[Q] can flashing a rom hardbrick your phone? (NEW ROM) - Samsung Galaxy Gio GT-S5660

hi all, i really need a answer for this question....
i am ready with my first ROM , i followd some help page's and used dsixda android kitchen.
i have px-kernel and GingerBread 2.3.6. based on stock rom 2.3.6. with px-kernel and adrenaline engine modified.
but this is my first ROM and i am scared of trying to flash the ROM, i have flashed my GIO like 15 times but once (at the beginning ) i HARD bricked my phone with clockworkmod (choosing the wrong device...) since that i never used it again..
but now my question:
Can my phone HARD brick if the kernel or the rom isnt installed good???
Please answer this or i think i wont do it...
Thank's for the one that answer this toppic...
Bye

[Q] Which ROM are you using for 5660M?

I've tried the following ROM and I ended up using ArpegGioMod 0.8 with Link2SD now.
SimplyGio 1.3
CyanogenMod 7.1 KANG (RC-3.0)
Cy4noobsMod-7.1.3.1
ArpegGioMod 0.8
I'm using cyan kang RC 3.0, phiexz
little confuse,, However still remembering my former rom, Particle, by hyriand
the former has wifi problem, but the music player n effect was excellent, and also no problem, except mount warning issue...
the RC 3.0 I'm using now is promoted to be having wifi worked,,,
but I never found this rom that way, Im stucked to decide which way should I...
hi, what about your rom,,,
can u describe and tell about those following roms by your opinion???
SimplyGio 1.3
Pretty stable and supports other language, my dad has been using it on his Gio for over a month now.
CyanogenMod 7.1 KANG (RC-3.0)
I had some issue with GPS and split camera screen, other than that it has been pretty good and I used it for about 3 weeks between RC2 and 3. I'll probably go back to this again later.
Cy4noobsMod-7.1.3.1
Had some issue with market and S2E but didn't spend too much time on this ROM.
ArpegGioMod 0.8
Having some problem with Link2SD now and I'll try the 0.8.1.1 boot and dtapps2sd later.
I'm choosing between ArpegGioMod and CM 7.1 RC3 depending on what dtapps2sd is like on the ArpegGioMod.
For your wifi problem, did you load the modem file when you load the Particle ROM?
I am using CyanogenMod 9
Im am using Cyanogenmod 7.2 because in Cyanogenmod 9 im stuck in Bootloop every time i try (i probably tryed it more than 10 times)
PS: Sorry for my bad english, im from Germany
CM 7.2, FTW
Im using te BNC rom

I've had success with cm7.2, cm9 and arpegiomod.
I am currently using cm7.2 because it's the one I find to be the most stable of the bunch. CM9 is quickly catching up though, looking forward to using it full-time in the near future
I'll be making one...
I've used:
Cm7.1 didn't use very long
Cm7.2 most stable custom ROM for me
ArpegGioMod 0.8 best ROM based on stock for M.
Particle ROM worked great for me as long as you preserve your baseband. Second best stock ROM for M. Kernel works great for overclocking and scripts.

I use this ...
particle.blurringexistence.net/samsung-gt-s5660/roms
I'm now using GioPro v1.4 and yesterday I've used CM9..
CM9 is good enough, but the battery life isn't so good..
GioPro 1.4, but I'm going back to SimpliGio, or maybe see if I can get CM7 or CM9 working.
The problem is, I was a newb and flashed by modem. Now I can't connect to Virgin/Bell (ie no SMS, phone calls, nothing).
Anybody know where I can either get a stock modem for the GT-S5660m or stock firmware for it and extract the modem? Most of the "official" firmwares I've seen have been for the non-m model only.

In Firmwares, right?
I only see for the GT-S5660 non-M model. And a GT-S5660V version? What's that?
Edit: Nvm, it's for Oceania.
If you see regular thread, search for something with MUG baseband, its also for M model

I don't entirely understand your post. Do you mean search the site itself or the forum?
And what, exactly, would I search? "MUG baseband"?
Should I just make a new topic? Don't want to take over this thread...
Also, my phone is confused. I just tried flashing the GT-S5660 firmware at sammobile, and my phone shows it as being GT-S5660L. Is that because of the firmware or is that really my model number?

thank u

Well I have some time to answer to one of your questions. You can overclock only when using a custom kernel. A custom kernel is mostly included with custom roms so I suggest u try CM 7.2. I will answer to others in a few hours.

How to install a rom?
install CWM on your smartphone , than install Cyanogenmod 7.2
If somting go4s wrong, how to backup and restore? --> in cwm you can choose to make an nandroid backup
How to install a kernel --> not necessary anymore if you use CM 7.2
Ok thank u all guy's
i will try it in the next few days : )
BTW, if you overclock your CPU your battery will die very very fast. For me stock is better than everything.

Not completely true, my CM7.2 Gio is overcloked to 940Mhz and has been on for 3 days now and still has 20% battery... The battery lasts exactly the same as any other mobile phone I've had.
And wtf are you doing with that phone ? Just make calls ?

are you asking to me ? xD
i think i understand everyting, but i dont known how to install cm7? and the patch 4?
No, i was asking Stilm.
You must install CM7 by CWM Recovery and if you install patch 4 you will have unlock screen flicker bug.
ok i understand how to install recovery,
now Cyenogen7 is a ROM right ?
becuse they explane hire how to install recovery:http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1288223
than they say to install a ROM.
WTF ? What are you doing at Ideos X5 U8800 category ? That is not a tutorial for GIO.
This is a tutorial for GIO:

ow... sorry .....
OK guys, thanks for the help now...
i readed the link you gave me now.. wath do you think that is a better ROM
GIOPRO V1.4 or CM7 ?
and can i overclok using setcpu in both ROM's ?
Edit:
If i my choise is GioPro 1.4 can i install it in 1 package becuse from the 1.2 to the 1.3 you need the 1.2 to update to the 1.3 http://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=16979810&postcount=548 so can i install the 1.4 in one package?
You can overclock even without any rom. You only need a root.

You need a custom kernel.
Sent from my GT-S5660 using xda premium
if you want to overclock, you have to install a custom rom in your device, dont the stock/official rom
you can install it via odin, you have to download the rom first
you can backup and restrore via cwm

You need Flash Player on smartphone? I honestly see no purpose. Even on PC.
Search "adobe flash player armv6" on google and download, it's working also, upgrade to 2.3 if you can

So you managed to updated your phone to 2.3.3 ? If you did that now you have to root your phone again and go to "big thread for new users" in Galaxy Gio General forums. There you have a link on how to instal flash to your device.
