Thanks for this information, I've been waiting for jellybean support for various devices that I have owned but eventually gave up looking at the kitchen as nothing appeared to be happening. I have cooked a battery mod uot zip at the kitchen which will not flash through clockwork recovery.

Can I just clarify that you got this to work on an ODEXED stock rom?? Can you also clarify which files that you pushed with your file explorer as I uploaded all three files that you mentioned to the kitchen but my zip only contained framework-res.apk and systemUI.apk??

I am a bit wary to do it this way as I can't create a restore zip with the original files as it won't flash.

Hello guy's. I have a small question: there is a way to change the resolution?
[Sony Xperia S, Acro S, Ion] Felimenta97:
No. You can't turn off pixels.
[Sony Xperia S, Acro S, Ion] Taosaur:
I haven't seen anyone mention it on XDA or anywhere else online, so I thought I'd put it out there for people picking up Ions used or as AT&T free phones. Most sites tell you to cut your standard SIM down to Micro, but there's an easier and less risky option, though you still might want to make a small mod to your old SIM. The Ion uses a small tray to hold the Micro-SIM, and that tray just happens to be near the exact dimensions of a standard sized SIM:

The tray is a little thicker, but otherwise it's basically a Micro-SIM to SIM adapter (which negates any benefit of using Micro-SIM in the first place...no space is saved). I went ahead and took a chance and just slid my standard sized SIM down into the slot where the tray would go, after establishing with reasonable confidence that the contacts should line up--it was just a question of whether the SIM's thickness would fit securely enough to stay in good contact. And yes, it did. Once I got the card about halfway in, the slot gripped it firmly--there must be some sort of retractable mechanism in there putting pressure on whatever you insert.

One problem I recognized but decided not to worry about at the time is how to get the SIM out of there again. Only one little corner protrudes, so I'll be trying desperately to slide it out with a pencil eraser or something if I ever have to remove it. The simple solution would be to drill a small hole or make a notch in that corner of the card, which wouldn't compromise the card's functionality in any phone but would give you somewhere to grip.
[Sony Xperia S, Acro S, Ion] dyepnoodle:
or u can use tweezers to remove it. :)
[Sony Xperia S, Acro S, Ion] Taosaur:
Maybe, but I'm not too sure if you could get a grip even with tweezers. It's really a tiny corner that sticks out, and flush against the back of the slot.
[Sony Xperia S, Acro S, Ion] htcman724:
I had the same problem when I got my ion and yes you can remove it with tweezers.
[Sony Xperia S, Acro S, Ion] maksofiaol:
use small amount of tape

I use a ion with small tape on sim card and it works fine, this way when I need to remove the sim I just pull the tape and it pulls the sim card.http://xdaforums.com/images/smilies/tongue.gif
[Sony Xperia S, Acro S, Ion] Taosaur:
Now that's simple--wish I'd thought of it ;)
[Sony Xperia S, Acro S, Ion] pppppp:
Bleh

I got it set up that way two days ago. The owner wanted to strangle me for trying, but in the end even he can see the benefits.

IMHO, micro and nanosims are unnecessary. The space saved is minimal as to justify the different format. Like when they sold us non standard chargers and non standard hands free (oh, and non standard "data cables) remember?
[Sony Xperia S, Acro S, Ion] Taosaur:
It's maybe useful if you actually save the space, but in the Ion the unnecessary tray actually takes up slightly more space than a standard SIM. I can only guess that AT&T insisted on that format out of their usual twisted marketing philosophy that if you just introduce enough artificial constraints, the consumer will pay you more to f*** them more gently.

I have had this before when i first started to flash and messed up! all you have to do is keep holding down the power and volume down! just wait keep trying it. eventually it will go in fastboot . Connect your phone to your PC then in recovery click mount PUT THE RIGHT VERSION OF THE ROM in your sd card and then unmount, Go to Wipe (factory reset, system,cache,cache delvik) do it in that order then install the zip.

It depends on what Tegra rom you flashed. Some of them will hard brick your phone (which sounds like you), some can be recovered.

If you have a Windows PC, plug your phone in and open Device Manager and see what pops up. If you see QHUSB_DLOAD, you've got a brick.
[AT&T, Rogers HTC One X, Telstra One XL] _jakeryan:
Thanks

Yeah I get QHUSB_DLOAD. So if i take it in to get it replaced, is it so messed up that they won't even be able to tell it's been unlocked, and just replace it? I have insurance and I've had it less than 14 days. Or could I just report it stolen or lost?

Device Model: Google Nexus 7 16GB

ROM: PARANOIDANDROID 2.99 PIE3.1 (4.2.1)

Recovery: Clockworkmod Touch Recovery 6.0.1.9

I installed this ROM at the root of my SD card and wiped the dalvic cache. When I try to boot it, I'm stuck at the "X" boot screen. I've already reflashed my device 3 times and this bug is still there. I was just curious if anyone has seen this issue and if there were any workarounds?

I'm able to flash my device back to Stock but I really want to get this ROM working so a little help would be appreciated!! :)
[Nexus 7 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] RootTheMachine:
First of all, that's not a brick. Not at all. You need to read the installation instructions, which would have told you that wiping data is a must.
[Nexus 7 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] ezas:
Re: [Q] PARANOIDANDROID 2.99 - Bricked Device

You don't need a workaround. About a million purple have installed PA. What ROM did you try and flash over and are you sure you had the right file for your android version?

[Nexus 7 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] VonEsch:
Re: [Q] PARANOIDANDROID 2.99 - Bricked Device

Not a brick. If you can flash something else it's not a brick.
[Nexus 7 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] wesc16:
Before I flashed anything, I was using Stock 4.2.1 but once I started flashing ROMs, I've been stuck at a boot loop even though I've wiped the data and dalvik cache. I seriously can't figure out what's going on.

ROMS flashed: CM10, LiquidSmooth, ParanoidAndroid, MIUI, SmoothROM

Recovery Tools: CWM 6.0.1.9, TWRP 2.3.2.1 (I have tried both recovery tools for each ROM when performing installation)

Each time I've been stuck at the boot, I had to reflash the Stock Image to recover. After I flash the stock image, I would try to flash another ROM. It's not like I have any data on here either so wiping the data isn't really helping as suggested...

The steps that I've followed:

1. Unlock bootloader

2. Root Device

3. Flash ROM using either CWM or TWRP.

4. Wipe Data + Dalvik Cache

5. Reboot System.

Is there something wrong with the steps I'm using? I've been using the Nexus 7 Toolkit 4.0.0 to make things quicker but it seems like I should just use the adb shell and manually trace it step by step.
[Nexus 7 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] wesc16:
Nevermind, I figured it out. I did a factory reset before the flash and then wiped all the other stuff in order for my Nexus 7 to boot properly. Thanks for the feedback!
[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] abtekk:
So, I was doing a nandroid BACKUP of stock ICS 4.0.4 with secure kernel and the phone crashed, shut down and now won't power, charge, etc.

Do I have that crappy superbrick bug or will a JIG resurrect it? I've had the phone a day, bought second hand.

I thought the superbrick was caused by wiping, not by backups?
[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] themadba:
It is caused by wiping in recovery on the stock 4.0.4 kernel, and also by restoring a backup on the stock 4.0.4 kernel as well. So as to why your phone has done this whilst making a backup, I'm not sure. Can you try a different battery to see if it was the battery for some weird reason? No download mode or recovery mode? Have you got a USB Jig to try kick it into download mode? A JIG may work if it is just hard bricked, but if it is the brick bug, a JIG won't have any effect. Try those things I listed first, and see.

OP of this thread states that only wiping and restoring backup can lead to super brick on 4.0.4 kernel: http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=1756242
[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] abtekk:
Yeah I found is super weird for it to do what it has. I definitely hit backup and not restore because I remember it telling me how much SDCard space I had, not only that but this is the first backup I have done. I've ordered a battery and JIG from eBay, it should be delivered Monday-Tuesday time. Until I get them, any chance of checking for superbrick any other way?
[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] themadba:
Not really, you can just go by the symptoms your phone is producing: no charging, no powering up, no recovery/download mode etc. These all fall in line with the SuperBrick Bug and there is not much more you can do other than wait for the new battery and Jig. If it is the superbrick bug, then the 4.0.4 kernel is the most dangerous I have ever seen, seems like there is nothing you can't do without it bricking your device! Anyway, keep hoping and when the battery and Jig arrive, it should determine what you are dealing with.
[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] abtekk:
I'm just shocked that reading from eMMC during a backup would cause such a thing, I can understand the writing to it. Is there absolutely no way of recovering from a superbrick? I'm obviously not under warranty.
[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] themadba:
As far I know, there is no fix known (well, that Samsung will allow certain members of the xda community to release). I believe you can buy a new motherboard from someone with a second hand SGS2 (which is typical considering yours is second hand as well). You could call Samsung and explain that you were using their kernel and your phone just died on you. Let them decide whether to help you out or not. If not, it's either a new motherboard or a new SGS2 (Sorry). :(

P.S. You said you were performing a nandroid backup in 4.0.4 secure kernel recovery. Was it the stock kernel you were using? Or was it a different kernel? If so, please list.
[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] abtekk:
So there is a fix out there... Interesting.

Sorry, yes I was using stock 4.0.4 secure kernel with temp CWM. The ROM was rooted too, if it matters.
[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] themadba:
That's interesting. I've read somewhere that the Galaxy Notes were affected by CWM.zip (temporary CWM) and that using it with stock 4.0.4 kernel recovery could lead to superbricks. Now, whether that just included wiping/restoring I'm not sure, but I'm not sure if the SGS2 could be affected in the same way.

P.S. Ignore above, it only affected AT&T SGS2, not international GT-i9100 (which I assume you have?)
[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] abtekk:
So in theory, then, the JIG + new battery has every chance of saving this phone?

Yeah it will be international.
[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] themadba:
Yeah, we will have to see, only when the new battery and Jig is tried will we know. If nothing comes about, at least you know that it is technically Samsung's fault for releasing a very damaged kernel to the public. I know there has been much publicity about it, but performing a nandroid backup which involves writing to the SD-Card (if you selected it?) has nothing to do with the eMMC card, and it is the eMMC card which is involved with these superbricks, the culprit known as MMC_CAP_ERASE which just kills your eMMC card.
[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] abtekk:
That's what leads me to believe it can't possibly be a superbrick. I'll be surprised if it is, because nothing went near erase.
[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] themadba:
Just stick your phone on the charger for the night, maybe it just went haywire for some weird reason. If nothing by the morning, wait for the new battery, charge it for a good while, then pray to the phone gods and try the Jig. If nothing, then you can either try sending it for JIG repair, calling Samsung and seeing what they are willing to do, or try obtain a new motherboard. Good luck anyway. :)

P.S. Just remembered, you can flash a .pit file (partition file, not sure which one) and it can POSSIBLY revive your phone if it was struck by the superbrick bug. However, it will cut your phones 16GB internal memory to just 8GB. Possible fix for a superbricked phone.
[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] abtekk:
Thanks mate I will do. I'll keep you posted on what happens. If all fails, the person I bought it from offered to give a partial refund of £100 (bought for 160) if I send the phone back, so it's not a total loss. That or I'll grovel to Samsung for a few hours.
[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] abtekk:
Oh really? How do I do this?
[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] themadba:
It involves flashing a custom .pit file that someone has created to partition your eMMC chip (don't hold me to this, I'm not sure and I haven't seen a thread floating about with this information for a while.) I believe it partitions your eMMC chip (which I believe is your internal memory where the OS is stored etc.) and creates a "good" sector again that is usable. However, internal memory capacity is halved, which is not a bad price to pay if it revives your phone. If I can find a thread explaining this in better detail, I shall link it here. Until then, let's wait and see if the battery and Jig do the job :)
[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] abtekk:
How can I flash it, when I get no power and can't get to download mode or what have you? But yeah, I look forward to this JIG.
[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] themadba:
That's a good point, I don't know how people have been flashing these custom .pit files if they have no power or download mode for Odin to work. Anyway, here is the thread I was talking about!: http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=1667886
[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] abtekk:
I'll look in to it, I'm unsure how people are able to flash the PIT though, however this does pose the idea that once you flash a resized .pit, recover the superbrick, install a safe and stable android, could you not do a full wipe through CWM that way, then resize back to stock partition sizes?

Just food for thought.
[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] themadba:
No idea, I'm no expert on this as I haven't needed to read up on it (touch wood!) Get the battery and Jig first and let me know how you got on.
[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] abtekk:
Oh yeah of course, I shall do. The .pit method does make me wonder though. Also after doing some Googling, it appears Odin (with the right Samsung drivers installed) will still pick up a superbricked device.

I think if/when I revive this device, I'll look in to creating a method for reviving superbricks properly, this is really interesting...
[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] themadba:
Interesting, now the "right Samsung drivers" are the Kies drivers. You can either install the standalone drivers or just install Kies. When running Odin and you have Kies installed (not the standalone drivers) you must make sure you have killed off the Kies processes through the Task Manager. I didn't know Odin could pick up superbricked devices. At the end of the first post of that thread I linked you to, the OP has included the .pit files for both 8GB GS2's and 16GB GS2's, so make sure you download the correct one if it comes to that.

On another note, it is very late here (2am) and I should probably get some sleep. I'll subscribe to this and check back tomorrow/Monday. Later :)
[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] abtekk:
It appears that Odin can, that's the impression I get when reading threads.

Yeah I'm in the same country as you, I'll head off too. Goodnight.
[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] AnubuRe:

[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] abtekk:
Yeah I was looking in to that, however that only seems to work if your eMMC is bricked, but you can still access recovery/download. Mine, unfortunately is a hard brick, meaning I can't enter in to any. If by the off chance I have a hard brick but the eMMC is fine, my understanding is the JIG will work.
