Jellybean FINALLY available on O2 in the UK

[robdy2k]

Been waiting for this for what feels like an AGE after getting the 'unfortunately the Samsung MAP Service stopped' error since before Xmas after ICS upgrade (didn't do a full factory reset and wipe mind) and being too afraid to root whilst my phone is still (just) in warranty. With about a months warranty left to play for I shall now do the full wipe and look forward to my first taste of JellyBean. I for one do not plan on jumping the good ship SGSII for a SGS4 for some time... I think there is life in this old dog yet and I don't see any game changers on the SGS4 that warrant the hike in contract price etc.

ONWARDS, lets have a bit of the Jelly Bean goodness!

Arrrrggghhhh! The update bricked my phone! Serious. I did a factory reset and wipe of both internal and external storage and it worked a treat, lasted about two hours, installed all my apps and after a reboot it just died. Stays at the SGSII logo at startup and will go no further. Think I've got about a month of warranty left on it though, so glad I didn't root it now.

Any ideas on a quick solution please?

If not it will go back to the O2 shop today!

First and foremost... your phone is not, "bricked"!

Bricked is a term used when describing a phone that will not even turn on.

Try the recovery options in post #1, here. Failing that, you can re-flash your firmware for O2, using Odin, as described in #1.7, here.

PS - it seemed very nice whilst it lasted
