You can check by using the GotBrickBug.apk application. It will tell you and us if your phone is one of the safe ones.

My friend that tested and record video Wipe data in Stock Kernel and also CF ROOT have the brick bug, screenshot attached.

They did one more Wipe data in CF ROOT and a backup nandroid, he did not try the restore option.

Cheers

It's mostly a kernel issue, so check and double check the kernel, if it's based purely on update 4 sources, it's safe.

To those above thinking that wiping a few times without brick is good, it is not, once the code is enabled in kernel, the brick is inevitable, not necessarily on first or second tries.

There is a thread dedicated to the issue, read it.

I came across this info yesterday but it will be quite difficult for me to find it. It's in galaxy note sub forum in the thread talking about this brick bug, i'd like to find the post that states that the solution exists but Samsung is holding it back and does not allow its publication but I'm currently in a hospital and my only way of browsing is via Tapatalk, and the reception is very crappy.... Anyway, I will give it a try and see if I find that specific info... If I understood properly it could all be a matter of updating the damn Emmc chip to a different version. I'm not that pro and i could be mistaken,.... As said, I will do my best to retrieve that chunk of info (or you could help me find it)

this Got Brickbug? should be on the 1st post. To warn ppl if they have a faulty chip that leads to permanently destroy your phone with this stupid rom...

So many questions ... I'll try my best to be short

I did flash 4.0.4 and I am (so far) fine (and quite happy with it to be honest).
I have used mobile odin and did NOT use the .pit file. Using Mobile Odin I didn't do any wipe before flashing but I did select to wipe into Mobile odin. Everything went fine.

eMMMc check says that "Brick Bug ? = YES. Insane chip".

Am I risking a bricked S2 or am I fine since I have used Mobile Odin (hence didn't wipe from CWM)?

If I have to go back to 4.0.3, I read that I have to avoid Mobile Odin and I don't have to wipe before flashing. So basically I just have to :

• Put device into Download MODE (Home + Volume Down + Power)
• Click PDA and select I9100_CODE_I9100XXLQ5_CL753921_REV02_user_low_ship .tar.md5
• Click PHONE and select MODEM_I9100XXLQ5_REV_02_CL1165929.tar.md5
• Click CSC and select GT-I9100-MULTI-CSC-OXALQ5.tar.md5
• Then finally click START

Am I right?
Can I do a Wipe Data/Factory reset + a Wipe Cache after I have flashed a 4.0.3 back ?

Thanks in advance, 4.0.4 was too good to be true

Just use Cyanogenmod and you will be safe.... The thing is that the unsafe versions are the official ones, lol!
Need more reasons for leaving Sammy rom behind than risking your overpriced phone?
I don't...

if you wanna stay on 4.0.4 then flash CM9, which according with its author is MMC_CAP_ERASE free.
I dont know about if you now could wipe/factory reset, I wouldnt.
This happend because this was a leaked ROM that shouldnt be posted as official since the beginning.
I dont know, if jelly bean would be released first than 4.0.4, anyway, we need to learn from this lesson, NEVER flash a leaked/unofficial ROM or ANY rom based on this release. Every beta ROM has this MMC_CAP_ERASE "feature", I have no idea why.
