Its a non issue in my opinion. If you flash leaks, you know the chances. I flash the leaks and know o could end up with an epic doorstop. Long as its fixed when the official ota comes, it's cool

Nice article. Very informative. I personally never flash anything while on ICS. But based on that article that might not even be enough. It also gives us an idea that until Samsung/Google has fixed the issue we won'tbe sseeing an OTA updates. At least I would hope they wouldn't OTA an update that is going to brick a **** ton if devices.

I was victim of the superbrick towards the beginning. Whatever it did it really messed that thing up. If JTag can't repair it then it's hosed. Thanks for sharing.

It's faulty firmware from Samsung. Like was said above, until it's fixed, we likely won't see an OTA, and should never flash anything from ICS recovery.

Unlike Wizard Knight, I do see it as an issue, because it's faulty code from Samsung. People are not going to pay attention, or not read the full OP in an ICS thread and brick their phone. The fault here lies on both the person that flashed and on Sammy for their crappy code.

On the other hand, the kernel that Sbrissen is building from international GSII source is confirmed to have this code issue fixed, so we may not have to wait on Sammy to drop source to be able to use recovery again.

Yep Sbrissen and entropy got this fixed. Ive used his 3.0 Kernel and flashed about a billion times to test it lol. Its awesome and brick proof :] I just hope people wait for sbrissens 3.0 to be finished before they starting "borrowing" from it and calling it their own -_-.

Your post is a little misleading at best. This just a rehash of the conversation in two threads, including one in this forum:

Let's avoid hype on this, OK?

Avoid hype? This is very interesting. Ive been very very curious as to what was at the root of this since I was around for the first night of ICS leaks and a brick. Hype or not, its wonderful to see that information is being passed around and this is being worked on. Feels like a wonderful thing for the E4GT users.

My concern is that the information given to us is a big deal... It can easily be thought that someone either was negligent or worse by not addressing this sooner. I would rather see this through and hope the fix comes out soon... And hopefully without a blame game; otherwise people like Mr. Sumrall might not be willing to respond to future inquiries.

Hope that clears up why I mentioned hype.

Ahh yeah I got ya. I agree, I would much much rather see a fix and the knowledge that comes with it than seeing people get upset. I for one am happy to see things progressing and have no wish to blame anyone for anything. Even though it was a serious issue, we all take the risk of flashing things that are unknown upon ourselves.

You're kidding me, right? Fault of Samsung? We are flashing ROMs that are for internal purposes only. They could introduce an unknown android virus or brick code just to test the response time of their workers, and if we flash it then it is soley our fault. I won't fault Samsung or any other company for our crazy obsessions or need to be on the cutting edge, download their internal projects, and put them on our fully functional devices before they have said to do so.

Now if they release it as official and it bricks the device it is exactly the opposite and 100% their fault, not the flasher.
