 to make the phone, and they jack the price up twice.

But when you buy it on contract, your not paying Samsung $2000 for your phone (data plan), your paying your carrier.

Essentially, your being bent over either way, just less with buying off contract.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II Skyrocket SGH-I727] CyberGhos:
How did you figure that? I am not against people trying to exchange their bricked device even it is their own fault, but everything costs and will be passed to consumers one way or another.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II Skyrocket SGH-I727] the2rrell:
Yes but most people end up paying deductables if you got your insurance through the carrier anyway. which is what 120-150 for a new phone. which they would never get if you never damaged your phone. the money there making is already there. they get the money if you never Damage your phone, BECAUSE you pay them monthly. AND they get the money IF YOU DO damage your phone because your getting a refurbished phone anyway that you are once again paying almost 200 dallars for. the money NEVER stops on there end.

sounds like a WIN to me.

so my phone does power on, computer wont recognized, can someone confirm that usb jig works on skyrocket?
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II Skyrocket SGH-I727] silver03wrx:
Yes the usb jig.works on the skyrocket. It wont reset the flash counter but will work for download mode
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II Skyrocket SGH-I727] chiensibut:
so even my phone can not power on or do any combo button?

May or may not. U have to try
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II Skyrocket SGH-I727] mimart7:
Just make sure the battery is charged. I just got a jig the other day, and it works fine. Get a jig, it's worth the few dollars it costs, for a piece of mind.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II Skyrocket SGH-I727] appdroid:
If you got hard brick like i had it won't work. If your screen shows anything than it may be will work. No guarantee.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II Skyrocket SGH-I727] chiensibut:
look like i have to wait until that guy on mobiletechvideos come up with the solution then because i bought the phone of craigslist, man this is really sucks
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II Skyrocket SGH-I727] Barsky:
Thought I hard bricked mine. Would get no reaction from the phone. Seemed I couldn't get into download mode, as the screen stayed black. But, turns out I was getting to download mode and when I let odin start it fixed me up.

The way I get to download mode is I pull the battery. Holding vol-up/down and power, plug in usb cable. then quickly, put in battery and let go on power. iirc, on the Skyrocket I would feel a slight vibration when the usb cable got plugged in. I get the battery in right after that vibration.

In this case the screen didn't indicate download mode, but it was and them got fixed. Good luck
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II Skyrocket SGH-I727] burhanistan:
Ah, yes. The old "I'm a class warrior" excuse. That big company is making tons of money so it's ok to cheat them. It's convoluted logic, but whatever.

I do not recall that. I have Kies installed and I think all drivers, so I generally get detected and installed on those things, when needed.

That was my first thought, too. Just flash what is here in this section. For those of you who bricked, get a jig. In the overwhelming majority of cases a jib will get you into d/l mode. Just flash the proper tar for this device http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=1342348 , and then flash the desired rom from here, http://xdaforums.com/forumdisplay.php?f=1383. Any other roms you're just asking for grief. Please do some reading for you flash.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II Skyrocket SGH-I727] TriC_101:
I just was doing the one click root that was on here and got a hard brick.. and a jig will not work.... trust me.. as soon as the phone shows up as a "qhsusb_dload" in windows its a hard brick.. and before someone says I don't know what im doing I have been flashing roms likey over 100 on my Captivate for over a year with no issues. And a i9000 as well.

In my case rogers sent me a New i727r it rooted fine this time.. im starting to wonder if there is something defective in some of the phone like the i9000m's had when they 1st came out. they had flash mem issues.

[HTC Rezound] WorldOfJohnboy:
So I was thinking today about how badly I want to get Perm Root on my Rezound, but don't possess the skills to do it myself.

I've seen lots of Devs/Threads/Groups asking for donations for working on a solution, but I wasn't sure if what I would be willing to offer would sweeten the pot at all.

I have an available upgrade for a new phone on one of my lines, and I was thinking about offering the individual (or Dev Group) that first comes up with a working S-Off Perm Root for the Rezound with any Verizon Smartphone, current or future. (So, for example, if they wanted, they could get S-Off on the Rezound and then choose the Galaxy Nexus when it is released as their 'reward' device.)

What I would like to know is if any of the Devs/Dev Teams would be interested in this, and if so, please respond to this thread... Of course, I would love a special little something special (become an official Tester for ROMs before the Dev publicly releases them or something similar). I am amenable to something simple as that, though we can work out details after the fact. At this point I just want to see who's interested in this special "reward." :cool:
[HTC Rezound] pwned3:
That's quite an offer. Awfully good of you. I would be willing to chip in at least 50 toward the cause.
[HTC Rezound] SamsungVibrant:
What is S-off?

What exactly is S-off, for those of us who don't know?
[HTC Rezound] J2theMatt:
I'll chip in 50 as well!
[HTC Rezound] J2theMatt:
In their devices, HTC have installed a sort of security check whose level is determined by S-OFF/S-ON. Essentially, this security level is a flag stored on the device’s radio that checks signature images for any firmware before it is allowed to be written to system memory. This hinders using any custom ROMs, splash images, recovery etc., and also restricts access to the NAND flash memory. However, when security level is set to S-OFF, the signature check is bypassed, allowing a user to upload custom firmware images, unsigned boot, recovery, splash and HBOOT images, as well as official firmware that has been modified, this enabling maximum customization of your HTC Android device.

Furthermore, S-OFF also reduces restrictions on accessing the NAND flash memory on the device, allowing all partitions (including /system) to be mounted in write mode while the operating system is booted.

You can count me in for $50. Hell, if needed I will donate more. You can't put a price on the freedom to run the ROM of your choice. I dream of putting CM9 on my Rezound, and getting rid of Verizon's crapware.

He is waiting on a device. I never got e-mailed back, but they tried to tweet to me in the middle of the night last night when I was sleeping and it didn't hit my phone. Looks like Johnboy is going to ship to him. But, with today being Friday and him having to test is, doesn't look like we will have it at least until middle of the week. I only live ~1 hour from Chicago, would have been quicker, but I am sure he needed to keep the phone a couple days.

You did all you could. :)
[HTC Rezound] AtLemacks:
I actually wasn't even trying to contact him, they contacted me(him and 3 others) lol. But if he needed to keep the phone for a couple days that wouldn't have worked for me anyways. I donated my last phone to the dev on the X2 forum porting MIUI and CM7 so I wouldn't have an alternate device.

Oh, and even though I donated my phone, I didn't ask to be special, lol.
[HTC Rezound] WorldOfJohnboy:
I haven't donated anything at this point and I am not asking for anything.

I am done with this matter, apparently AtLemacks just wants to keep saying sh*t about me and I want nothing to do with the personal digs saying I am in it for some sort of glory.

I've tried different SMS/MMS popup apps. Many are very similar and sort of recently found one that almost satisfies me, popup 7, though it has it limits like MMS notifications not working. Is there an app that when you get a message it notifies you like normal in the status bar and when you click on the notification, via the dropdown, instead of going to the messaging app a popup will show for quick reply and such things. If there isn't one, this would be an awesome app to develop IMO.
