HELP HELP HELP!!! i9000 flashing boot screen after using odin

I just tried to do a ROM update: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=940671
And now after the phone reboots I get the flashing boot screen Samsung GT-i9000. I can get back into download mode, but nothing else.
What shoudl i do? This is my first time doing this, go figure....lol

yet another deadly post.
anyway reflash the darkys 9.2 make sure you add 512 pit and tick the re-partition box in odin.
make sure KIES is closed if you have it, even in the icon tray.
let odin do its thing, if the phone starts talking after the flash dont panic, its normal

I just did that and no luck. same thing... I just remembered that I had recovery 3e not 2e. does that matter???? I am getting a flashing loading circle (looks like a sun) in the middle of the screen. Then I unplug the usb, and get a flashing galaxy s boot screen.

that dont matter as darkys rom will give you 2e recovery (voodoo kernel)
load all your files into odin and take a screenshot and post it here so i can double check for you.

well all that looks good
try using odin 1.7 its much safer you may get better results.
if that fails we will have to get you back to stock and try again

I did buy this phone used, so it might have not had a stock rom on it? would that matter... I will try odin 1.7 first. Thanks again for the help!!!!

no that does not matter, putting the phone back to stock will in theory make the phone new again. then we can eradicate any errors and start again.
let me know how it goes with odin 1.7

Try to put the original gingerbread rom and follow the video in darky's post. I flashed the same rom some time ago and had no problems. Be careful in Odin what options you check/uncheck and to put the PHONE, PDA and CSC.
Good luck.

Still no luck.....
Same flashing screen....
BTW this is a GTi9000-M

original gingerbread rom???? From????
PHONE, PDA and CSC.
???? I never put anything under phone or csc

bell version ?? well you forgot to tell me that earlier didnt ya ? lol
what rom was you on prior to this ?
you ony get phone pda csc when you have a full firmware. darkys 9.2 is compressed into 1 pda .md5 file so dont worry

Model: i9000M
Firmware: 2.2
Baseband: I9000XXJPK
Kernal: 2.6.32.9 shout.lee @ SEP-09 #6
Build: FROYO.UGJL2
LOL, sorry man...

looks stock to me.
as if darkys 9.2 hasnt even touched your phone
before we get you flashing back to stock, download and flash a kernel that supports I9000M - something like CF-Root, speedmod, voodoo..
flash that through ODIN and let me know if its successful, then we can do a wipe and flash something else in recovery

Can you recommend one (Link)? I have no idea what one to use.

I propose also versions only the lagfix only, called stock+Voodoo because they are build around the kernel compiled by Samsung
stock+Voodoo-latest XYJS8:

Flash with Odin: http://dl.project-voodoo.org/stock+V...9000-XXJPY.tar
Flash with CWM: http://dl.project-voodoo.org/stock+V...ned-update.zip
JPX, JPY, JS3 versions are based on Samsung pre-compiled kernels. This is why those are feature limited (no Voodoo sound, no BLN, no sharpness adjustment).

Ok, I got the older version the newer one isn't allowing any downloads due to quota issues. I have a .tar, now what? remember this is my first time doing this, so please be nice...lol not that u aren't....
---- Actually I think I got it form the bottom of the page now.. 13e 500hz.tar----

Do I put repartition check? and a pit file too? I assume IO put the .tar under pda?

The file from samfirmware is defective. You are better off updating thru kies.
Download DXJK2 from here then connect to kies and update....
good luck!

Ironically, I just flashed mine with the one found on samfirmware.com as I needed to send my unit back to Samsung for RMA on the battery, (battery kept on shutting down for no reason) and it worked just fine. Phone, CSC was all there. They gave it the once over and actually "reformatted" it for me, just to diagnose in case it wasn't a software issue. Lo and behold, it shut down on them right after the "reformatting" and confirmed my issues for them!
Just follow the restocking part of the guide found on Teamovercome.net, but instead of using the standard JQ1.tar file we provided, just use the tar file that came from samfirmware and you should be alright. That's what I did anyway, and it was all fine.
Just remember to do change the CSC from the Korean one to your appropriate market's CSC. The Malaysian CSC was XME.

If i remember correctly, after flashing the firmware, go to recovery mode, it will do some initialisation and once it's done, you do a reboot, you should see the pda & csc..

tried flashing DXJK2 but it keeps on rebooting at samsung logo.

OK, just for fun, I flash back to stock DXJPE from Overcome Jupiter.
The DXJPE firmware is the same from samfirmware.
Using Odin, put pit file 'gt-p1000_mr.pit', put PDA file the downloaded tar file and start flashing.
Upon flash successfully complete, the tab is observed to be stuck in Download mode.
Power off the tab, then enter recovery mode (power button, volume up button)
Once on recovery, will see runs of red text. Dont worry
From recovery perform clear cache, factory reset.
Reboot tab.
Tab should boot up to the familiar language setup screens.
Dial *#272*<imei no>#* to change to your desired CSC.

[Q] CANADIAN I9000M users ONLY Please - How to go from stock KC1 to JVR

I, like many users it seems, are a little apprehensive about installing Cooked ROMS onto our phones because the HOW-TO's are rather generic.
Because our phones have been prone to SD card failures, I thought I'd extend this thread as a request to someone out there who has a CANADIAN SGS I9000M that has upgraded his/her phone to the new JVR (not darky's or any other custom one, just the leaked one from Samsung) to tell the rest of us apprehensive users just how you did it.
I understand these firmwares, at least JVQ or JVR are european versions so I guess we apprehensive users would also need to know about radio's and the whole like.
So to get started, has anyone out there on Bell Mobility's i9000m gone from the stock Froyo 2.2 KC1, to the new JVR or JVQ?
If so, can you please offer the rest of us first-timers a complete and thorough step by step on how you did it?
If this thread is redundant, can you please direct us to a thread that will give us a step by step for OUR phones, and not generic ones? I ask this because it seems that only ours has had the SD failure.
Thank you

I just used the guides and nothing happened, from what I undertand if you have a phone dated later than 1210 or 1012, not sure witch order they come in, you'll be fine to check just remove battery and the number should be there.
Sent from my GT-I9000 using Tapatalk

Well my phone says "10.12" at the bottom left of the IMEI/SERIAL sticker under the battery.

I went from KC1 to JVP, now on JVQ; JVR would be the same process:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1102881
I was also wary of flashing anything other than stock Kies FW, but couldn't wait any longer for bell or samsung to release it over Kies. JVQ is siginificantly better than KC1 imo.
(the below was done after a backup)
The EXACT process I used to flash was:
1) get firmware from Ramad (from the link posted earlier) and place in a folder on your machine.
2) get odin 1.82 (there's also 1.7 and 1.3, but iirc, there was a suggestion to stay away from 1.7 b/c it was not as reliable as 1.3)
3) open odin and place PDA, Phone, and CSC files from Ramad's download in their respective 'slots'.
***note: I did not repartition, so I had only 'Auto Reboot' and 'F. Reset Time' checked
4) enter download mode in phone (vol down + home + power)
5) connect phone to computer via usb (there should be a dialog under 'Message' saying 'Added' and 'ID:COM' should have something there, as in Ramad's post)
6) flash files by clicking 'Start'
7) after flashing successfully, it will reboot the phone...disconnect phone.
Congrats! you're done!
1-7 is the flashing to JV*, but I did the below b/c I wanted the KC1 modem.
8) do same process as above but with only original KC1 modem file (the Phone one)...so PDA and CSC are left blank in odin
Note: you probably could have left the Phone file and flashed only PDA and CSC...perhaps even only the PDA file from JV*, but I selected all 3 first and, iirc, that is what is suggested if flashing for the first time from Froyo to GB.
Hope that helps.

Thanks mk_ln...
Still learning so I hope these questions don't deter anyone from helping.
As far as I can see:
PIT Files
PIT files are only needed if you are repartitioning? Are there any advantages to repartitioning?
CSC Files
As far as I understand it, these are "Country Specific Settings"? I noticed you flashed this as well? Seeing as you are using Bell and I guess JVQ is European firmware, do you notice a problem?
Modem File
So if I leave the Modem file unchecked, it will keep the KC1 modem file thats already on my phone? Any adverse effects of doing that through ODIN?
PDA File
Is this the Gingerbread portion? What I mean is, does anyone know if changes have been made to Modem and CSC files? Or are they carried forward each time?

Also, if someone does do this procedure... how easy is it to undue? Meaning, if Samsung finally gets their heads out of their A$$ and gives us gingerbread, can we go back to stock?

Just do the same but with KC1 easy as pie. Also before installing you apps make sure your csc is not kor. Can't remember what code to ise for that but you can do it with nitrality

I did the same as this, but somewhat saved a step. I downloaded JVQ and KC1 from samfirmware.com
Then at step 3, I selected the JVQ PDA and the JVQ CSC, but selected the KC1 Phone file. Then flashed with repartition checked.
*edit* I also put in the 512 pit file.

Got mine on release day last year. Dated 10/07 and have flashed numerous times including the current jvr. I do believe the bootloader update that came with jl2 fixed the dying sd issue. Happy flashing!

Thanks for your help too... so the JVQ CSC file works ok for your i9000m even though "CSC" stands for "Country Specific Code" or so I've read?

It's been working great, the phone has never been more stable.

I downloaded JVQ and JVR from samfirmwares - and all of the files have a .tar extension.
However I downloaded the KC1 file from Ramad's thread, and all his files are coded as .tar.md5
any reason why? Is there a difference?

You don't have to worry about the difference in file extensions. My experience was the same. Simply choose the .tar file for both your PDA (and CSC if desired). And choose the PHONE_XXKC1.tar.md5 for your Phone file. 512 pit and repartition and flash away.

Ok so is there any difference if I download Ramad's files over the ones at samfirmware?
Do they contain bloatware or anything? And to all that have done this do we have all our radio bands with no issue? I hear some people losing 850 or something?

reflashing kc1 will give you the modem with the 850 band irrespective of which version of GB you install
use Ramad's files or use samfirmware, install stock using odin and then flash kc1 either in odin or using the recovery option and a zip version available in a couple of places on xda and through perkas file stash
use a custom kernel and install a custom rom as per your preference: lots of choices
in the end, you can do a complete clean and reflash to stock if you ever want to get back to a pure "Bell" state
if and when Bell issue their promised update, it will be posted here and on samfirmware and if there's an updated modem and csc we can flash that too
imagine: life without Kies... lots have done it and are way happier and their phone's way better!

So after reading these posts,wich modem can i try and is working for *****ohh sorry BELL instead of JL2 and KC1 ???
ive tried JV1 and JK3 just to see if they were working and its ok...not tested them for long time...

I flashed XXJVR (all 3 files+pit..repartitioned) and had no issues except for the modem missing the 850MHz band.
I also tried the "make any modem have 850MHz band" hack that you can find by searching the forum. It appeared to work, the modem would allow me to choose 850MHz, but whenever I was in an area with only 850MHz coverage, I would lose signal. Checking my wife's identical i9000 confirmed that hers was in 850MHz mode while mine was still in 1900 MHz mode.
So obviously I flashed back to KC1 modem and have had no issues since.
Also note that 2.3.4 doesn't yet have any known exploits so a simple one click root won't work. I hacked up my own kernel to provide me with root (since I am not fond of all the tweaks the other kernels offer) but ran into issues with low space on the /system partition. If you decide to go this route know that you'll have to remove some files from /system to gain root.
My plan is to flash back to Bell's gingerbread rom if they ever release it.

.tar.md5 files are just regular tar files with the md5 checksum appended to the end. When untarring them, tar just ignores the extra bytes, but odin can use the checksum to make sure there is no corruption of the archive.

looks like KC1 is the best one so far

Ok so, just to be devil's advocate here. Does this procedure sound right? I'm making this procedure overly detailed to ensure I miss nothing.
1. Download JVQ and KC1 firmwares from either samfirmware.com or Ramad's thread.
2. Extract both files.
3. Download ODIN and extract files.
4. Open odin. (File says I9003_Odin3 v1.82.exe, is that correct? I9003?)
5. Assuming I'm using JVQ Code(PDA), KC1 Phone(Modem), and JVQ CSC, Should ODIN look like this?
5.a) This is without Re-Partition and PIT file. Do I have to Re-Partition and use a PIT File?

7. Connect Phone to Computer via USB (ODIN should say 'Added' and 'ID:COM' should have the COM PORT Listed.)
8. Press 'Start' on ODIN to flash files.
9. After flashing, it will reboot the phone, keep the phone connected until boot process is finished.
10. Disconnect the phone.
Sound right to all you guru's? Any answer to 5a)? Do we need to RePartition and use a PIT file?

I9000M Bell Vibrant Root

Hi XDA members! Very excited to join this community and expand my knowledge or rather learn about development. I know NOTHING so please bare with me. I'm trying to root my Galaxy S Vibrant and I've been reading about rooting for months now with the hope of installing a custom ROM(?) like Cyanogenmod, but when I actually set out to do this I've been more confused. I guess there's different ways of rooting depending on carrier, version number, build type, os version, etc. I've tried to read the step by step processes of doing it, but I can't find links or the proper files to do it. I'm such a noob to this that I'm finding it discouraging. I'm not sure exactly of some of the terminology that is being used on these forums so that's why I need a walk through with all the links of what I need to do. I know that there's a learning curve and I'm willing to go through it, but I don't even know where to start. Can someone please walk me through this step by step on how I can root my phone and I'll worry about installing Cyanogenmod later?
Some phone details:
OS version: 2.3.3
kernal version: 2.6.35.7-I9000UGKG3
build number: GINGERBREAD.GKG3

Why stay on 2.3.3 when you can upgrade to 2.3.5? There are next to no custom roms available for your version of firmware. Your phone is basically the same as an I9000 international. Pretty much everything made for the i9000 will work on I9000M, the only thing that I do after I flash a new rom is flash my modem back to UGKG3, which is the modem you are using right now....check your phone in settings>phone>baseband version and you will see this is so. Go to this link:http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1102881 and download 2.3.5 Europe: XXJVT/XXJVT/OXAJVT/Sbl (MultiCSC), extract the files. You want to use the one that says CODE. Now download 2.3.3 North America: UGKG3/UGKG3/BMCKG3/Sbl (MultiCSC), extract the files. You will use the ones that say CSC and PHONE. Now download (from the same link) Odin and pit files. Its under How to flash (you should read all of that about 5 times over) extract the files. You will have your Odin tool and 3 pit files. Your gonna use the one that says 512pit. So open up Odin...put the file from XXJVT that says CODE in the pda section....where it says phone use the file from UGKG3 that says PHONE...where it says CSC use the file from UGKG3 that says CSC...where it says PIT use the file 512pit.
Next you need to put your phone in download mode. Power it down and wait for it to vibrate about 10 seconds after screen goes black. Now hold down all together volume down + home key + power button. You should see download mode. Hook your phone up to your computer...you will see a com port on Odin go yellow...that means your connected. Press start....Its will take about 10 minutes. After Odin will say Pass, and reset...your phone will begin resetting. Once it reboots you will be running the XXJVT but with the North American modem.
Now you want to root...You need to choose a kernal that is made for XXJVT. I currently use Semaphore 1.8.0, there are newer versions of this kernal available and many other XXJVT kernals available. This is just my preference. You can find the download here:http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1112908 Its at the bottom of the first post.
semaphore_kernal_jvt_1.8.0.tar....this file does not need to be extracted.
Power down your phone again and put it in Download mode....reset odin to remove the previously used file...now put the semaphore download in PDA....connect phone....com port goes yellow....press start....after 10 seconds it will say pass, reset...phone will reset and voila you have rooted your phone.
There is a tone of information on this site, just read up and learn...Its almost impossibe to mess up your phone beyond repair....Just read everything 3 or 4 times before doing anything.

what do you mean by flashing back to the UGKG3 modem?
also, are there any other kernels beside the Semaphore one that you mentioned? Cuz i'm reading the changelog and it saids that the 720p video recording is broken and I really rely on my phone for videos....
I thought CM7 runs its own kernels ... can I use that instead?

After you are rooted, you might flash a rom on your phone like me Im on Simplicity rom, once I flash it, it changes my modem, so I flash my UGKG3 modem back in odin, since that is the north american modem that gives me the best signal.
As for the semaphore kernal I suggested, yes there are many. The one I suggested does not break 720 recording. Your are talking about semaphore 1.8.0bm...the bm means big memory, it has a bit more ram. I suggest semaphore 1.8.0...without the bm it does record 720 no problem, I use it all the time. As for CM7, I dont know...But I do know you need cwm in order to flash it.
Like I said there are more current versions of Semaphore available, just make sure you get the one that doesnt say bm at the end. The reason I suggest 1.8.0 is because it comes with superuser app and cwm app. Although Im hearing 1.9.1 is very good, I dont believe it has thes apps included so you would have to go and get them seperate...not a huge deal, Im just trying t make this easier for you.

ok... got rooted and new kernel....
time to play around to see if I can get CM7 on it
thanks again for all the help

How did you do it so quickly? I read all of vanis' stuff, which was very helpful, but since I'm a noob I don't even know where to start. I was passionate about doing this, but every time I re-read what I have to do I get confused, frustrated and give up. It seems overwhelmingly enough that it would take me an entire weekend to do

Well, lets get something clear first... i got it rooted and flashed the kernel, i'm still having problems flashing to CM7 ... for some reasons, i'm having a boot loop during the installation process. So everytime, I need to re-ODIN with vanisleryan's instructions again just to get the phone to stop bootlooping. Since it doesn't look like ppl on this thread is familiar with CM7, i've gone looking for help on anther thread.
As for the ODIN part, i know it does seem overwhelming, but this is not the first 'droid device i've rooted, this is just the first Samsung device i'm rooting (hence my problems )
If you read vanisleryan's instructions, its really as straight simple as that.
Just download the 4 files that was indicated:
1) 2.3.5 Europe: XXJVT/XXJVT/OXAJVT/Sbl (MultiCSC)
2) 2.3.3 North America: UGKG3/UGKG3/BMCKG3/Sbl (MultiCSC)
3) Odin tool and 3 pit files
4) Semaphore 1.8.0 (this is optional because there are other suitable kernels, but I'm using this one too just for convenience)
get that done first and we can take it one step at a time.
first big question before you start:
- do you know how to get your SGS into Download Mode and does ODIN recognize your phone?

I learned how to use Odin the hard way (issue following a Kies upgrade), so I'll pass on what I've learned. Hope this will help.
If you have the abomination known as Kies installed, you already have the USB phone drivers on your PC.
As noted in vanisleryan's post, download the JVT, KG3, Odin, and Semaphore rooted kernel files.
The JVT, KG3, and Odin files are self extracting archives, so just double click and indicate where you want them to extract to.
Leave the Semaphore tar file as-is.
Locate the directory where Odin unpacked itself to and run Odin.
Click on PIT and select s1_odin_20100512.pit from the directory where Odin is extracted to.
Click on PDA and select PDA_XXJVT_Sbl.tar.md5 from the GT_I9000_XXJVT_XXJVT_OXAJVT_Sbl directory
Click on PHONE and select PHONE_UGKG3.tar.md5 from the GT_I9000M_UGKG3_UGKG3_BMCKG3_Sbl directory
Click on CSC and select CSC_BMCKG3.tar.md5 from the GT_I9000M_UGKG3_UGKG3_BMCKG3_Sbl directory
After you have selected the files, your Odin should look like this:
{
"lightbox_close": "Close",
"lightbox_next": "Next",
"lightbox_previous": "Previous",
"lightbox_error": "The requested content cannot be loaded. Please try again later.",
"lightbox_start_slideshow": "Start slideshow",
"lightbox_stop_slideshow": "Stop slideshow",
"lightbox_full_screen": "Full screen",
"lightbox_thumbnails": "Thumbnails",
"lightbox_download": "Download",
"lightbox_share": "Share",
"lightbox_zoom": "Zoom",
"lightbox_new_window": "New window",
"lightbox_toggle_sidebar": "Toggle sidebar"
}
Put your phone in download mode (You should see this guy):
connect the phone to your computer, wait for Odin to recognize the phone (yellow coloured background in ID:COM box) and then press Start.
After you have performed the initial flash and it succeeds, disconnect your phone from your computer and close Odin.
Open Odin again, click PDA and select Semaphore_kernel_JVT_1.8.0.tar
Do not select anything else. Put your phone in download mode again, connect to your computer.
When Odin indicates it has recognized your phone, press the Start button.
Once complete, you'll be running a rooted i9000m with JVT codebase and will be using the Bell modem and related info.

Hi,
so i have a few kinks with the instructions provided here....
flashing to ezbase was straight forward, no problems there...
however, when i rebooted into recovery, i noticed that it was the 3E recovery and not a CMW recovery...
I've never flashed a CM7 ROM w/o CMW, but I gave it a try anyway...
and of course, i got an error ... "E:failed to verify whole-file signature" and "E:signature verification failed"
any suggestions?

To add another voice to the chaos:
The JVT modem is working well for my Bell gt-i9000m. I'm on Telus but they share frequencies so Bell should be cool too. If you're on cm7 check out siky_dude's modem thread in the developer forum.
Beware ... once you start flashing roms you're going to be doing it constantly. Get to know your backup/restore tools....
roboticly yours

Did you need to do anything special to enable the 850 frequency, or is that what the KG3 CSC addresses (still a noob at some of this myself)?

You're right the jvt modem will work but you'll find your reception a hell of alot better if you use the KG3 modem.

would you happen to have a copy of the EZbase MD5 files that you can share?
i dunno what else i can do.. every link I find is either broken or it leads me to the same place that I d/l it from yesterday
also, a couple other questions
1. can i flash a different kernel with while running ezbase (ie: Semaphore_kernel_JVT_1.8.0)
2. in ODIN, i know PDA = kernel, but when ppl say flashing the modem, does the modem = PHONE .... or does modem = CSC?

Hi,
for some reason, the DJBROM wouldn't flash successfully. I was still getting the 3E recovery and nothing flashed properly with the stupid recovery.
anyhoo, i ended up flashing ezbase 4.0 with TalonDev 2.2 kernel
finally, using that combination, I was able to get CWM3 onto the phone
and from there, I knew what to do and now I finally got CM7 nightly running
thanks again for all your help

Odin hangs flashing factoryfs.img [while downgrading from ICS leak)

Hello everyone
I hope one of you might be able to help. I wanted to downgrade my Note to stock GB because I lost root on an ICS leak. I have done this successfully before but today pc odin suddenly hangs in the middle of flashing the factoryfs.img of a stock kernel (I used this one but tried others as well: N7000XXKJ4_N7000VD2KJ1_N7000XXKJ4_HOME.tar.md5).
Because of this I can now only boot the phone into download mode. I have also tried to use a pit file (as you can see in the screenshot, where I used this file: Q1_20110914_16GB.pit), because I thought the partitions might have been corrupted or changed by the ICS ROM but this didn't help either.
Do you have experienced this before? What else could I try?
Thanks a lot for any help

Why dont people make backups before flashing new roms
Takez 5-6min in CWM to make a backup of your current rom
If any thing goes wrong or you just want to go back to the old rom you just run the restore and you are back up and running in under 10min

Shouldnt have needed Odin to downgrade, if ya created a firmware folder on ya sd and followed ketans cwm guide to flash bk to rooted stock ya wouldt have an issue.
As for odin you flashed wrong, previous comments are right, your re-partition shouldnt have been on if you were flashing the all in one firmware thru pda, and you certainly shouldnt have been using the pit file to do that.
Hope you sorted the issue out, seriously, its risky business, the guides here on xda are perfect working guides, make sure you read them thoroughly and familiarize yourself with what your doing beforehand.
Also noted your using odin 1.85, i had issues with this, i reverted to odin 1.83 and have never had a problem since, give it a try, but if ya can enter download mode then ya shouldnt have an issue, i would reccomend downloading firmware KL8, set the pit file, re-partition and the other 2 leave ticked, set modem, code and multi csc, and flash and dont touch it till its finished and reboots, after that ya can then go and do whatever, but this should work, i downgraded from ics to kl8 no problem with odin 1.83.

Relax fellas! Your Notes are not committing mass suicides... just yet. Use the pit file attached below to flash your favorite (rootable) stock Gingerbread ROM. Just hit the "PIT" button in ODIN and select the pit file. And ALSO the PDA field should also be selected. Just use one of the guides. You need to extract the rar to get the pit file. I hope this helps.
Edit. When you select the PIT file, the repartition box will check itself, don't uncheck it.

Tried flashing multpile ROM's (GB and ICS), but even when they do succesfully finish I get stuck when booting at the "Samsung Galaxy Note" screen - with a nice yellow triangle.
So I'm done with it for now. Not trying anything new, until the guys in the Dev section find a way to fix it.

I am one of those who flashed TRR 1.6 with the angelom 1.2 kernel,
and while it didn't, luckily enough, brick my phone, it caused all sorts
of weird stuff, like gmail crashing etc.
I then flashed, as advised in the TRR thread, abyssnote 3.9, plus restored
a RR v22 backup, I'm back just fine now.
