Accidently Deep Fried my Galaxy S at 454° for 4 min :(

So I went to look check my phone, and it slipped from my hand, tried grabbing it, Felt like slow-mo, and just missed it, and watched it fall into the deep fat fryer, So I then had to watch it cook for 4 mins at 240°C.
Obviously turn of the fryer, and tried to dig out with tongs.
The interesting thing is it still works! Tad greasy, absolutly EVERYTHING work, Apart from the speak, So its now useless as a phone :/
Is the speaker user replaceable?
Pictures of a surprisingly undamaged phone considering what it went through.

well, that's a pretty interesting story, man.
do you mean the speaker is broken or the microphone? you'll probably be able to get it repaired by samsung assuming you have a warranty on it.

With respect, would you really trust a phone, even repaired that you DEEP FRIED for 4 minutes? Be lucky you can get your data off it and buy a new phone!

Do you really think so They'll see you coming from miles away. You caused the damage yourself, it's not like it's a design fault.

i mean what were u thinkin man..........just cant beleive it u actually fried ur phone..............4 mins in fryer , u might as well eat it like a gingerbread dessert or something

Hmmm deep fried Gingerbread...lol
In all honesty, funkyblue is right. Get what data/contacts you can (if not backed up to google) and get yourself a new phone. If your headset port isn't caked up with grease then maybe you can use it as a glorified MP3/music player.
How on earth did the battery not die?

Forget the speaker, I think the main thing we are all curious about is...do you eat a deep fried SGS with ketchup, or malt vinegar?

Post the pics

BAHAHAHAHA (sorry!), this is the funniest title since someone deep froze their sgs (iirc).
But as to your question, I wouldn't be surprised if the speaker is replacable, iirc its a modular component!
EDIT: wait, was it 454 or 240 degrees? Big difference

or you can keep it and use phone with bluetooth headset???

Pictures have now been added, Sorry for the delay!
The speaker is now working albeit very quietly, There is this greasy ring inside the camera when taking a picture, Guessing oil is trapped in there.

Love the simcard

May I respectfully suggest that coating the phone in batter next time will offer a degree of protection, and add immeasurably to the taste and texture!

let's wait for icecream sandwhich, and then someone should try it again, and then let's check, which one tastes better...

Is Gingerbread still coming?

I kinda feel like AT&T, LG and Google have all but abandoned this device. It's an AMAZING piece of hardware, I sure hope they give it the attention it deserves!

You're correct, it did feel abandoned.
I'm scarcely back to wanting to trade mine again, so much as to get an HTC.
But still, I guess its cause there's no ROM's I'm interested in. This my first device.
I'm not getting the best treatment from this brick.

Thanks for that!

In addition, all we really need to find is a 920h baseband that has our bands in it to flash. I'm using a Brazilian p920h baseband with no issues. ICS is on the way in CM9, life is good for the O3D/Thrill crowd ATM. Oh, and hate to be the party pooper, but this should have been in Q&A.

I believe that you will still have to change basebands for whatever he produces so it still won't be any good for me.

we will have to change basebands yes if you want gb that is just one of the steps. until we get an official release thats the way it goes. you are able to flash gb and froyo basebands so if you dont like the gb baseband you can go back to froyo no problem. flashing the baseband isnt that difficult just extra steps in the process. also dont get discouraged stick it out with this phone, a bunch of people left because of no devs well, look at things now, we have seen 2-3 or more new roms in less than a week we have people working on kernels we have tekahuna improving his OC modules we have cm9 on the way. this phone has brand new top of the line tech in it so when we get all the kinks worked out you are going to want this phone.

yeh i agree to some degree. used to anyway. since this is the only phone with the tri-dual business i figured its just a sleeper waiting to wake up. my gf just got the galaxy s 2. i went there to play around with it and man it was dissapointing to b honest. it was THIN! i mean REAL thin. which is super nice. but not if its rly light. it felt like it was made in china out of rly thin plywood. now that aside, the speed. it was good....to b honest, it was just as good as our thrills. i couldnt tell the diff at all. only diff was that my thrill was able to load stuff waaaaaaaaay faster lol. it took her like a good 10 seconds+ to load up market or even search for smthn. (yeh i know thats cuz of the t-mobile connection, but still....prty big fail). and just in general phone looked like it had less to offer. i was rly worried about getting the thrill and not the galaxy s 2 but since i got to play with it, i can safely say, it is not as good. especially since my thrill is keeping up with it when its still a sleeper with old froyo. now the super amoled screen....lol i dont like it....no joke. when u look at it in the dark and the screen is black lets say...like ur gonna watch smthn on utube and the video is loading....the black screen looks like its been painted on top of an illuminating light and u can see all the streaks and its rly lame. besides that, i rly couldnt tell the diff. maybe it was slightly more crisp but thats all. u cant see sht in direct sunlight so who cares.
im sticking it out with the thrill for sure. even tho galaxy has way more dev, i got a feeling its not gonna b as good as the thrill. this phone has way less fame than it should have. but thats whats gonna make the handful of thrill owners awsome, when the phone finally wakes up after gb.

I have heard December 9th will be the date for the release. I cannot disclose where I got this info but hopefully it will be true.

Agreed... except the sgs2 is much faster and smoother with a dev rom.. I made a similiar rom for it and my phone flies at 1.4 oc stable... when gb att comes out I should be able to do same for thrill specially with bedwa making kernels... it isn't that far behind sg2 in performance.

I can see what you mean considering you are talking about the t-mobile version of the SGS2 which as far as I recall made the screen bigger and also switched out the CPU. Now if you are talking about the AT&T version it is a totally different game. The screen looks WAY better on the AT&T version because they didn't stretch the screen to 4.5" and the CPU/GPU until Quad-Core chips come out is at the moment second to none (Exynos as opposed to T-Mobile's Qualcomm® Snapdragon™ S3 Processor with 1.5 GHz dual-core CPUs). Also note that they changed the Processor on the New Skyrocket as well and also stretched the screen which makes it look like crap. Super Amoled + on Anything other than 4.3" and below Really badly needed to increase resolution.

[Q] insert brick type here...i need your help guys

Okay, obviously I was rooted. Everything was great. I went into CWM, when I was going to flash a simple script mod (which every phone can use) well I accidently clicked off into my SGII files (which of course was stupid of me) and it installed fluxii kernel for SGH-i777. (intern flashes a custom recovery for the xx tweaker that that particular kernel uses. Of course, I didn't even realize I had done it, just went to Reboot Now. Now, I've got no Download mode, no bootloader, no anything, just blackness, I feel as if there is a simple key process or way to somehow get it fixed so I can flash it back via ODIN, but with all the confusing button combo's and ideas I've found so far, and all the ' types of bricks ' I dont know the best route about doing this, whomever helps me get my phone unbricked/unsoftbricked/superbricked/cute bricked, which ever version (assuming its possible) I swear on my life I will mail them a 32GB HP touchpad.
(I have 3 and only need 2) so, I hope this in some way will get me an answer soon.
I cantbelieve I pulled a n00b. No more not moving data from SD cards for me ever again...
Thanks, and the sooner the better.
Mail me here, or gmail me ( [email protected]) or heck text me if you want (i have my SGII still) just message me priavtely for the number. Thanks you guys you're the best.

I would rccomend trying to use Odin to see if it recognizes your phone? You may have to get a USB jig to force it into download mode and you may be able to save it that way I'm pretty sure a jig would work

It might be worth a go man. I would reccomend having it plugged into a computer and keep trying to turn it on even if the screen doesn't turn on and see if Odin picks anything up. Its not going to hurt your device anymore :/ you could always go to a hardware store and buy a mini USB and a 300k resistor and trying to make a jig yourself if that unbrick doesn't work (which I don't think it will)

it involves a paperclip, and a hidden compartment behind somewhere where most would never dare stick anything, its rather a hidden reset button or something I wouldnt recommend it to anyone however...if someone finds themself in a bind id gladly help, but its that way or shipping it back if done wrong basically I just got lucky.

I might as well introduce myself and let the games begin.

I am no ordinary greenhorn, in fact, to be completely honest this is the first smart phone I have ever owned. Before this love affair began with my thrill 3D, I was partial to the cheap flip phones. So without further ado; I rooted her bricked her first by checkin out system tuner and seeing what would happen if I turned up a thing or two. When i woke in the morning jungle font stopped unexpectedly, so i pressed force close, it came back faster than i could pull my thumb away, after about a dozen or so times w/ the same result, I did what any sensible idiot comparable to uneducated stone would do and pulled the battery. She rebooted with no font. Factory reset, root again recover my beloved apps and data and then (again what any sensible idiot would and opened system tuner. in my defense, however i was only moving system files to sd not uninstalling them. 'ol thrill did not like that one bit and with a sudden burst of rage-full, maniacal, protest force closed files of all types, one super quickly right after another. it was a domino effect sort of thing. anyway, i tried the lg flash package steps several times to no avail, now it seems overwhelming. tomorrow i am dive right in to xda university deal i heard about, but in the mean time any help in getting my deeply missed thrill back on line would be appreciated so much more than most of you could imagine. i have a lot on plate and this couldn't have been a worse time for me kill my life line.

Actually my friend, I'm in my late thirties with two little boys. I'm a single dad, with zero presence from their biological co-founder. I'm a carpenter by trade, hence the cheap flip phones in the past. In addition to work and kids, I did start going to college full time (I'm in my second semester) for child psychology in order to better understand the difference between my youngest (4) who is developing typically and my oldest (7) who is autistic. In the middle of wrestling an already obese schedule, I am smack dab in the middle of fighting with the school district because they are (in my opinion based on my careful observation) stuck in the process of teaching autistic kids how to be more autistic rather than how to be "human" like most of the rest of us. To recover my boy from his public-school-bootloop seems to be as equally perplexing as my phone. A seventh grade education over twenty years ago only goes so far. So there it is, while I love to write, I am far from a frat boy, where they get laid in bed, I only lay in bed Embarrassing really, but my sacrifice is/will be the root of all of my boys smiles. I don't have the money nor the desire to buy a new phone. I love my thrill! It is imperative that I get it back online ASAP. Unfortunately often times a picture in crayon is what I need when it comes to some things. If you guys can't or won't help me get it going I figure it out, I always do. But no matter what, I will have my thrill. P.S. Mad props for all you guy that have put the effort into XDA University and the slang terms thread, I admire people who give up their time and energy just for the sake of sharing what they know, for us "noobs" that kind of generosity is the only way learn about such alien concepts and processes as these. Like I said "I'm no ordinary greenhorn" Thanks again in advance, time is ticking and I'm not using a pay phone and refuse to get a flipper! Gotta run, good day all!!!!!!

I followed the instructions from an optimums thread by dark lestat, i tried four times. but absolutely nothing happened. Norton was a problem, fixed that. then found out what a com port was, let me ask anyway, that refers to the USB port right, and not communication port like maybe through a my firewall? i haven't tried a different USB cable yet cause i just found out about it tonite while i was looking for some answers. do i do anything with the kidz file? i would rather have a different ROM, what is the recovery manager for? and one more clarification, how do I know that it is working at the last step when i put the bat back in and connect the USB to my lap top? will it vibrate or screen flash or something. I am going to try again tomorrow. i learned a lot i didn't know today from xda u, so I don't feel so lost. I can build a house ,but droid recovery is a whole ball game! Thanks again Bigtech.

another Q
Does it matter which kdz file I choose, if so Which one should I use? I ended up with the official gingerbread cause it was the only link that worked.

use either v30b kdz of v28b kdz. they're both ics, which is, i believe much better than gingerbread

Any word if they got rid of the ghost call problem? And I am very surprised that ATT still cares about this phone considering they discontinued it like 5 months after they started to sell it

Stop FRATing and people will help more. Post precisely and specifically what your problem is. No one wants to read your wall of text.

question
why b2cappsetup pop up tellin me to connect with the internet when i already am? tryin to flash v30b recovering from a bootloop. thanks!

sorry bro
Hate the game Dog, not the playa:laugh: the xda new-membe- intro video made me do it! It said that you old pros are "lawn geezers" and we are the kids runnin across your front yard. I was simply getting into charector:} nah just kiddin, i did over do it a bit though huh won't happen again either cause you all are much more helpful when your not pissed.

OK I have not read your other posts. Install Smartflash instead and install the 2 drivers. Then flash XBSA's pretty rooted ROM with Smartflash.
Download XBSA's V7.2 ROM and flash it from recovery.

PSA: Galaxy SII now $199 on HSN

OK I have a birthday tomorrow and as a present I am moving on to the Galaxy SII (yes, it's FINALLY my turn to say that!). $199 was too good to refuse, especially with 4 flexpays of $50. Two years of battling the Exhibit are enough, wouldn't you say? Anyway I will miss the forum around here a bit, even though we've had a number of departures over the past year. If it wasn't for the good folks in this community the Exhibit would have been retired LONG ago for me. Frankly without a custom ROM/kernel it is a POS device. No other way to put it! At least we have one or two new guys on the block to carry on for those who still have this phone or just got it. I wish them luck. As for myself I can't wait to try all the things that are available on XDA for this device. Hope I don't flash more ROMs than I did for the Exhibit or I will have no life left, LOL.
Anyway for those who are interested, go here for the deal: http://www.hsn.com/products/samsung-galaxy-sii-no-contract-smartphone-t-mobile/7334966
A couple months they ran out and just now got these phones back in stock. At that price I bet they don't have them for long.

Good deal. Glad you are getting something you want, it'll be sad to see you go. You've always been helpful, and generously shared your experience with testing and results. So for that thank you.

Thanks man. Unfortunately HSN just raised the price back up to $249, same as they have it on Amazon. Man glad I didn't procrastinate anymore like I always do. Funny thing is I watched the video presentation they did on TV and I'm thinking how many more they could sell if they promoted the fact you can root & get the latest ROMs out there. Of course if they did that people would know they can get rid of that bloatware! Just think of the poor sheep who will just keep stock ICS on it.

I think that rooting is beyond the scope of most people's interest. As it also voids any warranty, the manufacturer would be slightly against HSN promoting the practice, is my guess.

Oh yeah, sure that's part of it too. Sadly you're right, most people probably wouldn't want to make effort to make their phone better than it is. Too much thinking involved!

Which is good for me, as it means phones which have already been rooted sell for less on eBay. Saving me money and hassle.

It probably comes with stock 4.1.2.
I don't think you are going to be disappointed. It is an awesome phone still.

If I had one I'd root it and get CyanogenMod

They said 4.0 on the commercial and on the website. A friend of mine has one and it has ICS on it. No matter because it will be rooted and updated when I get it. Question will be whether or not to go with a 4.2.2 rom or KitKat. So many apps need to catch up to ART and the whole 4.4 OS system.
Sent from my Samsung Galaxy Exhibit running AOIP.

Yes. There still needs to be some development before I move to 4.0. I'm very interested, once the system had been around a bit. I don't usually get the x.0 version of any software. To many issues.

S2 has arrived
Well the phone is finally here so it's goodbye to the Exhibit! Thanks to so many who made the Exhibit a tolerable phone and were a pleasure to have banter/discussions with here in the Exhibit forum. Shout outs and thank you's to @camcory, @jocala, @Tim1928, @smartguy044, @bpear96, @detett, @tazmaniondvl, @meekwrb, @Dvarl, @CoolLoL1999, @[email protected], @jrleathers, @Bloodflame (aka "Flames of Blood"), @afwolfpacked (aka "Airwolf"), @cars1189, and @Jaws4God. @jfbs good luck to you, you will be the last salvation for this phone. @Proud2banoob good luck in learning the ropes!
BTW if I forgot somebody it wasn't on purpose. Now on to the hard work of rooting and finding a ROM for the new phone. Hopefully I will settle on one or two but if my experience with the Exhibit showed anything it was a penchant for being a fairweather ROM user!:laugh: I may stop by here every now and then too, afterall I haven't given the Exhibit away to anybody yet.
Lastly if it was one thing I got out of using this phone, it was to appreciate a really good phone once I got it.

hah hah! Congrats sir on the new phone.
I went ahead and plunked some coin for a Nexus 5. It has some sound bugs (some sound is fine with some apps and not others) and the vibration isn't as strong on key presses (but in other areas is fine and a tester app I found shows the vibration motor is fine). Meh, the speed just kicks butt! Also, having 2G of RAM is ..... awesome. The quad core ... anyway .. you get the idea.
I am still thinking of which ROM to put on ... I had cyanogenmod on my other phone and I loved it ... but they're not quite ready.
Take care and thanks for writing man!

Augh! RebelROM!!! I'm having a PTSD flashback! AD, it was good to work with you. You taught me a lot. Good luck. I will try to nab one of those Galaxy Lights to use as a DD, so i can keep playing with the Exhibit. It's a solid little phone and good learning tool. I wish you all the best and don't forget us!

I know I haven't been active in the exhibit community . But I'm glad you guys enjoyed RebelRom so much . Enjoy your nexus 5!

It's really good to hear from you man, and yes RebelROM was hands down the best GB ROM this phone ever had. People here can testify how many times I went back to it every time I got frustrated with one of the ICS ROMs back in the day.

Lol I just came back from rebel Lol, ran great but I sure did miss all the features of newer ROMs. But I like that galaxy light as well quad core with 1gb ram sounds a ton better then this lol

Man, I'm gonna miss seeing you around here because I don't say much and when things got a little quiet , you were still there, keeping the ball rolling. Everything ends at some point and I'm just waiting for the day this place turns into a ghost town. At least some awesome devs left us in a pretty.good spot. Also, thanks for all your help as you were part of making this phone great as well.
Good luck fellow Kentuckian!
