[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] hnkotnis:
You are the 2nd person I have seen today, who got a brick after using Paranoid Android from theUnlockr.

Anyway, if the device cannot go to even download mode, try USB Jig. If you don't have one, you can create it.

Here is a guide http://xdaforums.com/galaxy-s2/help/guide-how-to-make-usb-jig-reset-binary-t1604707

I repaired my friend's Galaxy SII using my created USB Jig. Jig forced his phone to Download mode where I flashed it with Odin.

If USB Jig doesn't work then JTAG Device may repair it. However JTAG is not very commonly available.

In that case, I am afraid you need to contact Customer Care Center and get the Motherboard changed.

Everything is normal after motherboard changed.

But your warranty may be void due to custom ROM and Root.

Also I think your device is Samsung Galaxy SII Skyrocket SGH-I727 locked for AT&T Carrier.

Then this is your device's forum where more knowledgiable people than me (because I don't have your device) will help you.

[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] AnthonieMesser:
Thanks!!

Thanks a TON man!

I really haven't been wanting to make a Jig so I think I may just buy one....

Once I get it, do I just plug it into my phone and it does the rest?
[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] pocthird:
my phone is not hard bricked but this is a realy useful peace of information , i knew about the jtag but this method of usb jig is realy cool and new for me , this is one of the most useful posts i saw on xda :D thank you hnkotnis and thank you OP.

You're Welcome

I'm happy the post has helped you!!!

It's always useful to share your problems, all options used, solutions, and sources of information.

It will sooner or later help someone somewhere with something. haha.

XDA is by far the TOP online location for all your needs and people with great insight on cell phones!

I work at Verizon Wireless Customer Care (CSR), and I have direct well over a thousand people here and walked them through to get to their cell phones section!

Although I can not say who, or give them my info so they can't figure out who I am (illegal), I'm hoping they have receive the knowledge and help you have here today also.
[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] hnkotnis:
just put it in usb port like you put a charger pin. It does the rest. It forces phone into Download mode.

I am glad that this helped you. However I wish you never see USB Jig. :D i.e. your phone should never brick. :D

So I was tweaking the sound folder snd_soc_msm and deleted a file, now my phone won't boot. Powers on, shows custom and then the screen goes black. Any suggestions?
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] decaturbob:
Odin..
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] Mike005:
So I figured out how to simply reinstall the firmware which worked. But out of curiosity, is it possible to explore and/or install files to specific folders using Odin when the phone won't boot?
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] k1mu:
No, it's all or nothing.

If you had a custom recovery, you could put the required file into a zip file and flash that in recovery, but it's generally easier to flash a no-wipe ROM if it's available.

I found this on Amazon, it's a Nexus 5 bumper, that's a replica of the official Nexus 4 bumper:

http://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B00JBU27WO

Has anyone here tried this case yet?
[Nexus 5 Accessories] mmmmBACON:
If it wasn't $23 I would go for it. That's too expensive for a bumper.
[Nexus 5 Accessories] dhruvmalik:
Looks awesome. I would certainly buy it, but since its a replica, its not worth the $20 to produce hence it wont last as long as I would like it to.
[Nexus 5 Accessories] Onismurai:
Overprice. Another month and it gonna be around $10
[Nexus 5 Accessories] muyoso:
Its all over aliexpress for much cheaper. Like $3.50 to $15 depending on the seller and how many you buy. There do seem to be different kinds of bumpers on there for the nexus 5, and the nexus 4 clone is the more expensive one.
[Nexus 5 Accessories] jxbanks:
Looks like the price has gone down to $12.99 before shipping now. Was going to order one from Aliexpress, but maybe I'll get this one now.
[Nexus 5 Accessories] mmmmBACON:
If you could point me to a link where it's $3.50, then I'd bite. I'm not seeing anything that low on aliexpress, even with multiples.
[Nexus 5 Accessories] muyoso:
The $3.50 one is a different style bumper. The Nexus 4 lookalike bumper is around $11-13.
[Nexus 5 Accessories] spicydicy:
Can't wait to see a review for this one.
[Nexus 5 Accessories] mmmmBACON:
I don't think replicas are worth being over $10 before shipping. With it being a bumper and not a case, even more so.

For me, $8 - $9 with shipping included is probably the highest I'd go.
[Nexus 5 Accessories] rukkus:
I got this in the mail from the amazon seller today. I'm very impressed with it. The buttons feel great and the texture on the rubbery parts is very grippy.

EDIT: okay I feel dumb. I could have sworn there was an eBay reference, but you clearly got this from the original Amazon seller in the OP. I'm just not on the ball today. Sorry!
[Nexus 5 Accessories] frigidazzi:
Does the phone sit flat? Ie the camera bump doesn't hit table first and make it wobble.

Thanks! I'm interested for sure.

Looks like they will ship to the UK from this link:

I ordered one from the Amazon page.
[Nexus 5 Accessories] pompatello:
Thank you. I just ordered one, 12 pounds including shipping from the US isn't too bad. It's the price Google should charge for their own, instead of going Apple on their accessories.

Got mine today. Pretty much exactly like the Nexus 4 bumper was. Love it.
[Nexus 5 Accessories] Wbroshea:
Any pictures? How much wider does it make it feel? I remember my n4 felt a lot wider with the bumper even though it really wasn't.
[Nexus 5 Accessories] mmmmBACON:
Come on dude, did you even bother to look through the thread? It's only 3 pages....
[Nexus 5 Accessories] Wbroshea:
I was asking for pics from him and his opinion. As crazy as it sounds he could have purchased a different color which we have yet to see live pictures of. I personally want to see a live picture of the red version. But thanks for being johnny on the spot with your reply it was really helpful.
[Nexus 5 Accessories] mmmmBACON:
Well, look at the forum... It seems to be the majority of people ask questions first and never bother to look first. So many repeated threads on the same products, so many repeated questions that have already been addressed over and over.

It's not like your question stood out as asking about other colours or anything new. You'd be surprised at how many people ask for something when the answer is right in front of them sometimes even on the same page...
[Nexus 5 Accessories] Wbroshea:
So because others do "it" you get to assume that I have no reason behind my question and try to act like a big shot and put me down? Think how much more civil this would have gone if you had simply said "There are pictures on page two, were you looking for something else?" I could have said "Yeah I saw those, but I was interested in seeing if he had maybe purchased a different color, plus he mentioned that it was similar to the nexus 4 version (which indicates he probably had a nexus 4 with bumper) so I would like a comparison to the nexus 4 which I also had." Isn't that much more friendly, but instead we get this. And I am done with this.
[Nexus 5 Accessories] jiayit:
Does anybody want pictures of this bumper in black with a red N5? I bought one off a China site (where the stocks from Aliexpress come from), cost me a few bucks only, including shipping since I live in Asia :P

[Nexus 5 Accessories] jiayit:
These are not the best pics in the world but they should give you a rough idea of how the case looks like..

Back of the case has a lip to protect the vulnerable camera lens.

Headphone cutout might be a little too small for some, it is for me, anyway.

Charging port cutout looks pretty decent, might be able to fit some bigger heads.

(The one plugged in is the one that came with the N5!)

Case has a 'dotty' texture, offers decent grip. But based on my experience with the N4 version of this bumper, dirt accumulates in the dots.

I probably received a bad case, parts weren't glued properly, the bottom part split apart after first installation/removal.

I would still like to hear some comments about the width and if it'll make me sway away from my ringke slim or not.
[Nexus 5 Accessories] mmmmBACON:
Looks good, I have a black one on the way as well. Ordered from Aliexpress for around $8. Also have a red phone, but mine has a skin on it. Least I know it will look good!
[Nexus 5 Accessories] Wbroshea:
When you say split do you mean the tpu split apart from the PC plastic or the PC part split around the charging port? Every single n4 bumper I had the pc part split around the charging port. So I am a little nervous this could happen again.
[Nexus 5 Accessories] Enhanced:
How do the buttons feel? I remember with the official N4 case, the buttons were great. Very clicky.

And like the other poster asked, how much more wide does it feel?
[Nexus 5 Accessories] jiayit:
I had the N4 and a bumper case for it as well. I don't know if it was that the N4 was wider or something, but this bumper feels slightly slimmer. Not a lot, but noticeable. But I still didn't like the bulk (bought it for fun since it only cost a few bucks.., will sell it along with my phone :P).

The buttons are great, better than what I expected. But they have the cheap chrome-plastic look, which I happen to dislike.

It is significantly taller and a tad bit wider. BRB let me post pics.

Significantly taller.

View attachment 2678493

Slightly thicker (doesn't look like a lot but you can really feel it while holding it, makes the case feel bulky. Good or bad, depending on user preference. Some people like bulkier phones for more grip.)

[Nexus 5 Accessories] frigidazzi:
Fyi. This bumper does NOT protect the camera lens. I just got mine today. Sitting it flat and tapping on the screen it bounces back and forth like it does naked, but just not as much.

That said I really like the bumper other wise. The buttons work very well. The material of the bumper is definitely a lot harder than the diztronic case I'm used to using.

The lack of camera protection will probably keep me from using it. So annoying trying to tap on phone when it's sitting flat.
[Nexus 5 Accessories] jiayit:
Not for mine.. mine has a pretty obvious lip on the back that prevents the lens from touching the surface.

[Nexus 5 Accessories] rukkus:
Yeah not sure what he's talking about. You can see with your eyes that the lip is higher than the lens.

Sent from my Nexus 5
[Nexus 5 Accessories] frigidazzi:
Here's a little video demo of it wobbling. On the side opposite to the camera you can see and hear it when I tap down on that side. It's not as noticeable as the phone naked, but enough to be annoying. At least for me.

Wobble: http://youtu.be/cqpBWDVVjPM
[Nexus 5 Accessories] mmmmBACON:
Your video still shows that it does lift and protect the camera when placed down normally though. The lip does appear to keep the camera from touching. So it is not really the same as having the phone naked, where the camera makes contact with the table under normal placement.

It looks like it is only when it is already on the table and you are purposely pressing that edge down. Maybe because you are compressing the TPU material?
[Nexus 5 Accessories] frigidazzi:
If it was lifted and even it wouldn't wobble at all. It's not being compressed. It's a hard plastic. If it's not the camera then something isn't even.

I'm not trying to argue. I'm just letting people know. This is the only reason I used a case in the first place because the phone wobbles on a flat surface.
[Nexus 5 Accessories] nbell13:
It's the angle of the picture. If you look at it straight from the side the lens protrudes above the lip.

---------- Post added at 08:56 PM ---------- Previous post was at 08:55 PM ----------

I got the black one and have a black n5 so it's just like the other pics that were posted. As far as width, no wider than any other case that covers the sides of the phone.
[Nexus 5 Accessories] mmmmBACON:
Hmmm, maybe you do have a case that is uneven then. I don't have the case yet so I'm just speculating, but from the pictures already posted it does clearly show the lip is higher than the camera.
[Nexus 5 Accessories] nbell13:
As I started above, it's just the angle of that particular photo that makes it look like the lip is higher. It's not. The camera protrudes if you look at it straight from the side.
[Nexus 5 Accessories] jiayit:
Well, maybe our cases had gone through some poor QC. I am 101% sure that my bumper is raised higher than the lens, maybe your mould was slightly different or something!

Either way, still great to let people know that this case could probably have the problem of wobbling.

Agreed. On ebay, they have "official" chinese replica bumper cases. From the reviews on youtube I've seen, they are made exactly like the ones from google. And only $9.99 to 12.99 with free shipping. Plus they have a couple other colors like blue and green. Google is out of their minds for charging $26 for a simple case that won't provide a lot of protection.

I could be wrong, but the fonts and icons (UI in general) on the M8 seems to be awfully big. I've tried editing the build.prop to a different dpi but it gets reverted back to default (480).
