My bad experience!

Hello everyone, for those who do not know I am one who suffered the total brick terminal after flashing the version of Siyah 3.1-rc6+

I explain better what has happened in the hope that this post may come as a warning for everybody. Recently I was with Gingerbread and I just flashed the Leomar75 2.3.4 Rom that's worked great. Then I switched to ICS and I must admit that the Foxhound Psycho Mantis Rom was newer and had many more options, as we say ... basically another planet!!

The only drawback of the Siyah paired with my rom is the battery life ... terminal load gave me 7 hours of standby time (!) but (damn that day) I found a forum post where an user linked the release of the latest version of the Siyah the 3.1rc6 + and I decide to try it, definitely a update does not create problem right? Do I download the zip file and position it in the folder where I have the rom, the kernel cleaner and the other version of kernels... so I run the kernel cleaner used to remove sequences in the kernel, perform full wipe, wipe data cache, wipe Dalvik and flash again the new version of kernel ....

After flashing the new version of the kernel reboot the terminal, Android applications, upgrading (I had considered charging the battery) from the few hours I had a battery autonomy of values in 22 hours!! In the morning I left home with the terminal reloaded, I have 3 email account in push every 15 minutes, facebook and twitter notifications, gps and wifi still on whenever I get on average 10-15 calls per day, a little browsing and I arrived at night with a 25-30% battery still charge! I thought ... wow, finally my optimum target, after finishing the blocks and the battery life has tripled!

After a few days (since now the whole system was stable) I made a backup app+data with Titanium and get one more with CWM! Reboot, connect the terminal to the PC and I copy it all in a backup folder to shelter from loss of data. Now comes the fun ... the next day I need to take a picture, and the app showed me a message like "camera error", the photos in the gallery are all ok and I think maybe it is better to restart the terminal.

Reboot but the error is always the same and it occurs to me that he had corrupted the camera application, thinking recovery with Titanium (not so much interested in photos) confirm that the restore app+data .... but no success, always is still wrong. Okay I understood (I think) now I solve as well, I turn off the terminal, I log on and launch a CWM wipe data cache + Dalvik, then I access my reloading section and restore the latest backup.

The procedure starts until the message appears restoring data (normally takes 5-6 minutes, I did a lot of times) but after more than 10 minutes, 15 seems almost completely blocked, I am not able to press any key, it seems not working and the only option was to disconnect the battery and repeat again. So do I, but the terminal is still off, no lights, no vibrations, nothing!!! Removed battery for 30 seconds put it back again but nothing, I am not able to access to recovery and/or download mode. Damn... but I have last chance in the jig... NOTHING even with a jig!

My S2 bought on last november... was DEAD!!!

I have the same Rom FoxHound Psycho Mantis V2 - XWLP7 you have but the version of my kernel was : 3.0.15 - Siyah-v3.1rc6+

Maybe is the corrupted one?
