DO NOT attempt to activate swap on exhibit 2 using this method http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=1659231
It will cause a hard brick to the point of NO RETURN
NO DOWNLOAD MODE
phone gets recognized as qhsusb_download aka Qualcomm testing mode... IT WILL BRICK
This happened to me

Farewell Galaxy Exhibit/ Exhibit 2 users :crying::crying:

Sad, lkspooky. I am sorry to see you go, but thanks for letting us know what happened, so people here don't make the same mistake.

Had exactly same effect on my phone few weeks back

I just love this phone and trying to get it back. Happened after following the same article but can't blame that. I think the swapper app picked up some wrong partition to use as swap partition and deleted it.
