Is bricking your device easy to happen? I'm scared of bricking my phone. Can the phone still brick when you do everything correctly?
Anything is possible.
I took chances on all my phones and never had a problem .

If you do everything correctly, most likely not. A lot of bricks occurs because of user error. Flashing the wrong Galaxy s2 ROM/recovery etc, on our devices... there are a total of 5 variants i think.. only two works with ours.. skyrocket and hercules (i727 and t989)
I haven't heard of any bricks that occurs for doing everything correctly.
I have read up on some rare cases where a phone just blacks out from normal use... from heating up... or just random stuff.. some of the users aren't even rooted. That is purely the fault of the hardware simply giving up.
It is very easy to Root our phone:
ODIN
Flash Recovery
Flash ROM or Superuser
you can even mess up on flashing the recovery but you can actually recover from it. You will get the message where it says "firmware update failed, please connect to kies and recover," this is easily recoverable.. You just go back to ODIN Mode and flash recovery again.
The only way you can BRICK the phone:
1. Flash a ROM that doesn't belong to our device.
2. Mess up on Flashing a Stock ROM (user fault) such as battery falling out.. battery dying.. cable falls out. cable is loose etc.. while in the middle of flashing.
I remember reading that people tried to flash a Modem that didn't belong to our device, but ODIN either prevented this from happening or you get the "firmware update failed..." message.
TL;DR: No it is fairly safe and the only chances of bricking is when flashing something that isn't for our phone.
1. Flash a ROM that doesn't belong to our device.
2. Mess up on Flashing a Stock ROM (user fault) such as battery falling out.. battery dying.. cable falls out. cable is loose etc.. while in the middle of flashing.

I still don't see how those two things can mess up the phone? Can't you just use odin to reflash? You would think that they make the download portion of the phone non-writable so you can always use it with odin to reflash in any state. I must be missing something here. Does flashing a ROM mess with the "Download" partition also?
It is normally unwritable to prevent such problems. By using odin, you are bypassing the safety feature of the ROM area. By interrupting the process mid-way, you might not do not copy over all the 'necessary' files for the phone to function at it's lowest levels of operation. IE turn on when you tell it to. Flashing a rom doesn't mess with the user accessible partition.
Is using ClockWorkMod to flash any safer?
Catch-22.
If you want to use the ClockWorkMod app to flash, you will need to grant it superuser permissions. How do you get superuser? You need to be rooted by installing ClockWorkMod.. odin is pretty safe. Make sure to have a half-way charged battery (at least), and click the pda button.
True but how about subsequent flashes
Look bro its hard to brick these samsung but its not impossible trust me i know from experience, my first ever phone i rooted and played with was the galaxy s 4g and lets just say i bricked the **** out of it. think of it like this you flash a rom for a phone that is not yours this phone has a physical keyboard and the only way that phone can get into download mode is a combination of keys on the keyboard (this is just hypothetical) and the only way to get odin to recognize device is to be in DL mode...How can you be in DL with a phone that doesnt have physical keyboard but requires use of it to get into DL mode.
I've never bricked. Been in a bootloop, but just had to wipe and flash again

I tried to flash a kernel and a rom for the i9100 on mine using cwm. Flash went through just fine, went to reboot.... Nuthin. Not even a jig brought it back. Just be sure of what you're flashing and you'll be good. I've been flashing roms since the razr v3, and this is my first brick.

Just to throw this in there - if your phone does ANYTHING when you try to turn it on (soft keys light up/some sort of response from the screen), or plug it in, it is a soft brick in which you should be able to recover the phone. Many times it takes multiple tries (due to picky button combos) but it will come back. Coming from the Vibrant 3g, I can tell you from experience that you know when you have a hard brick because the phone does not respond AT ALL. It doesn't do anything when it's plugged in or when buttons are pressed. The ONLY time I've legitimately bricked a sgs was when I flashed a rom on a low battery not knowing that the phone does not charge in recovery. The battery died during reboot and the phone would not respond to anything. This is a true hard brick.
Also i'm not sure if this has been said but I would never flash anything without art least 50% battery life
The galaxy is pretty cool because of how easy it is to unbrick. All you have to do it load the stock kernel from Odin and plug up the USB, mount the sd, and place the ROM onto the sd and unmount then flash it. In the case that you install a bad ROM, if it's just the kernel then just load the stock kernel with Odin then use the one you want.

that was very confusing, but I'm not sure if you really know what a true hard brick is, which is really hard to unbrick and need to do the jtag stuff.
what you addressed is a softbrick (i don't even consider this a brick because the phone turns on), which is flashing an incomplete rom or kernel that is for our device, however if it was another device's than it might lead to a hardbrick.

A true hard brick cannot be unbricked. With a true hard brick the phone won't turn on and therefore, you cannot use Odin. Jtag also won't work if the phone does not turn on/the hardware buttons don't work.

so i think this is a hard brick, but i was installing cm9 and i did everything it said to do but when i came out of recovery and the blue led stayied on and the splash screen never came up so what can i do??? would sprint give me a new one??? fyi i cant get into recovery or download mode

I'm not an expert but It isn't a hard brick till your device is non responsive meaning screen doesn't turn on and usb/adb won't detect phone. What you may have is a soft brick or semi brick.
Does your device turn on at all? does it charge? does usb detect it.

Odd... I'm not very experienced to new samsung devices since my samsung captivate.. I'm not sure if you do, or don't have a jig. I will assume you do though since you said it won't go into download mode.
You mentioned you were flashing CM9, were you on a ICS ROM before?

yeah i was on cm9 and wanted to reflash it cause i was missing somethings.
i dont have a jig but would that work? i thought they only reset your flash counter
If your phone does not turn on (blue light only), can't get into download mode, isn't recognized by a PC (Odin), then it is hard bricked.
It could just be a bad flash or wrong flash, then a JTag service for $50 would solve your issue.
If you messed up your emmc chip, then it is hard bricked for real.
Please provide:
What ROM were you on?
What kernel were you using?
What recovery did you use? (Did you use Rom Manager)
What ROM were you flashing?

This is the extra info I was looking for, and is the cause of your hard brick. Very likely you did not Odin the stock EL26 kernel + CWM, which you should have done before reflashing anything. Wiping anything in CWM while on an ICS kernel when you have CM9 on your phone is a death sentence.
Sprint will likely exchange it for a refurbished unit for a $35 fee. www.mobiletechvideos.com may be able to JTAG it for you for $50.
Edit - Oh hmm in your last post it says you did indeed flash the EL26 stock repack. I'm not sure where you went wrong then, but your description sounds like the "blue light of death", which is usually indicative of a hard brick.

what do you think i should do, sprint or JTag??? i would kinda like to keep what is on the internal memory, but i dont know if the JTag would do that.
USB jig won't work to fix it. You either have to have Sprint replace it or Jtag can fix this type of brick too. I had the hard brick like you have where only the blue led turns on and he was able to fix it.

did you have the same memory in it after wards???
No, sorry but you're not going to be able to get back anything on internal memory no matter which way you go to fix it. And Sprint is kind of a crap shoot. If they replace your phone and take apart the old one and discover a custom ROM on it they can charge you full price for the replacement. Then again they may just give you a new one and that's it.

You're out of luck on your internal memory in either scenario. Sprint will almost definitely exchange it, but it would require you playing dumb, which is up to you. JTAG lets you keep your original device (not a refurb) if you care about that, but you have to mail it to them, get it fixed (hopefully) and have it mailed back. Sprint would likely get you a refurb faster and for $15 less, but again, you'd need to lie to them to avoid any hassles. It really depends on how you want to approach this and what you're comfortable with.

Maybe that is possibly the problem.
Most if not all the bricks are because of CM9 or AOKP. If you guys are forced to use a GB kernel + cwm to flash an ICS rom, that might be a problem.
Heres the deal, Ive had my original Epic4g for 2 years, I still love it but its worn out. I bought a new(used) one on ebay for cheap, ad said it freezes on boot and the owner couldn't fix it. sounded like a simple brick.
I received the phone, trying to turn it on loads the black SAMSUNG screen, the keys and soft touch buttons eventually light and then it freezes as such.
It will boot to download mode (1 + power) and will connect to ODIN, but Ive restored with various PIT/PDA combinations(follewed this guide first-> http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1052813) All say "Succeed 1/ failed 0" but they never get a different result (will still freeze at SAMSUNG with captive keys lit).
Also, Ive tried flashing a CWM-5 .tar and cannot get it into recovery. (yields same result, frozen w/ captive keys lit).
I HAVE tried odin 1.???, odin 3.04, different USB cables and a different computer. I dont believe communication is my issue.

Try a heavy duty blackberry cable as a last resort also remove battery and SD card if there is one. Odin again try to turn on if it still fails I would say truly hardware issue.
=( I am def using a heavy duty blackberry cable and ive had much success with it. I will try pulling the battery and SD card, thank you for that advice.
As for the hardware, Thats my big worry here, I'm hoping that's not the case... Messing with the phone, it feels like it has a missing/corrupt partition. does formatting with Odin in the PDA slot replace the boot section? (still learning what does what here ) If not, how can I reformat the boot partition?
Also, just for the sake of not giving up anytime soon, is there anyway to flash a custom rom/kernal(CM9 maybe?) through odin?

Make sure to include the PIT file included with odin. This will repartition the device and restore all as stock. We do not currently have any odinable current ROMs. I have an old EC05 froyo Odinalble prerooted rom in my archive but that is it.
It might be physical damage and not software corruption.. pretending it isn't though, verify that you're flashing the rom under PDA and not phone, frustration and desperation can make us do the most silliest mistakes.

Yea, ive gone at it left and right, so im pretty damn sure its hardware... Anyone have an epic with a cracked screen and good internals they wanna sell me?
So I recently rooted my phone with this tutorial:
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=nkkcCCjeUpI
Everything went great and I was rooted. So next I decided I wanted to flash a rom. So I decided this one:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1817345
I looked over it and followed its instructions. So I flashed it. I also flashed the google apps.
This is where the problems started. I rebooted my phone, and It never would show the boot logo. I kept pulling the battery and it would not start. I thought the battery might be dead so I charged it, and still nothing. I noticed when I plug it into my computer and it makes the little connection noise. (Like my computer is reconising the device) But still nothing on the screen. I tried to connect it to odin and it does not show the device.
So I have looked all over the internet (including these forums) and have found no help. Sounds like I might have bricked my device.
So my last question, If I did indeed brick my device will this fix it? (I mean will it atleast get it into download mode?)

Please let me know if you have any ideas.
Thanks, Griffsbrown
Boot into recovery and restore the nandroid you made before you flashed.
Man sure sounds like most the people having problems are cause they are rooted/modded. Hope its a simple fix for you. GL.
You flashed a rom for a different phone, its dead pretty much. research jtag I read its about 60-100$ read more in the future.

You flashed a ROM for a different phone. That is why you can not boot. Are you able to get into download mode? from the power off state, press and hold the volume down and home bottons and the power button. This should bring you into download mode. IF you can get there then you should be able to recover.
always be careful when flashing roms if you can get into download mode like the above poster said then your lucky and can odin a root66 and you will be back to before you installed the wrong ROM.
If you cant ........... your bricked my friend time to learn a lot more about jtag (which is a lot more difficult than odin READ READ READ
The only thing is people have been installing ATT roms for some reason their phones are not bricking but unless the dev says it works i wont try it.
ONLY USE ROMS FOR YOUR PHONE im really new and one of the first things to know.

This is highly unlike something i would do, im not a noob ive been tooling with flashing roms om nearly 20 devices since android came about.
This is strange. What happened is i downloaded jedi invasion for t999 and when i went to flash it in twrp i made a honest mistake and flashed my old tmobile note 2 rom" jedi master" not thinking about the "Invasion" missing,' as it was flashing i had assumed i had installed the invasion for t999, when done it said FAILED AT TOP IN "RED". AND reboot at bottom, thats when i realized i flashed my old note 2 t889 rom like a dumby. So i gathered my thoughts for a second and did a wipe data cache dalvic, and went to nandroid back to my stock 4.1.1 for my t999 , i have already restored my stock rom numerous times so i new that there should be no issues since ive had the t999. After i tried to restore it said reboot at bottom but at the top it said NO OS INSTALLED? Very strange, so i then tried to wipe again and install the only other zip i had on my sd hellfire rom, it said complete reboot but once again at top NO OS INSTALLED? So i had no choice but to reboot and once i did that Boom nothing no screen no Download mode it wont even charge?? Um what are the suggestions here what happened, anyone highly experienced have any ideas, this is a personal owned device on prepaid ! I dont want to believe that its bricked any options to get my phone back?
It's bricked.
I agree. Especially if there was a modem.bin in that ROM he flashed. Got to be careful when flashing these things. JTAG is in your future.
I think I am #55 to view this one. We understand you are frustrated and the very worst has happened but I would suggest a nicer approach.
Yep, JTAG - sucks, but it's decently priced and quick service.

How is everyone just assuming hard brick, it has lights it also can be heard when i.plug it into pc i can hear the connect disconnect noise.
Even tho screen is black i can hear and feel it shut on and off with holding button combos
The only problem is cant get into download mode ,so i dont know why everyone.ruled out soft brick, isnt there a chance a jig will throw it into dload mode

Can't hurt to try a jig. I have heard it does work but I have also heard that jigs don't work on S3s. They are only like $5-7 so it might be worth it to try it out.
So i bricked my Samsung Galaxy S3. I believe it is hard bricked because there is absolutely no response from the phone. Can't boot into recover, download, or regular boot. The phone has at least 40% battery when I last saw it work.
I was attempting to roll back my android OS to see if I could extend my battery life but every time i tried using odin my download mode would give me "sv rev check fail" so i attempted to unlock the boot loader. I couldnt odin it so I flashed a custom rom to check if I could flash roms on my phone. The slimkat custom rom worked but when I tried to flash back to stock I would get the sv error. I saw that EZ-Unlock app would work so i tried it out. The app said it unlocked but when I restarted the phone to get into download mode, the phone seems to be bricked.
I have a usb jig but it doesnt seem to force my phone in to download mode and I am waiting on a micro SD card to try to un brick it. How can I use the micro card to un brick the Tmobile version of SG3?
Samsung Galaxy S3 SGH-T999
First of all the bootloader is NOT locked, so whatever that app does it was not mean for this device.. You should never attempt to downgrade firmware, it has been stated many times that there is high risk to hard brick when you try to bypass this restriction. The unbrick might work
Follow instructions in the debrick thread and hopefully it'll work.

thats what i used on my first S3. bricked it like a............brick.lmfao.
gave it to some guy and i here now that he was able to revive it by some magical hoo-doo crap. well thats what i deserve for not reading reading and reading some more.
well , good for him is all i can say.! at least its gettin used ! :sly:
err on the side of kindness
Lol! I couldn't remember for sure if that's how it had happened on this thing, so I didn't want to say for certain that it was fixable. (Should a just asked you, but in my own defense, what's left of my mind these last few weeks is pretty much a scrambled mess!)
Anyway, I can 100% confirm that this type of brick is fixable. Using it as we speak/type!
And thanks to mrrocketdog for saving my a$$ with this thing! I may not have been around at all the last little while if not for him! (Might be back using my sad little MyTouch 3G Slide!)
