One click gingerbread question

[Cor-master]

So I accidently bricked a build #1010 phone using oneclick to revert to stock, not realizing it wasn't compatible. I found this today on XDA:

My phone currently is build 1009, got it through a warranty exchange, came with froyo pre-installed. Is it compatible or will I brick trying to run? I am also aware of the recovery and the "unsigned packages" thing...do I need to change the recovery first before I run? Thanks

You would brick if you went to 2.1, but that is totally compatible! Have fun and. After flashing that go look for. Stock KH3 and you have to flash KF1 then KH3. Just a min I will link you to everything.

Thanks for the quick response! Yes my previous phone was build #1008 and I ran oneclick several times on it with no issues. My wife made a warrenty claim on hers, and I thought i'd be nice and install cog on it, and I couldn't get the recovery to work so without even thinking about it I ran one-click on it, and I bricked it. Honestly I had no idea what build number my phone was back then, but after the brick I found out her new warranty exchanged phone was build #1010

Ever since I've been deathly afraid of running anything with bootloaders. When my speaker died on my original captivate I didn't run one-click, instead i used Odin3 and found a CWM flashable eclair rom, and ran that instead, and then used kies mini to go to froyo. I've had my newer captivate since July, and been running stock since, getting sick of all the issues it has, none of which i noticed in cognition. I actually logged on to get Froyo Cognition, but the links are all broke to it, so I figure I might as well try gingerbread out.

I'm on KH3 stock right now and its great! And it's the GB bootloaders that fix the 3button fix, no need for eclair bootloaders since they are backwards compatible!

Wait you hard bricked? with 2.1 stock 1 click? Ive heard of bootloops but never hard bricked.

He soft bricked probably, not lowly to hard brick on a 2.1 flash unless he did the3 button combo fix

Well I'm pretty sure it was hardbricked. It wouldn't do anything, no 3 button, no trick anyone suggested to try, it just stayed black and unresponsive. I don't have a jig but that was about the only thing I hadn't tried... So I gave up and made an insurance claim. And to be honest I haven't put a custom rom on since

Did anything happend if you pressed power? If it didn't then Odin might have failed while flashing a bootloader....

 

[Cor-master]

Nope nothing. Basically half way through it just stopped responding and i eventually gave up and unplugged. It wouldn't do anything. It happened to a friend of mine too but luckily for him when he pushed the power button he got the warning sign on the screen. My phone was completely dead and wouldn't respond at all

all you have to do use the odin one click to go back to stock which is jf6 then use odin 3 and you can goto kh3. no other flashes are needed. ive done it this way 10 times and no bricks.
