It is possible, but it won't boot that easily. To get it booting will take a lot of time, like till June next year (provided you do not give up).

Συμπατριώτη έκανα μαλακία!

Hello there. I did something silly, I was on gb nAa with minicm7 and I wanted to try cm10.
So I used flashtool to flash the new jb kernel for minicm10, I flashed minicm10 all ok!

But because it was a little bit more slow than 7 i rushed and I wanted to roll back to MiniCM7.

So I FORGOT the "uninstall" step for the new kernel and I just used flashtool to install the old nAa kernel.

So now, I got no recovery, cannot do anything with the back button and plugging the usb (so no seus and/or flashtool).

It's a super brick.

Is there anything I can do to un-brick from this situation ?

I remind: no boot, just got stuck in the nAa logo, no recovery, no back button + usb combination for seus.

Prepare flashtool to flash the old kernel, and then:
While your phone is on the nAa logo, plug in your usb-cable, press home and power together and as soon as the screen goes black, press back-button to go into flashmode.

your phone is not brick.

> keep your phone on in whatever state (i believe in that situation your phone cant be turn off except leaving battery to drain)
> prepare flashtools to install nAa JB kernel
> connect your usb cable phone to computer
> force restart your phone by pressing home and power button together.
> nAa JB kernel will be flashing
> now, you can enter cwm to start "uninstall step"

I can reboot it with home+power. I can also shut it down because I cut it open and I remove the battery cable.

But pressing back + usb plug doesn't boot. Flashtool doesn't sees it.
Only when I leave the back button it will open again.
That's why I said no back+usb :(

Okay. But you can try my method... you don't have to turn off your phone and using back button..
