Hey ppl. :-)
OK listen up: As most of you guys know, A2 permanent patching has recently become possible. I was very glad when I found this out and yesterday I patched my phone (K850I). It was a graphics patch (a battery icon). It worked very well and looked great, but when I was using the radio all of a sudden my phone gave a Blue Ring Of Death. It usually just restarted but this time it just stayed off. Just the Blue Ring and the keypad would light up. It was totally bricked. So today I had to do a hard re-flash with A2U. I'm so glad it works again.
I don't want you guys to go through the same sh!t I did. So please, realize that there is a chance that your phone can brick after patching, or maybe just after converting to BROWN.
Thnx :-)

I'd say you were just unlucky and nothing to do with the patch or brown conversion.

May be its happen because you're unlucky and k850i the phone which have so many problems even before it patched. My k800i have patched almost 1 year, k550i now almost 2 years and they're still great until now.
When i get free way to patch my c901 i'll never think twice
but you must be carefull to patch your phone.

I would agree with him... The k850 firmware is buggy. And imo it was unlucky case. Anyway this also may happen with other buggy phones running the same platform.

BROD is a hardware problem that can ''kill'' the firmware at any time, that's why 2 years later and many FW upgrades this problem is still not resolved

BROD is just a ring indicating a firmware error has occured not a hardware error, the main reason BROD happens because K850 manage the heap memory really bad. And a reply to the topic author, Your BROD hasn't got anything to do with your patching unless it reboots by a bad patch. My K850 runs perfect patched
