OCLF is not safe, DO NOT TRY IT

DO NOT TRY OCLF, if you can not go to factory reset.
I have read almost all the threads answer etc. on many forums, How many people faced the problem and I think I am latest victim after having OCLF, phone doesn't start anymore, does not go in hard reset..nothing just vibration and 2 lights in bottom nothing else.
It just screwed me, OCLF 2.2, with Z4Root , Android 2.2 froyo on SGS....installed and you are gone. still you want it go ahead, feel free....I am angry on myself not on anybody else but I thought, I better write something to save few people at least, opposed to other people who are also bricked and praised the fix to not to stand alone.
Finally I gave phone back, not sure if I get a new one or get same repaired ( in warranty or I have to pay if they can detect that It was me not the hardware or something else...), will post what happens but for now, its not safe, do not go for it and remember there is very thin line between bravery and foolishness. decide yourself.

There are numerous ways to recover your SGS, all you had to do was have a read on here, don't panic and use the search function.
I'm new to all this and i've been in the same position as you and have thought I had bricked my phone at least 5 or more times. But thanks to others on XDA they have same me and my SGS )

sorry but if you dont know what you are doing, why are you doing it?
and btw there are alot of things you can do to recover your phone, even if its totally bricked.
you saying you read all threads etc? i dont think so cuz then you would know what to do.
and OCLF IS SAFE, if you know what you doing and have to do if its going wrong.
ps: if you need help, pm me i will explain you what to do, but only if you have the phone in front of you.

There should be a big banner in the development section which says "Don't try these if you are a n00b and not willing to read and learn before flashing anything!"

That is a thoughtless, misinformed thread title maligning a good developer's excellent work.
Think hard before you post in future........
doc jpy 7.1, jpx, k12i.

OCLF pertains to the Software Level. I see no reason for the Hardware to be affected. You should always be able to go the Download Mode after removing the battery for sometime.

i just say OMG.. i "bricked" (like you) my device about 7-8 times... no problem! i also BRICKED my device 1 time... no problem! don't panic, sgs is very strong! use search function of forum, the problem is not OCLF itself, is a "dead" sd-card (i don't know exactely, i'm a noob) it's a problem connected with the mount of an internal memory, i personally discovered that it might be also connected with a wrong flash of the csc (personal experience!)
Next time (yes it will be) don't panic there's a solution

No panic, just another way of adding some more info for OCLF
Well well well, I am not in panic, I have had galaxy for 5 days only and of-course a new comer for Android, I didn't hesitate for the fix, tried to figure out pros and cons (unfortunately didn't see complains for the problem I had after reboot, until I became the victim) and to be clear not trying to blacken the founder of OCLF with due respect.
Thanks for the fellows offering help, I don't have phone with me as I was not willing to play around with other fixes as I can get it fixed by service center but it would be great if you can blog about it or mention steps here for a problem of a phone stuck on Galaxy screen and can't go in recovery mode and does not connect with odin. what you get is black screen, 2 lightning button in the bottom and vibration when you press any key in bottom or screen.
I was already expecting the several responses and staring eyes but if its safe then why you have so many thread complaining a frozen phone. If this fix is safe then why its removed from Market? (arrg Google norms..but for a good thing and open source system, don''t understand, make it an enhancement, put it already in ROM)
and why OCLF app does not warn, if you have a temp root or permanent root? before making the fix. if its not possible in this context then place info window as it will fail with temp root.
ODIN thing will only work with rooted phone what if its temp rooted and do you want any user to open their phone's mother board for making some soldering to re flash.
Please somebody make a detailed instruction page, if its safe and get proper steps and don'ts list, I won't mind doing it again once I get phone back and keeping fingers crossed that they won't charge me for this out of warranty. Not sure I'll get replacement or repaired one.
Again its not safe until and unless in any case you are ready for using other fixes (which may or may not be applicable for your situation)to fix the phone.There are chances that you loose important data(if not backup). Go for it, if you have enough time and nothing else to do, if it works, good for you, if not don't panic..............
and don;t forget its not your development machine, open in front of you, for free by company, which has corrupted passwd file or something and not booting up....it's your costly new smart phone.
yeah criticize me but its doesn't feel nice when your brick your new phone.
in the end some more things to remember based on my exp for prevention:
1. Back up data
2. make sure you have hard reset option available
3. Root permanent
Please add more if you know. anyways thanks for all the responses.

Tried once to have a bricked phone, my first try actually..
Formated the system by mistake, to high i guess.. LOL..
Non the less, had black-screen ofc, System format, in more than 5 hours, till I tried odin with the org firmware, and brick gone
Sure, thought Sh!!!!!t at first, but then started reading, that was what I've spent the 5 hours on, and 7mins later up and running.. No worries for brick no more
So, think you could have made it your self, instead of returning it, sry
Or maybe you couldn't go into DL mode? I could with formated system?
Just like dhiru1602 wrote, DL mode should be in place, it was on mine like I said

READ!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! SEARCH!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! READ!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! SEARCH!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! BREATH IN!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! BREATH OUT!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
1. You didn't read instructions clearly
2. You created a misleading thread title
3. You are now asking for step by step instructions when there is already numerous guides and answers on how to get your phone going again
4. You now look like a lazy, ignorant and upset kid that broke his new toy because he was too rough with it and now expects to be spoon fed instead of actually learning from his mistake.
5. I am not usually this hard on anybody but I am annoyed by this thread

you're funny. maybe you can discuss why it's so bad with RyanZA himself?
herpderp.

If you hadn't have badmouthed his work, you'd have found Ryan extremely helpful, in fact, he's such a good bloke, he'd probably still help you if it was necessary.
doc jpy 7.1, jpx, k12i.

@OP: Please change the thread's title to something more respectful for RyanZA's hard work.
A good title like : "too lazy to read before doing something potentially dangerous to my expensive smartphone, I've bricked it (in fact probably not...) while trying OCLF..."

its ok now guys, he is new to android and galaxy. Close this thread pls.

@OP (original poster) please change the title or delete the thread.
I installed OCLF about 2 weeks ago on my new Froyo install (!!>after reading<!!) and had no problems at all. I used version 1.1 on Eclair and version 2 on Froyo. Ryanza has made a brilliant tool and does not at all deserve to be tainted like this

A ignorant noob like u dont even deserve the help! Uve read? Where?? In every instruction its writte try this at ur own risk.. I had the same problem..Didnt u read abt the 3 button combo?? Z4root and OCLF dont always work well together! AH m very annoyed cuz i really respect Ryan's work!! READ ----- READ----- then again READ--

no point flaming him too much. just report his post

all i can say is LOL

Question.

I have downloaded and installed the FPS app "nova" but my dinc won't run it for some reason. My guess is that nova is supposed to be for the evo, but is there another fps game for the dinc that is like nova that I can download and run?

Wow, almost a month since I posted this and no help, thanks guys, you're a lot of help :/

This is what happens when your thread is titled "question". Not very compelling, so you're probably not getting many lookers.
EDIT: I stand corrected...I see there have been 121 views. Perhaps no one knows the answer. The sarcasm probably won't help.

Are you rooted? Having force close issues? Your problem description is lacking a lot of detail because having a problem is very different from explaining what your problem is. So I would say if you answered yes to my two questions, try a fix permissions in either recovery or rom manager. If not, please describe your issue with as much detail as possible so we can help you.

Eeeeeeyyyyiks, sorry guys, major lack of info.
Rooted, kernel 2.6.32 hydra-ocuv-v10 on a stock Rom. Newest radio version (i think) I keep 3 radio versions handy because certain ones work better in certain places...?
The nova will force close right after the download then go back to the download right after I start the app back up.

Did you buy it or pirate it?

Downloaded it from 4shared. Probably why it does that, lol! It's done the same thing with other games that I've dnlded as well.

Yea pirated games sometimes don't work if they require an external download. I tried this with a similar game.

Grand Theft Auto III HiRes patch GN V0.2

I uploaded a new gta3.set with best improvement.
V 0.2
- Breaks and Debris
- Accelerate/brake and steer at the same time (tks mixedlemon)
V 0.1
- Car lights, Lamps and Flashing Lights
- Detailed Shadows, Traffic Lights, Blood
- Hi Resolution
just download attached zip file (gta3HiResV02.zip), and copy extracted file (gta3.set) to: /sdcard/Android/data/com.rockstar.gta3/files/GTA3
- backup existing one
Basically it is .set file specific for Galaxy Nexus

Thanks man, not only does this look better but on my Nexus it also fixed the touchscreen issue of not being able to accelerate/brake and steer at the same time.

Do you think it's possible to get a fix so that we can jump out of moving cars? There's a bug that doesn't allow you to get out of a car until it has come to a complete stop? How else are we supposed to ghost ride cars into crowds of people lol?

I'm starting to think that it may have only been the international versions that had compatibility restrictions, even when it wasn't playable on the Nexus and specifically stated "Coming soon for the Galaxy Nexus" I was always able to find it in my market and buy it from my CDMA Galaxy Nexus on Verizon.
This is just my best guess based on not reading anything, so if anyone else knows more about the subject please correct me.
Have you tried using Market Enabler?
Back during the $0.10 sales I had to edit the build.prop files on my HTC Rezound to make it think it was a Nexus S in order to buy the Gameloft games. Perhaps you'd be able to change it to identify your device as a Rezound or some other phone on the supported devices list?

I'm not seeing a gta.set file... should I just place this one in there? or am I missing somethin?
edit: Nevermind, there was no .set file in there to backup, but dropping this in there actually made a huuuuge difference. Thanks alot.

So this will not work on Galaxy Note :?

I had this problem too at first. There's a number of different versions out, being in Australia I'm pretty sure we would've had a censored version. Try going to https://market.android.com/developer?pub=Rockstar+Games,+Inc. and see what shows up. I used to be able to see 3 different versions but only one was installable, though they must have updated it recently because now the other versions are hidden from me.

BUG: JB 4.1.2 update - Pressing Home Button to wake brings up task manager sometimes?

I dont see a lot of posts about this. But, there is a very annoying bug after the update; where if I press the Home Button to wake the screen, it will sometimes launch the task manager about a second later. I've seen sporadic posts about this for Tmobile as well as Sprint for JB 4.1.2 update; but nobody seems to have a solution.
I guess it's possible that some people dont think it's annoying enough to post; or, it's a possiblility it only affects people who have the factory rooted update installed.
I'm hoping someone smarter than me has already figured out a way to circumvent this very annoying behavior. What makes it really bad is that it only sometimes happens.
PS: The only carrier that doesn't seem to have this issue after the 4.1.2 update is ATT. My guess is they caught this bug before pushing it to all their customers.

I'm going to bet that is you disable your lockscreen you'll see this behavior just about every time. I'm fairly certain I tracked down at least one way to circumvent this behavior - check out this post for some info on it. The take home - my approach requires a wee bit of smali hacking, and everything that utilizing such a solution entails...

Dwitherell, thank you so much for responding. I was even considering on reverting back to 4.1.1 because of this. I don't use any kind password or pattern lock.
Forgive my ignorance, but the post you pointed me to locks like its on a Jedi ROM. I don't even see any specific references to this issue. What is this fix for specifically? If it is for sure going to restore normal behavior, i guess i could try to do this hack.
If this issue is as wide spread as i think it is, is there any chance you could make a tiny root app that fixes the problem or some way of automating a fix for not so technical people? How wide spread is this issue? Thanks a million for your help.

My annoying fix...
I have been plagued by this since the update as well. I have tried factory resets and uninstall programs one by one. Nothing worked. Today I decided to try removing my lock screen pin, just used the swipe to unlock. That did not work. Then it came to me...
I set back up my pin to unlock, and switched the setting "Lock automatically" to Immediately instead of having a delay that I love. That "worked" as in it no longer goes to recent apps. But now I have to chose to have a pin to unlock it every time my screen turns off or remove security or deal with the recent apps issue. Any way you choose it's an extra annoying step to unlock.
I'd like to hear if anyone else has found any other solution.
Edit.... I have tried every lock option and as long as set to lock immediately, it will eliminate the problem. And the same with setting any delay, with any lock option it will result in the recent apps.

I forgot to mention that lock screen prevents this bug from happenening. I'm guessing that's why not everyone has complained about the issue.. and why the bug somehow sneaked passed beta testing of 4.1.2. I would think this changed behavior was a new "feature" as horrible as it is, but it looks like it dad unintentional since its not consistent behavior.
I'm hoping that a kind android developer who also can't stand this problem, Kay offer a small script or app for rooted user to patch this problem.

It was posted in a Jedi thread, but only because that is where I noticed it was mentioned. The context outside that single post was someone stating the same observation as you, my responding saying that I was also annoyed by it, with a later edit saying I may have come up with a workaround for it, and their response of "tell me more". As far as automating a fix or creating an app or the like - that is well beyond my paygrade unfortunately. What are you running? If you are interested you could PM me - all I need is your android.policy.jar (or to know what you are currently running) and I can try to get a fix together for you given some other conditions (i.e. have a custom recovery installed so you can flash things). It seems to have fixed it on my end, but I would be very interested in getting some others to test

You did it! Your fix works perfectly! The bug is gone! ...like the bug was never there. My understanding is the fix prevents the phone from stupidly trying to launch the task manager when the screen wakes by the home button. I also donated for you time and effort. Thanks a million.

No, thank you for making me learn how to put an odexed mod together and testing it for me!
So this fix will work for anyone running a stock odexed version of 4.1.2 UVBMB4 - you just need to be rooted, and having a custom recovery would be nice so you could flash it but you could also just copy the files over. That being said - would this be worthwhile to post?

I wish i had know i could just copy the files over.. that's actually less convoluted process than depending on a script. I thought the reason you made a patch via flashing is because the system files were locked/open by the system. Anyway, i am extremely thankful for this'll as there is no other way to fix the bug without adding extra steps to wake the screen.
You should definitely share both odexed and deodexed patches with others. I personally don't know how i could tollerate that bug for much longer. I'm sure there are others who don't use the lock screen. Plus, this would give a chance for others to appreciate your work by dontating for your time and effort.

The flashable zip is just one method to get the files where they need to go. Literally all it does is overwrite the 2 files in /system/framework by moving the 2 files over from the zip - but there are definitely other ways to do such things. Some are more comfortable with this route, others are more comfortable w/ getting /system to be rw and move the files manually.
I'll likely post this at some point in the next few days

I don't mean to revive a dead thread or anything, but this bug has been driving me CRAZY & the smali hacking worked perfectly for me, thank you!!!
FYI, I'm willing to help people out with this as well. If anyone wants this done but doesn't wanna mess with the java stuff, PM me & send me your android.policy.jar and I'll hack it for you

Glad to hear

Is it possible that my phone isn't affected? If its a 4.1.2 bug, it should be in all phones with same version right?
This is not happening to my phone. Whether I have lock screen activated or not. I'm rooted but running stock ROM and I have Nova launcher installed if thats even important.

It's not all notes.

Absolutely. just PM me. Yeah, you have to be rooted but that's easy to do & worth it for this hack & all the other things you can do once you're rooted.

[Q] Play Store Issue w/Sbux

Just got my Note 4 today. *ahem* Long time lurker, firs time poster.
Migrating from my iPhone, yes. I'm Team whatever I suits my needs. I'm back on my Droids. Also have the OG Moto X.
So, Trying to get my apps again and ran across an issue getting my Starbucks Card back... Only avail was for "Starbucks Hong Kong." This is weird, so asked a buddy he linked me the Sbux for Merica' and when opened in play store says "device not supported" .... WTF? -__- Can anyone else verify this? Or shine some light on this.... Is it because it's a new phone? 0.o'

This has happened to me with a couple apps, like Trials Frontiers. I assume it's because of the settings used by the developers when publishing some apps, it should be easy to fix, we just need to make them aware of the issue.
