PSA - Faulty EMMC
Shout-out to Samsung about being proactive towards finding a fix!
Note: CM9 kernels are safe to flash.
Shout-out to Samsung about being proactive towards finding a fix!
Note: CM9 kernels are safe to flash.
ATTENTION:
We've contacted Samsung about the problem where performing a mmc erase could hardbrick your phone (i9100, i9100g, n7000, m250 - MAG4FA, VYL00M, and KYL00M with firmware revision 0x19 // T989 and I727 with fw rev 0x12) if it's having a faulty emmc chip.
They're working as hard as possible on a clean solution which will be ready soon.
Please be patient and try to not flash any leaked kernels or kernels based on sources where MMC_CAP_ERASE is present.
This app http://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=27014974&postcount=1 can be used to identify if your phone is affected or not.
CM9 kernels are safe to flash.
Please share!
Update 14:56 CEST:
Patches will be out in form of new official ROMs and also sourcecode releases after testing, which might take some time.

I've been doing tons of research, and it turns out every cwm touch recovery for the skyrocket I727 has been made with a Gingerbread kernel which means we're fine as long as we don't format the internal sd from the system menuJun 9, 2012
Yes I can verify that the touch recovery that I created for the skyrocket (CWM 5.5.0.4) was made with a gb kernel and is safe. I've done a lot of testing and have had no problems.Jun 9, 2012
