How scared should i be

I just came from the evo 3d and before that evo 4g and hero so all ive ever used are htc devices. I keep reading about bricking my et4g flashing ics roms. Is it really that big of an issue im a flashoholic and dont want a paper weight any advice would be much appreiated

Not if you follow the proper directions.
Also I think everyone should invest a few bucks in "Mobile ODIN Pro" and root file explorer. Those two apps are all you need to ensure you are safe. Check MD5's and such with root explorer, and mobile ODIN pro lets you safely odin kernels, modems, roms, stock roms, etc with built in MD5 checking.

Hey man I'm from 3d too and all I did was used the stock rooted ics rom and it's running great and was super easy to install. If u want that rom just go in development section and check out ff11 rom from sfhub. It's real easy to install. Not sure what ur looking for but I just wanted ics with root and that will give it to u if u just follow the directions. Good luck!

Follow OP install instructions to the T and your good... Mobile ODIN is well worth the $$!!

fear not grasshopper ...
read, read, read ... follow the directions posted in OP and have patience. many of the tales of bricking are in reality easily resolved by reading the info posted in the various threads. have a good time. most of the folks who use XDA are helpful and pleasant.

Thanks for all of th e feedback i bought mobile odin pro im assuming its better to use odin than to just use the flashable zips since people keep saying to use odin thats kind of new to me on htc it was all flashables or fastboot hopefully ill get the hang of samsung quick cause i love this phone i was a fool for hanging on the 3vo so long i do miss sense specially sense 4.0 but i have the 3d as wifi device now so its all good

I completely agree with bigtoysrock, make sure you follow the OP 100% without deviation and you should be OK.
Also you may want to check out vids on YouTube by Qbking77. His tutorials and reviews have been a huge help for me, might also be for you.

I love htc ability to to flash rom I was a flashoholc with my og evo.. Flashing took no more than 3 minutes.. This phone is extremely superior but I have not flahed a single rom since I got my phone for the same reason.. The proces seems complicated not because it's hard but because I got use to a completely different method of flashing.. I guess we just got to get used to the process

I just wanna warn you that sometimes when following an OP's instructions, you may accidentally make a mistake. Therefore I advise you first to understand what you are flashing before you flash it. I.e. in case you don't already know, learn what a kernel is, what different types of kernels are, what not to do (read the brick thread - I think it's a sticky), etc. Also, remember to always make nandroids and check md5 sums.

I agree with both bigtoysrock and wormsign. Follow the OP 100%. I bricked the other day cuz I didn't follow it. Learned my lesson the hard way. Luckily, Sprint replaced it.
Qbking77's vids have been a huge help for me too. I highly recommend them.

guess i should have went with my gut feeling i flashed a few touchwiz roms with no probs then i tried to flask aokp and got a emmc error phone bootlooped then tried to flash back to stock with odin and get stuck on data.img guess i bricked it in one day and it isnt a sprint device i got it off craigs list and flashed it to verizon so no insurance o well maybe there will be a fix soon =(

[FIX] Dual Core always appears to be on OR off, governors default to performance.

Maybe some of you on custom ROMs have noticed that your second core functions strange, which would also mean terrible battery life and abnormally hot phones.
Well, this is due to something causing the cores to switch governors to "performance" upon boot. The only way to fix it is from a script or other app that controls CPU. That's not all. The second core seems to not function according to specs. It will either always stay on, or always stay off. mpdecision doesn't appear to work properly.
Well, I've narrowed this down to "samsungani" and "samsungpowersound" which are located in /system/bin/. Removing these at an attempt to get custom boot animations working and to get rid of boot sounds are what's causing the funky core behaviors.
The fix is to restore the two files and chmod them 755 as well as chgrp to 2000 to get them back to the way they're supposed to be.
I'm not sure if any of this effects custom kernels but it sure does on the Stock kernel.
The file I uploaded will restore the samsungani and samsungpowersoundplay files to /system/bin/ as well as copy over silent PowerOn and PowerOff sounds.

Wow that's awesome that you figured this out. Great job!!

This is a awesome catch thank you very much. This may be a stupid question but can you provide a zip to fix this or do we need to do it through file explorer and if so can you give us a tutorial on how.

Does this do anything to the cpusleeper app (eugene)? Not the script, but the actual app for those who have it installed? Will the zip you provide defeat the need for the app? Thanks for any additional info!

Nah, the zip will only be adding those files back to /system//bin/ if they were removed, like in order to get support for custom boot animations.

Just flashed it rom definitively seems alot more responsive I was seeing the lag and just had some plain weird stuff going on glad we have a dev lime you to find stuff like this and squash it. Do we need to flash this after we flash a rom obviously your rom will have the fix so I'm not worried about it but for others who arent using your rom.
Edit: is there any way I can test to insure both cores are doing what they are supposed to be doing like an app per say

Well, it really only will matter if your current ROM includes a different boot animation and/or removes those files. In any other case, it will do nothing.

OK thanks again love the rom I know you get asked this a lot but if you ever need a tester let me know I use to test for mijuah but my son stole my s2 so I'm bored now lol.

Zip applied, and I had to duplicate the process to confirm what I thought I saw:
Been running blazer 1.6 for a few days now and I honestly don't know what (if any) boot animations are built into that rom, but in the spirit of testing (and flash addiction) I used this zip.
This is what I noticed (and duplicated to confirm)--
Chainfire's live dmesg/logcat (I used paid versions) were replaced by this zip file.
When I "reinstalled" the first attempt found no boot animation files. I attempted install again and this time it did indeed "repair" the logcat/dmesg boot screen.
This is my first dual core so I have no experience in these apps working or not on such phones.
If this is wide spread then perhaps chainfire might want to look into an update to his code, if this is specific to the sgs3 then maybe we have deeper issues to delve into.
Sprint...LF9...Blazer1.6...no other customizations

Which instructions have you looked at? And have you tried seeing if following the Windows instructions worked? It should work about the same when running programs such as Odin or Heimdall. The hardest part will probably be finding the proper phone drivers and software that work with Linux.
Edit: If possible, try using a virtual machine in linux. Apparently some people in other forums were able to use WINE in Linux when using Windows software. (I currently use Windows so that's as much information I can give you).

I'm still sporting the koodo stock rom(too busy) rooted and a bit debloated and getting awesome battery life compared to the g2x. I'm in Canada and my carrier is wind mobile (3g/wcdma only service) on the g2x with a 1980 mah battery barely made it over 14 hours. However, this setup gives me around 24 hours uptime with approximately 3.5 hours screen on time. So once you spanking it to your like, should be good.

yeah i guess im just going to have to root, debloat and flash a diff kernel and see if the battery life improves. my main concern is tethering though. i remember once i flashed CM7 on my g2x, i had free tethering capabilities. So im hoping that will come with CM9. Not sure how stable CM10(Jellybean) is for the S2.

Use heimdall on linux. I've flashed my S3 on it, no problem. It works a little differently than Odin though, so look up instructions.

i actually found a linux distro that comes with heimdall preinstalled as well as the android sdk. It's called Santoku. Find it here -> https://santoku-linux.com/ here is directions for using heimdall on santoku -> https://santoku-linux.com/howto/development-tools/howto-run-heimdall-samsung-devices-santoku-linux

......dude the whole point of having a linux OS is so that you can customize it, and control its every aspect. You should not be getting a distro just because it has something preinstalled.

Maybe thats the reason you have a linux box. I have one cuz i like the freedom and power it provides. Which in turn allows for easy and awesome customization. You can customize a Window OS a great deal too. Again for me its the freedom and power. I have been using arch awhile now. A little before the glibc symlink issue. Which broke your system if you updated. So im not new to Linux nor am I wet behind the ears.
i figured i would share with someone who isnt an elitist bsd user like yourself. Who just wants a distro with everything already installed. Some people dont have the time or are just new and havent learned that much yet but want to root their phones. idk either way i thought it was cool.

the bsd in my name is actually just a coincidence, but there is a good chance of arch having heimdall. open terminal and do "pacman -Ss heimdall" you will get a result. you would then do "sudo pacman -S result" it would download and install it. There may also be a heimdall-frontend get it as well, so you can do everything with a gui. Once you have them installed run it as root, or else it won't work. Arch is an awesome distro. Never switch distros and learn.

are you really trying to school me on using pacman? lol Ive been using Arch for over a year and a half i would hope i know how to use its package managaer! i told you ive been using it since before the glibc symlink issue so i dont know what your trying to accomplish here?! i can program in a few languages too.
i asked this question cuz im new the samsung galaxy. im comkng from the g2x. Which was an awesome phone!! ive had it for 2 years and the tools to flash cwm were linux scripts. Flashing roms was as easy as downloading it then rebooting into recovery from the terminal, wiping, then flashing. So now im back at square one cuz my g2x screen broke for the 3rd time. so i figured i try something new.
on top of it my laptop hard drive crashed and i havent had the time to transfer my data from the burned out hdd to the new one. so i just run live cds. i roof for a living too. 5 days a week and have a fiance and a kid. so my freetimebisnt spent on a computer. idk where this thread is going but i got what i need to know... heimdall. yeah thanks

well heimdall doesnt seem to work no matter what i seem to do. So rather than spend forever and a day trying to fix what might be fixable ag this point, i got ahold of a windows computer. so a few questions for someone who would know. one, i have found directions and the apps for the tmo s2 but it says it is for the hercules s2 and it will brick any phone that isnt a hercules version of the s2. how can i tell if i have the herc version? I just want to root for now. so can someone point me in the right direction.

Use the Galaxy S2 Tool (based on Odin) here:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1650908
T989 is the Hercules. So you should be good.
As for recovery, go with the new Twrp it is just bulletproof. CWM has some issues with some of the newer roms along with some wiping issue.
So first flash a recovery (CWM or touch) via the above tool (some older versions are included), then once you reboot to CWM /CWM touch simply flash the below TWRP recovery. It will replace the existing recovery after reboot. Make your stock nandroid with
TWRP, CWM backups are not compatible with TWRP and vice versa.

Ok that rules out the easy one. It would not hurt to flash the FI27 modem. If that don't get you anywhere I personally would check the md5 then dirty flash the Rom over itself to restore the stock kernel. That'll help narrow the possibilities.

I sent him a flashable FI27 modem. For some reason his el29 was not working for him. I only suggested the FI27 modem cause I know my copy is good. If you want to try it, drop me a PM and I'll send you the DB link.

hey thats cool and would try that but right now my phone is a paper weight that i can't seem to get out of bootlooping .. stock sprint jellybean

Get into download mode.
Grab a one click full restore gb27. And use that to get you back.
If you are having problems getting into download mode, be patient. If the partitions are jacked up you have to be quick with the fingers - on and off of the keys to get to download mode.
Also take the battery out of the phone for a full 30 earth minutes before you try again to let the capacitor I completely drain.
If your getting boot loops you haven't bricked...yet
