What have I done wrong? How can I fix this? Thanks. LOL wow I've bricked my phone. I used to think I was a smart guy. Searching XDA gives me this: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1334632&highlight=bricked So I'm out of luck. The phone is a day old, so Sprint may be able to help me. Otherwise I'm looking at a $50 repair from these people: http://mobiletechvideos.mybigcommerce.com/samsung-epic-4g-touch-jtag-brick-repair/ Man I'm stupid. | ||

It stills turns on right? Then you can probably save it. Unfortunately, i don't know how to unbrick a S2, but i'm sure it's possible! | ||

Unfortunately, i don't know how to unbrick a S2, but i'm sure it's possible! It turns on... and it doesn't. The phone itself is definitely salvageable, but you need to right tools and software to take the phone apart and reprogram the IC's directly (which is what that mobiletech website is offering). I took it to an official repair place, and they said because the phone is so new, they'll just replace it. I just have to wait for the store to get more stock in. A few days at most. Until then, I'll just eat this humble pie. | ||

Although that being said, a new release called Cognition 777 has been released. | ||

![[image loading]](http://i.imgur.com/FvOyf.jpg) I quite like the style of the icon pack as a whole, but the specific icons suited to the music/movie aren't that great. I think it also looks a bit empty. Anyone got any ideas? For ref/showing-off these as the default and leftmost screens: + Show Spoiler + ![[image loading]](http://i.imgur.com/dQE1A.jpg) ![[image loading]](http://i.imgur.com/TDtcL.jpg) It's a pity that amazing aix weather widget doesn't really fit into the style either. | ||

Is there any sound when you plug it in to your computer? edit: you should try these steps, worked for me when my computer don't recognise my phone. 1. Either install latest Kies OR just install compatible USB drivers 2. Before connecting the phone, open the keypad and dial *#7284# you will see a menu for UART and USB. 3. Under USB, select PDA. If PDA is already selected, select MODEM and then back to PDA 4. Don't worry about USB debugging or anything, just connect your phone to the PC Everything will work as it is intended to whether you use Kies, no Kies or just Mass storage | ||

Do I need to install a custom ROM to change the theme of the phone? Is it 1 "theme" per ROM? What is that windows phone 7 looking theme I saw earlier. What are the benefits of rooting the phone? Are there any better apps for music/video/camera in the market place? Or are the preinstalled ones the best? Thanks fellas. | ||
