Does the new ICS for the att version of the skyrocket have a safe kernal or is it still at risk of having the emmc corrupted?:confused:

Update: it seems the brick bug is in the stock ics 4.0.4 , use caution when wiping back to factory. Entropy512 has informed me that the att rom has the mmc_cap_erase command in a host file where rogers does not. I will update as soon as more info becomes available to me.

[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II Skyrocket SGH-I727] Mike:
You are incorrect as from what I understood from your original post you were on a rooted gb rom and flashed back to stock in order to update via kies. 1st off, gb kernels aren't an issue and 2nd, Odin is a safe work around the brick bug issue.

No where in here do u say that u went into the settings on ics and performed a factory reset. That will be the true test

Edit: I revisited your post and see youbdidnt specify gb vs ics but even if u were on ics and went back to stock this wouldn't be a problem through Odin

I didn't read anything offensive. I was just trying to wrap my head around what u were talking about. I understand now. As I stated in my previous post though the gb kernels were not affected.

1) The latest touch recovery (5.5.0.4) 4.3 I believe has been moved to ICS with the EMMC erase capability disabled. I don't know about others, since I don't use it..do the research..

2) Executing erase functions from the running kernel, e.g. the stock firmware that is what this zip has..if you look at the sources and *if* the kernel was built with that source, it is safe there too..standard disclaimer applies..since i am assuming it is built with the recently released code.

In general, the brick bug was specific to I believe certain leaks not on our device. And, if you are flashing a custom rom/kernel they all have a big disclaimer, that you can brick your device in many other ways. If you are so afraid, then you should *not* be flashing custom roms, since pretty much every custom rom/kernel will have that disclaimer..

-----

And as for the erasing photos and all. Flashing does *NOT* delete the contents of the internal or external sdcard (except for platform specific data). It will delete /system /data and /cache, read the pinned threads here on what that means (as the install instructions says, you will have to do that step anyways and make a nandroid backup).."

I think the title of this thread might scare some people where there shouldn't be any.

From what I can recall, the brick bug was later found to not apply to any of the ICS leaks for the Skyrocket. But it did apply to nearly identical leaks for other devices.

There is some correlation to this bug to the leaked rom's radio for the AT&T Galaxy Note. People were putting the Note's leak radio on the Skyrocket and there seemed to be a high chance of bricking. Not sure if it was the bug itself causing the Skyrocket to brick, or the fact that you shouldn't just be putting the note's radio on the Skyrocket. If you are that worried, you should do a 2.3.5 odin, and then flash 4.0.4 through Kies. That way, if it you happen to brick you would have no problems persuading AT&T to replace your phone.

I thought the phone didn't have the i777 brick bug
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II Skyrocket SGH-I727] Entropy512:
No, you need to have downloaded the kernel source...

I really don't want to download 150M of source code for a device I don't have to answer a question like this.

It does, although it was fairly rare as most people who were running ICS leaks still were using a Gingerbread-based recovery. topprospect (CM9 maintainer for I727) triggered the bug on his device.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II Skyrocket SGH-I727] Lucidmike:
That's a lot to ask for don't you think? Just in case a bug might exist, you want someone to look at the source code? Ever try to look through a few thousand of lines (if you are so lucky to know where the buggy code might exist) of someone else's code for a bug that might or might not be there so that the bug that may never have existed on the Skyrocket can be found to have no bugs? All this work for someone who's not willing to risk spending an hour putting an official, tested, and fully pushed rom, that will be under a warranty (because of the officialness) if you happen to brick.

It's like shopping for organic carrots. Instead of trusting the organic stamp of approval of your grocer, you want someone who can certify organics to fly over to the farm, do a full inspection, and send some samples to the lab, before you spend that $3. Sure there is no harm making that request, but you'd be asking a lot.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II Skyrocket SGH-I727] Mike:
Listen I wasn't sure about the process someone takes to find this stuff out and I wasn't demanding it by any means as its is most likely fixed. I was told when source came out we could know for sure so that is why I brought it up. I didn't realize what a painstaking process it was. Sorry...

No, it isn't proof at all.

Even with secure erase, damage isn't guaranteed on every wipe. You had maybe 50% chance of damage, 50% chance of survival.

Non-secure erase is significantly safer, I'd say easily less than 10% chance of damage, possibly less than 1% - but it isn't zero as evidenced by the 4-5 reports of damage in stock recovery on other devices over the past week. Do you want to take the chances of being one of the lucky 1-10%?

[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II Skyrocket SGH-I727] Intub8:
They are similar however the mmc_cap_erase command is present in a file on the i727 att where it is not present in the rogers rom. I do not trust att one bit to have taken any measures to remove the bug, or at least detour around the bad area. This thread wasn't meant to scare people but maybe people should be scared, or at least aware. Not everyone can just call att for a warranty replacement, some people may have bought the phone off eBay or Craigslist and will be with out a phone while Samsung tries to repair their phone. Bottom line since my last phone was bricked by this bug I have taken the guilty until proven innocent approach.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II Skyrocket SGH-I727] vincom:
if the problem "might" be from within the os, lets just use the one in recovery, the "factory reset" option in the stock recovery, and format "data" in a custom recovery
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II Skyrocket SGH-I727] deezhemi:
Most recoveries (CWM, CWM Touch and TWRP):

1) Are based on the GB Kernel

2) Do not use the format function but "erase" the data via "rm -r"

From what I understand it's the "format" function in ICS that could potentially corrupt some EMCC chips in the skyrocket.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II Skyrocket SGH-I727] vincom:
I said recovery because I thought the bug was from within the is, settings/backup and reset menu
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II Skyrocket SGH-I727] Intub8:
It can also be present in ics recoveries. The skyrocket was pretty safe with the leaks because the recovery was seperate from the rom. We were able to use a gingerbread recovery with android 4.0 I have no idea if the upgrade through kies gave us a recovery that can trigger the bug. I know the kindle fire cwm 5.5 was triggering it on that device. I hope Samsung gets a solution soon. Until it is declared safe I don't trust it.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II Skyrocket SGH-I727] Mike:
This is a stupid question but I just want to be sure. So wiping in a gb based cwm is completely safe?

I believe, but can't be sure, that msm_sdcc.c is the equivalent of mshci.c on Exynos devices - which says you've got the bug trigger conditions unless you have protection somewhere else in the kernel (which requires a lot of digging through code to discover.)
