I managed to take it in for repairs and they re-flashed the OS for me. I think I was lucky. I was only out of action for half a day and I managed to get it repaired under warranty.<\/p>\n<p>Well I&#8217;ve had another attempt. I just can&#8217;t help myself. I&#8217;ve upgraded from Android 2.2 to version 2.3.3. I must say I&#8217;m quite impressed. I just couldn&#8217;t wait for the official release. Everything is running well and I&#8217;m quite please with the look and feel. One thing I am a bit disappointed in is that the Daily briefing application seems to be missing. I&#8217;m not sure if Samsung have totally removed the application for good or if it was just an oversight in this release. In its place seems to be a download application, that shows you a list of all files that have been downloaded from the internet and other sources.<\/p>\n<p>When I installed Gingerbread I lost all my root capabilities so I installed CF-Root 3.7. This package came with Tweaks which optimises the performance of the phone so I&#8217;m not sure if the phone is operating smoothly because of Gingerbread or because of Tweaks. Another good tool which is part of CF-Root is ClockWorkMod Manager. I backed up my stock ROM before everything fell to pieces so I&#8217;m going to have a go at restoring my original ROM when my <a href=\"http:\/\/shop.ebay.com.au\/?_from=R40&amp;_trksid=p3907.m570.l1313&amp;_nkw=UNBrick+Samsung+i9000+galaxy+S+download+mode+micro+USB&amp;_sacat=See-All-Categories\">UNBrick download mode micro USB device<\/a> arrives. This should allow me to recover if I should brick my phone again.<\/p>\n<p>I think I bricked my phone because I didn&#8217;t really fully understand what I was doing. I now understand the PIT, PDA, Phone and CSC files so I should not have too many problems, or problems that I can not sort out next time round.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>After totally screwing my phone a couple of weeks ago by trying to rollback from CyanogenMod 7 to a stock install, I actually bricked my phone.
