[Galaxy S II General] ricnar456:
from cwm wipe is dangerous, not from stock, samsung circunvent the problem in his stock wipe function and cwm not.

Put one only link to a user who brick with ALL stock.

I read all the forum, this and more forums and in all the conclucion is CWM is not secure from wipe, stock is.

3er party program cannot wipe, if you are not root, not samsung problem again.

If you read this forum, in this same post was discussed why cwm cannot change the wipe function to wipe like stock, maybe 15 days ago.

This is the one only case who brick all stock (read all the post and see the fiasco)

eMMC "superbrick" bug triggered by Stock recoveries, please share!

Hi ricnar456, I'm a new user here at XDA and have not reached the 10 posts so far, so I cannot directly post to the thread I'd like to, that's why I'm sending you this PM with important information. I think you are a reconginzed memeber at that thread so you are the right person to share this message.

In this post http://xdaforums.com/show...postcount=7650 you asked for a sample case in which "superbrick" bug on eMMC chips was triggered from stock ROMs while wiping / factory resetting. Here it is the proof http://xdaforums.com/show...&postcount=140 .

Besides, please share this link http://www.xda-developers.com/androi...d-ics-kernels/to an article here at XDA where everything is pretty much explained and this important remark is made:

Thanks to XDA Elite Recognized Developer Entropy512, we have learned that most devices that are receiving leaks are at a very high risk of never waking up after a flash. It turns out that there is a major bug in the leaked ICS kernel that affects the /data partition in the eMMC chip, which apparently gets corrupted during certain operations such as wiping and flashing. This was originally believed to be affecting only operations performed in custom recoveries such as CWM. However, there have been reports of hard bricks being produced from the flashing from stock recoveries as well.

Thank you very much,

Regards,

have exactly the same problem! Here are the exact steps I took to create these so hopefully others won't do the same...

Installed the Official German ICS ROM - all ok! Installed over stock GB N7000XXKKA ------ 2.3.6 2011 November------- N7000CPWKK3 -----------United Kingdom (Carphone Warehouse), wich was rooted and with Abyss Touch Kernel

Before install LPY i did a factory reset (with wipe every thing), as i read over XDA, i installed over Odin PC, before login i did another factory reset with Wipe every thing, than i loged in, it worked, though a bit slower than GB, i rooted with Ketan methot withoth CWM i played with rom a few hours than i decided to do app restore with Titanium..., and i sleeped, in the morning looked like every thing was restored, but very meny apps that i restored over Titanium gave me FC, and the OS itself was very unresponsive, i thought that is because i restored with app+data option, decided to do another wipe with factory reset with intention of restoring only app without data, so in stock recovery i did wiped every thing, but it got stocked when i choosed factory reset, after some time i pulled the battery..., and after that nothing was working, got stock in boot looping, no recovery, but download mod, and tried to flash different roms GB and ICS through PC Odin, it can not finish the process, tried to flash differnet kernel and it worked, finaly got CWM but without turning on the phone, still bot looping, tried pit, still not working, odin can not finish the process, it does not give any error but it seems to flash forever without finishing, i flashed again LPY kernel CF-Root-SGN_XX_OXA_LPY-v5.3-CWM5, to get CWM, i tried to restore a CWM backup of GB and it worked, that backup was with Abyss Touch Kernel 4.2, wich i get it once the restore finished, still boot looping, tried to format every (not wipe) thing from Abyss CWM (formated data, system, cache, eemc), and i did fine, still boot looping, can not start the phone. I decided to let odin to see if it will ever finish to flash a stock non rooted gb rom...

But i am open to any sugestion. Please help me!

Thank you!

Bla bla bla he restore from CWM and format using CWM this is the one only known case proof of all stock and is a total fiasco.

STOCK ARE SAFE the user who have a real brick from stock send me to my PM.
