So, apparently, Krylon hard bricked his phone... So, no development from him until he gets another one... Sadness ensued...

That's what a hard brick means...for any phone.
To his credit, every clown on here with a bootloop screams brick.

Wow, our vibrant's are hard to brick. If he hard bricked it, he must have been doing some heavy modding.

Just in case anyone was wondering how the fasinate would fare......
Fascinate took it like a man.
ouch
-that is all
If the Fascinate really was flimsy and plasticy as a phone, I don't think it would have come out looking like that. Does it still turn on?

Maybe you can cash it in for a replacement with your warranty... i would toss it in the microwave for 6min or so (popcorn setting) before you take it back

I'm saving up for another Vibrant, I9000, or G2.

People brick phones then lie about it, costing Samsung money (even if they reject the phone with evidence of root they still have to pay their techs to check it out).
What cost more? Trying to stop rooting? like the sony gone bezerk with hacking ps3. Or dealing with phones as you said?

Yes yes they do and it cost them money....but if they stopped being ASSHATS and preventing us from having root none of this would happen. Dont lock down the devices period and make it easy to restore etc. They dont do it to our computers why our mini computers (phones)?

Short story, they still need a custom pit for mapping. And its would still be a serious challenge for the epic atm.

All source does is make it easier for the devs...they can do without source, but they'd have to write evrything from the ground up, which, funnily enough, should've been done by now if the cm devs didn't keep falling back on the sauceline.
But its completely understandable. Its like when I used to play pokemon yellow. I've gone through mt.moon numerous times without flash, but flash makes it A LOT A LOT A LOT easier,so I go and get it.

FYI we need a donor device to get UnBrickable Mod onto Epic.
I thought I found someone but haven't heard back from them in a while.
BTW, "donor device" means a device which will have it's CPU (destructively) removed to find the correct pins and do the mapping.
See here for more info.
Keep an ear out for any dead / bricked Epics that someone might want to donate to the cause.

Good news is, i got my computer back up and running and i just pre-ordered the GSIII... hopefully that means i'll be able to try and learn to develop for it and help out ERA again =].

It is starting to sound like most of the folks left on the OG Epic are pulling stumps and heading for the GS3. I was planning on keeping my Epic until.. well, Armageddon, basically. But I think once the GS3 is released, all the TW devs and themers are heading there and I'm not a fan of CM9/MIUI/AOKP based stuff, so I am saving my milk money and waiting for my upgrade in August...
We should have some kind of a ceremony when Random and Kenny get their GS3's to bid adieu to this fantastic device, that has given so much to so many for so long.
Looking forward to seeing you "Strut your Stuff" over on the GS3 forums, Kevin!
Sorry to hear about your Epic Kevin...moment of silence.......
Glad to hear you will be back with ERA since I got drafted....volunteered too. The first GS3 ERA ROM should be awesome!
