Im just wondering if it possible to fry/brick your phone if you flash your rom and kernel to many times, and if so how many times is to many??
And this has been taken up fpr question before, please redirect me to the right thread since i didnt find anything

Not really, that is unless you consider the fact there's always a certain (incredibly small) risk of bricking when flashing in general.
If you want to minimize the risk, follow guidelines; make sure cables are intact, and use Linux+Heimdall, that's my advice...

can you fry your phone?
well i wouldnt want to but you can dip it in batter and fry it in oil. season with salt/pepper. battery melts like cheese.
Deep fried silicone tastes fantastic.

I fried mine by giving internal voltage - 1500mv.

Like burakgon said you can fry it only when you overvolt too much. It's better to stay under 1250mV for int and under 1500mV arm. Flashing has nothing to do with frying device, cause every phone can have about 50k-100k flashes before memory breakes.
then i'll go on as usual and flash awaaaaaaay =)
thanks for all the inputs and thoughts and such

Hey guys
I have a mate whose SGS i9000T will no longer turn on, it is about 5 months old, battery is fine and just died while the screen was off, was not even being used. The last app used was browser. Can't get into Recovery or download modes and the backlight doesn't even register while the AC is plugged in.
Any suggestions would be great or is this a hardware fault? which too me it sounds like
Theirs two possible reasons for this bud....1, custom firmware incorrectly flashed. 2, hardware. I had the same problem and I had to send mine off to Samsung, if you blame the damage on Kies, say after the update it wouldn't turn on they will fix it for free.

Cheers for the reply,
The only things applied were a lag fix that was weeks ago though so i doubt that is the problem, sounds like hardware problem then

No custom kernel or anything? And it just died? Does he tend to drop his phone a lot?

In that case I'd put it down to hardware bud! Are you in the UK? as we have dozens of Samsung service centres, just blame it on Kies if I were you, say after the update it wouldn't turn back on, and they'll fix it for nothing bud

Hi, my milestone has been randomly rebooting since well the 2.2 ota update, I thought putting a custom rom (HoNO and the current one FroyoMod)would fix it but nope, though it appeared to be less frequent though lately (again anecdotally) it seems to happening more. I'm using a "new" sim card (from my hero, which never rebooted) but still same issue. It doesn't take too long and I rather avoid doing anything too complex but its annoying so if anyone has a possible solution it'd be very welcomed.

It's possible that they are DSI reboots. Try applying the latest DSI-fix by Kabaldan.

I'm assuming you mean forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1210819 that? Installation looks a little above my head (though I could have easily misinterpreted it) so don't think I'd risk it but thank you very much for the suggestion.

How many time i can flash roms on Note before it Break ?
Any number of times. Provided you are on a safe kernel.
Sent from my GT-N7000 using xda premium
Do remember to allow your Note to settle for a while (at least half an hour) before u flash to another rom again. As long as you are on a safe kernel like Hydracore kernel, it should be fine.

Dont know if that is the correct number but yeah its true.You mmc can handle only a certain number of read/writes after which it starts to die out.But the numbers are usually large so that you would stop using the device(switching to other phone) within its lifetime.
Hello everyone... I have a really weird question: How can I kill my phone without the chance that the company finds out?
I'm stuck with a crappy contract and they won't let me finish it with my phone working... So... What should I do? The idea is that I kill the phone but that's impossible to discover that I did it...
Any ideas?

Brick it and claim that it was an update that failed?

Oh yeah, but bricking-it will not even cause the phone to be turned on? Or they still can know that I bricked it? And in what part of the update should I unplug it?
Put it in the microwave, that will kill it

If you brick your phone they will most likely know that you messed something up. So best is to do what others suggested, hair dry or microwave

Can't you just update it, and pull the plug part way through? Maybe pull the battery during an update? I don't know if the phone would be recoverable from that.

As long as the recovery image was there and bootloader able to boot and your phone can be recovered.

Any kind soul that would like to help me?

Errr... Can you give us more details? For example, what rom you was using, have you Overlocked your processor, because that may caused the hardware damage to motherboard etc.

I was using Stocklite v7.1 and the processor was overclocked to 844 mhz I think

That oc could have fried the processor, if it's so I think there's nothing to do.

Have you tried to run it in download mode?
Sent from my Nexus 7 using xda app-developers app
I'm from a different phone section, but I have some experiences regarding battery.
It can be your charging port. Have you tried external charger?
Those chargers that you charge battery without the phone. Those are more powerful.
Some battery tends to die out of the sudden, and those chargers have more powerful boost to revive your battery.
Try it out. If that's the problem, send your Ace to SSC if its under warranty, if it isn't send to a repair shop.
did you tried to replace the battery?!
Guys, any help?
