SOLUTION FOR eMMC Bricked Phones ! Find out if you Device has eMMC Bug &make it save!

Finally , there is an solution for eMMC Bricked phones ! :) Its tested and it works ! :)

I modified the newest version of the CastagnaIT Kernel for boot from sdcard (i hope its ok for castagna ) DONT FLASH IT IF NOT NEEDED..

USE AT YOUR OWN RISK !

Download the patched kernel and extract the boot.img From it , now place this boot.img in the rom you want to flash and replace the Boot.img of the Rom. This step is necessary because the Kernel which is included in Rom arent patched, so your phone maybe wont flash the file correctly.

you have to partition your sd card first, as first partition you need an fat32 user data partition ( there will stored your music, videos,...) and as second partition an ext4 2GB partition for /data , if you done that, flash the kernel and if all goes well boot in recovery and try to do a factory reset and post what happens ! :) (NOTE: i think the row of partitions (1.fat32, 2.ext4) is very important since ivendor posted this.. you can use easeus partition master home to partition your sdcard, download the basic version for free here : http://www.chip.de/downloads/Easeus-Partition-Master_32927259.html )

Dont flash another Rom or kernel ,otherwise your phone wont Boot !

Hey all !

Since some people bricked there Phones while wiping data, ivendor found out that the reason for that are Bad emmc Chips and xellar found an app that can test if your Device i vulnerable by this bug or not. Since we now know which Devices are vulnerable for eMMC Brick Bug, its not longer necessary to provide Screenshots of the App ( but Thanks to all who done it ! :) ) but i collect the informations about how to avoid the eMMC Brick Bug because I think its much easier than searching for the right recovery in all Threads.

How to find out if your Device are vulnerable for eMMC Brick Bug and when yes, how to make your Device save:

(If your already know that your Device is vulnerable, you can skip steps 1-3)

Do at your own risk !

1. Download this app --> https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=net.vinagre.android.emmc_check

2. There are many informations, but only the third box and the row "Type" are important, so look what its written next to "Type"

3. If their stands 'SEM08G', you can relax, your chip isn´t a known eMMC Bug chip, you dont need to change anything, the TuT end here for you.

But if their stands 'M8G2FA' I have bad news for you, your Device are vulnerable and you need to check if its save already or if you need to make it save.

4. Now you have to know which recovery you have. If you don`t know, skip this step. Are you using Ivendors cwm 6.x.x ? or cwmTouch? or the 3.x Kernel based

TWRP from buffo ? Then you have to continue with this TuT ! if you are using cwm 5.x.x or TWRP 2.2.1, you dont need to do anything because these recoveries

are save because their base on 2.6 Kernel :)

5. If you have one of the 'Bad' recoverys, just install one of the 'good' one ! :) I recommend TWRP v.2.2.1 because its a known Stable and easy to use Recovery

without any Bugs. For all who want the newest version of Recovery or want to use only CWM, theyr are TWRP v.2.5 and a new Version of Ivendors CWM 6

6. Just download the recovery that you want (if you dont´t know, choose TWRP 2.2.1) from below and put the .zip file on your SD Card

7. Boot in recovery mode and install the new recovery but DON´T WIPE ANYTHING !! or your phone can Brick ! For all the people who want to flash the recovery

trough Odin, I will link the Odin versions below too.

8. After flashing the new recovery, just reboot, shutdown and reboot into recovery, now you can do anything without risk of Bricking ! :)
