So I just stumbled upon the whole EMMC brickbug issue, and realized my insert indefinite period of time dependent on Samsung here is ruined. Ruined is a harsh word. Let's use "dampened." I ran the Got Brickbug app and apparently mine is known to have issues. Read an extensive thread where some devs were talking to Sammy representatives about it but my knowledge on that.niche of tech is pretty much nonexistent
I was all set to flash task650s AOKP JB rom with the latest Fluxi kernel, and after some searching I couldn't really find a list of kernels that were safe (had emmc cap_erase disabled) but the search on my phone also turns up no results far often than I'd think possible..I did find one post bit it was outdated a couple months. And I read all cm kernels were safe but I really don't wanna run cm. And task650s ROM is packaged with the Fluxi kernel.so..does anyone know if.its safe? Like does it have the aforementioned cap disabled? And where would I check so as to.be informed when Samsung fixes this issue? Hell I'm glad I found it when I did or o might've bricked already. I also read that its not even a problem with sr, according to chainfire its mainly notes being affected. But still, I'm not gonna be able to get a new phone for awhile so I wanna play on the safer side for a couple more months at least. Also I recently flashed sky ics and cymbaline kernel and I was fine, but again idk if I just got lucky because I also read the bug doesn't follow a fixed pattern, like you could wipe/flash with no problems multiple times and then BAM random brick. Sorry of this is obviously listed somewhere.. the search on xda when accessed through my phone is really weird. And I don't have access to a computer at all. I did search the fluxi kernel OP but it didn't say anything about the cap being disabled. Heck I don't even know if it was the right version I was looking at. Help would be much appreciated, if it means staying on sky and keeping my phone functional then I can wait lol. Just wanted to see if I'm holding back for nothing or not, my inner desire to flashflashflash newnewnew changechangechange is left sad and neglected now.
