Hey guys i'm just a sucker for customization was happy with ADW EX, then yeah i came across this thing called CM7 which supports amazing themes.
So i upgraded to 2.3 n rooted it. . .but i hardly had a clue about installing custom roms. i kept researching on the net n then one day decided to finally go for it.
The first step i s obviously installing the CWM Recovery n that's where i commited the BLUNDER!!
I flashed CWM from ROM MANAGER and then my phone was bricked like totally dead, i tried all the online solutions but nothin worked but luckily my warranty was still intact n the samsung guys rescued me.
after spendin considerable amount of time on the internet there are
3ways A GALAXY MINI can get BRICKED
1. FLASHING CWM Recovery From ROM MANAGER
2. Downgrade 2.2 from 2.3 using a 2.3 OPS
3. BY Flashing stock Rom on top of a Custom Rom
i've also found out that CWM has bricked quite a few HTC devices while PARTIONING SD CARD.
SO BE CAREFULL GUYS, any experiment u wanna try on, search for GALAXY MINI only.
Hope i was some help! If u know any other way then please post n make this thread as usefull as possible for first timers like me

If u flash CWM from Odin n use ROM MANAGER its not gonna harm mini, but yeah DON'T EVA try flashin CWM from ROM Manager. HARD Brick is surety guys trust me.
Usin ROM MANAGER alone will not brick the device howeva if u flash CWM then like i said its a surety.

Not completely true... Have read reports of people that used ROM manager only to enter CWM. And still, they bricked their phones. It's just a weird piece of software... I decided to stop using it... It ain't that hard to enter recovery mode manually...
I flashed once the stock rom over cm7 had no prob...!...haven't tried other two...anyway thnks for the info....

Not sure this is a real cause of brick. Sometimes, yt's necessary to upgrade base FW as part of custom firmware updates.

So thanks a ton for this valuable info. Will keep that in mind when I downgrade my phone...
Guys my intention was just to warn u. All i can say is ROM MANAGER is the cause for ova 90% of galaxy mini bricks.
The other two however i'm not so sure, neva tried it nor i wanna try it.
btw downgradin with wrong ops or flashin stock rom DOESN'T cause HARD BRICK, but it bricks nevertheless, just google "GALAXY MINI BRICK"
N don't blame me if it didn't brick ya phone lol my job is to warn the newbies, n those who think/are smarter than me they can continue their own thingy

At first: watch your freaking language... Cursing is for in the church.
Second: If you've been so stupid to install the CWM recovery that was created for another device, than you've got what you've deserved. There are so many guides on how to flash recovery on your SGM... So it's kind of your own fault...

What 'Knzo MOD"? If you have Nova8 then you have the latest kernel. unless you flashed the newly posted, which is for CM7 gingerbread then you have a problem.
im going to test this method this night since im still in school
ive tried to use lg's program to flash stock rom,but i cant get in to s/w download mod with volume+ key
ive tried to flash official rom before and i could get into download,but i cant get into it this,it is disapointing

Of course it's a big problem. the kernel is the heart of operating system. In Android, not every build of kernel are compatible. So before do anything with your phone, especially playing with kernel/ROM, please... please.. READ THE GUIDE or INFORMATION about it...

Before do that,
First, can you access ClockWorkMod via press+hold Power Button, and press continually Volume-Up, till you got into CWM menu?
If you can do it, then wipe date/cache. (to anticipate zero free space of internal memory)
Second, unbrick your phone.

The SGSII v8.1 patch u r talking about is jst a patch for the COmplete v8 ROM. it has recently been updated to v9 and it really is a gud ROM the Battery life is also better in the LAtest Release and it is almost stock based so u won't find A WHOLE LOT of UI changes on your ACe jst additions, and the PErformance is also gud.
other than this, you can try the MIracle ROM it is also a wonderful ROM bt as it is performance based, u can't expect a battery life of 1 day
As you roam around the forums you will learn slowly by trying and testing stuff.
Ohh and ACTUALLY, there is NO perfect ROM
im NEWBIE when it comes to flashing,
im planning to flash my phone atleast to a ICS or better rom but....
they said if you flash your galaxy phone there is a chance to brick it... is it also, ALL custom rom out in the net also here in XDA
can do this to my phone?.. how will i know if it is comes from good source?...
i have lot of question bout flashing my mini, like what is the first step i need to do, 2nd? and so on!
can i bring it back to the stock rom if the custom rom i picked have lots of bugs?
what is porting?
BTW MY PHONE IS ROOTED since last night
please enlighten me!!!
comments are much appreciated
you need a lot of reading, please read every sticky of the mini forum
you can take your phone back to stock by flashing firmware through Odin (PC software)
first you will need to be on gingerbread because every rom here is maid for gb
second read about cwm recovery, recovery is what you will need to flash custom rom
follow every procedure correctly and no brick will be in your path
i think im using gingerbread, ill provide SS..
so i need to DL ODIN in my PC(stock purposes?)
if i follow the step by step procedure 100%? no brick will happen?
is there any link for CWM RECOVERY?
google for flashing firmware to mini and you will get Odin
read about flashing cwm, now also Odin will be used and do jot use rom manager your mobile may brick
for 2-3 days do only reading then do what you want to
damn im fxckng scared to flash my phone even though i read tuts bout flashing
nothing to scare for when we are here just clarify all your doubts before doing anything

First you will have to flash CWM
Follow the steps in the link given below:
http://yagyagaire.blogspot.in/2011/09/installing-clock-work-mod-recovery-in.html#.UDIx1KniaM9
Then you have to install a custom ROM of your choice(according to your specifications)
I suggest Andro-id 3.2
Follow the link below to flash Andro-id 3.2:
http://roms4mini.blogspot.in/2012/05/andro-id-v-32.html
And that's it!
Since a last few days, I've been seeing a lot of threads in Q&A where users are complaining that their device stopped working after flashing recovery via ROM Manager. I created this thread so that people dont end up bricking their devices. ROM Manager does not work on ace. Do NOT trust any sites telling you to flash CWM recovery via Rom Manager. We have a working and stable unofficial CWM recovery already, you can download it from here - http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?p=18167974
Note to MOD - Please sticky this thread and copy it to Android Development section if possible.
ROM Manager is pretty much a fail for ALL devices. After I got my first Android, and was a n00b of rooting, I used ROM Manager to dl and flash CM7. Guess what?
Bootloop. Never touched it again. Of course, it was only a soft brick, and it was a simple fix, but since it was my first ever ROM and first ever Android and first ever root, naturally I freaked

Shouldn't this go in General section?
POTATO!!!!
Yes. It's a General thread. The ROM Manager thing is posted across this forum many times, so I don't see the point of making a sticky. About Q&A questions - there always were newcomers and always will be.

I know. I thought of putting it in development section because many people dont read general section before rooting. A lot of other device forums have similar types of thread in Development and Original development section. So, I felt like creating one for ace too.
As for the sticky thing, a lot of people dont care to go through the guides properly. A warning thread especially for Rom manager would make sure no one uses rom manager. I created this thread ecause a lot of people were ending up bricking their devices. If its useless, mod can delete it.
I agree with tj_droid, there are more and more cases coming up where the users try to flash cwm with rom manager and hard brick their phones! Threads like this could save many Ace's!
+1 to make it sticky!
First thing i do when i finish installing CyanogenMod roms is deleting Rom Manager, haha
Galaxy Ace Killed Dead
I hard bricked my Ace a couple of weeks ago. It has been sent for repair as it is still in warranty. I would have really appreciated this thread.
Thanks to this!..I was wondering what could be the other use of that "Rom Manager" i mean it also contains how to back up and flash rom like in CWM..but i didn't know that its dangerous if i use this to flash.. anyway thanks so much..:good:
I also bricked my ace but it was brand new (bricked within 2 days of buying). So they replaced it. I think i was lucky

I had a lot of stufff on it, that I should've backed up and didn't....

Hello guys I just sold my 4S and bought this Note 1 , anyway im new to android flashing and this stuff , ive heard that its way different than iOS restoring which is really easy and simple. Right now i got a few questions , If i missed a step or did something wrong it'll render my device unusable ofcourse , but will it be unrecoverable ? Thats the first thing. Second thing is that is it recommended that i install custom roms? right now i need one's with the Water Ripple effects on lockscreens , or if you can just tell me how to install the effect without custom rom's that'll be helpful because i want to flash official 4.1.2 jelly bean first and then the lockscreen effect. Im just new to the Android stuff and i dont know where to start Same feeling back in 2008 when i bought my first iPhone and got confused n' all
Read around for awhile, its what got me started when I first came here.
Again, read, read read, and avoid asking questions which have been answered countless times its annoying really.

If you just install stock official 4.1.2 rom via odin, it should come with the ripple effect.
Or if the update is already available in your country, you can just update it to the latest official rom via kies.

You'll notice that all of the download links are zip files.
You just need to extract the zip file until you find the .tar file.
Get 7-zip if you don't already have an archive reader.
Help with kernel
So recently I rooted my Samsung Galaxy Note GTN7000 and flash it with franco kernel, then when I turned on my phone the bluetooth is not working and it constantly crashes and get stuck (The screen just go green and pink like an old TV with bad signal). So I panicked and unroot it immidiately. But that didnt seem to solve the problem.
So my question is, can I flash it with the original kernel. If so how? and where can I get it. can you teach me. (NOOB REQUEST )

Yep, there's a way to install roms without PC, using mobile Odin, but before that you should have your phone been rooted first.
Well i can upgrade with PC but im kinda afraid .. All i want is just updating to jelly bean official on my note , I searched for about 2 days and learned how its being done but while searching i came to posts showing people crying cause they got their phone bricked cause of kernel blah blah , i also saw at the end of the installation guides that it will get my phone in a boot loop or stuck at samsung logo and im not sure xD i just want to update and im taking it seriously cause i dont want to brick my phone .. If someone can walk me through step by step id be thankful , we can use skype or something xD

Wait a few minutes. Let me get on my PC and I'll give you step-by-step instructions.
Now, do this:
Since you're scared, we'll do this the safest way possible
1.)Download a stock GB rom from here.(You can always come back to this ROM if you run into any trouble).Flash it via PC Odin.
2.)Wipe data and cache from recovery (Press Vol Up+Power+Home when phone is off in order to boot to recovery)
3.)Download stock JB rom from here.Flash it via PC Odin.
OR
1.)Update using Kies.
You're done
Alright ill do this when i get home , hehe thanks man ill update this thread if i get into any trouble

If you wipe, you may brick.
Other than that you should be safe.

Im following this method right now , so i just download Gingerbread (550+mb i think?) and install via odin and then i have gingerbread? No additional steps ? No chance of loops/errors/bricks or anything or installing additional kernels like some people said cause that's whats confusing me ... i dont really want any custom kernal i want jelly bean stock ... if anybody could guide me through skype i'd be thankful
EDIT: Iv'e read this http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1633938 thread carefully and it says that if you wipe using Settings you will get eMMC bug , i was on 4.0.4 and wiped but it booted normally without any problems (No loops No Restarting on its own No lags) and it was smooth , even though that app from playstore says my chip is insane .. Somebody explain this :S ?

Yes, then you'll have gingerbread. Don't forget to wipe after installing gingerbread.
It may brick. Not definite that it will brick. Still, better safe than sorry. Never wipe on stock ICS kernel!

Well said mate. Was going to say exactly the same. People seem to rethink it's a manned help site.
We will help but help your self first. That's how you learn.

I actually read and made my research already , and also successfully upgraded to jelly bean and i must say , i made a big mistake >.< The performance is crap and the phone gets overheated in a few minutes on both note 1 and 2 ( Its on 4.1.1) Im not really into kernels or custom rom flashing cause i already had a bad experience when i emmc bricked my old s2 thats why i take my steps carefully with this note. Ill downgrade to 2.3.6 and ordered an original battery (Yeah im using fake one stupid i know) and see of that fixes it. Appreciate your help guys , thanks
