I Soft-Bricked my phone :(


OMG...! As in Oh My Goodness!

My mobile OS firmware is 4.1.2 Android Jell Bean but I really really wanted to upgrade it so..

Here's the story ;) Hahaha 



Trying to update my phone to its latest firmware Android Operating System 4.2.2 Jelly Bean, I soft bricked my phone. :(

It stared when I read some information from XDA forum and other Android community forum that the latest Operating System is already available.

I installed applications that will be needed in upgrading like Odin, TWRP, Titanium Back Up, Clock World Recovery and etc.. (Some are useful in flashing new Read Only Memory - ROMs)

After backing up my phone (I thought that I did back it all up!) hehe - I realized that I only created a back up for User applications (the least useless). 

This is sooooo soooo wrong. Super made a mistake.

I should have backed up all the System applications and User applications.

And then.. Tarannnn!!!

My mobile is now dead :) 

It became useless and I am so anxious to recover it. Waaaaa! 

I misconfigured and corrupted my firmware.

I messed up. huhuhuhu

It didn't boot and only shows the Samsung LOGO (Funny, I memorized every letter and  the font used by Samsung because of this, nyahaha!)

Well, I tried to unbrick my phone by accessing the Download mode by pressing Volume Down + Home + Power.

Well, it is already back to normal after doing a software update via Samsung Kies but I am still dissapointed because I didn't finish my update to OS 4.2.2. Hayyy...

Atleast, it didn't become a defective mobile and lost its usefulness. (Hmm.. that's the worst if that happened!)

Haha..

I won't do a software upgrade again? ;)

Another techie experience. ;)

Thank You LORD ;)
