Why flashing is so risky ?

Hello
I'm new android and samsung user for about a year now ! I'm just wondering why this flash procedure contains risk while it should not !
I've bought my phone with 400€ and i'm scared like **** to brick it, a normal thing isnt ?
Well what i want to say is, arnt these companies able to create an unbrickable phone in which i can install any android version like in my pc without risking the brick since i'm not touching the hardware part ?
Why these powerfull little things in specs are weak concerning the updating part ?
For me, its illogic to get a 400€ useless phone just after touching to its software part !!!!!
Do you think that its right ?

I believe phones like the SGS are really sturdy/robust and cannot be easily bricked.However if the situation is like a person taking the wheels of an automobile for the first time without any preparation or guidance and driving through a crowded street and thereby generating a huge risk,that is another matter then!
Invest some time reading through the various initiation guides in these forums some of which 'spoonfeed',and you are good to flash as often as you wish without the risk of causing any hopeless bricks etc.
Happy flashing ahead,but after understanding what it takes!

Flashing is risky only if you flash bootloaders. Otherwise it's safe (well it's good to keep USB jig near just in case) as you can always just reflash if something goes wrong. But I think you'll find more info from flashing tutorials.

It's hard to brick the SGS. You just hear more about bricks, because no one goes around posting "OMG GUYS SUCCESSFULLY FLASHED!!"
The only real risk is if you flash over the bootloaders. The bootloaders are the software that control how the phone gets flashed, so if these are corrupted obviously you can't really flash it anymore. Problems arise if a) you flash incompatible bootloaders (like from another model), b) the flashing procedure screws up (your computer crashes in the middle of flashing).
It's actually pretty unlikely.

Flashing is not so risky process if you know exactly what you do!
Very often the device behind the keyboard screws up the phone.
People need to read and also getting some basic knowledge how the flashing process works would not hurt them at all. That's the key to a successful flashing

Well thanks guys for the answers ! It was recomforting ;-)
But again for me, even the bootloader shouldnt fear the damage !! Well its a point of view no matter whats the thing between the keyboard does
At least Apple knows how to push their customer to update their iPhones ! I had one and i never feared the updating procedures !
Well concerning the odin software does it write somewhere that the bootloader flashing went perfectly ??
Thanks guys ! And is there any super android phone to buy and which its updating still not risky ?

flashing aint risky, only moment that it could fail is the part when its flashing bootloader and that takes like second of the whole flashing process (or if youve putted absolutley wrong model firmware to flash)
from anything else you should just simply take out battery, put it back on and 3 button to download mode =)
and now with unbrickable mod its even more safe =)

Well... this thing with ODIN is not an official way to update firmware. It is a way to flash ROMs other than what your phone was supposed to receive. The official way is using Samsung KIES and only Samsung KIES. That is fault-free. If anything wrong happens you have emergency firmware update or smth. Don't compare official update with ODIN.

Actually I see more problems caused by Kies in these forums then I do Odin/Heimdall errors. Beyond that, because Kies is kept closed and limited by Samsung often times the user will have no idea why the Kies update failed, or how to resolve the problem. 99 percent of all Odin/Heimdall problems are due to user error or intensely bad luck while the bootloaders are being flashed and there is always plenty of support online for any error. I take Odin over Kies any day.
As for saying that the bootloader should be unbrickable, I know some people have recently been posting hardware mods that create unbrickable Galaxy devices. However, for most of us who are not adept with soldering irons and transistors, the bootloader is no different then the Bios on a PC. If something corrupts the Bios, all you can do is send it to the shop or replace the Bios chip yourself...just as all you can do with a corrupt Bootloader is use a Jig or sent it in for service.

Really??? So, please take your "unbrickable" PC, and unplug it in the middle of BIOS update (in case of laptop:unplug AND remove battery), and you'll see the results.

basicly you can not compare those two situations
Sent from my GT-I9000

Well, i'm talking guys based on information i learned from the unbrickable mod, these guys have created an unbrickable SGS, do you think Samsung or other companies aren't able to do that officially ? Yes sure they can, but they don't want to, aand i don't know why !!
And for the BIOS thing, i'm partially agree that it's also a dangerous procedure, BUT the difference is that no matter what OS you want to install, you aren't obliged to update the BIOS first, and again, for my 2 Years laptop, i remember well that i've installed Vista and 7 quitly without touching the BIOS
Well, this post wasn't a question at first but kind of "debate" bcause i wanted just to know how people are reacting in front of that situation !
Thank you all

So, who forces you to touch the SGS bootloader?
Same time, Win Vista and Seven are OFFICIALLY released systems.
To compare the situation fully, you should assume that:
- you have PC bought directly from Microsoft, branded by them;
- you want to install "homemade" Win 7 and 3/4;
- you are claiming that you are in problems.
By the way: BIOS and Win Vista or 7 are old systems already. Try to read what is planned and developed now with Win 8 and UEFI: Windows 8 Branded PCs Could Prevent Other Operating Systems From Being Installed, and then compare it with SGS.
Simply, Samsung develops the device with THEIR OS on board, and is not obliged in any way to support homebrew systems, possibly because of likely claims of home grown hackers, who would brick their stuff and then claim it as warranty issue. Flashing different OS'es is possible thanks to effort of the people who are not related with Samsung at all. To use an example going further, look here on the HTC HD2 thread. Device was originally supplied with Win Mobile 6.5, but Dev's managed to port Win Phone 7, Android, Ubuntu and MeeGo to this phone.
Do you think that this is supported by HTC, or the persons who flashed Android and bricked phone would claim that this is HTC's fault? Same is with the SGS: flash not even the stock, but official releases via KIES only, and if something will went wrong, then blame Samsung.
So, there is no situation. Just group of people, who have or not the knowledge what they are doing, while flashing.

dude.. its not about samsung and android problems.. when you're trying to update your phone OS, its risky on every phone. unless you know how to do it right. I just read that if your phone brick, you can bring it to life using USB Jig. I never try it tough, cause my phone is never brick.

OH crap ..super brick?

ok 1st of all sorry for making so many threads ...but my phone got bricked when i tried to bootload ..the part when i have to press any key to continue .. i did just that and my phone just shut down..then it never reboots ...nothing happens .. so i tried to open from the on button ..but nothing happens ..now my phone is not responding no screen , no light when charge ..which brick m i in? i tried PCC method but PCC cant detect my phone help pls

use flash tool

flash tool cant detect my phone ..my phone is all empty and i cnat switch it on

when you use flash tool phon need to be off and you pres and hold back buton

god...still no use...

nothing is working ...even the on button , cant connect to pc ...am i in a dead brick? must i go service it?

If Windows / Flashtool does NOT recognize the phone in Flash Mode anymore (Turned off, back button pressed while connecting to the computer's USB) it's a hard brick and it would make yours the third one around here being hard bricked.
This means you're actually out of "do it yourself at home" options to resurrect the device.
While there are two other phones with the exact same problem we have no intel about how a authorized Sony Ericsson Repair Center is going to tackle the repair or how much they are going to charge for the repair (as I'm pretty sure they will void the warranty after diagnosing the brick).
IF you're going to bring, or send, the phone to a SE service center you better ask them for a quote on the repair to avoid a bad awakening at the repair costs (i.e. new phone would be cheaper than a repair - we don't know if they would simply resurrect the device through the means of JTAG'ing or if the would replace the motherboard or whole phone).
Another option would be to find a phone repair shop around your area possessing a JTAG RIFFbox and required skills to JTAG your phone. That could be the cheaper option.
If you somehow get the phone repaired my recommendation would be to stay away from boot-loader unlocking. If you look around the problems you may face ("does not charge anymore" / "hard bricked") is not worth the little 'being able to flash a custom kernel' advantage you gain. GingerDX and a few other ROMs run perfectly fine on the stock kernel - and I'm sure nikolaa and Doixanh will find a way to make ICS (if it can be done) run on stock as well.
Anyhow, my sympathies for your brick - I hope you can get it sorted out one way or another.

do you have a 2011 w8? I remember that there was someone who posted earlier with a hardbricked w8
Maybe those w8 owners should stay away from unlocking their bootloader

yea..mine is a 2011 w8 , i think w8 should not be bootloaded ..it has some problems ~ i did everything correctly but after my phone rebooted it went dead

I think you should get it jtag'ed (sorry if its spelt wrong, the x8 has a small keyboard)
sent from my x8 running gingerdx

this is why i'm afraid to unlock my bootloader, i've tried twice but no luck at all.
so i decided to stick on stock kernel..

Hmm...would you mind opening the back cover of the phone and looking for text on the stickers that says xxWxx? Where x are numbers. This might prevent other users from bricking their devices.

haha i sent mine to repair already ...still on warranty ..lucky the retailer didn't know my phone is rooted..still what is so good about unlockinng bootloader?

If you have realy W8 not X8 then your phone is death!Read carefuly before you do something,please!My sorrys!!

unlocking bootloader gives you wings!Like red bull....ha-ha-ha!Realy,you can then install custom kernels and newest custom MiniCM 7 rom with dual touch!Its fun!!!

man..i wan dual touch..i think imma try again once my phone is repaired..

just as aloy has indicated, next time before you do anything with your phone check the back for the code. Because every case that fails it sets a warning to all who want to apply unlock to their cells, and most important of all, alerts the original author that there might be something to improve on recent models.
Last but not least, read CAREFULLY the instructions first before your third attempt. Make a log of what you have done so in case something happen again post it in detail here so others could point out what potential problems may have been.
I wish you best luck on your next attempt.

huh? how do you see the back for information? xxwxx? what does it mean?

imagine you need to change your battery or SIM card you need to open up the back right? Look at the backside of your cover after you yank it open. There you have it.

What's your qualification?
You're a hardware engineer / hardware (repair) technician / hardware hacker?
No?
Stop dreaming about home brew repairs (as there is NO option left unless you fulfill the requirement from above, in which case you wouldn't post here) and either send it off to SE or throw it into the trash.

Firstly, you obviously didn't find this thread which would've spared you the trouble.
Secondly, it is a kind-of hardware problem now that you "killed" the phone with a failed boot loader unlock due to the date code being past 11W29
Thirdly, I have no idea what a "experts repair" (to use your words) will cost. So far no one obviously found a phone repair shop where the technicians had the required brains and tools to unbrick the phone - everyone who hard bricked the phone sent it off to SE.

Whoa?! 11W20 hard bricked?
Anyway, since something seems to have went wrong your only option is to send the phone off to SE for repair.
There is, as I already said, NO way for any home-brew repair left - unless you would already own the required hardware to JTAG the phone (RIFF box + X8 JTAG header or Medusa Box + X8 JTAG header).
Get in touch with your local SE service center and ask them how sending the phone in works (and refrain from telling them about what you did - just tell them "I tried to turn it on in the morning and it won't turn on - dunno what's wrong" *1000W angel halo*)

My friend faces same problem with his phone. He hard bricked it. The phone was other one but the logic is the same.
If you phone is still in warranty. Then they wont charge you. As they cannot know whats inside the phone. Is it rooted, unlocked, custom ROM or anything.
Just go to the shop, with this dead phone, tell them you saw this in the morning and something must have happened during the night (like make something up. Ofcourse a good reason) and before you know they will be agreeing to repair your phone with NO COST!

sigh..
guess its a trip to service center..

DEAD or DEATH BOOT/battery totally drained

So my phone's not yet fixed since the 25th of December due to sudden death - http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2585068
We had it checked again last Thursday, January 3rd. The technician said that the replacement of motherboard is not yet clear to be the best solution as the technicians from the Sony Service Center hadn't opened the phone yet. He said that it might have been a cause of a dead or death boot. Has anyone heard of it? He says not only Sony phones are experiencing this dead or death booth, even other brands. Kind of random.He said that the phone somewhat hangs, the screen isn't on but the system is still running which causes the phone to become warm or hot. And he also said that this lead to the battery getting totally drained. As per him, once the battery is totally drained it won't get charged even if I try to charge the phone for a number of hours. So what he will do when I get back to him on Monday is he will first try to shock the battery to see if it will be revived (which I hope this is just the case) and then dload some firmwares or softwares to fix the unit.
I hope this ordeal will be solved this following week as it's been so inconvenient on my part and I terribly miss my phone.

One of possibility is that they will open the back cover, pull out the battery and charge it to full, then they put it back and flash the stock firmware. With battery charged they have enough time for flashing and the phone should turn on. If it's Sony Center to do that they will also seal the phone as original to get fully working waterproof.

Hey guys, do the devs a favour: NOT EVERY SIMPLE BOOTLOOP IS A BRICKED DEVICE!!!
Just go to recovery and wipe everything, it then should boot without problems.
if it doesn't, first check yourself (e.g. did you flash a 4.4 kitkat without flashing a new kernel for it?)
the answers for nearly all problems are here on xda-developers ... just read, read and read and understand ... if you don't know, what you do with flashing your device, what the partitions data / cache / system are for, what a kernel is or what the differences between stock roms, custom rom releases and nightly builds is, you simply SHOULD NOT flash your device.
If you understand what you are doing and if THAT ALL doesn't help you and you think you have a problem noone else have (i allready had such a thing with my defy+, it got bootloop and it was a dead memory chip) THEN (and just then) post your problem here. The devs simply don't have the time to help everyone who simply can't read the existing threads.

[Q] Wrong TA Partition Restore

i've restored TA Partition my Sony Z Ultra on my Sony Z1 by wrong
and z1 now is dead .. just red led when i connect it to pc
i tried to flash it via SETOOLS box and it gives me
error while uploading hdr
any solution please ?? :crying:

Nope, it's properly bricked

Sony will know this since minute one
I sometimes imagine their staff at how they read this forum and laugh their asses off...
Even if they replace the phone it is simpler for them to replace the phone than to investigate the issue )
Do someone on this forum even thinks that if sony whant's to find out the cause of a phone's brick they cannot ? They are finding the exact cause of microchip failing and the causes and they are not finding the cause for a simple partition with wrong data that should never fail on a memory that it is OK?
Plus they have signs, on a hard brick i understand that it will double flash the red led ) (did someone thought that they MADE the red flash for this simple reason? to know when the phone has been tampered with?)

@Killer2k8 even if Sony do so, You made a mistake with your phone and there is no way to resurrect it, or it was a gift from somebody from your family or you spend half of your salary, and you bricked the phone just to get root, the last chance is to play Stupid. (and I don't advice nobody to break the law)

Ask help on the guys from SETools. Ask them to help you locate the testpoint of your device(you need to open the back portion of your device for this though). Once you find it you're lucky then... Get a linux OS on your PC, mount your phone's partition and flash back the correct TA partition. Although yea the level of difficulty on this process is "Expert level" so good luck.
My explanation is just simple but I tell you it's alot harder when you do it.

@the_laser sorry .. now i sent it

With the original TA backup and setools and jtag its possible....
