Not hard at all. Just be sure to double check with what your doing when reading the guide. It's all pretty much straight forward. Good luck.

As with most things that have to do with modifying your device, yes; there is a chance you can brick it. Although, if you read everything thoroughly and follow instructions closely, you should be fine.

alright thanks hank hill lol your picture :good:
Also, as long as you use some common sense (like not pulling out the battery when the bootloader is flashing PD15IMG), you should be fine.

Do not say that. Someones gonna read that and do what you just said.

Also, even if you follow all the steps straightly, you have a chance (minimal) of getting your phone bricked.
Actually, you can have it bricked even if you do nothing (i mean just normal use without downgrading and rooting it). This is very rare but in two months with my my touch4g I did see it a couple times.

Can't he just ODIN back is it ****s up?
as long as it will get back into download mode it should be possible to Odin back. not sure what can break the ability to get into download mode.

Seriously, instead of all the asinine comments, why not just say it won't work, and that it may brick his phone permanently? It's comments and flaming like this that make it near impossible to find helpful info in these forums. So if ur comments are not meant to help then don't post them!

Yeah, unfortunately the only way to obtain root if you've updated is to downgrade - root - then flash an updated Rom with root permission. I'm sure they will eventually come up with a way to root it.

So no data at all? noobnl would be perfect for this. I'm guessing its ril related, or way over my head. But I will take a look at the ROM before I install the new simply ASOP.

Your phones gone man. When your chip gives away your phone is dead. I think someone posted a link to a emmc repair service. I don't know what thread that was I though.
