It's virtually impossible to brick this phone guys.... There is almost always a way to save it.
[Galaxy S II Original Android Development] kero^:
Damn I just read about the hard brick that I got, I am going to send it to T-mobile and just hope they blame it on the motherboard, because there is no fix for it.
[Galaxy S II Original Android Development] alcurtis93:
Can you really not fix it?

1: recovery (key combo)

2: download ( key combo)

3: ADB

4: JIG

This bricking business is weird. I had a copy of the supposed bugged RC6. Made a nandroid backup. Performed a factory reset. Set up dual boot with slimics and had no issues whatsoever. Weird indeed

I just plugged the JIG and going to leave it like that until tomorrow I wake up and hope I see that download screen :P

If nothing happens, than I am going to bring it to the phoneshop where I bougth it. If t-mobile refuses to fix it than I will sell the phone for parts and wait for the SGS 3 :P

[Galaxy S II Original Android Development] kero^:
I think its time to warn people for dual flashing at this moment. People are bricking their phone with the latest kernel rc6.

BTW Gökhan what do you do when this hard brick happends to you while you are testing your kernel? Just curious.
[Galaxy S II Original Android Development] Roger00:
Here's a guy in Portugal doing it via ebay, I bought the jig of him a couple of weeks ago, and I had it very quickly. I also bricked my SII earlier today while doing factory reset with cmw.

[Galaxy S II Original Android Development] Android-Jeck:
I trust thee still

To those, who blame Gokhan...:mad:

After the today's unpredictable problems, you can only explicitly point to the dangers of modding and that one alone bears responsibility for everything, if you still try this and it goes wrong! I don't know if many of the other kernel devs here would have found the error as quickly, or at all! In such a situation there shows real class! He has my confidence now more than ever!

Therefore, I have left also a small donation. He should stop :eek:, it was thanks for everything so far done. Else also likes motivation for the future...

---------- Post added at 01:23 AM ---------- Previous post was at 01:19 AM ----------

He has long been deleted the DL for the RC6...:confused:

Can anyone tell whether it is safe to Flash via ODIN? Or can there arise same problem?

EDIT: Flash with Mobile Odin without wipe works fine
[Galaxy S II Original Android Development] naveediftikhar:
seems like a cool language..unfortunately i dun understand any of it...infact iam even surprised u pulled of writing in that font in the first place :P...still jokes!:P lolx..!!..jus lightening the mood up after all the emotional breakdown gokhan has faced :P mate it aint ur fault..now i knw its easier for me to say coz i didnt brick my **** but still ppl the dude even after all this cant figure out what koreans screwed up wid :P..it aint his fault..its jus nature telling u that gs3 is the way to go :P
[Galaxy S II Original Android Development] kero^:
I think people don't have the right to blame Gökhan as he is developing something new which is not backed up by samsung.

I think people are looking for a clue to fix their phones and warn others about the issue that the risk of bricking you phone is very high at this particular moment of the kernel development.
[Galaxy S II Original Android Development] shawnaye:
I might be on the dangerous version of rc6 and I'm trying my best not to flash anything till absolutely safe.

But i have to ask, if I want to flash 3.1 over my rc6, should I use the kernel cleaning script?

Because that wipes some partitions and I'm afraid I might brick my phone by doing so.

Currently dual booting Wanam as primary and hydrogen as secondary.

Regards.

Shawn.
[Galaxy S II Original Android Development] hellsgod:
Use Odin to flash 3.1 so you don't have to go to the recovery.

hells
[Galaxy S II Original Android Development] Vaedryn:
I think the best and safe way to update from the bad rc6 ( 21.04 reupload with Korea source ) to 3.1 is flash the 3.1 tar via. Odin.

Just having a quick read about this kernel bricking issue,

Im new to the SGSII and have the

3.0.28 Siyah -v3.1rc6+

gm@gm-mint #70

Kernel installed.

Is this the kernel that can brick your phone, or is it ok?

Also whats the best way to update this kernel to the newer/safer version please, if its the affected kernel.

Thanks.
[Galaxy S II Original Android Development] Ramelov:
I confirm. Everthing works fine on the latest CM 9 Nighlty. Only in recovery sd cards are mounted the other way round than in CM 9 Recovery. I have my "storage configuration" ticked in settings so my internal card is mounted as sd card and external card is mounted as emmc. Then in CM 9 recovery "choose form internal card" leads to my external card" and "choose from card" leads to internal card" whereas in Siyah Recovery it the other way round which means it's ironically proper :)

I flashed Siyah 3.1 over 3.1 rc6 through CWM without any problems.
[Galaxy S II Original Android Development] BrandoHD:
Just update to the latest version, don't try to wipe anything
[Galaxy S II Original Android Development] Orka82:
Could you try without your sdcard? I don't have one you see.

Mount internal as /sdcard works on stock CM9 kernel but not with siyah. The problem can be easily reproduced on my phone.

Our right. But fighting it is a waste of time. Look at the cm9 thread. Over a 1000 posts. Half stupid questions. Half flaming. One is just as bad as the other.

As fot the other thread. What the harm in trying it. Good luck to him. I think ts a good ideA Because it will keep people away from here banging on about boot loop and eta's. Worth having it to see if it proves useful.

[Galaxy S II Original Android Development] eric-filth:
You use same values from GB in ICS using siyah beta 4?
[Galaxy S II Original Android Development] gabx:
I already see some user questions being bounced between the two threads, so I think it can help. Furtermore, communication between the two devs are not, let's say, very friendly (MTP issue as an example), and users can sometimes pay the bill.

If nobody cares of this thread, that's OK and let it die slowly and end its unuseful life in the last pages of the Forum!

Btw, i asked to move it to the General section, and it has already been moved.

Thank you for your warm support!
[Galaxy S II Original Android Development] digeddydogg:
For what its worth, IMO its a good idea. And worth giving it a go. About to subscribe to it. Hope it goes well.

rice and pea(ce)
[Galaxy S II Original Android Development] gabx:
Happy to feel a litle bit of fervor. The thread has been moved to the General section, as it is the correct place for it.

I have known this kind of special situation with CM7 and SyiahKernel, and there is sometimes no place to go. And you are right, the idea is to keep people away form the "JUNGLE".

Peace.
[Galaxy S II Original Android Development] Karpfenhai:
I think so , b/c on GB the kernel itself did the job (Phenomenal) but i tried to copy the values (loadh et cetera) also GPU undervolting works fine.

[Galaxy S II Original Android Development] jim-bo:
There are not many devices out there that will ever draw more than 500mA from a USB port - any standards compliant device that is capable of drawing more power should have a way of determining if it is on a USB port or some other charger (as the S2 does).

I have never seen a PC motherboard damaged in such a way, though I have (occasionally) seen USB ports blown out on motherboards due to "reasons unknown", so the risk does seem to be pretty tiny, especially on a good motherboard, but still, you asked what the risks were, and now it is your choice.

When it comes down to it, you can charge your phone fully from 0 - 100 in about 6-7 hours from a PC, or a lot less if you're just topping it off - is the couple of hours you could save that important, that you can't just go out with a phone at 85%, or plug it in a little earlier while you're at the PC?

[Galaxy S II Original Android Development] Cristiano Matos:

[Galaxy S II Original Android Development] gokhanmoral:
wow! pages of posts :)

this kernel will reach 1million viewcount sooner than the previous one...

I am very busy today and I will be very busy until the weekend.

I am testing beta5 on my phone now.

I have added touchkey lights and freq scaling problems into known problems list (OP) and I will try to fix them first.

I also noticed another tiny bug in GPU voltage control in beta5 and that will be fixed as well.

then I will release it.

kjetal advised me a nice and good build of cm9 and I hope to install it tomorrow. and I hope not to come back to a samsung rom in near future...

that's all for now. I have to go back to work.

[Galaxy S II Original Android Development] chubby65:
You've nothing to be sorry about mate we all know the risks of bricking our phones everybody that flashes custom roms and kernel's are responsible for their own devices
[Galaxy S II Original Android Development] BrandoHD:
Doesn't matter the choice and consequences are your m8
[Galaxy S II Original Android Development] Goku80:
wow just read the thread and have to say i feel for those who have bricked their phones. i could only imagine what you guys are going through. but unfortunately those are the consequences of flashing roms and kernels. although everything is safe sometimes you just never know. unfortunately it was one of those things.

hope you guys get it fixed. And i hope GM this does not put off GM, as i know he feels bad for those guys and if he could he would do anything in his power to help those who have bricked their babies. but i hope he carries on developing cause he is the best damn kernel developer i know. Sorry to all the rest of the devs out there i respect your work and all but what GM has achieved is amazing...

80% of the time when i send my s2 in for fixing i had custom firmware on and kernels and my binary count was like over fifty. and i still got it fixed with no extra cost. so it is worth taking it in to customer care and just say it was due to a bad battery or something. they do not need to know what the real reason was..good luck to all
[Galaxy S II Original Android Development] MaKTaiL:
Hi guys, I'm using stock LP8, no root.

If I flash Siyah 3.1 through Odin, will my phone be rooted too?

Or do I have to flash CF-kernel first?
[Galaxy S II Original Android Development] BrandoHD:
You will be rooted
[Galaxy S II Original Android Development] :
Siyah provides auto root.

By the sounds of what I have been reading, if you flash the wrong version ,

You will DEFINATELY be rooted!
[Galaxy S II Original Android Development] dodgypast:
Because its always smart to flash a kernel that the dev has already said could be incompatible with your current roms.
[Galaxy S II Original Android Development] punkmonkey1984:
So what is the latest kernel thats been fixed then?

on the APR 20 13:35 EEST 2012 at the moment.

[Galaxy S II Original Android Development] jeffnz:
OK well done a lot of reading but still confused as to solution if you have rc6 but not done wipe or reset which is my case. I flashed rc6 about 20 hours ago but no wipe etc so all is fine at moment.

what I need to ascertain is where to now. Does refashing differ ant kernal fix this? or does it need doing through Odin. Or can I just restore back to last backup.

Hope that all makes sense :)
[Galaxy S II Original Android Development] toinktoink:
i am VERY VERY much confused with this thread, haha!

anyway, what is the "bad" kernel these people where talking about. is it 3.1rc6 or the latest 3.1? im very much confused. :confused:
[Galaxy S II Original Android Development] antt00:
The last release RC6 with the camera FC bug. The link had been removed. Final 3.1 should be fine.
[Galaxy S II Original Android Development] Pigmachine:
Bad kernel is the last RC6

3.1 Seems to be in the clear. If you want a kernel from the 19th 22:05 here is my link http://www.mediafire.com/?e0096uxd08d7x0s Don't kill me if you get bricked.. but open the .zip and verify the date and time
[Galaxy S II Original Android Development] toinktoink:
could you further explain the camera FC bug?

im on hydrogen and using RC6, haven't encountered any FC in camera.

only problem i encountered is my menu/back isn't working, and dont know if the digitalizer died or other things.

EDIT: what's the build date of this RC6 that is said to be bad? im using RC6 with build April 18
[Galaxy S II Original Android Development] antt00:
That is a safe to use RC6. Only the last RC6 is bad.
[Galaxy S II Original Android Development] toinktoink:
im using RC6 with build from april 18, didn't know there was an RC6 last 20th. Thanks
[Galaxy S II Original Android Development] luexi:
It seems that front cam random FC(after snapping a pic) only applies to CM9. :)

[Galaxy S II Original Android Development] MaKTaiL:
Hi guys, I just flashed Siyah 3.1 through Odin and I'm a bit confused.

In the description it says the efs folder is automaticaly backed up.

Where can I find the backup? I looked through my sd card and I couldn't find it.
[Galaxy S II Original Android Development] thafath:
Just want to report. I flashed the last rc6 today, the one with camera fc, then flashed back the one before, no problem here (only wiped cache and dalvik cache). Last CM9.
[Galaxy S II Original Android Development] Ferdimage:
its under settings - device settings - sensors "Enable Key Backlight"

Its off on default which i like, but you enable here
[Galaxy S II Original Android Development] ZeroXtreme:
I can confirm this, I'm running the latest CM9 (build 0422). After flashing the latest Siyah 3.1 the Internal Storage gets mounted on /mnt/emmc and the SD-Card gets mounted on /mnt/sdcard. The problem with this is that the CM9 team switched back to the original mounting standards where it is reversed.

I restored my backup and am running the stock CM9 kernel again until this is resolved.
[Galaxy S II Original Android Development] toinktoink:
efs is backed up in /data/.siyah :)
[Galaxy S II Original Android Development] ellimist87:
Flashed to 3.1 using tar, don't see ondemand suspend freq anymore under Extweaks. Anyone else facing the same thing?
[Galaxy S II Original Android Development] toinktoink:
unfortunately my menu and back isn't detected by either any roms, and the recovery mode, BLN controls says my kernel (siyah) doesn't support it. and checked my log, it was indeed april 19, the day i flashed that RC6 that my buttons didn't work, oh well, i'm still trying to find a solution, :D
[Galaxy S II Original Android Development] :
Just flashed Siyah v3.1 from v3.1 rc6 without wiping, Major lag issues for me :S Checked benchmark results and got 1156.. From v3.1 rc6 I had at least 3000.

Also unable to see external media, in CWM internal storage and external storage are swapped around.

Reverting back to stock kernel until fix.
[Galaxy S II Original Android Development] :
Me and my girlfriend have been using rc6 and guess what? I did a full wipe to install omega v11 on both phones and it worked like a charm..

Anyway i did it before i knew about the bricks and thank god our sgs2's are fine (now both with 3.1 just in case lol)
[Galaxy S II Original Android Development] MaKTaiL:
So if I make a factory reset to flash a different ROM will I loose this backup?

Is backup made automaticaly by the kernel?
[Galaxy S II Original Android Development] toinktoink:
i think you will, so its better to back it up to your computer :)
[Galaxy S II Original Android Development] luexi:
+1 , this is getting so confuse,

well, anyway the FC on front cam after taking a pic still persist(for cm9). as for the BLN backlight still not on after the notification is received(whether BLN is blinking or static). hope GM is aware. ;)
[Galaxy S II Original Android Development] akira888:
Just need some confirmation from you guys before going ahead of the flashing of the latest 3.1:D

I flashed the late rc6 last night, there is FC issue for the camera.

I just wanna know whether it has been fixed in the 3.1.

I am using esurrection Remix ics v1.4
