Hard Brick after trying to flash post OTA ICS Update

My path to hard bricking DO NOT FOLLOW THESE STEPS
Step 1 : updated to ICS(4.0.3 LP8) OTA
Step 2 : Rooted with the help of Dr_Ketans guide (worked perfectly fine - no issues so far)
Step 3 : even after rooting, while entering recovery i used to get, what I feel, was the stock recovery and not CWM (as in drketans guide), so I flashed CWM.zip from stock recovery and from CWM recovery I performed a nandroid backup - till now all izz well.
Step 4 : (It gets bad here)
Now from the CWM recovery i flash asylum rom - and its over. Hard bricked.
Not able to go to recovery
Not able to switch it on normally (duh...)
Not able to enter download mode, not even the blind download mode where nothing is visible on the screen but ODIN detects it....
this is not a complain thread, just wanted to share this so that others do not commit the same mistake
If mods feel this is unnecessary please remove it and add this info to pre-existing threads.
P.S :
Note ICS OTA Update from India

So you actually didn't read this part from the asylum thread about installation:
-be on a proper working recovery, (DAFUQ, CM9 or a GB recovery ONLY)
-DO NOT FLASH FROM I9220 LEAK REPACK ROMS
-DO NOT FLASH FROM LPY BASED ICS ROMS,
-IF YOU ARE UNSURE PLEASE POST A SCREENSHOT AND ASK.
Too bad that you bricked your note though.

If im not mistaken, Asylum is a CM9 based rom and it should not be flashed on a Samsung Based ICS. This would eventually result to Brick. Any CM9 based rom should only be flashed on a GB based rom or another CM9 based. Just my 2 cents on this issue.

jeez thats right he flashed it on an ics based rom.
tol xelir, what rom are you using now.

as Entropy said, CWM operations on LPY/LPF aren't safe

Even the new Poland/Turkey LPF ?
So which one is safe for now, is it LP9 ?

No stock samsung kernel is safe to wipe in. Latest Cf-kernel, franco and speedmod might be safe. But its not yet 100% guaranteed.
Other than that its just the cm9 kernels that are completely safe.

The issue is w/ the kernel of the stock ICS and has nothing to do w/ CM9 being flashed over the stock ICS. In fact, installation instructions for the rest of the ICS based custom ROMs are now similar to CM9. As mentioned by the devs, it's not safe to wipe or flash another ROM when on an ICS stock kernel.

Gotta love it that people dont read the first post or even a thread
You should be warning people to read to not make same mistake

Its not safe to flash any CM9 based roms on samsung based ICS. If you are willing to read more its indicated in most of the CM9 based roms threads even the CM9 nightlies thread it indicates that its not safe flashing on any samsung ics roms. Its only safe to flash a cm9 based rom on a gb rom or a cm9 rom.
But if your convinced on what you just have said then try flash any cm9 based rom on a samsung based ICS.

Bricked mine nearly the same way yesterday. no recovery, no download mode. phone goes to samsung for warranty. After the eMMC file structure is corrupt, is there any possibilities for samsung to see what rom caused the brick?!

I know that but it's not just CM9. It's also not safe to flash other custom roms on top of a samsung based ICS. Regardless on what you flash (CM9 or other ROM) you could brick your device. And why would i flash cm9 on a samsung based rom when i just said in my previous post that "As mentioned by the devs, it's not safe to wipe or flash another ROM when on an ICS stock kernel."

From memory the CWM is not permanent and goes after a reboot, it is purely used to install busybox and su.

Simple, Downgrade to a older GB using PC odinthe rom must be one of the 'root able' roms found here http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1424997
Then once you have downgraded use this method to gain root and cwm http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1329360 (scroll to the bottom of the op)

Thanks man, But on another thread (CleaNote ROM) it says this:
Flash STOCK ICS with PC odin
boot the rom
reboot to dowload mode
flash CF kernel
reboot rom
copy CleaNote ROM zip to phone
reboot to CWM
install zip

Do i have to do that ^^ Or can i just root my current stock GB ROM + Add CWM, Then flash Abyss Kernel, Then flash the ROM of my choice ?

If you are looking to flash a rom that has step by step instructions on how to install it then follow those, as some roms require different instructions.
But if you want to gain root and CWM and are not sure on what rom you want first what I have said is the easiest way to go

Well that was just what i read on one of the posts, In the OP it just says flash from CWM, Providing you have a safe kernel and root.
My current ROM is LC1 which is one of the unrootable ROMs, and my DLoad for ICS is almost complete !
I think i will just flash ICS then a safe kernel, Then the CleaNote ROM. Im just so scared about the brickbug lol. I will wipe before i update, As GB is safe right ?

ICS flashed fine
Got root and CWM, Just installed Abyss kernel. Now doing a nandroid, Then Im gonna flash CleaNote,
Will avoid the wipe option even tho it says its safe in this kernel, Just not ready to take the risk yet.
Thanks for the advice, Been debating whether to take the plunge all day.
EDIT: spoke to soon, Now Im stuck on Splash screen, Dunno why, The nandroid was successful, But i cannot boot back into recovery now.
Looks like I'll have to flash the ICS again.

Abyss kernel is for gb not for ics. When cleanote said a safe kernel it is speedmod k3-3 or franco r3,r4,r5& r6. They use abyss kernel in wiping data in ics recovery just to be safe and the right step are 1. Flash the abyss kernel 4.2( after that do not wipe or flash your custom rom yet, very important to remember it will superbreak your phone), 2. Go to advanced and find reboot to recovery and click it and do the wiping their, its safe 3. and then you can flash the custom rom. In the case of cleanote theirs no need use abyss if you already flash speedmod or franco kernel in your ics before flashing the cleanote rom because cleanote 1.02 will automatically wipe your data.

Thanks man !! I'll get the hang of this one day
Im on rooted stock ICS now, With CF Kernel, So I just need to flash speedmod kernel( I loved their kernels & ROMs on the SGS1) reboot recovery, Then install CleaNote ?
I almost got it right lol

After flashing speedmod k3-3 click REBOOT SYSTEM NOW(get out of the recovery first) then check in the setting if you really have the speedmod kernel in your system running to be sure and enter recovery again and flash the cleanote rom, thats it.

[UPdated]4.04 LPM danger -> move to LQ5 Kernel [info]& How to screen capture in 4.04

[UPdated]4.04 LPM danger -> move to LQ5 Kernel [info]& How to screen capture in 4.04
Update: Please install a custom recovery if you are running any of the 4.04 kernels. LPM KERNELS ARE MORE AT RISK!!!
I reverted back to LQ5 yesterday because of the issue with Youtube HD not functioning unless I roll back the Youtube version or swap kernels. Aside from that Chainfire has warned me that he will not be releasing and CF-root for LPM because it has an underlying Kernel *possible* brick problem that cannot be alleviated with just updating to custom recovery via CF-Root.
Custom recovery DOES implement a different means of running the wipe factory data reset that *shouldn't* cause a brick. But as per Chainfire's PM we may still be at risk?
http://download.chainfire.eu/202/CF-Root/SGS2/CF-Root-SGS2_XX_OXA_LQ5-v5.6-CWM5.zip
To check if you are one of these people that may have the eMMC corruption and possible bricking of your S2....check for Chainfires app called Gotbrickbug. Also by chainfire.
Gotbrickbug thread
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1693704
Check to see if you are at risk BEFORE flashing anything.
1day 9hours and 11% discharging. 48% is screen so usage is about right seeming we sleep half the time LOL Me a bit more so than most others haha. Damn Narcolepsy

Screen capture method for 4.04 ICS Samsung is now long press button then long press home button; and in that order too. Not power and volume down like on 4.03.
Either use these and or wait for my ROM to be released via Darky if you are not confident.
Please give all credits to Chainfire for this, without him XDA would not have Root, so be thankful this guy continues to support us all.

You're on LQ5, you may want to ditch the kernel and run with LPM man. Its the wipe script that is in the recovery that will corrupt your eMMC. Not just the stupid .PIT file that it came with + stupid people trying to restore from a custom kernel after the repartition. Both are issues with LQ5.
Attached is the LPM ZImage + CWM apk. Use CWM apk by chainfire to flash the zImage. Then flash this
http://download.chainfire.eu/202/CF-Root/SGS2/CF-Root-SGS2_XX_OXA_LQ5-v5.6-CWM5.zip
That will give you root and recovery too DO NOT WIPE ON THE CURRENT LQ5 KERNEL!!
Attachments now removed as per Chainfires instructions. For future reference please don't redistribute his CWM app, it gets installed with the CF-root flash anyway.

You seem to be saying that LPM has a safe kernel, while in fact it hasn't. There are even reports of people bricking their s2 by using the official recovery (not cwm) under stock lpm kernel.

Any of the newer firmwares than LQ5 seems to be very dangerous! Russian forums reported many people to have hard bricked their devices also whilst wiping data partition on lwm kernel...
So be aware of any leaked firmwares and only use official ones or those confirmed by chain fire for be working...

Hmmm I may have to look into branching siyah sooner than i expected. He has a lot on his plate atm, so will look into this. I have never built a kernel but afaik its relatively simple. Its the extra features that people want that is the time consumer. Well I would recommend that users flash the recovery that I have given the link to and utilise that.
If that is the case they should be able to run the LQ5 kernel and flash that recovery? I have just contacted chainfire first to give cred which I think a lot of us forget that he is a dev and we all use his work on this forum. Just because its mainstream doesn;t mean it should be forgotten about Anyway I have enquired about the recovery and wipe proceedure compared to the standard recovery wipe proceedure and I will report back here when/if I hear back.
Right now I am going to flash back to LQ5 and custom recovery

From my understanding its the wipe procedure. So if that is fine on CF-root because of the custom recovery then shouldn't we be encouraging more people to flash CF-root?

Well get off the stock recovery is what I am saying!!! Get off it now!! Your at risk right now. Just cause you flashed it and didn't get the brick doesn't mean you won't. It is when you do a factory data reset that you **could** get a corrupted eMMC. Doesn't mean you will...just means that at the moment you are at risk if you ever do a reset on your phone in recovery.
see the link in my second post to chainfires website. Download that LQ5 CF-root and flash that via Odin.
This adds a custom recovery 5.x to your phone and it should by pass the stock kernel 3e recovery when you boot into it via the CWManager app (this is in the attachment) I will put it in there sepperated now for users like your self that already have LQ5. If you want to boot into recovery you do so via this app only. It will take you to the clockwork recovery console not the standard 3e one that comes with the kernel and firmware.
I hope this all makes sense now?

Just checked now and my screen brightness was the default 70% as it was when I flashed. I haven't changed it because I am currently working on getting the Jkay Toggles and framework translated over to 4.04. I usually have it set to automatic.
Screen on time: 4hours 29m and 44s
It was more a note for those that are looking how the standard kernel runs. I know custom kernels run a heap better. I would be on siyah kernel if I could run it but I can't. If you compare kernels custom 4.03 to stock 4.04 you aint really comparing apples with apples are you? I hate apples now so I should change my lingo
But you get the jist.
How did I know this was going to turn into critics paradise as per usual? This forum is full of em. I hate CRITICS MORE THAN APPLE!

@ Jarmezrocks
Which modem are you using dear?
Is CWManager App really needed when cfroot 5.6 has already been flashed via odin?
Below is the procedure I think maybe correct:
I) Flash CF-Root LQ5 5.6 via odin in download mode.
II) Flash LPM Kernel via odin in download mode.
No wipe or factory reset shall be done anywhere.
Is it correct?

I have rooted the LQ5 with CF-Root LQ5 v5.6 via odin & flashed the attached LPM kernel through CWM Manager.It's working fine.
One thing is that when i opened cwm manager after reboot, it says this version should be used with cf-root 5.0. Some features will be disabled.
I don't think it is going to affect anything as it is about the software features.

you need to upgrade this to 2.3.6, either use Ezboot or a jvu+root from My Android Collections to get it done after you have done the full wipes , once you have 2.3.6 running, root it with the file downloaded together with JVU or a semaphore GB kernel
after that read this and you can use whatever ROM you have chosen to use

Can someone give me a video or another way?

You don't need root for update any fw to cm10, cm9 etc.
Just:

2. download and copy to phone sdcard .zip with preferred cyanogen;
3. install these .zip from CWM in Recovery menu.

You must first flash the cm11 kernel that contains CWM6 either through cwm5 (if you are on stock kernel and have stock recovery flash a temporary CWM zip) or use the odin version and flash via odin (put it in pda section) - links on rom thread
Once that has been done reboot to recovery and make sure you have cwm6
Then format system data and cache
Mount system data cache
Flash rom zip

If done wrong you can soft brick your phone but can be sorted with a simple flashing of stock rom via odin - link to my firmware thread is in my signature

I install CM11 over H9 directly by first flashing ClockworkMod v6.0.5.3 & then latest full OTA build for totoro (androidarmv6.org)
CM11 have its own kernel.

thank you very very much marcus smith... i installed it yesaterday,,, everything is fine. flashing went successful.

That kernel is an unofficial kernel not from the dev of cm11 for this phone so no support from
him can be given if you use that one but you can if you want
The official kernel with cmw6 is located here - the zip is for flashing via CWM and the tar is for odin - the choice is yours
